Kawhi's a Raptor, DeRozan's a Spur, but Marcus Smart is still a Celtic.

We talk this past week's free agency frenzy, plus run through the second half of our Summer League Wrap: The Western Conference.

Part 1 of our complete wrap of the NBA Summer League. Team by team the boys run through strategies for the regular season, player scouting reports, and under the radar choices to keep your eyes out for as we move into training camp. Today, we start in the East!

With free agency beginning to settle down somewhat, the Backdoor Cutters take a look at all the deals from the past week and weigh in on the teams & players who've killed it, as well as who's copped the shit end of the stick.

Free agency is officially underway! LeBron wasted no time in finding a new team either, signing for the Los Angeles Lakers before we could even say, "passmethesauceformyfourandtwenty". This week we have a look into all the deals so far.

In the wake of the 2018 NBA Draft, Jake, Josh & Batey talk their pick and trade grades (Spoiler: Dallas did a good), as well as what's happening in the rumour mill with Kawhi, LeBron and Dwight Howard...?

After dying an agonizing, painful death at the end of the 2017/18 NBA season, the Backdoor Cut boys are REBORN for the 2018/19 draft! Will the Suns take Ayton? Will the Grizzlies trade their pick? Will Batey stop hunting Elk? All will be revealed.

In this, the final Backdoor Cut of the season, Jake, Josh & Batey talk over the NBA Finals series, the impending doom of Cleveland, LeBron's legacy, and all the biggest surprises/disappointments over the course of 2017-18.

What have we learned from the first two games of the finals? Did Chris Paul's injury rob us of a Rockets/Cavs series? What in the world is going on with Bryan Colangelo? And who will be lucky enough to draft Mohamed Bamba? Having succumb to various illnesses, the boys apologize for their collective shit show of a voice.

Is LeBron a human man? The Backdoor boys discuss while offering their sincerest commiserations to the fallen Celtics, and wonder who exactly this basketball deity would have a better chance of beating in the Finals.

Leaving Jake & Josh in his dust, Batey is off again on some sort of crap shooting/elk hunting trip to the jungle. Meanwhile, cold, confused and alone, the duo analyze the importance of ECF Game 4, discuss the futility of the Rockets, and breakdown what exactly the Phoenix Suns should do with the first overall pick.
