Dr. Tom "The Scientist" Haberstroh, Pulitzer Prize Winner Amin Elhassan... and producer Anthony Mayes have found their own Pepe Silvia: Guggenheim Partners. We take you back to the first domino that led to Peyton Watson's sign and trade to Cleveland and induct James Harden into the $500 Mil club. Truth Teller Henry Abbott of TrueHoop and author of Ballistic is fed up with the NBA PR machine and urges you not to take the NBA at their word. The league’s response to the Terry Rozier and Tim Donaghy scandals gives us insight into their current PR playbook. Are NBA investigations designed to find the truth or protect the league’s brand? Plus the rise of private equity, ultra-wealthy ownership groups and teams as tradable assets is reshaping the future of the sport.
