WE'RE BACK, Cleveland is Believing, Nets are burning, Philly and Milwaukee are churning, 2022 NBA Draft Prospects (Chet, Jabari, Banchero, Ivey). Philly media poisons Twitter for a day. Embiid is playing the best ball of his career–2022 NBA draft prospects. Oh whatcha say SNL Kings draft decisions.

On this episode of Courtsiders I'm joined by Matt Brooks–reporter for the Brooklyn Nets and we talk about what we saw from the preseason and how some of those elements could translate to the season. Also the importance of Patty Mills and a "Brooklyn" identity on defense this year.

On this episode of Courtsiders, Dimitri and I go over the whole Ben Simmons / Philadelphia relationship to see if the end is near, we also go into the whole vaccine situation in the NBA, plus more!

On this episode of Courtsiders Dimitri and I go over our top 3 favorite free agent signings from this NBA offseason and ones we're not so fond of. We also go over which team we think can take the "jump" from each conference. A clue to my favorite free agent signing is that he once came out with a sneaker that most people never bought and even if you did buy it, you might of never received it.
