Hardwood Rundown

With the offseason coming to an end, we’ve pulled together our top 10 players heading into the new season. The top of the list is as you expect but the bottom half is where the magic happens.

Today we predict the award winners for the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season. We predict the usual awards but chucked in a couple of our own (Comeback Player of the Year, Dark Horse Team, Rising Star). Plenty of players set to breakout/continue their stellar play, and we may see a new MVP this season 👀

Today we preview what each team is looking like in the Pacific Division for the 2023-24 NBA season. The Lakers keep their core together to run it back with some other key signings, the Suns and Warriors have interesting rosters to organise with Beal potentially playing the point for Phoenix and CP3 may play off the bench for the Warriors. The Clippers look to remain healthy with their solid roster and the Kings keep their core together for what’s hopefully another impressive season!

Today, we preview what each team is looking like in the Southwest Division for the 2023-24 season. The Rockets are looking for a big improvement year with a solid free agency and draft pickups, the Grizzlies will have to readjust without Morant for 25 games but are still looking dangerous with the additions of Marcus Smart and Derrick Rose. The Mavs had an incredible offseason to keep Kyrie, bring back Seth and other solid role players looking to make a run for the chip.

Today, we preview what each team is looking like in the Northwest Division for the 2023-24 season. The Nuggets keep their core together as they look to repeat, and Jack and I are super excited for the young guns the Thunder with Chet Holgrem returning from season ending injury last year. The Blazers are still figuring out the Dame trade but are still looking solid with Scoot Henderson coming through and Grant and Simons already established. Wolves and Jazz look to remain competitive, but may find it tough in the Wild West. Thanks for tuning in!

Today, we preview what each team is looking like in the Atlantic Division for the 2023-24 season. The Sixers, Celtics and Knicks look to continue their dominance with some key signings for each team keeping them competitive in the East. The Raptors look to pivot from Fred VanVleet to Siakam, OG Anunoby and Scottie Barnes, while the Nets have a completely new face to build around in Mikal Bridges. Thanks for tuning in!

Today, we preview what each team is looking like in the Central division. We are super excited for the Pacers who look geared for a big improvement year. The Bucks are looking to continue their dominance with their vet heavy roster, the Pistons have plenty of young talent and time to develop, the Cavs have made some solid changes which should see them retaining last year's record, and the Bulls may be falling off with Lavine rumoured to be traded and Lonzo Ball out indefinitely. Thanks for listening!

Today, we preview what each team is looking like in the Southeast division. We predict the team MVP, Impact Player, Rising Star and the team record for the 2023-24 NBA season. The Magic look set for a big improvement season, while the Hornets and Wizards will most likely stay where they are. Thanks for listening!

Our favourite time of the year: Free Agency! Rockets made a bunch of moves and rounded out their roster with some vets. The Lakers managed to keep their core together and brought some much needed shooting and defence. Other teams masking a splash were the Kings, Pacers and Suns which all made good moves for their respective teams.

On today’s episode we recap the recent offseason buzz around the league! The Celtics sent Smart to the Grizzlies, and Porzingis found his way to the Celtics to round out their front court. Beal to Phoenix for CP3 was another surprise too! Clippers looking to shop PG13, Blazers potentially trading the 3rd pick and Middleton opting out are our other topics we covered. Thanks for listening!
