Joe and Brandon discuss the Franchise Hope rankings based on free agency contracts and their impact on NBA teams.

The top team is the Denver Nuggets, who move up from fourth place last year. Brandon likes the Warriors to be the second-best team in the NBA due to the addition of Chris Paul. Brandon believes Chris Paul is a championship-level player who adapts his game and can be a valuable addition to the Warriors. They also discuss the top seven NBA teams, with Boston at the top and Milwaukee at number two.

Both think the East is weaker than the West due to a lack of top talent in the East.

Plus a lengthy conversation and debate regarding the New York Knicks.
