Could the Boston Celtics actually be willing to trade Jaylen Brown for Giannis Antetokounmpo? On this episode of Good Take, Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer react to the latest Giannis rumors and debate whether we're focusing on the wrong part of Boston's reported involvement. If the Celtics are serious, what would a realistic offer look like, and how does it compare to Miami's?

Then it's time for Good Take. Wes makes the case that Darryn Peterson should be the No. 1 pick in the NBA Draft, while Mike unveils his "Changed My Mind" team featuring players who dramatically altered his perception this season. In the And-1 segment, Wes reveals his updated Top 10 NBA players heading into next season, including where Victor Wembanyama, Jalen Brunson, Luka Doncic, and Giannis rank after a wild year around the league. Finally, Summer 3-Way heads to Utah. The guys lay out a three-step plan to fix the Jazz, including a bold Lauri Markkanen trade, a Darryn Peterson draft strategy, and how to build around Walker Kessler and the team's young core.

On this week's episode of Good Take, Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer react to the latest NBA Finals game before bringing their best NBA takes of the week.

First, Mike argues that the 2024 NBA Draft could make history for all the wrong reasons. Could this class produce just one All-Star, making it the weakest star-producing draft class in generations? Then Wes counters with a draft philosophy take of his own. As roster construction becomes increasingly difficult, are 3-and-D wings the single safest and smartest first-round investment an NBA team can make? The guys discuss player development, trade value, roster flexibility and why players in the Mikal Bridges and Desmond Bane mold have become some of the league's most valuable assets.

Finally, it's time for another edition of Summer 3-Way, where Wes and Mike build a three-step plan to fix the Los Angeles Clippers. Should the Clippers stay patient with Kawhi Leonard? What should they do in the draft? And how can they maximize the roster after already making major moves at the trade deadline?
