The Lakers are reportedly being sold for $12 billion to Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner—just 18 months after Mark Walter purchased the franchise. What could another massive valuation mean for NBA expansion in Las Vegas and Seattle? And somehow, Luka Doncic could already be playing for his third majority owner.

The RealGM Radio crew is together for a Summer Roundtable! Wes Goldberg is joined by Mo Dakhil and Jared Dubin of Double Dribble and Basketball Poetry's Mike Shearer to react to another stunning Lakers ownership change, break down the NBA's newly announced schedule and battle through a tiered fantasy draft.

First, the Lakers are reportedly being sold for $12 billion to Bob Iger and Joshua Kushner—just 18 months after Mark Walter purchased the franchise. What could another massive valuation mean for NBA expansion in Las Vegas and Seattle? And somehow, Luka Doncic could already be playing for his third majority owner.

Then, the guys grade the NBA's Christmas Day slate and opening week schedule before things get competitive.

Using The Ringer's player rankings, Wes, Mo, Jared and Mike snake-draft seven-man rosters—with a catch: Each round is limited to a different 10-player tier, and once that round ends, every undrafted player from that tier disappears. Who can build the best team without immediately regretting their picks?

What should NBA teams expect from star players in 2026? This episode of RealGM Radio considers how superstar value now extends beyond scoring averages and highlight moments. We discuss availability, playoff adaptability, defensive engagement, playmaking, leadership, conditioning, and the ability to elevate teammates in different lineup contexts. 

The conversation examines how organizations should evaluate stars whose regular-season production may not translate against elite postseason defenses, as well as the importance of accountability and partnership with coaches and executives. With salaries, expectations, and roster restrictions all rising, which traits make a star truly worth building around for a championship contender today?

Can a modern NBA draft class become the greatest defensive class in league history? Wes Goldberg is joined by Basketball Poetry's Mike Shearer to debate whether the 2017 and 2023 draft classes are on pace to challenge legendary groups like 1984 and 1996 thanks to the emergence of Bam Adebayo, Derrick White, Victor Wembanyama, Amen Thompson and more. Then Mike brings his own Good Take on why restricted free agency has become one of the NBA's most misunderstood roster-building tools. 

Finally, it's another edition of Summer 3-Way, where Wes and Mike each lay out the three moves they would make to finish the Miami Heat's offseason, including whether Miami should prioritize Klay Thompson, pivot to DeMar DeRozan, target an overlooked young player, or preserve flexibility for the buyout market. Plus, Wes celebrates another Good Take victory as the audience continues to decide who has the best basketball arguments each week.
