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?

What if we’re wrong about everything in the NBA Finals? We preview Spurs-Knicks from every angle, then we draft the playoff guys we trust most in a Game 7, and finish with fake trades that would absolutely break NBA Twitter. Dan Favale of Bleacher Report and the Hardwood Knocks podcast joins Wes Goldberg on RealGM Radio for a big-picture NBA Finals preview and offseason chaos episode.

First, Wes and Dan ask: what if we’re wrong about Spurs-Knicks? Are we underrating San Antonio’s readiness with Victor Wembanyama already leading a Finals team? Are we still not taking the Knicks seriously enough after their run through the East? And what is the one Finals storyline nobody is talking about? Then, Wes and Dan draft the top playoff guys they would trust most in a Game 7 right now. This isn’t an MVP ranking or a best-player list — it’s about trust when the stakes are highest. Where do Wemby, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, Steph Curry and others land? Finally, they close with fake trades that would break NBA Twitter.

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio YouTube channel, starting with the latest playoff action before getting into their best NBA takes of the week.

Wes argues that the twin-towers era may already be over before it ever really began. After teams like the Rockets, Timberwolves and Cavaliers struggled in the playoffs, are jumbo lineups being exposed? The NBA may still value rim protection, but the next wave of elite bigs — Victor Wembanyama, Chet Holmgren and Evan Mobley — looks different from the traditional two-big builds teams used to counter Nikola Jokic, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Joel Embiid.

Then, Mike explains why the Memphis Grizzlies may be the best-positioned team in the NBA Draft with the No. 3 pick, able to land a star prospect without the pressure of making the top decision. Plus, the guys say goodbye to the Cavaliers with three ways to fix Cleveland this offseason, including what the James Harden trade means, why Kenny Atkinson is returning, and how the Cavs should rethink their championship path.
