Welcome back to the Sports Town Podcast — this is Season 5, Episode 4, and today I’m joined by a special guest from the Life of the Game Podcast for a loaded episode.

We’re diving into everything from the NBA Playoffs to offseason drama. We kick things off with our thoughts on how this year’s playoffs have shaped up and make our picks for a wild Thunder vs. Pacers Finals matchup.

Was Jokic snubbed for MVP? Should LeBron have opted in? And what exactly are the Lakers going to do in free agency  

We also dig into which free agents are on the move and how many more years LeBron has left.

Plus: Zion Williamson's uncertain future, if Boston could still contend without Tatum, and whether the second apron will lead to the quietest free agency we’ve seen in a very long time!

You’re not gonna want to miss this one. Let’s get into it.
