On today's show Andrew Sharp and Ben Golliver begin the (real) offseason by looking at the big picture. Who will be the 10 best players in the league five years from now? Nominees include: Anthony Davis, Giannis, KD (if he's not retired), Embiid (if he's healthy), KAT, Kyrie, Ben Simmons, Devin Booker, and more. They also discuss this year's draft class, where Donovan Mitchell and Jayson Tatum might fit, whether 39 year-old LeBron James will remain dominant, and how LeBron James Jr. will fare at the next level. From there (29:00) they move to this year's season, Kevin Love vs. DeMar DeRozan vs. Blake Griffin, and the motivations behind Love's extension with the Cavs. Then (45:00) scenes from Dwight Howard's introduction in D.C., the state of the Wolves (53:00), and Jabari Parker's thoughts on defense (63:00). At the end (70:00): The Lakers offseason, Ben-splaining, pronouncing 'Bjelica', and NBA tattoos.
