Third Apron episodes:

June 12, 2024 2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 6: Indiana Pacers
The Indiana Pacers took two short trips to the lottery and made it back
to the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time in a decade. Context
for their playoff path aside, it's a pretty quick turnaround for them
considering they only pivoted away from the Domantas Sabonis-led core
just two years ago. They are now locked into this core led by Tyrese
Haliburton who is about to start making maximum dollars. Pascal Siakam
is going to command just as much, and they have some decisions to make
on other players like Obi Toppin. There isn't much for the organization
to do this offseason beyond retaining everyone and developing more
continuity.

June 12, 2024 2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 5: Oklahoma City Thunder
The Oklahoma City Thunder's future is looking extremely bright with Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Williams. They became the
youngest team to win a playoff series and are so close to getting to the
Finals. They need to address their frontcourt and they have the means
to do it. Armed with $33 million in cap space, they could sign just
about any top forward who wants to join. They also have so many draft
picks to make an adequate offer for just about any frontcourt player in a
trade. The possibilities are abundant, and I go over one where they use
some of their flexibility to lock up Isaiah Joe while adding an
All-Star forward.

June 12, 2024 2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 3: Cleveland Cavaliers
The Cleveland Cavaliers have incrementally progressed over the past
three seasons with a talented but flawed roster. After winning their
first playoff series, expectations are picking up and the pressure is on
organizationally. The biggest domino is Donovan Mitchell. They gave up a
lot for him and need to keep him long-term. If he doesn't extend, do
they risk taking him into free agency? Either way, it sounds like at
least one of him or Darius Garland will be traded this season. And with
Evan Mobley set to get a significant extension this summer, do they
consider trading Jarrett Allen as well? And would acquiring another max
player like Brandon Ingram make sense for their payroll long-term? It
may be time to split up the two small guards and two centers to create a
more versatile lineup.

7:04 Evan Mobley
8:25 2025-26 payroll projections and why trading for Brandon Ingram and having 3 max players might not be viable

June 12, 2024 2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 2: New York Knicks
The New York Knicks are in such a great place heading into the
offseason. They have two key free agents to re-sign in OG Anunoby and
Isaiah Hartenstein. Both will get significant raises, but the Knicks
should be able to pay whatever it takes to retain them while keeping the
payroll reasonable. At the same time, they're still armed with 8
first-round picks to trade for a star. Will that player finally become
available? I go over contract projections for Anunoby, Hartenstein, as
well as Jalen Brunson, and show how they could also potentially add an
expensive star like Giannis Antetokounmpo while abiding by the new trade
rules.

June 11, 2024 2024 Free Agency/Offseason Series - Ep 1: Denver Nuggets
Hi everyone, this is my first video on this channel where I discuss the
NBA with a focus on the salary cap. The Denver Nuggets were eliminated
last night but this core will still be contending for titles. But for
how much longer? It seems obvious that they'll keep everyone, but the
new CBA could make it challenging. They'll probably happily spend
whatever it takes, but they probably want to at least avoid the newly
implemented second apron. I get into that and explain how the Nuggets
could potentially do that over the following two seasons while giving
Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope new contracts.
They may have no choice but to be over the second apron at some point,
but there's definitely a pathway to avoid it.
