    NBA Free Agency Day 2 + How Bad is the Dennis Schroder Signing for the Kings?

    In this episode, we covered a wild stretch of NBA offseason moves, starting with the Bucks shockingly stretch-waiving Damian Lillard, then quickly signing Myles Turner to reinforce their defense alongside Giannis. Denver made a smart swap, trading Michael Porter Jr. for Cam Johnson to boost their two-way play. Atlanta quietly improved by signing Nickeil Alexander-Walker, adding depth and defense on the wing. Sacramento’s signing of Dennis Schröder from the Pistons was puzzling and raised questions about the team’s overall direction. We also highlighted the Hawks and Grizzlies as teams making sharp, under-the-radar moves this offseason.
