Welcome to our next traditional installment of the podcast! We stepped away from the studio show experience while in Las Vegas for NBA Summer League to catch up with Overtime Elite General Manager & Head of Basketball Damien Wilkins. During his time in charge of the growing program, there have been more players drafted in the top ten of the NBA draft than any other program. This year, two alumni, Alex Sarr and Rob Dillingham were taken in the first ten of the draft, while Tyler Smith was taken 33rd overall. During this one-on-one, host Aaron Washington gets Damien's thoughts on what stood out about the three elite athletes when they first stepped into the OTE world, how they grew their games while in their development program, and how they could contribute to their new NBA teams during year one and beyond.

Apologies in advance for the less-than-stellar audio quality at certain points. Due to unforeseen circumstances, this episode had to be recorded in the Thomas & Mack center during a live game.

For part two of our Summer League Studio show series, we bring in college basketball player Angel Reyes for a quick chat about this year's iteration of the USA Basketball program. The Paris Olympics are around the corner and this version of the United States has played a couple of exhibition games to get ready for the big dance. Let's look back at the results of those contests, the makeup of the roster, and some interesting storylines to get an understanding of how the team might perform and what the points of emphasis are.

On this episode of the NTC Podcast, host Aaron Washington is joined by Steven Bagell, who currently hosts the Bird Rights Podcast. The two team up to discuss the details of some recent off-season NBA deals including the Franz Wagner rookie extension, Jonathan Issac Renegotiation & Extension, Caleb Martin free agent signing, and the Sign & Trade for DeRozan. The primary objectives of this conversation are to provide insight into the teams' possible thought process when executing these deals, explain the rules behind the Renegotiation & Extension, which is a rare occurrence in the NBA, and how these players could impact their current (or new) teams next season.

As the 2024 NBA Off-Season begins, we kick off our coverage with an in-depth breakdown of the Bulls/Thunder trade, which involved Josh Giddey and Alex Caruso. We briefly look at how the addition of these players to their new teams could influence on-court production in the coming seasons. We also give you some CBA/cap insights to help explain how each team executed the deal. Later, we look at the new contract given to Kings guard Malik Monk. Why was he worth this payday and why was technically not the most the Kings could have offered him? We get into all this and more during this new episode!
