Summary

Cleveland made some adjustments in Game 2, but ultimately the game had the same flow as Game 1. Will the series shift in Cleveland? The Lakers have played OKC well through 2 games with their doubling of Shai, but OKC won the game with their MVP off the floor. 41:00 Then, we look at the free agent small forwards.  What does LeBron James want? If it’s just his on-floor ability, what kind of contract should he command? We also discuss Andrew Wiggins with his team option and go deep on the Thunder finances with Lu Dort’s team option and the Celtics’ with Jordan Walsh.  Plus, what should Tari Eason’s market look like in restricted free agency? 1:06:00
