Summary

Buckle up! John returns with a riveting explanation of all the crazy cap machinations that made the Wolves/Knicks trade possible. Does the league have a right to be annoyed with this kind of “circumvention?” 12:40. We also discuss whether we would have done this deal as the Knicks and Wolves and the pros and cons for each side. 18:23. Then we discuss the retirement of Derrick Rose and whether he should be a Hall-of-Famer (38:08), and lament the early passing of Dikembe Mutombo. 43:47. Then, we play a little playoff matchup roulette among some of the top teams in the East and the West and project the winner of some matchups we’d like to see. 48:03.

0:46.4	So John, one year, Nate, one year is really more like an engagement than a marriage. I just
0:52.2	want to point out. I don't want people to feel too daunted, but, you know, if they're a little commitment phobic or whatever. Yeah. Well, by
0:58.4	Hollywood standards, it's actually like it. I guess it depends what circles you run in. Yeah.
1:05.2	So the town's trade is complete. We'll talk about the merits of it momentarily, but the cap gymnastics
1:10.8	were rather remarkable in the end by the Knicks in particular.
1:16.4	Let's really give people an exciting view into what they could get by subscribing to Dunkdown Prime by going through all this.

1:31.6	bridge's trade and stay below the second apron and to not be hard capped at the first
1:38.0	apron so that they could complete this trade, right?
1:41.0	Because they had to do that first.
1:42.4	They had to aggregate enough salary so that
1:44.1	was an even swap of money so that it didn't invoke the going over limit that would have
1:50.6	kept them at the first apron. So they did a sign and trade with Shake Milton. They 50% guaranteed
1:55.7	the salary of Mamadi Diakite, a national champion at the University of Virginia, I might add. And they did that
