Summary

With jump to conclusions week in the books, what predictions are Nate and John thinking about revising? We’ve got major concerns about the Kings and Warriors, plus the Suns are looking a ton better. Then we look at the 2020 free agency and discuss why the extension market played out as it did, plus what the teams with cap space will do now with so many targets off the market. Plus what will happen with key veteran free agents like DeMar DeRozan, Andre Drummond, and Mike Conley? We hit a couple of mailbag questions on what front offices have access to stats wise that laypeople don’t, and whether the league is doing enough to help small markets. And John explains what goes into team reporting about injuries and disabuses Nate of a theory or two. Finally we talk about some of the games we’ve seen in person over the last week.

0:33.4	Well, it's been entertaining.
0:35.5	There's been a lot of really fun games, so that part's been exciting.
0:39.6	There's also been a couple of predictions that we made that are looking a little shaky right now.
0:45.5	So that's always fun. I mean, you know going in that some of what you predicted is going to be wrong.
0:50.5	You know, we're not clairvoyant. So that's fine.
0:55.6	That's great.
0:56.0	That's part of what makes the game exciting and not boring.
0:59.8	So we got a lot to talk about.
1:02.5	Yeah.
1:02.8	So the question is now, do we want to make ourselves doubly wrong by having a preseason prediction,
1:10.5	overreacting to the first two or three games,
1:12.6	changing that prediction, and then having the original prediction eventually come true. That's,
1:17.0	that's what I'm really struggling with right now. This, I mean, this is definitely National
1:21.4	Overreaction Reek, right? But I think, I think sometimes when it really throws you is sometimes the scale of wins and losses or of what's happening.
1:34.2	And so not just like the Pelicans going 0 and 3 doesn't particularly have any profound meaning for me because they were in close games against good teams.
