Guys - the NBA season starts tomorrow! Obviously this may be the shortest offseason in NBA history, but I still can't believe that the season is already here. While it was a compact offseason with little superstar movement, there were a lot of exciting trades, stories, signings, like CP3 to the Suns, the Westbrook and Wall swap, the entire 2025 draft class going to the Thunder, and James Harden spending more time at the strip club buffet than the Rockets practice facility.

Anyways, I am so excited to bring you our first collab episode today. We are joined in this one for a conversation with The Towel Boys, a pair of NBA-based podcasters, where we discuss some of the most exciting teams we are looking forward to watching for the upcoming 2020-21 NBA season. There are 6 of us in this one - yes, it gets a little hectic - and we came up with 5 different teams that we thought made some interesting offseason moves. We talked potential starting lineups, rankings/records predictions, potential MVP candidates, and so much more throughout this episode, and we had a ton of fun with it. For reference, the teams and lineups we discussed were:

Detroit Pistons: Killian Hayes, Derrick Rose (or Delon Wright), Svi (not gonna try on that last name), Blake Griffin, Mason Plumlee

Philadelphia 76ers: Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Danny Green, Tobias Harris, Joel Embiid

Dallas Mavericks: Luka Doncic, Tim Hardaway Jr., Josh Richardson, Maxi Kleber (or Dorian Finney-Smith), Kristaps Porzingis

Portland Trail Blazers: Damian Lillard, CJ McCollum, Derrick Jones Jr., Robert Covington, Jusuf Nurkic

Phoenix Suns: Chris Paul, Devin Booker, Mikal Bridges, Cameron Johnson, Deandre Ayton

BONUS team we talked about - Utah Jazz: Mike Conley, Donovan Mitchell, Joe Ingles, Bojan Bogdanovic, Rudy Gobert

We're looking forward to some great NBA basketball this season, and are glad we can get a preview out to you guys before it officially begins!
