In this episode of the Good word with good willYahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Vincent Goodwill covers the latest news surrounding the Cleveland Cavaliers’ hiring of Kenny Atkinson as their new head coach. Vince questions whether the team’s involvement in the process is good for the organization, but he still has high hopes for Evan Mobley and the future of the Cavs.
We haven’t had a chance to discuss whether the Los Angeles Lakers have officially hired JJ Redick as their new head coach, and Vinnie is curious to see if the other players in the locker room will see Redick or LeBron James as the actual person in charge .
The Detroit Pistons fired Monty Williams last week, a move made more by team ownership than the front office, and now we’ll wait and see which free agent coach they hire to replace him and what they do with Cade Cunningham’s extension.
After explaining why the Chicago Bulls would trade for Josh Giddey, and how Alex Caruso fits with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Vinnie welcomes Yahoo Sports NBA draft analyst Kysten Peek to the show to preview the festivities and predict what the hawks will do with the number 1 pick and give her most exciting take on zach eden.
Finally, Tom Haberstroh joins Vincent to talk about his Yahoo Sports article that cast doubt on the legitimacy of Michael Jordan’s 1988 Defensive Player of the Year award.
