In this episode of No Cap roomThe Ringer’s Dan Devine and Michael Pina sit down to talk basketball while Jake Fischer takes a day to recover from the 2024 NBA Draft.
The guys start with what they liked (Minnesota is aggressive, San Antonio is patient) from the 2024 NBA Draft, as well as what they didn’t like (Denver trades Reggie Jackson, all eyes on Bronny James).
As they look back on the trade that sent Mikal Bridges from the Brooklyn Nets to the New York Knicks, Dan and Michael review the Knicks roster and wonder how that team will fare in the Eastern Conference next season.
The guys quickly made a few more trades, talking about Deni Avdija being sent from the Washington Wizards to the Portland Trail Blazers in exchange for Malcolm Brogdon and draft assets before discussing the latest news on the Tim Hardaway Jr. trade. (along with draft picks ) from the Dallas Mavericks to the Detroit Pistons, bringing back Knicks guard Quentin Grimes.
Going into NBA free agency, which starts in about two days, the guys talk about all the different options for Paul George and debate whether he’s underrated or overrated. The guys also talk about the Chicago Bulls, whether they’ll bring back DeMar DeRozan and whether they’ve finally tanked.
We end the show with a conversation about Brandon Ingram, who will likely be traded this offseason. Michael believes he is a superstar hiding in plain sight and can’t wait to see him find himself in a better situation for his skills.
