The 2022-2023 offseason kicks off in earnest on Thursday evening as the free agency period on the next NBA season is about to begin & the main question on everyone's mind is, "what will happen to Kyrie Irving?" The controversial point guard has a player option on his deal and reportedly may try to orchestrate a sign-and-trade out of Brooklyn. Where would he go? The Lakers seem like the odds on favorite but there may be a secret Kyrie suitor waiting in the wings. And if Kyrie is no longer in Brooklyn, what happens to Kevin Durant?
Chris Haynes & Vincent Goodwill spend the bulk of today's podcast breaking down the crazy events that have led to this moment for a Nets franchise that only a few months ago had James Harden, Durant & Irving — but by next week may be without all three.
Also in the podcast: the guys discuss if Phoenix Suns C Deandre Ayton may be on the move, what will happen with Chicago Bulls G Zach LaVine & why in the world the New York Knicks did so many draft-night gymnastics to make a run at Jalen Brunson.

Chris Haynes is joined by Yahoo's Vincent Goodwill to take stock of the league one week after the trade deadline.
With the post-buyout additions of Andre Drummond to the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as Blake Griffin & LaMarcus Aldridge to the Brooklyn Nets, does something need to change in how these past-prime stars get acquired after the trade deadline?
Some say all the additions made to the Brooklyn Nets roster this season turned them into the NBA's villains.

Later in the show, the guys break down the new-look Denver Nuggets, who play the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. Are they the best in the Western Conference?

Over the weekend, the Houston Rockets made their debut after their home opener was postponed due to COVID protocols. James Harden dropped 44 points in an OT loss to the Portland Trailblazers, proving that the internet can get all the laughs it want at Harden’s weight & extracurricular activities — but he’s still one of the best playmakers in the league.

(22:30)
Across the halls of the Staples Center, the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship and seemingly got even stronger by adding Dennis Schröder and Montrezl Harrell. That being said, does this roster construction mean that Anthony Davis needs to take on a new role this season? (29:30)
