Dunkin' with Dom Episode #41: NBA Western Conference Free Agency Full Analysis, including the Lakers' New Big Three, CP3 Gets Paid, Golden State Stays Pat, Pelicans Delusion, and more with Zack Dietl
Welcome to the forty-first episode of the Dunkin' with Dom podcast! In this episode, we'll pick up right where we left off in the last episode, this time focusing on all the major free agent signings and trades made in the Western Conference. Zack and I will spend the first part of this podcast talking about the Lakers and their retooled roster. How will Russell Westbrook fit alongside LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Should the Lakers have traded for Buddy Hield? Can the new Lakers' role players overcome questions regarding age, fit, and play style? After that, we'll focus on some other notable teams out West that caught our attention. Can CP3 age well into his new (and very expensive) contract? Are the Suns at risk of not returning to the NBA Finals? Why didn't Golden State trade for another star like Bradley Beal or Damian Lillard? Can they return to basketball prominence, especially in the middle of Steph Curry's prime? Are the clocks already ticking for Luka Doncic's time in Dallas and Zion Williamson's time in New Orleans? What type of contract will Kawhi Leonard sign? Finally, we'll do a quick run-through of some other notable headlines, including the Spurs hitting the reset button, Utah retooling their roster, the Clippers not going crazy in free agency, and more.
