Hey guys and welcome back to the podcast, I am your host Joshua Unangst and today we are focusing on RJ Barrett and the Knicks. Instead of filling 45 minutes of your time with Kevin Durant, we will be doing it instead with RJ Barrett. We go through the career of RJ Barrett and why all these points/signs prove to everyone that the Knicks were keen on keeping the elite two-way player.
Make sure to follow us on social media and keep up with our newsletter as we go in-depth with RJ Barrett, Donovan Mitchell, and many other topics and players such as those.
According to multiple reports, spearheaded by ESPN, Brook Lopez did have his sights set on signing with the Los Angeles Lakers but pivoted due to the uncertainty of LeBron James’ future with the Lakers.
The Los Angeles Clippers swooped in and secured him for their center room. With him not wanting to be apart of the current LeBron drama in L.A., Lopez passed up being a starter to now being the backup to Ivica Zubac.
This offseason saw Deandre Ayton be bought out by the Portland Trail Blazers and signed by the Lakers, which came days after the Lopez news.
According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the Indiana Pacers and Isaiah Jackson have come to an agreement on a contract that will prioritize him as their new starting center.
Jackson is coming off a torn Achilles that he suffered in early November, which saw the 23-year-old’s season end way too soon.
Indiana has been the only team Jackson has been apart of for his four-year NBA journey. This contract will take him through 2027-28.
According to Marc Stein, the Golden State Warriors have been strongly interested in bringing back De’Anthony Melton for the next season. Last offseason saw Golden State sign Melton to a one-year, $12.4 million deal.
Fans only got to experience six games of Melton’s talents due to him suffering a partially torn left ACL. That injury left him done for the remainder of the season. For the Warriors, they would love to bring him back to give him another shot on the team.
Golden State has been linked to signing players like Al Horford, Bradley Beal, and now potentially the 27-year-old.
