Logan and Raja open by discussing what it’s like to be a retired NBA player during the offseason and the last time Raja almost convinced himself to make a comeback to the league (2:59). Next, they preview the upcoming NBA free agency period and debate whether or not it will have significant implications on the year ahead, and explain what it’s like for a journeyman role player during this time (13:05). Later, the guys walk through this year’s top free agents and pick their dream destinations for each player before touching on the rumors about Kyrie Irving going to Phoenix (30:41). Finally, the guys close with their Real Ones of the Week (52:00).
