The Ringer's Bill Simmons is joined by Ryen Russillo to discuss some three-day-old NBA draft thoughts, including Cam Whitmore's slide to 20th, the Clippers, and the Mavericks' draft day moves (1:33), before wondering what the Kings are up to after clearing a sizeable amount of cap space and presenting the most logical Damian Lillard trade for all parties (19:53). Then, they figure out which teams are going to run it back "one more time" next season (43:20), and guess the contract and team for NBA free agents, including Dillon Brooks, Fred VanVleet, James Harden, Brook Lopez, Jerami Grant, and more (1:10:04).
Host: Bill Simmons
