Late Summer Mailbag

It’s about time to find out what’s on our listeners’ minds via a late summer mailbag. We’ve got some great questions: What do we think of the Knicks lawsuit vs the Raptors? How about the NBA fining James Harden $100,000? How secure are “wink-wink” deals? Is it possible each of the top-5 teams in the East is worse next year? Which stars make a sum greater than their parts? Which year will Luka be the top player in the league, if ever? Who would be the best fitting big for the Lakers to sign? What do we think of the criticisms that the new CBA limits contracts for mid-market guys? How do frozen draft picks and exceptions to the salary cap work?
