The NBA’s official start to the offseason started with a bang, as teams could finally sign free agents and trade players. Some of the biggest moves include Oklahoma City signing MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to a new supermax contract, the Nuggets making a big trade, and the Bucks shocking the NBA world by releasing star Damian Lillard to sign Myles Turner away from the Pacers. Spotrac’s Keith Smith crunches the numbers and explains how these new deals will work under the league’s new salary cap and which teams are close to the dreaded luxury tax apron.

Plus, sneaker insider Nick DePaula dishes on the latest shoe news, including New Balance increasing their basketball footprint with the signing of Cooper Flagg and what he’s hearing about Caitlin Clark’s long-awaited signature Nike sneaker. He’s also giving us a first look at the new Air Jordan 40s.

And EA Sports is bringing back its NCAA college basketball video game after shelving it back in 2009. Extra Points founder/publisher Matt Brown joins Baker Machado and Renee Washington to explain how college athletes receiving NIL payments played a huge role in the game’s return and if EA Sports will be able to extend its licensing deal for Madden NFL, which expires in 2026.
