2017 NBA Draft coverage and hot takes
from Relatively Speaking Podcast · host Relatively Speaking Podcast
The Relatively Speaking Podcast is back and is without a 2017 NBA Draft hangover. In fact, it is back with such great happiness that it got to consume the draft that it might name its first podcast baby "2017 NBA Draft." In what is obviously the biggest thing happening in the sports world, Jared and Joseph discuss all things draft-related. There was a lot to go through after the 2017 NBA Draft. Some picks, guys falling, and a few trades that seemed awfully one-sided. It is a lot for the casual fan to consume. Have no fear, however, because Jared and Joseph are here to ease that burden for the casual fan. Also, to make bad jokes. Did the Bulls get swindled on Thursday night? Why is Chicago rebuilding without draft picks? Phil Jackson's relationship with Kristaps Porzingis is not ideal. What are the Knicks doing? Joseph believes the much ballyhooed Sacramento draft class isn't actually good. Will Danny Ainge ever use any of his assets to do anything of worth? The Philadelphia 76ers have trusted the process. Does it have a payoff anytime soon? Player comparisons are lazy and mostly way off... and yet we still made a few. Did the Lakers get it wrong by trading away a young prospect just to dump salary? How did we consume the draft coverage? You can follow Jared on the mean streets of Twitter @JMintzHoops. If you're feeling froggy, jump! Also, follow @JosephNardone.
