Episode description as stored

In our final show from Chicago, Ryen opens with the Pistons’ major problems after going down 3–2 to the Cavs. Then, Warriors assistant GM Larry Harris stops by to look back at the process of drafting Steph Curry, the pitch to Kevin Durant, why the two-timelines strategy didn’t work, and the continued search for another star to play alongside Steph. Next, Rockets GM Rafael Stone joins to talk about the injury-riddled season, expectations for Kevin Durant, and what needs to change next season for Houston to take the next step. Finally, Kyle and Ceruti hang out for some listener-submitted Life Advice, including a girlfriend wanting to move and more.
