Jose Salviati and Steve Purciello discuss Steve’s latest “13 Rules” NBA offseason thoughts, focusing on major trade fallout. They question whether Miami improves after acquiring Giannis Antetokounmpo given limited cap flexibility, likely reliance on minimum contracts, Giannis’ age and expected missed games, and the lack of depth beyond Giannis and Bam Adebayo, while also noting rumors of LeBron potentially fitting as a distributor if he’d accept a reduced role. They analyze Milwaukee choosing Miami’s larger trade package over a Jaylen Brown-centered deal due to the Bucks’ lack of draft assets, and consider how Brad Stevens’ communication and potential contract extensions could affect Brown’s mindset. They also break down Charlotte trading LaMelo Ball for Naz Reid and picks, citing concerns about Ball’s late-game decisions and defense, and assess Minnesota’s risky shift toward shooting to compete with bigger Western contenders like San Antonio and Oklahoma City.
