Cole and Dmitri here, reporting from that desolate wasteland we call the offseason... but, luckily, there's still tons going on around the NBA! 

We start off by digging deep into why Daryl Morey "stepped down" from his position as GM of the Rockets and looking at the various ways in which an owner can impact the trajectory of their team. We then analyze the Tyronn Lue hiring for the Clippers and talk about whether he'll be able to work through some of the issues that led them to fall so early in this year's playoffs—or if the issues go far deeper. We also touch on some new Dave Joerger, Brett Brown and Van Gundy Brothers news, because why not, and wonder whether Zach LaVine is willing to risk it all to coax free-agent AD over to the Bulls. Finally, we try to sort through all the complications around this unique offseason, including the changes to the draft, the big questions around when free agency will start (and at what salary cap) and, of course, the uncertainty of when we'll get to watch NBA basketball again. 

Though I hear on Earth 2 they're having quite the time... As always, follow us on Twitter and Instagram (@awayteampod) and subscribe, like and leave a review!
