Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Jayson Tatum's new contract, Celtics ownership looking to sell the team and the implications of the Klay Thompso trade.

After winning the 2024 NBA Finals, Jayson Tatum just signed the largest contract in NBA history with the Boston Celtics. Tatum's contract is a 5-year, $315M supermax extension. How does this affect the future of the Celtics? Why is Celtics ownership trying to sell now?

After spending 13 seasons with the Golden State Warriors, Klay Thompson agreed to a sign and trade that will send Thompson to the Dallas Mavericks on a 3-year, $50M contract. The Mavericks and Los Angeles Lakers were the favorites to land Thompson. Why did Thompson end up in Dallas instead of L.A.? Are you surprised with the trade? How much better did the Mavericks get? Did the Warriors prioritize Draymond Green over Klay Thompson? Where do the Warriors go from here? Are the Warriors done?
