RealGM Radio

Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer are back with Good Take on the RealGM Radio YouTube channel, starting with the Cavaliers’ overtime win over the Pistons. After Kenny Atkinson claimed Cleveland had the momentum in the series, Wes and Mike debate whether the Cavs are actually in control or if Detroit still has answers.

Then it’s time for the week’s best NBA takes. Wes argues that everyone is talking about the San Antonio Spurs the wrong way. Victor Wembanyama is the headline, but Dylan Harper might be the missing piece who turns San Antonio into the NBA’s next great powerhouse. Could Wemby and Harper become the best long-term duo in the league — or even the next Shaq and Kobe?

Mike brings a take on why Jalen Duren’s restricted free agency could become one of the most interesting storylines of the offseason. Plus, the And-1 take explains why the outrage over the Pacers losing their pick may be overblown.

The NBA playoffs are creating big questions across the league, and this episode of RealGM Radio starts with a fast-moving five-pack of NBA observations.

First, Wes Goldberg breaks down the Cavaliers’ massive 23-0 run against the Pistons, Donovan Mitchell’s takeover, and the adjustments Detroit must make to keep the series alive. Was this the version of Mitchell Cleveland has been waiting for, and did the Pistons miss their best chance to steal control of the series?

Then, after another close Lakers loss and the Thunder advancing to the Western Conference Finals, Wes looks at LeBron James’ uncertain future. LeBron said he doesn’t know what comes next, but his postgame comments about being a third option and still chasing championships raise a bigger question: could he eventually look for a different role somewhere else?

Wes also reacts to the NBA Draft Lottery, including big wins for the Bulls and Grizzlies, a mock draft scenario involving Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Cam Boozer, Darius Acuff Jr. and Caleb Wilson, plus what Victor Wembanyama’s elbow moment says about his mindset.

And with reporting that the Milwaukee Bucks are seeking trade offers for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Wes explains what the Bucks should prioritize if they move their franchise superstar — and why a full teardown might not be the right path.

Then, Dieter Kurtenbach of the Bay Area News Group joins RealGM Radio to discuss the mood around the Golden State Warriors, why Steph Curry may age better than Kevin Durant, the NBA Draft Lottery, changes in NBA media coverage, the rise of betting and analysis on broadcasts, streaming, regional sports networks, and whether the Oklahoma City Thunder’s rise has actually been good for the NBA.

It is Jared Dubin's birthday so he took the day off and Seth Partnow filled in with Mo. We discussed Wemby's elbow and our thoughts on the repercussions, the Wolves behind Anthony Edwards' amazing fourth quarter even the series. The Knicks make it to their second conference finals in a row. Was the Sixers' season a success? We also got into the Lakers-Thunder and Pistons-Cavs series plus lottery results thoughts.

The Knicks are up 2-0 on the Sixers — without Joel Embiid, Philly still couldn't get Tyrese Maxey going, and now their season is on the brink. We break down what went wrong and what adjustments both teams need to make in Game 3. Then the Spurs blew out the Timberwolves by 38 to even their series — what does it mean for Anthony Edwards and Minnesota going forward?

Then it's time for Good Takes. Wes makes the case for rigging the NBA Draft Lottery to solve tanking once and for all, Mike counters with his take on the Wolves, and the And-1 bonus take is on the table.

We close the show with our Summer 3-Way: a 3-point checklist to fix the Denver Nuggets this offseason — including paying Peyton Watson, a bold three-team trade involving Jamal Murray, and why Cam Thomas might be the missing piece.
