In this episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we break down the biggest stories shaping the league, beginning with the Dallas Mavericks making major front office moves by hiring Masai Ujiri as President and Alternate Governor and naming Mike Schmitz General Manager. What does this mean for the Mavericks’ long-term vision and roster direction?
We also discuss Steve Kerr becoming the NBA’s highest-paid coach as the Golden State Warriors reportedly prepare to extend Stephen Curry and aggressively pursue another star this offseason. Then we react to the 2026 NBA Draft Lottery, where the Washington Wizards landed the No. 1 overall pick for the first time since selecting John Wall in 2010.
We discuss the lottery winners and losers, including the surprising jumps by the Bulls and Grizzlies and how the Clippers quietly came away with a massive win. Finally, we open up The Autopsy Report on the Philadelphia 76ers, breaking down the coaching concerns, roster flaws, and intangibles that continue to cloud the franchise’s future after another disappointing season.
