Thunder Shake-Up: Lu Dort Trade Fallout, Mavs Land Risacher & NBA Free Agency’s Biggest Names

The Baseline NBA Podcast breaks down the Thunder–Hawks–Mavs blockbuster trade that sent Lu Dort to Atlanta, Zaccharie Risacher to Dallas, and added even more draft capital to Oklahoma City’s massive offseason haul. We dig into how OKC’s $224M payroll reset reshapes their roster, what Risacher brings to the Mavericks, and how Atlanta pivots with Dort and Ryan Nembhard.

We also run through the best NBA free agents still available, including LeBron James, Draymond Green, DeMar DeRozan, Bradley Beal, Jonathan Kuminga, Bennedict Mathurin, and more. Who can shift the market, who fits where, and which teams are positioned to strike next.

A fast, sharp, and fully loaded look at the NBA offseason’s biggest moves and biggest names. Become a supporter of this podcast: .
