With the official opening of the NBA free agency period rapidly approaching, the glaring focus of the media’s attention has been on LeBron James decision to stay in Cleveland or leave to form a superteam to compete with the Warriors.
Today, The Big Lead founder Jason McIntyre joined the show and looked ahead to the 2019 offseason, and the possibility of an all-star combo that could join forces in New York, and not for the Knicks.
J-Mac explained to Colin why there’s a real possibility that Kyrie Irving and Jimmy Butler teaming up with the Nets, next year. He pointed out that the Nets will have room to sign two max players, and Irving and Butler are close friends off the court, and played together with Team USA. Stay tuned.
