Jon Krawczynski of the Athletic and the Jon Krawczynski Show is our guest to look ahead to the Wolves' season as they look to build on back to back Conference Finals runs. How much will they miss NAW, and which of the young guys can step up?

Nate Duncan is the player agent, while Danny Leroux and Dan Feldman play the teams. We break down the current state of league trends as they relate to these extensions, and then get on with a rollicking good time negotiating the extensions. ⁠Full Daily Duncs with links⁠⁠ Olivier-Maxence Prosper P.J.

Brad Rowland of Locked on Hawks kicks off our Season Outlook series on all 30 teams. Topics as we look ahead to an exciting season in Atlanta: What can we take away from last year's team? How will Kristaps Porzingis and Nickeil Alexander-Walker fit in? Was Trae Young's down year a concern? What do we expect now with more pieces around him? How will Zaccharie Risacher look to improve in year 2? Can we expect Dyson Daniels and Onyeka Okongwu to build on last year? How should Quin Snyder use Kristaps Porzingis in his limited minutes, staggered from Trae Young or to help him? Will any young players emerge in the rotation this year? And finally, our predictions for this Hawks season.
