The Atlantic Files #163: Fred VanVleet Has Options

This week on The Atlantic Files:

The NBA off-season is here and the draft and free agency are about to come into full swing. More coaching positions have been filled as well. So it’s time to predict some landings and talk about who might have the biggest impact.

A handful of teams have filled their vacant coaching positions, most of them being playoff teams. So who’s going to make the biggest impact for their new team? Tyronn Lue is a strong candidate with the Clippers, but so are Doc Rivers and Billy Donovan for the Sixers and Bulls respectively.

Then comes free agency with some big name guys all looking for contracts. Some of them, like Anthony Davis and Brandon Ingram, seem to already know where they will land but are just waiting for a big contract. Others, like Fred VanVleet, could get some interest from tons of teams around the league as well as the Raptors.

Christian Wood and Jerami Grant represent the young group of guys that could be in for a nice payday. So where will these guys land?

That and more on the latest episode below!

Being from the suburbs of Philadelphia, it was hard not to become a Sixers fan during Allen Iverson's prime. Other than just the Sixers, I enjoy watching all forms and levels of basketball, especially the WNBA. Outside of basketball, I've been playing and coaching volleyball for most of my life. Also, after graduating from the University of Pittsburgh, I became a Software Developer by day, while writing and hosting podcasts by night.
