No Tim Duncan? No Dwight Howard? The Southwest division has gone through an offseason full of change, but still figures to be competitive with the additions of Chandler Parsons and Harrison Barnes, amongst others.
Austin and Dante begin the podcast with a discussion of how teams deal with locker room leadership with an emphasis of the steadiness of the Spurs and whether the Rockets get resolved without Howard. Next, they answer five burning questions about the division. Questions include “Who will be the next MVP in this conference?” and “Which contract signed this offseason will provide the biggest impact?” Finally, the wrap up with their predictions for who wins a crowded Southwest division.
