NBL: Tribute to Andrew Bogut & our first NBL season preview - a podcast by Seb Greenway & Karl Beston

The Beston & Greenway NBL Podcast returns as Sebastian Greenway and Karl Beston discuss:

- Paying tribute to Australian basketball legend Andrew Bogut after he announced his retirement this week. How Bogut made the NBL relevant again and his legacy.
- The NBL announces its schedule and why we have always said they made the right decision in delaying the start date.
- Bill Simmons calling the NBL a “garbage league” and how it highlights the dangers of branding yourself as the NBA’s little brother.
- Hopson signs with Melbourne United and rumours of Landale too. Are United the title favourites? What is Jock Landale’s ceiling in the NBL?
- NZ Breakers will be based in Melbourne and why every Melburnian who doesn’t have an NBL team should adopt them this season. Can the Breakers win the title staying away from home? Are they still title favourites?
- Are we underestimating the Perth Wildcats? Why those who say that are underestimating Nick Kay. What will the Cats lineups and rotations look like?
- Will Weaver and JaeSean Tate sign with the Rockets. Is there a danger in hiring/signing coaches and players whose ultimate goal is the NBA?
- The Kings sign credentialed NBA player Jarell Martin. Why the Kings are still a Top 4 team despite their recent personnel losses.
- The Cairns Taipans retain Machado and Olive, an incredible result for the regional team and the league. However, we explain why the rule allowing only 2 imports hurts them more than other teams.
- The success of the Brisbane Bullets imports will ultimately decide their fate this season. What to expect from Orlando Johnson.
- Adelaide 36ers sign Crocker and Sloan in a move to surround Giddey with experience. However, have they applied their resources in the right places?
- Rumours are flying around about the South East Melbourne Phoenix signing a superstar guard import. Can that push them towards a Top 4 spot? How should their lineup and rotations look?
- The Hawks may regain their Illawarra name and have done everything right off the court signing Goorjian and having an accomplished ownership group. What can they produce on the court?
