Craig welcomes on Jerry Brewer of The Washington Post to discuss his latest column, “The NBA will have another new champion. Get used to it.” They explore how the NBA's new financial structure has ushered in an era of unprecedented parity, leading to a seventh consecutive season with a different champion. Brewer highlights the youth and inexperience of the current conference finalists—teams like the Knicks, Pacers, Thunder, and Timberwolves—none of which have won a title in decades, if at all. They delve into how the league's collective bargaining agreement has curtailed the formation of dynasties by imposing stricter luxury tax penalties and roster-building restrictions.

Craig and Jerry discuss whether this shift is beneficial for the league and what it means for the future of NBA team-building.
