The Pop Era Ends & Superstars on the Brink

In this week’s episode of The Baseline NBA Podcast, we dive into seismic news out of San Antonio Spurs territory: Gregg Popovich retires as head coach, closing the book on one of the most legendary careers in NBA coaching history. With Mitch Johnson tapped as his successor, we break down what this means for Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs’ rebuild, and their trajectory in the Western Conference. Then, we pivot to the major fallout from the NBA Playoffs first round, where three NBA superstars — Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, and Luka Dončić — faced early exits. What went wrong for the Milwaukee Bucks, Los Angeles Clippers, and Dallas Mavericks? Will these teams bounce back or break apart this offseason? We unpack the looming questions around:

• Potential NBA trades and free agency decisions
• Coaching changes and front office moves
• Each superstar’s path forward: stay or go?

This is a must-listen for fans tracking NBA playoff analysis, offseason rumors, and franchise-shifting moves. Subscribe, rate, and tap in with The Baseline NBA Podcast — where every headline gets broken down, every star gets scrutinized, and the NBA storylines come alive.
