Blockbuster NBA offseason shakes the league: Giannis lands in Miami, Jaylen Brown joins the 76ers, and Kawhi Leonard exits the Clippers.

Which retooled teams are poised for a breakout, and who’s set for a slide after losing superstar power?

Haize & Swipabreak down the winners and losers of the summer, spotlighting major moves by the Lakers, Hawks, Raptors, Jazz, and Spurs, and debating whether the Bucks or Clippers suffered the biggest setback. The hosts spotlight statistical leaps to watch—will Austin Reaves and Coby White become breakout stars?
