In June 2009, us NBA bloggers did a podcast to talk about Blogs With Balls. I mentioned that it wasn't going to be a one-shot deal. We were then known as the Flagrant 5.

Well, the roster expanded. The sausage... fest grew and we were up to EIGHT DUDES. Our name was then changed to the 8th Seed.

We are now down to a regular 7-man crew with Adam Best from FanSided leaving us a few months ago. An eighth spot is left open for guest spots. In this month, we got Kelly Dwyer from the world-famous Ball Don't Lie blog of Yahoo! Sports.

I ATTEMPTED to host this episode but technology failed me. So Jeff Garcia was kind enough to take over as host. We break down the long-awaited free agency period, the NBA Draft, and the coaching/front office changes that have been made so far.

TEASERS
REY: "John Karalis from Red's Army! My best friend! What's up?"
JOHN: "What's up, you mother...? I'm not talking to you. I'm not talking to you."

ZACH: "I got a quick 2-part question for Kelly that's kinda related to this whole thing. 1) Is it true that you are actually a robot and not a real person?"

KELLY: "It's a fun time, isn't it, guys? With nothing that can be relied upon and no source that we can trust!"

GLENN: "I really hate Brian Shaw right now."
