We empty the mailbag in this free-agent edition of the podcast.

It’s been a while since we’ve answered your questions, so we spent the latest episode of the Limited Upside podcast emptying our mailbag. Topics include:
- Which move this summer will have the biggest impact in shifting the league’s balance of power?
- How will Mike D’Antoni make the Chris Paul / James Harden pairing in Houston work? What kind of complications will adding Carmelo Anthony (if the trade happens) create?
- What do we make of the Pistons trading for Avery Bradley and jettisoning Kentavious Caldwell-Pope? Which of these three is most valuable: Bradley, KCP, or Gary Harris? (Note: We recorded this before KCP signed a 1-year deal with the Lakers).
- Will the Suns trade Eric Bledsoe? Who should try to get him if so?
- How confident are we that the Pelicans figure the DeMarcus Cousins / Anthony Davis pairing out? (Spoiler alert: not very confident).
- Should the NBA re-seed the playoffs 1-16 instead of having conferences? How feasible is Tom Ziller’s five-region plan?
- Who makes next year’s East All-Star team?
- Let’s imagine a world where teams could trade assets to switch conferences. How much would these mid-tier West teams give up to move to the East?
We’ll have one more podcast next week, then we’ll take a short break and begin in earnest with the second annual edition of our 2017-18 team-by-team previews with members of the SB Nation NBA family. Stay tuned for those.
