Gil's Arena Reacts To Tatum & Mitchell's MEGA NBA Deals

Gil's Arena Reacts To Jayson Tatum's MEGA NBA Deal as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew break down Tatum signing the largest contract in NBA History following the Boston Celtics' NBA Championship and discuss what it means for the future of the NBA now that the C's have their entire starting lineup locked up for the foreseeable future. They also react to Chris Paul signing with the San Antonio Spurs in NBA free agency and analyze how pairing the future Hall of Fame Point God with Victor Wembanyama is a slam dunk for Wemby's on court development with the young Spurs squad. Finally, they react to other free agent signings across the NBA and break down Donovan Mitchell's decision to remain with the Cleveland Cavaliers on a huge extension before giving a break down on the state of the Miami Heat as the perennial contenders have been quiet so far this offseason and are at risk of losing their star in Jimmy Butler as he opted to not sign an extension and bet on himself this season.
