Most NBA podcasts are too long. The idea of this one is that we will be into and out of an issue within 10 minutes. In this respect, the structure will be loose, and the ad-hoc release dates definitely will. Hence the name. But this does not mean we won't hit on some analytical depth along the way. Thanks for listening!

episode 5: #5 - Ayo Dosunmu and the threat of the Arenas Provision
Across successive NBA Collective Bargaining Agreements, instruments have been put in place to protect teams against the threat of losing their best young talents to free agency, theoretically correcting a situation brought about by years of travel in the opposite direction.
Restricted free agency is an imperfect tool, though, and there does still exist a pathway through which young players can up sticks and leave careless teams. And the Chicago Bulls might be about to have this problem with guard Ayo Dosunmu.
This podcast looks at the history and parameters of what is known as the "Arenas Provision", the ramifications thereof, and shoehorns in a reference to Derrick White for good measure. It gets a bit arcane. Be warned.
