6/26/202649 min
Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim MacMahon and Vince Goodwill to react to the Hornets moving quickly on a deal to send LaMelo Ball to the Wolves for a haul of assets. The guys debate who won the trade, what this means for Charlotte and if Minnesota can contend with Anthony Edwards and LaMelo Ball as their star duo. Then, the guys break down the drama surrounding Blazers' hiring of Micah Nori including the coaches who have been angered by the deal that some have found to be disrespectful. Then, we talk about Austin Reaves' huge contract with the Lakers and if that may force a big move from the Pistons. Finally, will we see the Clippers move Kawhi this offseason and why that is a huge point of emphasis around the league.
