Madeline and Charlotte are thrilled to welcome The Athletic’s Fred Katz to the show. Fred is a senior NBA writer who loves to gab, and the gals really were not ready for the amount of information he dropped on them in the first ten minutes. They start out talking about the Knicks — namely, why Josh Hart is living the dream of every seven-year-old who wants to be an NBA player. Plus: the vibes on that team, why Mitchell Robinson is such a character, and if New York can win it all this year. The Oklahoma City Thunder are coming off a title year, and Fred tells the gals about the time that former Thunder star Steven Adams ate 20 fish heads. Is LeBron going to retire? Probably not! Are we idiots? Yes, according to Lakers head coach JJ Redick. Did Mavericks GM Nico Harrison dodge a bullet by drafting Cooper Flagg after letting Luka Doncic go to LA? Does Cooper have a ton of pressure on him? Is Spurs star Victor Wembanyama single-handedly saving reading? And, finally, how is the league responding to the allegations against Clippers owner Steve Ballmer and star Kawhi Leonard? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
