Summary
Colin Cowherd assesses the state of the Lakers after a 3rd straight loss and why it’s become crystal clear the LeBron James and Luka Doncic pairing is not going to deliver the championships LA fans expected.
He credits the Cowboys for their offense-first mindset but does question Jerry Jones consistently overpaying for players every offseason.
Plus, Timberwolves head coach Chris Finch joins the show discuss his relationship with superstar Anthony Edwards and who should be the MVP of the NBA this season.
