Summary

Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore and Haize debate whether the Oklahoma City Thunder can repeat as champions and if they’re on the verge of becoming the league’s next dynasty. They also break down Kevin Durant’s decision to block a trade back to the Golden State Warriors and whether that move could go down as one of the biggest mistakes of his career. Jaylen Brown recently said the Boston Celtics are entering a “new era,” and the guys discuss what that really means for Boston’s future. Finally, they take on a fun question: if you’re brand new to the NBA, which team should you root for right now?
