Summary

Verno and Jacoby recap Luka Doncic’s Laker debut and explain how Luka and LeBron can successfully coexist (00:46). Mark Williams is headed back to the Hornets after the Lakers failed his physical, but the guys debate whether the failed deal could actually be beneficial to the Lakers (08:10). They then discuss the massive amount of bad luck that Mavs have gotten since trading away Luka (22:53), and how Jimmy Butler has impacted Steph Curry and the Warriors since his arrival in the Bay Area (31:17). Next, Verno shares why he was extremely impressed by the Thunder after they blew out the Grizzlies over the weekend, as well as the disappointing free fall from the Magic (38:32). Finally, the guys applaud Hubie Brown for calling his last game at 91 years old, Jacoby shares why he’s a fan of the Clippers signing Ben Simmons, and more possible Joel Embiid excuses (54:36).
