On today’s episode, Jason and Producer Rob G engage in a spirited debate about whether or not the addition of Kyrie Irving would be enough to vault the Los Angeles Lakers into title contention. On one hand, Kyrie’s career has been in a downward spiral ever since he left LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2017. On the other, is it fair to say that Kyrie, LeBron and Anthony Davis would easily form the talented trio in the NBA? Both guys make salient points here so we’ll let you be the judge to determine who had the winning argument. Plus, J-Mac reacts to the reports that Golden State Warriors are interested in bringing Kevin Durant back to The Bay now that he’s available for trade. As cool as it sounds that the Greatest Team in NBA history (KD, Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green) might link up yet again, the fact remains that a reunion is nothing more than pipedream; There is no way Durant returns to Golden State, especially after they won the title without him. Finally, Jason closes the show by sharing the details of a private Instagram conversation he had with Durant in which the pair went back and forth over KD’s motivations moving forward.
