  • Fighting

    Could you spend time discussing what role the lack of fouls called plays in NBA fights?

    Watching the Spurs play the Warriors last night it was obvious the dubs were going to hack on every play and dare refs to call fouls. This led to anger from Wemby and Fox. I was expecting either of them to throw a punch. No one wants to see this.

  • Defense

    Full court pressure is great. Out and out hachet fouls ala OKC is unethical. They are actively trying to hurt people. Look what they do to Wemby. That is bad for the beautiful game.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag! Summer League standouts, LeBron's best fit, Wemby's contract and more | The Kevin O'Connor Show
Q: Where is LeBron most likely to end up, if anywhere?
The Minnesota Timberwolves are presented as the most obvious fit on paper due to the surrounding talent, though personal preferences and living considerations could influence the final destination.
Mailbag! Summer League standouts, LeBron's best fit, Wemby's contract and more | The Kevin O'Connor Show
Q: Is the Wembanyama discount a coming trend or an exception?
The host views Wembanyama's discount as a smart, generational-wealth move for the Spurs and references Jalen Brunson as a precedent, but he doubts it will immediately become a broad trend without more players following suit.
Mailbag! Summer League standouts, LeBron's best fit, Wemby's contract and more | The Kevin O'Connor Show
Q: What is the ceiling for Braden Burris?
Burris has a high floor as a versatile, high IQ guard who can cut, screen, defend, and crash the boards; the ceiling could be higher due to his jumper development and ability to function as a three-level scorer, potentially becoming one of the top guards in this Summer League.
Waiting on LeBron, Philly’s upside & Harden in limbo + more offseason updates with Tom Haberstroh | The Kevin O'Connor Show
Q: From CD on Thread, was trading for Harden a mistake if LeBron doesn't join Cleveland?
Tom Haberstroh suggests that while Harden's move did not pan out as a guaranteed path to a LeBron reunion, the Cavaliers' long-term fit and health considerations complicate whether the Harden trade was a net negative or a calculated risk.
NBA young team survey + fantasy basketball sleepers with Corey Tulaba, Albert Ghim & Dan Titus | The Kevin O'Connor Show
Q: Who is the under-25 player no one talks about enough?
The group highlights Jalen Williams for OKC as a prime example of a young player whose impact can grow as injuries and development allow more responsibility, potentially becoming a core piece for the team and a sleeper in fantasy contexts.
