Verno and KOC begin the show by discussing the 76ers after KOC attended their media day (01:35). He shares his excitement to see a full season of Joel Embiid and James Harden playing together, and Verno asks if this is the year Embiid becomes the best player in the league. The guys move on to teams that are carrying the most drama right now in the Suns, Nets, and Celtics (10:54). They debate whether the Suns are making a mistake with Jae Crowder, and discuss Ben Simmons’s interview on The Old Man and the Three. Also, will this be the year that Russell Westbrook learns to adapt? And KOC gets a Peloton (47:37).
