The Mismatch
The Players We Can’t Wait to See on New Teams. Plus, Which Star Will Finally Get a Ring?
About the episode
Verno and Jacoby return to go through the players they are most looking forward to seeing in action with a new team. They break it all down by each selecting a star, a role player, a once-upon-a-time star, and an “I still believe in them” player. Then they discuss which star is most likely to win their first championship, which small offseason move will net the biggest result, and which scandal they care about the most going into the season. Also, they briefly discuss some of the recent signings around the league, the Wolves’ ownership change, and Shaedon Sharpe’s injury.
