Dunc'd On: Marc Stein on the Summer; Love Extended; DEN-IND Summer League Review

Jul 26, 2018 12:04 AM

Click to subscribe via RSS feed or iTunes.

Marc Stein of the New York Times joins up to discuss the offseason that was. Why did the Spurs trade Kawhi to the Raptors, and what other offers were out there? Could the Lakers or Sixers have gotten Kawhi by offering more, or were the Spurs simply uninterested in future-focused packages? We also discuss DeMarcus Cousins signing with the Warriors and his market on July 1, why so many one-year deals were agreed to, the Melo/Schroder trade, and much more.

Then it's Danny to hit on Kevin Love's extension, the rest of the news, and summer prospect review for DEN thru IND (skipping DET, which is one of Liam's teams.)
