Kevin Durant Debuts for Phoenix! Russ's Clippers 0-4 start! Also, Pistons and Hornets Rebuild Deep Dives!

James Edwards joins the show today, and we dive into four topics. First, we're going to talk about Russell Westbrook's inauspicious first four games with the Clippers, where things haven't exactly been great. Then, we're going to talk about Kevin Durant, his debut for the Phoenix Suns, and some of the silly narratives floating around about his career and how it'll be successful. Then, we're going to dive into the Charlotte Hornets, a rebuilding team now without its star, LaMelo Ball, for the rest of the year. What does this organization do moving forward? Finally, we dive into the Detroit Pistons, a team also mired in a rebuild without its key building block, Cade Cunningham. Are the Pistons in a strong position? Why does Troy Weaver so value his bigs? What's going on here? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
