KOC and Jack Simone both grew up in Boston, so naturally both were stunned to see the Marcus Smart/Lakers news! Don't miss their reasoning for why they think it was a great move by the Lakers. Both think this move could unlock PEAK Luka Doncic -- is he primed for his 1st ever MVP season in the NBA?

Then Kevin and Simone recap a wild Summer League: which rookie impressed them the most, which Year 2 player left the best mark in Vegas -- and conversely which players disappointed?

Then, KOC is joined by Es Baraheni at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas to break down the performances of the league’s newest stars including Carter Bryant, Dylan Harper, Yang Hansen & more. Plus, what can we REALLY expect from the Toronto Raptors this season?
