Austin and Pausha are back to share their final summer thoughts from the offseason and kick things off by trying to figure out what exactly the Cleveland Cavaliers’ plan is with their current roster construction (9:22). Then, they break down the Knicks’ approach to next season with an emphasis on Julius Randle (14:58), discuss Luka’s legacy if he never receives an MVP (30:12), and then rank the top cores in the league, before answering whether or not they would trade Chet Holmgren for Cooper Flagg (42:53). Later, Austin wraps up with his theory about the league’s approach to young vs. veteran players (1:01:59), and Pausha shares his missed opportunity with The New York Times (1:18:19).
