The guys start the show talking about Nicolas Claxton’s recent injury news and what it means for the second-year big. They discuss what tendinopathy in knee means as well as his timetable for return. Even with the injury, it’s hard to see a path for Claxton seeing a bunch of minutes this season. 

Then they discuss James Harden continuing to hold out from Rockets training camp. They discuss the trade landscape and where the Nets stand in that process. And then, based on some of Doug’s projected win totals, the take a look at a surprise (in a bad way) team that could be part of the trade.
