Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex debate if Coco Gauff is the next women's tennis star and discuss the blockbuster Kawhi Leonard trade that has unexpectedly been put on hold.

Coco Gauff was eliminated in the Wimbledon semifinals after a heartbreaking loss to Karolína Muchová. Gauff rallied after dropping the first set and held a match point in the deciding 10-point tiebreak, but Muchová saved it and went on to win 6-2, 1-6, 7-6 (12-10). The victory sends Muchová to her first Wimbledon final, while Gauff said afterward she had "no regrets" despite the missed opportunity. Is Coco Gauff the next star in women's tennis or is there someone else? Will we ever see another star like Serena Williams?

The Los Angeles Clippers and Toronto Raptors seemingly agreed to a deal that would send Leonard back to Toronto in exchange for Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick and multiple future draft picks. However, the NBA has delayed final approval while it completes an investigation into allegations that the Clippers may have violated salary cap rules through Leonard's endorsement agreement with the now-defunct company Aspiration. The NBA informed the Raptors that if the trade were completed while the probe was active, Toronto would inherit the risk of any punishment resulting from the investigation (which could include voiding contracts, fines, or loss of draft picks). Will this trade happen?

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown and speculate if we will ever know the truth behind the move.

Jaylen Brown was traded from the Boston Celtics to the Philadelphia 76ers on July 1, 2026 in a blockbuster trade, which became official on July 6. The trade sent Brown to Philadelphia in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks, giving Boston more financial flexibility and additional assets to reshape its roster for the future. Celtics president Brad Stevens said recently in a press conference, that the team's decision to trade Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers was driven by the need for greater salary cap flexibility rather than dissatisfaction with Brown as a player. Celtics owner Bill Chisholm echoed those sentiments, saying the move was about positioning the franchise for long-term success rather than cutting costs. Do you believe Brad Stevens and Bill Chisholm? Will we ever know the truth about the Jaylen Brown trade?
