Kevin O’Connor asks Es Baraheni if he's gone ‘too far or not far enough,' as they break down if the Atlanta Hawks are better without Trae Young, if the Rockets are truly the best offense in the NBA and whether Lauri Markkanen is worth five first-round picks. Plus, will LeBron's return to the reshaped Lakers be clunky?
Next, they share some early-season overreactions, including whether the Nuggets have the best defense of the Nikola Jokic era, if Scottie Barnes is an All-Star and whether the 76ers are now Tyrese Maxey’s team?
