Listen to the latest episode of No Cap Room, where Yahoo Sports senior NBA reporter Jake Fischer and Yahoo Sports senior NBA writer Dan Devine cover all the latest basketball news.
They kick things off with Team USA’s impressive 3-0 record in pre-Olympic tune-up games. Dan highlights the strength of the team’s bench, while Jake questions if anyone can rival the duo of LeBron James & Steph Curry.
The duo also delves into Kyrie Irving undergoing surgery for his broken hand, Gary Trent Jr. joining the Milwaukee Bucks (thanks to Damian Lillard’s recruiting efforts), and the Denver Nuggets’ search for a backup point guard.
Jake & Dan also discuss Knicks owner James Dolan’s letter to the NBA’s Board of Governors regarding revenue sharing and the new TV deal that will showcase more popular NBA games on national television.
Although Adam Silver’s recent press conference hinted at less optimism for NBA expansion, the hosts play a fun game where they select a city for an expansion team, give it a name, and propose a minority owner to attract local fans.
Post-break, Jake shares insights from his time at the Las Vegas Summer League, including growing frustration over certain aspects of the current CBA that could lead to renegotiation between players and owners.
The episode wraps up with a review of the four players the hosts were keeping an eye on during Summer League, with some mixed results.
