Introducing Trolling The Paint and Offseason Storylines
Lavar League, Pellies, MIN/OKC
Lavar Ball wants to start a league that will allow high school graduates to bypass the NCAA, get paid, and spend a year under the Youth Basketball Association preparing for the NBA Draft. Can this plan work? Will there ever be a alternative route to the NBA besides the NCAA and international play?
Then we get into Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. Davis just wants to win, but will that be in New Orleans? We discuss what is the best thing not only for Davis but for DeMarcus Cousins to do as well for their futures.
Afterward, we talk about the Wolves and Thunder, two disappointments so far this year that may be on the upswing now. Will they turn it around and finish strong or do major changes need to happen?
