Howard is joined by the legend Raja Bell to talk predictions! With the NBA Cup final approaching, they give predictions and talk about what being in the final tells them about the Bucks and Thunder (7:00). After, they talk about the potential impacts from the Schröder trade (26:20), and give their forecasts on the unofficial start of the trade season and the players they’d like to see dealt (38:20). Then, they end the show with a mailbag about the winner mentality and the difference between offense in football and in basketball (46:45).
