On this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, we prepare for the start of the 2024-2025 NBA season by joining guest co-host Legend of Winning to make predictions about what will happen this season.
Listen in to find out why the guys think the Magic will overachieve, the Bucks will underperform, and why the Knicks’ big offseason moves might be overrated (if they can’t stay healthy).
KOC adds a prediction on league-wide 3-point shooting numbers and explains why he thinks De’Aaron Fox could be the hottest trade target as the deadline approaches. Meanwhile, LOW has some questions about what the Rockets are doing and has a theory that ends with James Harden and Kevin Durant in Houston.
In the mailbag segment, KOC picks a contender who will be out of the playoff race, explains who he thinks will be the most important center on the Suns roster and predicts a trade to the Denver Nuggets.
Finally, Lakers first-round rookie Dalton Knecht joins the show to talk about life under the Los Angeles spotlight (especially around LeBron James and Bronny) and using video games as an escape from the grind .
