On this episode of the Kevin O’Connor Show, Tom Haberstroh continues to discuss the instant classic between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder and of course the latest trade rumors as we get closer to the deadline. Kevin and Tom both agree after Wednesday night’s win that the Cleveland Cavaliers are bona fide NBA title contenders. KOC points out that the Cavs are full of unsung heroes like Ty Jerome and Dean Wade. They know the match might not be the sexiest when it comes to TV ratings, but who cares! They both want these two teams to face each other again in June and luckily for the fans, these two teams will face each other again next week (if only Chet Holmgren was healthy!)
The guys have reduced the chances of the New Orleans Pelicans actually moving Zion Williamson now that he’s back in the lineup and looking great. Tom’s idea: Why wouldn’t the Spurs play for Zion? The pairing of Williamson and Wemby might be the modern equivalent of Shaq-Kobe when it comes to unstoppable duos. The trade chatter didn’t stop there, with each of the guys offering their thoughts on where Bradley Beal and Jimmy Butler could end up as well. While Golden State Warriors fans wish Steph Curry would get some help, the guys explain why GSW might be patient. And speaking of “Pat,” Riley and the Miami Heat might be better off for Cooper Flagg right now. Fresh off Tom attending Duke’s last game, Tom and Kevin discuss the ultra-talented 18-year-old.
