NBA Trade Talks: JDubs 40 Bomb, OKCs Takeover, Banes Orlando Move, Jas Future, and KDs Trade List
The Kevin O'Connor Show is back with a fresh episode, offering their instant reaction to the latest developments in the NBA. The show starts with a discussion on the 2025 NBA Finals Game 5, where Jalen Williams helped the Oklahoma City Thunder grab a 3-2 lead over the Indiana Pacers. KOC predicts a blowout victory for the Thunder in the series, explaining his reasoning behind the prediction. The hosts then react to the Desmond Bane trade that sent him to the Orlando Magic, and whether it was an overbuy or not. On the Grizzlies side of things, Kevin stands his ground on his take that Ja Morant is a "good, not great" NBA player, and provides a list of players he considers to be ahead of Ja. The show also covers the latest Kevin Durant trade rumors and some NBA Draft chatter. The episode is anchored by a photo of Jalen Williams #8 of the Oklahoma City Thunder celebrating during the third quarter against the Indiana Pacers in Game Five of the 2025 NBA Finals at Paycom Center on June 16, 2025 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
