They then break down recent NBA news including Herb Jones’ extension in New Orleans, the mechanics behind Jaren Jackson Jr.’s renegotiation in Memphis. The duo also surveys the restricted free agent market for players like Jonathan Kuminga and Josh Giddey, and closes with a round of WATFOs for the coming season.
