Description

The first half of the NBA schedule was released and it looks a little different than a typical NBA schedule. There are much longer home stands and road stretches. It is also much more common to play the same team twice in a row in the same arena. The Utah Jazz will open the season on the 23rd against the Portland Trailblazers.   We also go over the John Wall for Russell Westbrook trade and talk about Russell Westbrook's future in the league. Did the Houston Rockets win the trade? Will James Harden request a trade? Should the Rockets have traded James Harden instead of Chris Paul? The trade left a lot of question marks but it sure makes for good NBA drama. We finish up by going over how different championships impact a player's legacy.  Does Dwight Howard's ring not matter as much just because he was a role player? Do Kevin Durant's rings matter as much even though he was the best player on the team?
