On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by taking Jalen Rose to task for voting Kyrie Irving to the All-NBA team.

Barring something catastrophic, it's going to be a showdown between the Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics. Can't wait! Later, NBA.com scribe and FOX Sports Radio NBA insider Mark Medina swings by to discuss the current status and future outlook of several high-profile superstars, including which teams might break the bank for Deandre Ayton, the likelihood that Zach LaVine returns to the Chicago Bulls, how the Philadelphia 76ers can 'fix' James Harden, why the Brooklyn Nets are unwilling to offer Kyrie a max contract extension, what it might take for the Los Angeles Lakers to unload Russell Westbrook, and more!
