About this episode

Welcome to another episode of The Old Man and The Three Things. This week on OM3 Things, we welcome in Steve Jones and Nekias Duncan of The Dunker Spot to talk about our big week 2 takeaways. First up, Nekias talks about "The Scottie Leap" and what he's seen from Scottie Barnes that's made him optimistic about this season for him and the Toronto Raptors. Then Steve opens up a discussion about the Milwaukee Bucks poor defense this season due to the Jrue Holiday / Damian Lillard trade. And finally JJ Redick talks about the kind of player he'd like to see The Philadelphia 76ers trade for to pair with Joel Embiid and Tyrese Maxey. Spoiler - it's not a superstar.
