In this episode of The Kevin O’Connor Show, we prepare for the start of the 2024-25 NBA season by making predictions about what will happen this season alongside guest co-host Legend of Winning.
Listen to find out why guys think the Magic will overperform, the Bucks will underperform, and why the Knicks’ big offseason moves might be overrated (if they can’t stay healthy).
KOC adds a prediction on three-point shooting rates across the league and explains why he thinks De’Aaron Fox could be the hottest trade target come the deadline. Meanwhile, LOW has some questions about what the Rockets are doing and has a theory that ends with James Harden and Kevin Durant in Houston.
In the mailbag segment, KOC picks a contender who will fall out of the playoff race, explains who he thinks will be the most important center on the Suns roster, and predicts a trade for the Denver Nuggets.
Finally, Lakers first-round rookie Dalton Knecht joins the show to talk about life under the Los Angeles spotlight (especially around LeBron James and Bronny) and using video games as an escape from the routine.
