We are back in person coming to you live from the Bucketsquad studio! This week we're doing a little Washed Watch. Who's had some concerning declines over the past few years? Who needs to bounce back in a big way to prove that they still have some juice left? James and Patrick pick their Top 3 plus some honorable mentions. Then, we bring in Johnny Carmack to draft some HOBBIES. Stick around for a little Hot Streak/Shooting Slump at the end.

With the start of the 2024-25 NBA season still a couple months out, we're dreaming and scheming about everything that could be. On today's episode, we pitch a few narratives to the NBA scriptwriters. What if the Giannis comes back swinging? What if LeBron takes the Lakers to the Finals to square off the Champion Celtics for one last ring? What if the Suns blow up their superteam? We have lots of dumb ideas and speaking of...this week's Starting 5: RED THINGS. Yup. Things that are red. We draft them. Stick around for Hot Streak/Shooting Slump!

LEBRON & STEPH FOREVER

On the heels of a dominant Gold Medal win for Team USA, we can't help but feel like LeBron & Steph still have some championship juice left in the tank. How can the Lakers retool and rebuild around their existing pieces to make a run this year? And how can the Warriors do the same with Steph? James and Patrick discuss some possible paths forward. And then it's time for the long-anticipated FRUIT DRAFT. Who has the best Starting 5 of fruits? Let us know in the comments!
