Road Trippin: Richard Vs. Channing

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew jumps into several early season headlines, including the MVP chatter picking up around Devin Booker, Jayson Tatum & Luka Doncic. The game is in good hands with plenty of captivating young superstars, but who will take the next step and carry their team to a title? We also discuss the Warriors' ability to come out of the West and repeat, if the Clippers can salvage this season and if the Mavericks can break through to reach an NBA Finals with Luka playing his current role.

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew is joined by Candace Parker of the Chicago Sky. "The GOATess" (as Channing rightfully calls her) speaks to aging within the sport and how she'll adapt her game when those legendary skills start to decline. As for what her body's telling her ahead of coming back for a 16th WNBA season, Candace tells us, "I plan to play." Candace addresses the ongoing Britney Griner situation, which really hits home for her...having played in Russian Leagues for five years and marrying a Russian. She gets into just how scary things are for Britney & her family and how we all need to stay persistent in pushing out messages calling for her release. Have a question or topic for our next show?

We have to talk about the surging Celtics, whose players are pulling together and growing up fast with a new head coach. The guys also make a case for the Blazers hanging around in the West, and discuss Luka's golden opportunity to snatch a scoring title and build on his legacy this season.

On this edition of Road Trippin', the crew is joined by ESPN's Senior NBA Writer Zach Lowe. We begin by recapping a terrible week for Nets, both on and off the court where the organization and its players can't seem to get out of their own way. Did Kyrie Irving single-handedly delay their hiring of Ime Udoka? Zach joins the show to explain his controversial new article, where he asks, "Would Draymond Green would be a Hall of Famer if he didn't play alongside Steph Curry & Klay Thompson?" The guys bounce around the league to get the pulse of the early NBA season. Is Russell Westbrook coming off the bench a band-aid for the Lakers? Can the Clippers stay relevant if Kawhi Leonard keeps getting injured? Is the K.A.T. & Rudy Gobert combo too much size for the T'Wolves? Are the Cavs ahead of schedule to make a deep playoff run?
