## Resource

On this episode Mike & Jason talk about the rookie class performances in the NBA Summer League. Maleek Thomas of the Cavs has been lighting it up and the top 4 of Dybansta, Peterson, Boozer, and Wilson have all shown why they were thought of as potential franchise players. Mike continues to believe that Caleb Wilson will win the ROY and emerge as the best player from this rookie class in the long run. Next, they discuss Wemby forgoing the 5% All-NBA/DPOY kicker in his max contract and the curious contract that Gary Trent Jr. signed with the Bucks. Mike and Jason wrap up by trying to figure out what will happen in the Kawhi/Clippers/Raptors saga before speculating whether there is any chance James Harden won't be on the Cavs' roster this season.
