## Resource

Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim MacMahon to react to Victor Wembanyama’s decision to give back some money on his extension to help the Spurs’ pursuit of titles. The guys break down how this could help San Antonio before talking the strong reaction against this from the NBPA and if this could be the start of a trend. Next, we discuss why the Bucks’ Gary Trent Jr. contract is getting an interesting response around the league. Then, we tackle the Bam Adebayo & Tyler Herro altercation including the back and forth with Udonis Haslem & Draymond Green. Finally, we discuss some of the biggest standouts from the NBA Summer League so far. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
