Logan Murdock and Raja Bell are back with another edition of Real Ones and get right into the Lakers being eliminated by the Oklahoma City Thunder and what’s next for LeBron James as he heads into free agency. How should we look back on the season that LeBron had? Where should he head next? What is it going to take to beat a Thunder team that seems to be unstoppable? Should Victor Wembanyama have been suspended for elbowing Naz Reid? Are the Wolves not getting the respect they deserve? Do the Cavaliers have the Pistons figured out?
