Sports Fans Rejoice with Yahoo Sports

Get ready for an action-packed episode of the Kevin O'Connor Show! This week, we are joined by ESPN's Bobby Marks and college basketball expert John Fanta to discuss all things hoops. First, Marks offers his expert insight on whether he believes the Memphis Grizzlies may be secretly vying for Jimmy Butler. Does the denoting fact that Butler is a rental like Kawhi Leonard for the Toronto Raptors dissuade the Grizzlies from making a move? We also delve into the trade possibilities for three teams who are struggling this season - the Phoenix Suns, Minnesota Timberwolves and Golden State Warriors. Interestingly, Bobby and Kevin speculate that Draymond Green may be traded to the Dallas Mavericks or Detroit Pistons. Finally, we shift our focus to the potential trade destination for Cam Johnson. Would it be the Cleveland Cavaliers or Oklahoma City Thunder? Tune in to find out!
