Wembanyama's Unconventional Contract

Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro's Physical

Wrapping Up and Next Episode Teaser

Joy Taylor breaks down why the reported Kawhi Leonard trade between the Clippers and Raptors is suddenly on hold as the NBA’s ongoing investigation into the Clippers’ marketing deal continues, raising questions about timing, risk, and what penalties could mean for both franchises.

She then reacts to Victor Wembanyama’s five-year, $250M Spurs extension—highlighting his decision to take 25% of the cap instead of a 30% supermax path—and uses it to critique how today’s salary-cap structure pressures stars to sacrifice earnings for roster flexibility. 

From Las Vegas Summer League, she also addresses the viral Miami Heat “Smack Gate” report involving Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, sparked by social-media comments after Herro’s departure.
