Gil's Arena Reacts To Kawhi Leonard Leaving Team USA
Gil's Arena Reacts To Kawhi Leonard Ditching Team USA as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew discuss Kawhi leaving Team USA to focus on preparing for the upcoming NBA Season and debate if Derrick White was the right person to take his spot over guys like Jaylen Brown & Kyrie Irving. Next, they discuss Ja Morant finally being cleared to play from his season ending shoulder injury and break down how Ja's return along with the addition of Zach Edey sets the Memphis Grizzlies up for a big bounce back season in the NBA's Western Conference. Then, they react to Kevin Durant shutting down trade rumors surrounding a potential departure from the Phoenix Suns and discuss the current state of the Miami Heat, as the once strong culture has spent another offseason not making moves around Jimmy Butler and losing role players like Caleb Martin due to not having a winning culture. Finally, the crew ranks their top 6 teams in the Western Conference for 2025 in a new Paper Champs segment. Please give us a Like & Subscribe!!!
