ESPN’s NBA reporter Tim MacMahon joined the Cattles and Ramie Show Wednesday to discuss the latest Ja Morant news, the surprising season for the Sacramento Kings, how Domantas Sabonis has exceeded his expectations and more.

Topics discussed include:

  • The latest news that Ja Morant will remain away from the Memphis Grizzlies for at least the next four games.
  • How he mocked Marc Spears before the NBA season began because of his Sacramento Kings season prediction, but admits Marc was right and the Kings are a fun team to watch.
  • Domantas Sabonis “is a significantly better player than I gave him credit for and has been a phenomenal fit” with the Sacramento Kings.
  • Why he’s not ready to pick the Kings to make it to the Western Conference finals
  • “I can’t see them beating the Nuggets, I can’t see them beating the Warriors, and I can’t see them beating the Suns.”
