Jonathan Abrams, New York Times bestselling author and longtime NBA reporter, joins Tayler and Justin to discuss his upcoming book, "When We Were Young and Fearless," exploring the biggest what-if in Thunder history: the breakup of Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook, and James Harden. We dig into the inside story of the Harden trade, the infamous Tyson Chandler deal that never happened, Sam Presti’s evolution, and the parallels between the original Thunder core and today’s team. Plus, we play a game of KD, Russ, or Harden? and debate what might have been if the trio had stayed together. "When We Were Young and Fearless" arrives on November 3.

Justin and Jacob look at the current state of the Thunder and all of the injuries plaguing the start of the season. How does the shortened rotation and depth of this team respond in light of the injuries? What did we learn about *this* iteration of the Thunder from the Mavericks game and what are realistic expectations looking ahead? Then we look at what a potential trade could look like and how big of a swing OKC should be looking to take. Then we react live to some new reporting on Chet Holmgren's injury situation and discuss what further impacts it could have.
