In this episode of The NBA Podcast, Morten Jensen (@msjnba) and Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) discuss the imminent returns of Kyrie Irving and Klay Thompson, the Cleveland Cavaliers' response to Ricky Rubio's injury and where the Oklahoma City Thunder's rebuild stands.

Do the Nets deserve criticism for caving to Kyrie? Should they try to avoid home-court advantage if he refuses to get vaccinated? Will Klay's return make the Warriors the clear title favorites? Can Rajon Rondo help to replace Rubio? Have the Thunder made enough progress in their rebuild?

Check out the episode to hear Morten and Bryan discuss all of that and more.
