The dog days of the NBA offseason have officially arrived and Irrational Deuce is back.

Deuce and Mo react to the NBA schedule release, break down the Kings' start to the season and Deuce explains why he can somehow see Sacramento starting 5-1. They also discuss whether Victor Oladipo makes sense for the Kings, the value of adding veterans to this roster and dream about what a Keegan Murray breakout season could look like.

Plus, they reflect on Russell Westbrook's incredible 18-year career, Dennis Schröder landing on his 12th team in 13 seasons, the best stories in the WNBA and why the playoffs could be special.

And because it's August, the conversation goes plenty of other places too, including Deuce's anti-Christmas Day NBA stance, irrational sports fandom, Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, what's new in their lives and Deuce reflecting on the one-year anniversary of his mom's passing.

Zach LaVine isn't going anywhere.

Deuce and Mo react to the latest reports that LaVine will remain with the Kings, discuss what they want to see from him this season and why they're feeling more optimistic about Sacramento than much of the basketball world. They also dive into the biggest questions facing the Kings with training camp just two months away and why this team could be a lot more watchable than many expect.

Plus, they shift to the WNBA to talk about the incredible season Minnesota is putting together, what makes Olivia Miles such a special player, the MVP race, the league's title contenders and whether the Valkyries can make a legitimate postseason run after an unforgettable first two seasons in the W.

LeBron James is headed to Philadelphia.

Deuce and Mo react to LeBron's decision to sign a two-year deal with the 76ers, how he fits alongside Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid, whether the Sixers have enough to contend in a loaded Eastern Conference, and if Philly was the best landing spot for LeBron at this stage of his career.

Plus, after a week in Las Vegas, they share their biggest Summer League takeaways, discuss the players who stood out, and reflect on the experience covering the event. They also talk about the exciting news that Deuce & Mo will host Sacramento Kings pre and postgame coverage on NBC Sports California all season long.
