First Take

In this episode, Courtney Cronin, Bart Scott and Chris "Mad Dog" Russo react to the news of the Boston Celtics being among the teams in trade talks for Kevin Durant. Mark Jackson joins the show with his take on the Durant decision and if he believes Russell Westbrook can salvage his career in Los Angeles. And, as Davante Adams reports to Raiders training camp, Courtney, Bart, and Mad Dog debate whether he's better off with Derek Carr or if he'll miss his QB connection with Aaron Rodgers. Plus, Bill Belichick still hasn't named his coaching staff with the season fast approaching and the crew decides if he's on the verge of a Patriots dictatorship.
