In this festive episode of The Kevin O'Connor Show, Kevin O'Connor and Wosny Lambre share their NBA Christmas wishes that they want to see come true this season. First, KOC suggests the Sacramento Kings should trade D'Aaron Fox while his value is at its peak. The duo agrees that the Kings need to look ahead and start building around their future stars. Next, the conversation shifts to the Denver Nuggets, where Wosny believes Nikola Jokić needs more help if Denver is going to compete at a higher level. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks could see a big boost from Mitchell Robinson's return, with Wos stressing the importance of his physical presence to elevate their offense to the next level.Later, the duo discusses some players and teams needing adjustments, including Zion Williamson's future with the New Orleans Pelicans and the need for Zach LaVine to finally get out of Chicago. KOC and Wos also hit on the Philadelphia 76ers, Amen Thompson and Jonathan Kuminga, plus KOC has bold predictions for Victor Wembanyama, already calling him a top-5 player in the NBA. The duo finish up with a mailbag question on the Oklahoma City Thunder and whether they'll keep adding.(1:20) - Time to trade D'Aaron Fox(8:20) - Nuggets need to get some help for Jokic(15:40) - Knicks need Mitchell Robinson back(20:50) - Amen Thompson needs more opportunities(25:25) - Warriors wash their hands of Jonathan Kuminga(27:55) - Nick Nurse needs to add layers to the 6ers offense(30:30) - Zach LaVine finds a new home(33:50) - Pelicans trade everybody(39:20) - Victor Wembanyama a top-5 player?(46:10) - Thunder re-sign Alex Caruso
