Summary
Chris and Rob use Kylian Mbappe’s record-setting contract offer from the Saudi Arabian club Al-Hilal to discuss how they would feel if the Saudis tried to poach NBA stars like LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo to a separate league, and tell us why Austin Rivers is right when he says Damian Lillard trying to force a trade to the Miami Heat is bad for the League as a whole. Plus, the guys go head-to-head in this week’s edition of Sources Say.
