Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘already’ as in it’s here again as in there’s no way time moves this fast as in the NBA is back! It feels like just yesterday the Los Angeles Lakers won the NBA title. How can the NBA already be back? COVID shut down the NBA back in March and that feels like it was 10 years ago. So what is happening this season (0:06)? The Toronto Raptors are now temporarily the Tampa Raptors, which got the commissioner, Adam Silver, answering questions about expansion (5:13). James Harden and Houston Rockets relationship is officially toxic. What a terrible distraction this has become for that team. What can be done? Anything (13:42)? BREAKING NEWS! A report by the Washington Post was just released that says that WFT team owner Daniel Snyder settled a sexual misconduct claim for $1.6M back in 2009. Oh boy! There is a war going on in the board room of this team and dirty secrets are being revealed. Will Snyder be forced to sell now (24:15)? Review - Let Him Go (30:05). So You Wanna Talk To Samson!? Someone asked me about Trevor Bauer. They wanted to know how teams gather information about players who have some ‘issues’. (33:40) My pick of the day is now horrible. I am taking the rest of year off from giving picks. Just cannot do it. Will the picks return in 2021? #waittosee -------------------------- 'Nothing Personal with David Samson' is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, Google Podcasts, Castbox, Bullhorn and wherever else you listen to podcasts.

0:40.4	days.
