Summary

Today’s word of the day is ‘best fit’ as in Giannis Antetokounmpo as in Milwaukee as in the Bucks as in Doc Rivers as in trade. It looks like Giannis finally wants out. He didn’t ask for a trade, but he asked for a trade. Should Milwaukee facilitate that? Will his latest calf injury keep him from being traded? (12:00) The Los Angeles Clippers have released Chris Paul in what was supposed to be his retirement tour season. What a mess. It looked like Paul and head coach Tyronn Lue just couldn’t get on the same page. (26:30) Zion Williamson is hurt again. Going to miss another three weeks. There was no reason the Pelicans should have guaranteed his contract for this season, and here we are. (34:00) Review: The Descendants. (38:00) NPPOD. (43:30) Steve Cohen is so close to getting his $8.1 billion dream built. The New York State Gaming Commission is a vote away from granting Cohen one of the three gambling licenses. If that happens, a casino is coming to Citi Field. Wow. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
