Summary
On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off by weighing in on the reports that it's now expected that Kyrie Irving will be playing for a new team next season. It's clear at this point that Irving is using several members of the NBA media to push his agenda in an attempt to gain leverage over the Brooklyn Nets, and yet Jason and Rob are at odds about whether or not his plan will actually work. Would the Nets really kowtow to such a mercurial personality? Are the Los Angeles Lakers really that desperate to land another star player as LeBron James heads into the twilight of his NBA career? Expect both of those questions to be answered in the next few days. Later, the guys share their thoughts on the NBA Draft. The Orlando Magic shocked the world where they selected Paolo Banchero essentially sight-unseen with the first overall pick. Let's hope the risky move pays off for them. On the flip side, the Oklahoma City Thunder scored with Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams in the lottery, and the New York Knicks pulled off a trade that netted them three future first round picks (for someone like Donovan Mitchell) and opened up cap space this summer (for someone like Jalen Brunson). Both fanbases should feel pretty good about themselves this morning.

| 1:20.0 | A little frustrating. Obviously there was chaos and drama at the top of the draft. |
| 1:24.8 | The Orlando Magic folks do not have an official meeting with Palo Bancaro. Do not bring him in for |
