Episode Details

Bryan Toporek from Liberty Ballers, Forbes and Bleacher Report to discuss all the slop that dropped this week! First Deandre Ayton back to the Suns after they match the Pacers four year max offer sheet, the drama that could unfold in their locker room next year and how it will effect Phoenix Suns and their grand plans to trade for Kevin Durant. We also talked about the Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks rumors, whether the Knicks should go all in for the star they have wanted forever and what a realistic package could look like for them to land him. We then talked about why the Sixers were never major players for Mitchell despite having one of the best young prospects in the league in Tyrese Maxey. Also when the Jazz fully blow it up, how can the Sixers benefit and who should they target on their roster? Last we talked about Isaiah Joe, Trevelin Queen, Jaden Springer and the Summer League Sixers. Enjoy!
