Tyler King is back with another episode of Basketball in the Mountains!

Vinny Benedetto from The Denver Gazette returns to talk all things Nuggets in the wake of the Peyton Watson sign-and-trade to the Cavaliers that brings back an unprotected 2031 first-round pick to Denver.

The guys talk through a disappointing offseason for the Nuggets, one that has frustrated the fan base and leaves a lot of questions heading into the 2026-27 NBA season, especially for a new-look bench unit that will now be led by new free agent signing DeMar DeRozan.

Still, Denver might be the top team behind favorites San Antonio and Oklahoma City in the Western Conference and Vinny and Tyler give their takes on how the Nuggets season could go, both good and bad.

Tyler Rucker from No Ceilings NBA joins to talk all things Summer League.

Starting with players from local college teams, the guys give their take on No. 1 pick AJ Dybantsa and how the former BYU star performed in Las Vegas, as well as his fit with the Washington Wizards going forward.

Then, they hit on one of the stars of the summer in Arizona's Brayden Burries, who went to the Milwaukee Bucks in the lottery and shined in Vegas.

They wrap up by discussing all three NBA teams in the MT time zone, starting in Utah and with new Jazz star Darryn Peterson, who looked the part both in Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.

Finally, they break down Khaman Maluach's impressive showing for the Phoenix Suns and how he fits in the rotation this season before giving a few quick takeaways on Nuggets rookies Trevon Brazile and Bryce Hopkins.

Troy Finnegan returns for a temperature check on the Nuggets fan base a month into free agency and with the team doing very little so far.

Peyton Watson still remains unsigned and his restricted free agency doesn't seem to be coming to an end anytime soon, nor do any trades feel imminent.

Tyler and Troy assess the few moves Denver has made so far, including the signings of Marvin Bagley and Alpha Diallo, as well as the news that veteran coach Dave Joerger is joining David Adelman's staff as the top assistant.

Chandler Holt from KSL Sports returns to talk all things Jazz in the wake of a stunning trade as center Walker Kessler is sent to the Los Angeles Lakers for multiple first-round draft picks and swaps.

Why Utah was so eager to make this move this summer and what could come next for the franchise with No. 2 pick Darryn Peterson also in the fold.

Tyler and Chandler also talk about what to expect from the Jazz's young players at NBA Summer League, most notably Peterson and Ace Bailey.

Finally, Tyler wraps the show with some thoughts on the Phoenix Suns trading for Miles Bridges, a move that disappointed large portions of the fan base, as well as the Nuggets having a quiet start to free agency as the Peyton Watson (and more) situation is yet to be resolved in Denver.

It's a solo edition today as we're talking all things NBA Draft.

It's time to get excited about the future in Utah as the Jazz take Darryn Peterson No. 2 overall in what they hope is the final piece of the rebuild and the spark that returns the franchise back to contention in the Western Conference as soon as next season.

Next, Tyler breaks down the Suns moving up to draft Arizona's Koa Peat with the final pick in the first round and Phoenix also re-signing Mark Williams to a very reasonable contract to essentially fill out the roster.

Finally, he breaks down the Nuggets' two second-round picks and the swath of rumors surrounding Denver, including Nikola Jokic potentially not signing a super-max extension this summer and Celtics star Jaylen Brown being a potential trade target.
