Tyler King is joined by Utah beat writer Steve Bartle from KSL sports to talk all things Runnin' Utes, who are in their first offseason with new head coach Alex Jensen, the program legend who will always be remembered for his contributions to the 1998 team that made the national championship game. Tyler and Steve discuss the revitalized fan base in Salt Lake City and how that has propelled a flurry of interesting transfer portal additions that should set Utah up for immediate success in Jensen's first season back with the Utes.

The Kevin Durant trade saga has finally reached its conclusion and Tyler King is back to break it all down on the latest episode of Basketball in the Mountains. He breaks down Phoenix's return for KD from the Houston Rockets, which includes Jalen Green, Dillon Brooks and the No. 10 pick in the upcoming NBA Draft. He discusses why this feels like such an underwhelming haul for one of the all-time great players, whose tenure in Phoenix ends after a little over two years and just one appearance past the first round of the playoffs. Tyler then gives some of his favorite options for the Suns to draft at Nos. 10 and 29 in the first round of the draft before discussing what's next this offseason, namely the looming decision on whether or not to move on from Bradley Beal and how Phoenix can do so.
