How confident is he that the Sonics are finally returning to Seattle? :30- AL KINISKY (KAN Color Analyst) Dare we think about the Sonics and Kraken sharing an arena and a sports season? Let’s talk about that comeback last night- how important was it for the Kraken to get point? Is there an effort issue on this Kraken team or is that just nonsense? How much would that sting for the players? What’s next on this road trip and what do the Kraken need to get done? :45- We wrap up a VERY busy show with one last thing!

CHRIS BROUSSARD (First Things First, FS1) INTERVIEW ATTACHED Consider this perfect timing as the NBA Board of Governors has just approved the preliminary vote to explore expansion to Las Vegas and Seattle! We get Chris’ thoughts on the announcement. How should Seattle fans feel about this? Is it ok to be excited? How close to the end of this are we? Is there enough talent in the NBA to allow for expansion? How difficult will it be for the expansion franchises to have success? :30- IAN FURNESS joins the show with his instant reaction to the Sonics news this morning. How does he personally feel about this first step? :45- We get listener reaction to the Sonics news!

Headlines and 12th Man News with GREGG BELL (Tacoma News Tribune) - Breaking down the JSN extension and how the money actually works out. - Was Gregg surprised that the Seahawks matched Jacksonville’s numbers for Bobo? - Yes, the Hawks got Emmanuel Wilson, but they don’t have a proven person at RB yet after losing Walker and with Charbonnet out. Should we be concerned? :30- Cal Raleigh had a spectacular season last year and there’s no way we can expect him to duplicate that this year, so what is his floor? Julio is actually getting more pre-season MLVP love than Cal is and that’s not a bad problem to have. :45- Well, well, well… we have some BIG BREAKING NEWS!!!!

Should the NBA expand? There are a lot of questions being asked about whether or not the NBA can handle expansion when they haven’t figured out how to stop tanking yet. Are there enough good players to add two new teams to the league or will the talent get too watered down? Would either of these issues prevent the league from voting yes on expansion? :30- We are one sleep away from Opening Day and we have more business to take care of… Yesterday we came up with our options for the Mariners winning song, but what about a losing song? We have to accept that they’ll lose at least 10 or 15 games this year, right? :45- Who could step in as the new head basketball coach at UNC? Well, pretty much ANYONE is on the table except Duke alums.

Headlines and HUGH MILLEN If Hugh could only have one… a great wide receiver or a great right tackle? Is JSN worth the contract the Seahawks just gave him? What is it that sets him apart? The Seahawks ended up beating the Jaguars offer for Bobo, what does it mean for them to keep him here in Seattle? Next up, they’ll have to pay Witherspoon; how will these big contracts affect what happens with Darnold next year? :30- We are just TWO DAYS away from the start of the 2026 Mariners season! The rotation is out; how do we feel about it? Does the order really matter though? There’s a legitimate debate that any one of these guys could be #1. :45- The NBA Board of Governors meets starting today and we could find out this afternoon if the 1st vote for NBA expansion is approved, but it seems that most people (not everyone) feel that this is a formality and Adam Silver wouldn’t be putting this out there if he didn’t have the votes. The next step will be the tougher part, but even that has a lot of people optimistic about the Sonics return.
