What NBA Trade would you like to see this offseason?!

Saeg and Jono get busy with the Trade Machine and pick their top 5 trades they'd like to see this offseason!

Saeg goes all out with some 4 and even a 5 team trade (OKC gotta get dem picks) ideas and Jono sticks to your more traditional route. Somehow between the two, the Lativian Gangbanga Unicorn, finds himself heading to 3 clubs, none of which are Dallas! 

Also in the mix are the best moves for Bradley Beal, Ben Simmons, Pascal Siakam, Damian Lillard and those pesky Warriors first rounders! 

And in a public service announcement Jakarr Sampson is a free agent. Go get that 'Tony Snell' money Jakarr!

Could there be a busier weekend in sports than what we just had?!

Saeg is joined by Jono and a mid-ep cameo by Jimmy in the UK, to discuss every element of a YUGE weekend of sport. Not only was there so many major events, it was also a big weekend for Australian women in sport with Ash Barty taking Wimbledon and Jamie Kah smashing records! 

We cover it all in the biggest episode of Sports Speak yet, with an agenda of Wimbledon finals, UFC broken bones, Euro Cup Finals, AFL results, NBA Finals, and the racist flogs who left a sour taste in sport, not for the first time. 

In another first, we react in real time to bottom of the ladder North Melbourne upsetting the West Coast Eagles whilst in the midst of recording! And of course, that all would've been deleted had the Eagles won. 

Elsewhere in the ep, Saeg is 'an idiot' for a terrible AFL Prediction, Jono is 'cromulent and confrustrated' and Jimmy dissects the entire Phoenix Suns roster. 

She's a big juan so time stamps below so unlike U2, you can indeed 'find what you're looking for'!

Hawks die hard Jono joins the show to break down the big news out of Hawthorn that Sam Mitchell will take over from Alistair Clarkson from Round 1, 2023. 

We hash out if this has echoes of the Collingwood Buckley/Malthouse decision, look at succession plans in the AFL over the past 20 years, and the ramifications for the league at large.

Where will Clarko land when it's all said and done, and how does Jono feel about Sam Mitchell taking over from a 4 time premiership coach?

It's been a huge week in sports and Saeg is joined by Jono to break it all down. 

A week of perspective in sports, as Neale Daniher once again fronted up for the Annual Big Freeze event and Christian Eriksen was brought back from the dead on a soccer pitch. 

Saeg gives his perspective on a flat Demons side losing to Collingwood, the boys give their weekly biggest winner & Loser of the AFL Round, and then we swoop into the Magpies topics including Buckleys legacy, and the impending coaching search with some opposing views on Alastair Clarkson. 

The guys discuss the on field collapse of soccer star Christian Erikson, and the life saving heroics of everyone involved while also dissecting broadcaster responsibilities in these moments and their disgust at how long it took to cut away. 

Finally we take a moment to appreciate Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer and this era of Mens Tennis and give the point god, and the Phoenix Suns, their due after they swept the Nuggest and advanced to the NBA Western Conference Finals. We see our boy Jimmy J sweating all the way over in Sheffield.
