Just hours after the NBA Draft wrapped up, the Toronto Raptors shocked the league by parting ways with longtime executive Masai Ujiri. We break down the timing, possible internal politics, and what's next for Ujiri—and the Raptors' already shaky rebuild. Plus, a major drama brews in Utah as No. 5 pick Ace Bailey reportedly might not report to the Jazz. We explore the pre-draft rumors, Bailey’s possible power play, and whether the Jazz were right to ignore the red flags. Could this be Steve Francis or Dominique Wilkins all over again?

The Los Angeles Lakers also made headlines, aggressively trading into the second round to grab athletic Arkansas wing Adou Thiero. With questions swirling about Austin Reaves’ future, is this a hint at bigger moves coming in free agency?

Later, we crown our definitive draft winners and runners-up—with love for the Wizards, Suns, Spurs, and maybe a controversial Phoenix take or two. Plus, we look ahead to free agency: who has cap space, who’s bluffing, and why the second tax apron might reshape the league's future.
