From Cooper Flagg to Adou Thiero, this episode has it all—trades, scouting breakdowns, and spirited debate.

Back on the mic with Arizona 98.7 FM’s own Sammy Cibulka to dive deep into Kevin Durant’s trade market. We go team by team—San Antonio, Houston, Minnesota, and more—breaking down realistic scenarios and debating which teams should even be calling for KD. From there, we zoom out and ask the bigger question: if Phoenix does move Durant, does it make sense to keep Devin Booker? Sammy brings the trade ideas, I bring the feedback, and naturally, we sneak in a little draft talk too. One of our best episodes yet—let’s get into it.

I’m joined by James—who’s got one of the sharpest scouting eyes out there—to break down some of our most underrated prospects and late-round dynasty league gems. We debate Omarion Hampton vs. Cam Skattebo, dig into Kyle McCord’s long-term upside, and question whether the Jaxson Dart hype is legit. We also get into whether Cam Ward might be elite (in my case, just how elite he is), how Joe Milton stacks up against this QB class, and if Shedeur Sanders is a bit overrated.

 Let's ride, fellow draft nerds.

Throughout the podcast, we take a deep dive into the top three picks—focusing on the Giants' franchise-altering decision at No. 3, the Browns’ wealth of trade options and best path forward at No. 2, and why the Titans have only one clear choice at No. 1. Naturally, we compare Cam Ward and Shedeur Sanders, debating which QB is worth trading up for and why the Raiders, with Tom Brady’s influence, could make a strong push for Shedeur. Meanwhile, should the Vikings commit to Darnold or target JJ McCarthy? With so many moving pieces in both free agency and the draft, we break down the ripple effects and biggest storylines shaping this pivotal offseason.
