The Drive

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach talking with Stokley and Zach about the possibility of bringing in Russell Westbrook and if JALEN Pickett could be ready to be back up point guard? Zach then dives into Michael Porter Jr. and how his contract affects the Nuggets going forward more than most people are suggesting. The Big 12 media voted the Buffs to finish 11th in the preseason poll, is CU in for massive let down this fall? After making a tough decision on KCP, does Nuggets GM, Calvin Booth, have an even bigger decision to make this summer?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys rank the head coaches in Denver based on job security. Where do Zach and Will disagree and could the most recent championship winning coach, be on the hottest seat? Today’s “Three Count” includes a move you can only do with Colorado in the new NCAA video game, Cooper Flagg, and where the Avs rank in the “way too early NHL rankings”. The basketball group stage is set for the Olympics this summer, will Denver Nuggets fans have a conflict of interest?

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys continue their conversation about the USA Men’s Olympic basketball team. Is the rest of the world catching up to the US and will they eventually surpass the US in basketball? Do the guys have a problem with Jarrett Stidham gathering some Broncos for off season workouts in Texas? Does either Bo Nix or Zach Wilson have enough equity to put together a summer workout? When would be the perfect time to insert Bo Nix as the Broncos starter? After the Big 12 preseason poll predicted CU to finish 11th, is it still realistic to expect a big season from the Buffs?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys discuss which Nuggets deserve how much blame for the Nuggets getting outed in the playoffs. Is Michael Porter Jr.’s contract causing the Nuggets to waste this championship window? Will the Nuggets and Aaron Gordon reach an extension this summer?

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach cross talking with Stokley and Josh, recapping their Fourth of July and theorizing why Jamal Murray hasn’t signed his extension yet. Zach continues to question what the rift between Murray and the Nuggets is and why does ESPN’s Brian Windhorst keep bringing up the non-extension between the two sides. Zach then gives his pro’s and con’s list of bringing Russell Westbrook to the Nuggets. We pivot to the NFL and the Broncos, does Denver have a “best unit” that ranks first in the AFC West?

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys react to the newly public video of the newest Nugget in a bar fight. Will shares his thoughts on why Jamal Murray hasn’t extended his contract yet and what “language” could be separating the two sides.

We finish up the hour with comments from Val Nichushkin on his situation in Seattle from a season ago.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys continue their conversation on Val Nichushkin and Val’s retelling of what happened with the situation in Seattle. Is Val pushing the blame off of himself? Zach and Will then discuss the Nuggets and ask if Nuggets GM, Calvin Booth “needs a PR 101 class”? What missteps has Booth taken since joining the Nuggets? Pro Football Focus did an exercise, “building the perfect roster” by using units from each team in a specific division. Did the Broncos units have any representation on the “perfect AFC West” roster?

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach is joined by DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen. The guys discuss the noise surrounding the Nuggets and Jamal Murray. Why hasn’t Jamal Murray extended his contract yet? Are the Nuggets disrespecting Murray by adding extra “language” to his extension? With rumors around the Nuggets acquiring Russell Westbrook, Zach gives his pro’s and con’s of brining in Westbrook. We wrap up the show with how Dario Saric fits with the Nuggets on the court.
