That's right, this is still a dynasty fantasy podcast.

We review TWO rookie drafts that occurred in our ongoing dynasty leagues: our legendary, long-running home league that spans three continents, and of course the Old Man Squad Dynasty League. The format for both is 12 team 9-cat, two rounds each, followed by waivers during the season.

We also discuss the big Jaylen Brown trade.

Recommendations:

Noah - Trying different food/drink combinations in different countries. Highlighted here: 75% cold brew coffee, 25% ice cold lemonade.

Jeffrey - The Ed Sheeran Loop Tour, likely his last US tour in a long while, or so he says

We give our thoughts on the 2026 NBA Draft. Plain and simple.

Recommendations:

Noah - Taiwan Beer, not just the beer from Taiwan in general, but the brand Taiwan Beer. Seen everywhere throughout Taiwan, and especially worthwhile is the local-only 18 Day draft beer, with a strict 18-day shelf life.

Jeffrey - The classic, much too short-lived sci epic, Firefly and its following movie Serenity

Our Mock Draft is finally here! This time, we got our friends On Ball Creator AKA Jeremy and THE Corban Ford to help us out. Part 2 is picks 17-30, and we get a little more unhinged...

The format: 

We take turns acting as each team's Team President/General Manager. The others will act as assistant GMs/scouts and pitch their players to the Team President who ultimately makes the final choice. Then we change teams and change roles as Team Presidents. Rinse and repeat until we get to 30 at the end of the first round.

Our last solo prospect for the year is Christian Anderson of Texas Tech. He is a lights out shooter and one of the best, if not the best, in the class. He's undersized but brings a lot of excellent qualities. Dig in with us to find out what he brings to the table! 

And of course, we discuss the thrilling conclusion to the Spurs-Thunder series, as well as the changes to the draft lottery system.

We take our penultimate solo prospect breakdown for the season with Houston freshman stretch-4 Chris Cenac Jr! This was a challenging scout for us, so this episode gets into the nitty gritty nuance that you all know and love from us. It's a longer scout, but it puts complicated players like Chris Cenac Jr in context with how they would fit in the NBA in both the regular season and the playoffs.
