00:00 – 08:13
Chris and Greg react to the NBA Draft Lottery, celebrating the Sixers moving up to No. 3 overall. Chris recaps his nearly successful lottery bets while watching Thunderbolts. They break down the top lottery teams—Dallas, San Antonio, Philadelphia, and Charlotte—and the draft tiers:
Tier 1: Cooper Flagg
Tier 2: Dylan Harper
Tier 3: Ace Bailey
Chris explains why pick 4 is a “consolation prize” and walks through team needs and likely picks.
08:13 – 13:25
They discuss potential draft fits and trade possibilities. Dallas is likely to draft Cooper Flagg. Chris suggests San Antonio could trade pick #2 (plus rookie Stefan Castle) for Giannis, creating a Wembanyama-Giannis pairing. This would leave Philadelphia with Ace Bailey—raw but promising. The hosts compare Bailey and Harper’s games, criticizing Rutgers’ weak supporting cast and how it impacted their stats.
13:25 – 15:00
Chris predicts a lineup featuring Maxey, Grimes, Bailey, Paul George, and Embiid, with Jared McCain off the bench. They agree it depends on Embiid’s health and that next season can’t be worse than this one.
15:00 – 18:06
Matt is humorously accused of being a VJ Edgecombe superfan. They discuss other fringe lottery prospects like Khaman Maluach, Derik Queen, and Jace Richardson (undersized at 6’1″). They question comparisons to stars like Draymond Green, calling such comps misleading.
18:06 – 26:00
Chris explores a potential Lakers-Celtics trade involving Porzingis and Holiday to LA. He uses a trade machine to evaluate pieces like Austin Reaves, Rui Hachimura, and Gabe Vincent. They debate who’s more valuable—Porzingis or Reaves—and whether a trade helps both teams. Other potential landing spots for Austin Reaves are also discussed.
26:00 – 27:33
Chris floats the idea of Kevin Durant returning to Oklahoma City. They agree KD’s fit with the Thunder is better than Giannis, due to spacing. A short-term KD contract could give OKC flexibility as they develop young talent.
27:33 – 28:06
Chris speculates Houston may panic and trade for Zion Williamson. Both hosts express concern over his durability but agree the Rockets need a unifying star.
28:06 – 33:12
The hosts praise the NHL for broadcasting its draft lottery live with real-time updates. The Islanders win with just a 3.5% chance, while Utah jumps 10 spots to No. 4. The system’s transparency and tension impress them, and they wish the NBA adopted similar practices.
33:12 – 36:40
Chris criticizes the NBA for not showing the expected draft order during the lottery. Brooklyn, in particular, loses out by falling two spots. He questions who they’ll draft with limited quality options remaining and reviews other lower-tier prospects’ limitations.
36:40 – 39:17
Greg updates the NHL playoff picture:
Toronto and Florida are tied 2-2
Dallas vs. Winnipeg is intense
Edmonton continues winning despite goaltending issues
Vegas has stalled; Carolina dominates Washington
He praises the nightly intensity of playoff hockey.
39:17 – 41:15
Greg shares frustrations with overreacting Phillies fans, noting Bryce Harper’s brief slump and Kyle Schwarber’s consistency. Chris shares a recent parlay that fell short due to Trey Turner going 0-for-4 despite hitting .312 on the season.
