Later in the show, Nekias & Steve share their thoughts on the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs, with Ja Morant and Victor Wembanyama returning and looking to make an impact for their squads after last season was largely a lost one for both. They then discuss how the addition of Cooper Flagg to the Mavericks could potentially be a game-changer for the division and help elevate the Mavs to a higher level.
The guys wrap the episode by talking about the possible impact of having a fully healthy Zion Williamson for the New Orleans Pelicans, as well as naming their X-factors for the team this season. Finally, Nekias & Steve examine the Las Vegas Aces’ sweep of the Phoenix Mercury in the WNBA Finals, securing their third title in four years.

4 Takeaways From the Blue Jays’ ALCS Game 3 Win Over the Mariners
The Mariners boarded their charter flight back to Seattle in high spirits. After winning two games on the road, they were in an ideal position, needing to lock down just two more victories to advance to the World Series for the first time in franchise history. Returning to T-Mobile Park, the M’s could practically taste the Fall Classic.Not so fast.The Blue Jays stormed back and delivered a thundering statement by slugging five home runs — with three of them coming off Mariners' starter George Kirby.

Here are my takeaways: 1. Clutch No. 9It was Toronto’s No. 9 hitter Andrés Giménez, of […]

Keegan Murray contract: Kings forward agrees to five-year, $140 million rookie extension, per report
Getty Images The Sacramento Kings have reportedly signed forward Keegan Murray to a five-year, $140 million rookie extension, per ESPN's Shams Charania. The fourth overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft was set to become a restricted free agent next summer, but this new deal locks him in with Sacramento through the 2030-31 season.The hope is that Murray can return to the version of himself that averaged 15.2 points on 35.8% from 3-point range in his sophomore season. He looked like a solid 3-and-D threat that season, but his numbers took a dive last season (12.4 points, 34.3% from deep), in part due to all of the changes around him on the roster with the additions of DeMar DeRozan and Zach LaVine, and the departure of De'Aaron Fox. There was also the firing of Mike Brown and promoting Doug Christie […]
