NBA Draft Debate: Darryn Peterson vs AJ Dybantsa, Giannis Trade Rumors & Lakers Playoff Fallout

The crew is back after a week off, and there’s a lot to get into. Rashawn, Emmette, Josh, and Keith break down the Chicago Bulls jumping into the top four of the NBA Draft, debate whether Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Caleb Wilson, or Cameron Boozer should be the top prospect, and discuss what the Bulls should do with their pick. Then the conversation shifts to the latest Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors, including whether the Clippers, Celtics, or another team could put together the best package. The guys also react to the Knicks dominating Philly, the Lakers’ playoff exit, the Spurs’ future with Wemby, and the NFL’s highest-paid players list. Plus: Bears opening night talk, sleeper NFL teams, LaMelo Ball’s baby name, “one gotta go” debates featuring early-2000s point guards and tight ends, and the wild viral sports-world drama around Mike Vrabel. 00:00 Intro & Brazil Check-In 02:33 Bulls Jump Into the Top 4 of the NBA Draft 03:49 Darryn Peterson, AJ Dybantsa, Caleb Wilson & Cameron Boozer Debate 04:43 Josh Makes the Case for AJ Dybantsa 06:56 Darryn Peterson’s Superstar Potential 09:20 Caleb Wilson vs Cameron Boozer 13:07 Why AJ Dybantsa Is Rated So High 15:21 Darryn Peterson vs AJ Dybantsa Head-to-Head 16:33 Utah Jazz Draft Fit & Boozer Family Dynamic 18:18 Should the Bulls Pass on Cameron Boozer? 19:01 Darius Acuff, Keaton Wagler & Other Draft Options 23:06 Final Picks: Best Prospect in the Draft 24:53 Giannis Trade Rumors Begin 25:23 Clippers Package for Giannis? 27:29 Celtics, Jaylen Brown & Giannis Trade Possibilities 28:43 Who Has a Better Title Shot With Giannis: Clippers or Celtics? 30:24 Knicks Sweep Philly & 76ers Salary Cap Hell 34:37 Are the Knicks the 2014 Spurs? 35:07 Knicks Offense, Mike Brown & Finals Potential 39:21 Pacers Trading a Top-5 Pick for Zubac? 40:28 Lakers Playoff Exit Breakdown 41:26 Would the Lakers Beat OKC With Luka? 43:46 What’s Next for the Lakers? 46:46 Lakers Free Agency, Austin Reaves & LeBron’s Future 48:37 Spurs vs Timberwolves & Wemby’s Rise 49:37 Spurs’ Young Core: Wemby, Dylan Harper, Castle & Fox 51:55 Bears Open the Season Against the Super Bowl Champs 53:06 Bears Offense, Tight Ends & Caleb Williams Expectations 55:20 Can the Bears Win the NFC North? 56:35 Highest-Paid NFL Players by Position 57:26 Dak Prescott, Cowboys Contracts & Micah Parsons 58:37 George Kittle, Tight End Market & Best TEs 01:00:47 Saquon Barkley, Eagles Locker Room & AJ Brown 01:02:08 Bengals Sleeper Talk 01:02:44 Browns Draft, QB Room & Shedeur Sanders 01:03:52 Players We Were Wrong About 01:04:07 Rashawn’s Miss: Jalen Brunson 01:04:33 Keith’s Miss: Jayson Tatum 01:05:54 Emmette’s Miss: Jaylen Brown 01:06:39 Josh’s Miss: Klay Thompson 01:08:58 One Gotta Go: Starbury, Steve Francis, Baron Davis, Gilbert Arenas 01:12:18 LaMelo Ball’s Baby Name: LaOne 01:16:49 One Gotta Go: Kittle, Witten, Greg Olsen, Jimmy Graham 01:23:52 Mike Vrabel Drama & Viral Sports Scandal Talk 01:31:34 Final Reactions & Wrap-Up
