Play Episode Listen Later Jun 21, 2023 74:53


Welcome all! Today, the fellas discuss a weird draft week (1:00), with the draft feeling a whole lot different in 2023 than years past. We talk Wemby's experience in NYC ahead of the draft (5:20) before diving into 2019 draft class to talk the Ja Morant suspension (8:50) and Zion's....situation (18:00). MJ is selling the Hornets, and we respect getting the bag (25:30) even though we are uncertain about what kind of bag Draymond thinks he's getting by opting out (28:45). Finally we break down the Beal to PHX trade from all angles (35:30) before talking NBA Draft predictions at the end of the pod (52:30). Follow us @happyhourhoops1

We start with all things Jimmy after one of the most historic playoff performances we've ever seen (1:30), the Lakers somehow becoming the favorite in the West (12:20), why Kings/Warriors is the best series of round one (19:30) and why the Cavs are dead (26:00). Disregard our Celtics/Hawks conversation (36:00) unless you don't care at all that Atlanta stole game 5 and think Boston will dominate regardless. Because we talk a lot about a potential Sixers/Celtics series lol Dunny leaves for Disneyland so Steve and Jake break down Wolves/Nuggets (45:00) and Suns/Clippers (50:00), but mostly preview the upcoming Suns/Nuggets series starting on Saturday.
