On this episode of Conduct Detrimental: THE Sports Law Podcast, Dan Lust (@SportsLawLust) and Mike Kravchenko (Watch on YouTube) are back for the second straight week — with three breaking stories that forced a last-minute rewrite of the rundown.The episode opens with the Kawhi Leonard trade to Toronto, which is suddenly on hold indefinitely while the NBA's ten-month Aspiration investigation drags on. Dan and Mike unpack the alleged no-show marketing deal, why the Raptors would have almost certainly checked with the league before agreeing to a massive trade involving Brandon Ingram, Gradey Dick, and multiple first-round picks — and why "on hold" with no timeline is such a bizarre posture. Dan draws the parallel to Joe Smith and the Timberwolves, the last true blatant salary-cap circumvention case, and explains why draft-pick forfeiture may be exactly what's creating the hesitancy. From there, the duo turns to Balogun and the red card that wasn't. Dan and Mike break down the crucial distinction most outlets missed — the red card was never overturned, the suspension was reversed — and what it means that FIFA dusted off a rule under apparent pressure from a sitting U.S. president. Mike explains why Gianni Infantino's public support of Trump and the FIFA Peace Prize make this less surprising than it looks, while Dan argues Belgium came out looking worse and points to the Argentina–Egypt disallowed goal as the truly egregious officiating story of the tournament.Dan and Mike then dig into the criminal charges against former Bucknell strength and conditioning coach Mark Kulbis following the 2024 death of freshman CJ Dickey Jr. Mike lays out the timeline and the sickle-cell trait aggravator, then Dan pulls up Pennsylvania's hazing statute and reads the limitation in Section 2802, statutory-interpretation on whether up-downs and burpees can be a felony.The pair then hits the Brendan Sorsby saga as the NCAA opens a formal inquiry into Cincinnati over what the program knew and when. Followed by the Ohio injunction against the NCAA's new five-year eligibility rule, where Dan explains why a system that rewards whoever can reach a friendly local judge is a bad system for everyone.The episode closes with Paige Shiver's Freedom of Information Act lawsuit against the University of Michigan, seeking internal communications, the outside law firm's investigative file, and answers about when Michigan actually knew about the Sherrone Moore relationship. Plus: Dan's Europe futures ticket, a 46-to-1 Michigan basketball bet, and a Conor McGregor–Max Holloway prediction you have about 48 hours to act on. And a note — Dan Wallach may be coming back on to talk Kalshi, Polymarket, and insider trading lawsuits....Let us know your thoughts!***Have a topic you want to write about?

The main crew is back — Grant, John Browner and Beav — for a loaded night. The guys open on the World Cup, where Argentina erased a two-goal Egypt lead in stunning fashion (Messi doing Messi things) and a VAR overturn had everyone yelling "rigged." Then it's deep into Clippers offseason chaos: the Kawhi, Brandon Ingram and Walker Kessler deals still aren't official, the CBA apron is making everything a nightmare to track, and the panel goes to war over whether a $116M swing for Peyton Watson makes any sense — or whether Lawrence Frank is just doing stuff to do stuff. Should they simply re-sign Bennedict Mathurin and develop the No. 5 pick instead? In the post-show, the crew relitigates the SGA regret and closes with a full LeBron James free-agency breakdown: Denver, Golden State, or Philly? New episodes drop nightly.

The Raptors acquire Kawhi Leonard for 2 picks, a swap, and Brandon Ingram. How good can the Raptors be now in the East? Was it worth pushing their chips in to get Kawhi now? And how do we feel about what they gave up to get him? For the Clippers, was this a better move than keeping Kawhi and extending him? And should the Spurs have gotten involved if this were the price?

Today's word of the day is ‘onward' as in the NBA playoffs as in the Pistons as in the Cavaliers as in 76ers. We had a couple of Game 7s and they all delivered. Two different teams came back from 3-1 deficits! Only 15 teams have ever done that and two happened on back to back nights! We start with what happened with the Nuggets though. A Jokic-led team blew it against a Timberwolves team without its three leading scorers! (8:00) The Boston Celtics blew a 3-1 lead at home! Joel Embiid was too big, too strong, too good. Jaylen Brown decided to have a livestream on Sunday and he went off on the referees. He went off on flopping. It was quite something. (23:20) The Orlando Magic fell apart. Another 3-1 lead. Another collapse. Never seen anything like Game 6. Credit to the Pistons for battling back. (31:30) One more thing about stadium planning! (35:00) The Cavaliers won their Game 7. Played against a Raptors team without Brandon Ingram and were too much. (39:00) Review: Crime 101. (41:30) NPPOD. (45:30) Miami is out of the Super Bowl rotation.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Friday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed for the May 1 edition of Cash That Ticket, and the slate is as loaded as any Friday of the playoffs. The show opens with a full Thursday night recap after Minnesota eliminated Denver in six games, with Jaden McDaniels going for a career-high 32 points and 10 rebounds while Terrence Shannon Jr. added 24 in a starting role forced by a three-guard injury pile that left the Timberwolves shorthanded going into the clincher. Jamal Murray shot 4-of-17, finished with 12 points and four assists, and the Nuggets are done. Minnesota advances to face San Antonio on Monday. The Knicks destroyed Atlanta 140-89 on a night where the Hawks never threatened, and Philadelphia beat Boston to force a Saturday Game 7 in the Eastern Conference. Then the guys get into tonight's three elimination games and that is where the real work begins. In Orlando, the Magic are catching four points at home against Detroit in a game where Franz Wagner is out and the Pistons are laying points for the first time in the series on the road in a must-win spot for the home team. Dave likes the Magic plus four and the under at 210. Munaf builds a detailed case for Desmond Bane over 2.5 three-pointers made at plus-117 on DraftKings, citing three consecutive games with three-plus threes, five-plus threes in both Orlando home games, 8.83 attempts per game from deep, and 35-plus minutes of run with Wagner sidelined. In Toronto, Cleveland has never won on the road in this series and the Raptors outplayed the Cavaliers in every stat but three-point shooting in Game 5, losing by five while outrebounding Cleveland by 13 and posting 32 assists to Cleveland's 20. Brandon Ingram moves to doubtful mid-show and the line shifts a full point across every book, but both Dave and Munaf had already made their call on Toronto at plus points before the downgrade was official. In Houston, the Rockets try to force a Game 7 without Kevin Durant, who is out again with a bone bruise in his ankle. LeBron James is 41 and playing six games in thirteen days on the road. Austin Reeves is back but has become a defensive liability. Reed Sheppard had his coming-out moments in Game 5. Amen Thompson is playing like a seasoned postseason veteran. Dave and Munaf both land on Houston to cover and the under at 205.5, noting that three of five games in this series have finished at 205 or below. The MLB card gets a full breakdown too, with Dave delivering his best bet of the year candidate in the Red Sox team total over 4.5 runs against Mike Burrows and the porous Astros bullpen at Fenway Park. Munaf adds the Royals at Mariners under with Cole Ragans and Bryan Woo on the mound as his cleaner baseball play. There is also discussion of the Dodgers at St. Louis under, the Twins team total against Patrick Corbin, the White Sox run line against San Diego, and whether Shane McClanahan at minus-150 is worth it against San Francisco. All this plus the Pregame.com promo code HIT20 for twenty dollars off a thirty-day MLB all-access package at one hundred and nineteen dollars, and a Monday preview that will bring the official April best bets recap, second-round series previews, and the full Timberwolves versus Spurs Game 1 breakdown.

Ben Ennis and Brent Gunning open the second hour with a preview of tonight's Game 6 between the Raptors and Cavaliers. The boys discuss the latest update on Brandon Ingram ahead of tip-off and RJ Barrett's value during this playoff run. The conversation shifts to the Knicks' dominant win over the Hawks and how it affects the Eastern Conference outlook, along with the potential of a healthy 76ers team led by Joel Embiid. Later, they're joined by Sam McKee (23:22) of Real Kyper & Bourne and Leafs Talk to discuss which Canadian NHL markets should be concerned about their captain leaving, including thoughts on Auston Matthews and Connor McDavid's future, before sharing his perspective on the Maple Leafs' front office search.
