Anthony comes back from the weekend with a slight update to the Jonathan Kuminga situation. Cam Johnson has been presented as a backup plan, but Anthony doesn't consider it particularly likely. He discusses all that, then dives into a lengthy and productive Q&A with the live audience.

As great as Cam Johnson would be, Anthony doesn't think (as he didn't with OKC) Denver will just help the Lakers be better to avoid the second apron. He explains why and answers other questions from Twitter and the live audience.

Lima and Lance revisit Jason Lloyd's comments and admit they went back and forth on whether the Cavs should have traded Evan Mobley for Jaylen Brown, with Lima arguing Oklahoma City's pursuit of Mobley signals real belief in his trajectory rather than a finished product. They debate how much more growth is realistic for Mobley entering year six, agreeing he still lacks a reliable go-to bucket in late-game playoff situations and questioning whether fans are expecting him to be something he's not. A caller named Josh pushes back on LeBron nostalgia, praises Donovan Mitchell for publicly embracing Cleveland unlike LeBron's repeated exits, and pitches Herb Jones or Cam Johnson as realistic trade targets if Denver looks to shed salary. The segment closes by teasing a Jason Lloyd quarterback comment that left Lima visibly stunned.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the contract that Spencer Jones signed over the weekend. Jones initially signed with Oklahoma City, but the Denver Nuggets matched the deal in restricted free agency. Ryan discusses Denver's decision, Jones' return, and what it means for Peyton Watson, Cam Johnson, and the rest of Denver's offseason. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Danny Cunningham joins the show and argues the Cavs share real blame for LeBron picking Philadelphia, since Cleveland never matched Miami's Giannis addition or Philly's Jalen Brown deal before he decided. He pushes back on some of the reported "reasons" leaking from LeBron's camp, especially the idea that Donovan Mitchell staying was a dealbreaker, calling that unbelievable given Mitchell's production. Cunningham also breaks down realistic paths forward for Koby Altman, including a potential Denver salary-dump trade for Cam Johnson and a renewed look at Jonathan Kuminga, while stressing the real pressure now falls on Evan Mobley to justify the front office's faith in him.

On a Monday episode of Hot Takes, Eric Goodman and Troy Renck get into the news of Peyton Watson weighing playing next season on the qualifying offer. Also, the Nuggets have matched the Thunder's offer sheet on Spencer Jones, retaining Jones in restricted free agency. If Denver brings back Watson, does that mean Cam Johnson will be traded?

In hour one of Dover and Cecil, the guys start the show by reacting to the news of the day: LeBron James is now a 76er! Now that he is officially on a team, what does that mean for the NBA? Do we believe in the backup pass rushers if Cooper can't suit up next season? Would the drop-off be dramatic, or would it be an easier hole to fill than most realize? A Nuggets player has come up in talks, but the Nuggets have rebuffed them every single time. Why are the Nuggets making Cam Johnson untouchable?

In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, the guys lay out why they think Bo's ascension in year three is a matter of "when", not "if". Is Bo going to be a sixty-million-dollar QB?

How can Nix build more chemistry with Evan Engram?

How involved will Sean Payton be in the Broncos offense this season as Davis Webb calls plays? Will Payton give Webb a long leash for mistakes early in the season? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com's Will Petersen joining the show to discuss the Nuggets, the debate earlier in the show on whether Cam Johnson was better than Michael Porter Jr., and if Christian Braun will bounce back after a down year last season.

The Chicago Bulls still have major offseason flexibility, and Haize breaks down how the team can use its remaining cap space to improve the roster, absorb contracts, and potentially add draft capital.
