Dianna Russini is reporting that the Steelers open for business in regards to George Pickens, if it can get the Steelers back into the 2nd round. We also reacted to the sad news with Derrick Harmon, whose mom passed away last night after receiving word he was drafted. GIVEAWAY. Audibles & Analytics podcast host Jon Ledyard joined the show. Jon didn't love the immediate Derrick Harmon comp to Cam Heyward, but he really likes the pick. He said Harmon has a very high floor who will be a borderline elite one in this draft. The guys asked Jon how early Harmon can fit into this defense from the jump. Jon said he would have taken Matthew Golden if Harmon was unavailable at 21 and he didn't have the option to trade down. Jon applauded the Steelers for not jumping on a QB that didn't warrant a 1st round pick last night like the mistake they made a few years ago. Jon described this draft as a ‘dart throw quarterback class' because it lacks strength behind the top guy. Jon doesn't think the Steelers get more than a 3rd round pick for George Pickens, unless a team is very dumb or desperate. Jon's guess for the next two picks are RB and QB, but not necessarily in that order.

The Minnesota Vikings have reportedly shown interest in Aaron Rodgers, leading to speculation about whether they will make a serious push to sign him. The discussion focuses on what Rodgers' next move might be and which teams could be the best fit for him at this stage in his career. [12:30] Thunder vs. Celtics – Oklahoma City Wins 118-112The Oklahoma City Thunder clinched a playoff berth with a statement win over the Boston Celtics, defeating them 118-112. This game marked the Thunder's 17th win in their last 18 games, further solidifying their status as a top contender in the Western Conference. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again showcased his dominance, scoring 34 points with five rebounds and seven assists. He is now one of only seven players in NBA history to score 20+ points in 60 consecutive games, joining legends such as Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, and Kobe Bryant. [28:15] Timberwolves vs. Nuggets – Minnesota Dominates 115-95The Minnesota Timberwolves secured a commanding 115-95 victory over the Denver Nuggets, raising questions about Denver's consistency.

[03:45] DIANNA RUSSINI JOINS THE SHOWMultiple teams have reportedly reached out to the Bengals to inquire about trading for wide receiver Tee Higgins. Cincinnati has remained firm in their stance on Higgins, but with trade interest growing, will they eventually make a move? Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has reportedly requested a trade, with the team setting a high asking price of a first- and third-round pick. With rumors swirling about a potential trade involving Joey Bosa, what kind of market does the star pass rusher have? [15:24] DOES SGA HAVE THE MVP LOCKED UP?Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been on an absolute tear, setting a record for the fewest games between his first and fourth 50-point performances with just 19. His scoring dominance has propelled the Oklahoma City Thunder to a Western Conference-best 50-11 record, making him the clear frontrunner for MVP. He currently leads the league in both points per game (32.6) and total points (1,957). With SGA now sitting at -650 odds to win the award, is there any real competition left for the MVP, or is it already locked up? [26:20] SHOULD COOPER FLAGG RETURN TO DUKE?During Duke's final home game of the season, fans erupted into chants urging Cooper Flagg to "run it back" for another year. Flagg seemed to acknowledge the moment, raising his finger as if signaling his return, while his father made the same gesture in the stands. Reports suggest that Flagg could consider withdrawing from the 2025 NBA Draft if he is unhappy with the team that lands the No. 1 overall pick. With his NIL deals already totaling $4.8 million, making him the highest-paid college player, does he actually have a reason to stay at Duke for another year? [37:25] JASON KIDD ON KYRIE IRVING'S INJURYKyrie Irving was playing heavy minutes in the weeks leading up to his injury, averaging 39.3 per game—more than any other player in that span. After Irving went down, Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd pushed back against any criticism regarding the team's handling of his workload, calling the injury a "freak accident." Is Kidd right to dismiss concerns about overuse, or is this a sign that the Mavericks are mismanaging their stars? With Irving sidelined, how much trouble is Dallas in for the rest of the season?
