Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA offseason moves and much more. The NBA offseason has been anything but quiet, with retirements, betting controversies, and opening night matchups fueling headlines. John Wall officially retired after an injury-filled career that began with promise in Washington, while Derrick Rose will have his No. 1 jersey retired by the Chicago Bulls, honoring his MVP peak before injuries changed his trajectory. Off-court drama also made waves as Malik Beasley was cleared in a federal gambling investigation, reopening his free agency with interest from the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks. The case highlighted growing concerns over NBA betting integrity, with discussions about limiting unders on fringe players after scandals involving Jonte Porter. Opening night brings high drama. The Oklahoma City Thunder, fresh off their championship, host the Houston Rockets, who now feature Kevin Durant in a stunning return to OKC. Oddsmakers list the Thunder as 6.5-point favorites, backed by continuity, elite net rating, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP form. Analysts expect Durant and Jalen Green to thrive in Houston but caution that defensive chemistry will take time after trading away Dillon Brooks. The second marquee game pits the Golden State Warriors against the Los Angeles Lakers. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler headline a Warriors roster built on stability, while the Lakers counter with Luka Doncic alongside LeBron James at age 41. Experts argue Golden State is undervalued, pointing to their cohesion and defensive strength compared to the Lakers' questionable fit and reliance on Luka's offense. Debate then shifted to overrated and underrated stars entering the 2025–26 season. Anthony Edwards, despite highlight dunks and hype, was criticized for inconsistency, limited playmaking, and average defense in key playoff series. Trae Young's efficiency, turnovers, and defensive liability made him another overrated pick, while LeBron James was called statistically brilliant yet less impactful on winning at this stage of his career. Ja Morant's injuries and lack of reliable shooting lowered his stock, and even fan-favorite Alex Caruso was labeled overrated due to inflated advanced metrics. On the underrated side, Joel Embiid was deemed far too low on rankings despite injury concerns, still a dominant force when healthy. Orlando's Franz Wagner was praised for versatility, scoring, and leadership alongside Paolo Banchero, positioning him as a rising top-15 talent. Jalen Williams of the Thunder was highlighted as a two-way star capable of being more than a Robin, while Bam Adebayo's defense and potential offensive leap could transform Miami. Even Steph Curry, though widely respected, was argued to remain underrated for the way he elevates teammates. The podcast closed with betting insights. The Los Angeles Clippers were recommended at -8 over the rebuilding Utah Jazz, given depth, continuity, and elite defense led by Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Another best bet circled the Toronto Raptors +6 against the Atlanta Hawks, citing Brandon Ingram's addition, improved depth, and Atlanta's poor record as home favorites. As the 2025–26 season approaches, the NBA's mix of star power, betting intrigue, and opening-night storylines ensures drama on and off the court. From Durant's OKC return to debates over Edwards, Young, and Embiid, fans and bettors alike have plenty to watch. The association never sleeps, and this season promises to be another defining chapter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 94 WIP Morning Show continues as Joe DeCamara shares his thoughts on last week's in-depth ESPN feature on Joel Embiid. The piece explores Embiid's mindset and his evolving relationship with the Sixers. Can the organization repair things with its superstar? The team weighs in — plus, more debate on the NFL All-Century Team.

An extraordinary piece courtesy of ESPN.com sheds quite a bit of light on the Joel Embiid situation, including the fact that he finds it hard to let others into his inner circle. And, since it's a day that ends in Y, we discuss yet another injury to Sixers' player. Thankfully, the wrestling this past weekend was GOOD, and Kyle Schwarber saved the All-Star game thanks to his trio of moonshots.

The 94 WIP Morning team is letting the Joel Embiid article that came out a few days ago from ESPN marinate. Tom Kelly doesn't think this was beneficial for the team or Joel Embiid- he thinks this may have been a 'soft trade request.' Jon Ritchie feels the same saying maybe this is a sign that Joel is throwing out that he's sick of being here. Devan Kaney doesn't think it's a trade request and feels stuck- she feels this is an explanation for what Embiid has been through.

The 94 WIP Morning Show wonders if the Joel Embiid article released a few days ago was released purposefully at that time. Tom Kelly, in for Joe DeCamara, and Jon Ritchie wonder if this is a 'soft trade request' from Embiid. Listen to see if Tom Kelly can win in Beat the Kelly!

The 94 WIP Morning team, with Tom Kelly in for Joe DeCamara, and Jon Ritchie is excited for the Phillies to start their second half of their season tonight. Do you believe this Phillies team can win the World Series? What kinds of moves might the Phillies make at the approaching MLB trade deadline? After digesting the Joel Embiid article that came out, the Show thinks Embiid may either be expressing his disdain for the situation he's in, or ‘soft requesting' a trade. They believe Embiid is still at fault for his actions, citing the fact that the younger Tyrese Maxey needed to call him out last season. Eagles fans should not forget about the impact Jihaad Campbell has the potential to make when he returns from injury, hopefully early in the season. Side-topic: who or what has gotten caught?

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers discuss the NBA season that has wrapped up. Free agent moves and much more. Kevin Durant's Arrival in Houston (1:45–9:11) Durant was acquired for Green and a pick, with minimal downgrade to rotation. Mackenzie assigned a +3 point net value to Houston, projecting a 58-win season via Pythagorean models. Houston now features elite coaching (Ime Udoka) and depth across positions. Denver Nuggets Strengthen (14:57–20:38) Cam Johnson, Bruce Brown, and a potential Valanciunas deal enhance Jokic's support. Mackenzie noted improved flexibility and defense. Despite Vegas favoring them less in regular season, they're top-tier playoff contenders. Milwaukee Bucks Crisis (24:13–29:18) Dame waived for financial and personal reasons. Miles Turner signs for $107M but doesn't replace Lopez's defense. Mackenzie ranks them 20th in power ratings despite Vegas' 40:1 title odds. Janis likely to be traded soon. Lakers Sign DeAndre Ayton (33:31–37:25) Ayton brings personality and effort concerns. His 18% rim contest rate is worst among centers. Despite teaming up with Luka/LeBron, Mackenzie predicts defensive issues. Projects 43.5 wins, lower than market's 46.5. LeBron's Decision (37:26–42:08) He picks up $53M player option but keeps future open. Trade to GS for Jimmy Butler floated. Lakers prioritize future cap space over winning now—frustrating for LeBron's timeline. Knicks Coaching & Continuity (44:49–47:54) Mike Brown seen as a lateral move from Thibs. Knicks kept core roster and added bench depth.
