It's Friday, which means Rob Jenners, Robert Horry, and B-Dog are back to clear the table on everything that didn't make it into Tuesday's show. Episode 138 of the Shoot Around goes hard on KD's revisionist history, the top NBA salaries heading into next season, and a rapid-fire rumor mill that covers LeBron, Ja Morant, the Knicks' title defense, and what San Antonio needs to stay dangerous.   First up: Kevin Durant went on a Barstool podcast this week and tried to explain why he left OKC for Golden State back in 2016 — claiming the Warriors were basically underdogs when he showed up. The guys are not buying it. At all. Rob runs through the receipts: 73-9, the 67-win season before that, the title, the back-to-back three-point records. Big Shot Bob's verdict? KD just be talking.   Then it's a quick trivia spin on the top 10 NBA salaries going into next year. Steph Curry sits at number one at $62.5 million — at 38 years old. The guys try to fill in the rest of the list: Jokic, Tatum, AD, Giannis, Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Devin Booker, KAT, and Jimmy Butler round it out. Luka, for the record, is not on it.   From there it's rumor mill time. Is Ja Morant actually movable, or does that $42 million contract scare everyone off? How long before LeBron makes a call — and does he go back to the Lakers, consider Cleveland, or is there an outside shot he links up with Giannis in Miami? The Knicks just won a title but James Dolan's already drawing a line at the second apron, which means Clarkson, Robinson, and Shamet are probably all walking. And San Antonio: what exactly do the Spurs spend their $44 million in cap space on to get back to where they were in the Finals?   Harp floats Dwight Howard as a San Antonio option. Rob closes his laptop. The show pretty much ends itself from there.   New episodes of the Shoot Around drop every Friday.

On this episode, we put Jalen Brunson under the microscope and ask a simple question: at their absolute best, who would you rather have? Brunson goes head-to-head with Tyrese Haliburton, Jimmy Butler, Kyrie Irving, Damian Lillard, Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Jayson Tatum, Luka Doncic, and Chris Paul as we debate where the Knicks superstar truly belongs among the elite. Plus, we break down the eight MLB contenders that should be pushing all their chips in for Tarik Skubal, and examine which teams make the most sense as trade partners. We also go through every major National League and American League contender with a Why They Win, Why They Lose outlook heading into the stretch run, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses that could define October. Finally, we shift to the NFL and rank our top 10 offenses and top 10 defenses entering the season, including some surprise risers and a few powerhouse teams that could dominate on both sides of the ball. From Brunson's place among NBA stars to MLB playoff races and NFL rankings, this episode covers it all. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
