On today’s episode, Jason discusses the ramifications of Jonathan Kuminga taking a lesser deal to sign with the Minnesota Timberwolves rather than joining forces with Luka Doncic for more money from the Los Angeles Lakers, why it's clear that Jerry Jones is to blame for the Dallas Cowboys' ongoing Super Bowl drought, and the narrative that Shedeur Sanders could wash out of the NFL entirely after losing the Cleveland Browns QB1 gig to Deshaun Watson. #FSR Follow Jason on Twitter and Instagram.

On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse and Justin Cousart, Kevin is joined by Andy Jordan this week to first discuss James Harden's return to Cleveland on a 3-year deal. Why this deal felt inevitable and if the Cavs can make another serious run at the East this season. Next, the guys dive into Klay Thompson's arrival in South Beach. Does Klay bring enough shooting to alleviate Miami's spacing concerns? Plus a look at where the Heat are expected to end up in the East and how they could improve their depth. Meanwhile out West, Jonathan Kuminga is headed to Minnesota on a 2-year deal and Demar DeRozan is headed to Denver. Can either the Wolves or Nuggets keep pace with the Thunder and Spurs this season? Also, a look at why Minnesota moving to the East would make sense if the NBA expands and Andy's Eats returns. Leave to the show wherever you get your podcasts and watch the show on YouTube!

Jonathan Kuminga chose the Timberwolves over the Lakers. Several things had to go wrong for this outcome and multiple things can be true at the same time. Anthony runs through those things, then he and Harrison discuss what this means.
The state of things isn't great. Not great at all. Anthony and Harrison discuss everything there is to discuss in this Kuminga decision, then turn their attention to Jeanie Buss, who made her priorities crystal clear by suing her siblings (again).
DISCLAIMER: This was recorded about an hour or so before Jonathan Kuminga agreed to a deal with the Timberwolves. So yeah, should be a funny listen at the least.Reports surfaced connecting Jonathan Kuminga to the Bulls and Anthony had enough. He rants and raves about how Kuminga's camp has handled all of this and how sick of it the league has become. Word also dropped that Jeanie Buss is suing her siblings. Good times. We're having fun. So much fun.
A little more reporting has dropped lately about the Kuminga situation, so Anthony rolls through it and launches into a rant about Kuminga and his camp not accepting reality.
After Anthony wrapped up the conversation about Kuminga, word dropped that Jeanie Buss has filed to remove her siblings from any decision-making capacity with the Lakers, a move that hammers home how unfit she is to continue as governor of the franchise.
D-Lo wraps up his conversation with James Ham then news of Jonathan Kuminga breaks.
Hour 3- CBS Sports' David Cobb on Big 10/SEC Taking a Stance Against 5 for 5 + The Blitz: Penny Speech to FB Team and Kuminga to TWolves
Steiny & Guru try to put a pin in the Jonathan Kuminga talk once and for all... We'll see if it holds.
After discussing the Clippers investigation(s), Anthony and Harrison turn their attention back to the Lakers, who are still waiting on Jonathan Kuminga. Let's just say this is the roster, though, then what? Also, should the Lakers have a walk-away point with Kuminga in these negotiations?
Anthony rejoins the show from his brother's sad bedroom and using his parents' shitty wifi. The result is thinly masked frustration over the Kuminga situation, an interesting rumor about Klay Thompson, Peyton Watson whispers and more.
Anthony checks back in from vacation to talk... Kuminga. See if you can sense his frustration.
Robert Horry is broadcasting this week's show from Reykjavik, Iceland, where he's running a basketball camp — and naturally, that means a special edition of Where in the World Is Robert Horry before the guys even get to basketball talk. Big Shot Bob and Rob Jenners hold things down while B-Dawg keeps him honest on the Iceland details (yes, it really is closer to England than you'd think). Once the travel talk wraps, the crew dives into a loaded NBA news week. The Dodgers' trade for Tarik Skubal has LA fans wondering if the Lakers can pull off something similar, but Rob Horry isn't buying a big splash — the roster's full and the pool to jump in is more kiddie-sized than Olympic. From there it's Klay Thompson trade buzz, with reports connecting him back to Los Angeles or Miami, and a real conversation about what he'd actually bring to a team defensively at this stage of his career. The extension talk gets serious with Steph Curry, Anthony Davis, and Karl-Anthony Towns all eligible for new deals — and the guys dig into whether AD's injury history and KAT's apron situation in New York make those moves less likely than people think. That leads into the biggest storyline of the week: is it actually time for Golden State to consider life after Steph? Horry and Harper break down the Warriors' rough draft history since 2012, why Jonathan Kuminga still doesn't have a landing spot, and what a real Steph Curry trade market might even look like. Plus: the Kawhi Leonard investigation drags into 2027, Victor Wembanyama gets his own signature Nike shoe, Chris Bosh reveals a scary health scare from earlier this year, Kelsey Plum gets traded to the Phoenix Mercury, and Kendrick Perkins' top-5-in-the-East list gets torched. All that, a big shout to a teenage lifeguard hero, and Robert Horry defending his Where in the World title from six thousand miles away.
Fear the 'Fro is back to talk about the Cavaliers pursuit of Peyton Watson and Jonathan Kuminga. Which player would fit better in the Cavs system? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How will the CBA rules shape the outcome of this pursuit? Bob Schmidt dives in, and then we clean out some mailbag submissions.

The Cleveland Cavaliers have officially signed Mario Hezonja! Also, let's talk the latest on the James Harden front as well as where Cleveland stands with potentially acquiring the likes of Peyton Watson & Jonathan Kuminga!
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.
Anthony updates the Jonathan Kuminga situation now that Mario Hezonja is back in the NBA and on one of the teams that was interested in Kuminga.
Lima and Lance react to Shams' report linking the Cavs to DeMar DeRozan and Klay Thompson, but Lima argues neither move addresses the real problem exposed in the playoffs: a lack of athletic wings, using OG Anunoby's ability to smother ball-handlers as the example of what Cleveland is missing. They debate whether Jonathan Kuminga is worth chasing despite two teams giving up on him, with Lima insisting his freak athleticism and playoff scoring upside outweigh his shooting limitations. The conversation turns to team-building philosophy, questioning whether Jarrett Allen still fits alongside Evan Mobley and whether the Cavs deserve more credit for how far they got despite a late-season shakeup with James Harden.
Jeff and Dan break down the Cavs' addition of Mario Hezonja, agreeing it's a solid but modest signing given his six-year absence from the NBA, and stress the team shouldn't lean on him as any kind of LeBron replacement. They still push for Jonathan Kuminga as the missing piece, though Phelps worries about overloading him offensively, and float alternatives like Jeremy Sochan or a trade for Trey Murphy to fix the roster's shooting problem on the wing. A caller named BP argues LeBron made a mistake picking Philadelphia given Joel Embiid's injury history, sparking pushback from the hosts who insist Embiid just needs to be healthy by the playoffs to make the Sixers a real threat.

Should the lakers trade for Jonathan Kuminga
Anthony and Harrison both think fans might be getting a little ahead of themselves with Adou Thiero. They discuss this and several other subjects by way of questions from the live audience.
Anthony welcomes Khobi Price back into The Lounge to discuss, well, you probably guessed already. Still, really fun and informative conversation with a pod favorite.
Carl and Mike get into some Hawks talk as they react to reports Jonathan Kuminga would be open to returning to the Hawks on a short-term deal, to which Carl explains why he believes the Hawks may not be interested as they would have to take on a Kuminga contract which would impact their financial flexibility they currently have, which currently has them positioned to add a "legitimate star" if they are seeking one.

Anthony welcomes Brad Rowland (Locked on Hawks) back into The Lounge to discuss this whole big dumb standoff between the Lakers, Hawks and Jonathan Kuminga. Why are we here in the first place? What are Kuminga's options? What are the Hawks looking for from all this?
Anthony reacts to the Lu Dort trade, which sends him east to the Hawks -- and the impact that move has on the west. He also explains how this move hammers home a concern he had with the Lakers' intentions going into this summer. He wraps with a Q&A after discussing this trade's impact on Jonathan Kuminga.
The Vegas Lakers have reminded Anthony of the kind of basketball he aligns most closely with, ideologically. He talks to Pete about this, what they've liked most about this run and whether it might set a tone for what will be expected of the Lakers next season. There's more Kuminga talk, a discussion about the '26 Summer Plan and a Q&A, too.
Anthony breaks down this whole Jonathan Kuminga by outlining which lies various parties are telling, as part of a lengthier Q&A session.
Anthony got some info recently about how the Lakers are using their summer league team that he thinks presents these games through a very different prism. He offers up that intel, gives his thoughts on the approach, then dives into a lengthy Q&A with the live audience that (of course) hit on the Jonathan Kuminga situation.
Anthony and Andy hold the second part of their home-and-home conversation (part 1 is on the Locked on Lakers feed). In part one, the guys had discussed Rob Pelinka finally committing to his own basketball ideologies. In this part, they discuss the ways they agree or disagree with that basketball vision.
Anthony explains why Kuminga's inability to fit into the Warriors culture stands out as a particularly red flag. From there, the guys start their talk about Vegas summer league by marveling at Cam Carr, who, wow.
Anthony and Raj rip through some of the reporting about Jonathan Kuminga. Raj analyzes the Lakers roster as it's come together. The guys preview Vegas Summer League, then wrap with a Q&A.

The guys discuss the Lakers' attempts at landing a starting power forward and the central figures in that search.
Anthony and Harrison both hate the fact that they have to legitimately hope the Lakers sign Jonathan Kuminga. With Rui Hachimura heading to the Clippers, this is where they find themselves now.
Anthony and Harrison react to Rui heading to the Clippers and how that means they have to pray the Lakers sign Jonathan Kuminga. They discuss some details from ESPN's reporting on the LeBron-Lakers split, then dive into the chat for a Q&A.
