Cavs reporter Chris Fedor joins Lima and Nick Pedone to unpack new reporting that LeBron James's camp met with Cavs ownership and front office in Akron in early July, and explains why Shams Charania chose to keep that meeting private. Fedor argues the decision ultimately came down to basketball fit, since LeBron would have been a non-shooting third option playing heavy defensive minutes alongside Evan Mobley and Jarrett Allen, while Philadelphia offered a cleaner roster fit and a shot at becoming the first player to win championships with four different franchises. He also addresses the Cavs' quiet offseason, confirming the Mario Hezonja signing is still expected to go through despite Real Madrid interest, and says the front office's refusal to trade Evan Mobley has limited their ability to make a bigger splash, though moves involving Jonathan Kaminga or Peyton Watson remain possible.

0:00 - The brand-new Broncos training facility/headquaters is officially open and it's GORGEOUS. The media and players were all star-struck at camp yesterday.

It's officially Super Bowl or Bust time.18:36 - What do the Nuggets want in return for Peyton Watson? According to Shams, Denver's had to shift their asking price a bit.33:45 - Last night's Rockies game followed a very predictable trajectory. Starting pitching was servicable, and offense was good enough to build a lead. Then the bullpen couldn't throw a friggin strike. At least the Rockies are showing signs of progress this year. They're actually staying competitive in games before they blow it, as opposed to last year when they never had a lead to blow.

Aside from Bo Nix's ankle, what are the storylines that we'll be following?35:05 - Ohio State is adding a JPMorganChase patch to all of its jerseys, which will net the university roughly $17 million per year in NIL money.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into Bo Nix and the Broncos after Nix came out at number 58 on the NFL's top-100 players list today. We hear from his teammates, competitors, and football analysts on what makes Nix so special and why he is deserving of his ranking. Is Nix still an underrated athlete compared to the other quarterbacks in the NFL? Does Nix still have residual "hate" from not liking him as a prospect coming out of college? Today's "Three Count" features a recap of Spain's dominant performance in a 1-0 win over Argentina to win the World Cup, NFL players pushing for all these NFL stadiums to keep the real grass they put in for the World Cup, and all the weird events and "bits" Tom Brady was a part of this weekend at Fanatics Fest. We debate where LeBron James will sign in free agency and when we think he will make his decision. We also react to Michael Porter Jr. recruiting Peyton Watson to Brooklyn. How much will Watson's contract end up being worth? Will it be more than Christian Braun's contract from last offseason? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil finish their conversation on Peyton Watson and how concerned they are about the sample size of playing well. We pivot to the Buffs and react to ESPN's FPI analytics predicted winning probability in each of their games this season. With only being favorites in 4 of their games, would a 4-8 season be considered successful? We react to ESPN building the best starting lineup in the NFL with only backup players. Who is the Broncos' best backup player, and could he step in to a starting role? What is the most likely for the Broncos between JK Dobbins going for 1,000 yards, Courtland Sutton going for 1,000 yards, Jaylen Waddle going for 1,000 yards, Nik Bonitto getting 15 sacks, and Evan Engram going for 800 yards? We react to Hunter Goodman's three-home run performance from Sunday, as he becomes the first Rockies player to have multiple games with three home runs in a season. Could he set the NL record for home runs by a catcher? What kind of haul could the Rockies get if they decided to trade Goodman before the trade deadline this year?

For the second hour of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, John Davis and Chad Andrus discuss the Nuggets' quiet free agency and Peyton Watson's future as a Nugget. Chad explains why the Nuggets have been paralyzed during this offseason and it may be a bad sign for the rest of Jokic's prime. The guys answer an “Is It Just Me” about Peyton Watson. Is there any scenario with him that will leave everybody happy? ESPN polled the decision makers around the NFL about the top safeties in the league... both of the Broncos' guys ranked in the bottom third. Is this a case of more disrespect for the Broncos or just splitting hairs?

In hour three of Stokely and Evans with Mark Schlereth, John Davis and Chad Andrus sort through a thought exercise put together by Bill Barnwell assigning pick compensation to players on every NFL roster. Is Bo's valuation fair? What's with Barnwell's price tag on Drake Maye? Is winning enough anymore, or do style points outweigh wins? John and Chad update us on the latest in the ongoing Peyton Watson contract standoff. The guys wrap up the third hour talking about the way the 2nd Apron has affected how teams in the NBA can build, how it’ll affect contract talks moving forward, and how it has killed a championship window for the Nuggets.

In hour 2 of The Drive, Zach and Phil go down a rabbit hole debating Bo Nix and his standing in the NFL. Does Drake Maye get too much love compared to Bo Nix? What does Nix do better than Caleb Williams? What more does Bo Nix need to do to be ranked higher going into next season? Would we swap Nix for any of Williams, Maye, or Jayden Daniels? Does Nix's situation with a great defense and head coach hurt him in these kinds of polls? Today's "Three Count" includes if we're concerned with Mike Klis putting it at a 70% chance the Broncos are still on track for 2031 at Burnham Yard for their next stadium, Spain beating France to move on to the World Cup Final, and Macklin Celebrini becoming the youngest athlete to ever be on the cover of an EA NHL video game. We break down the Peyton Watson situation with the Nuggets. Are we buying the interest reported about multiple teams in Watson? Would the Nuggets actually match a big offer sheet offered to Watson? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on Peyton Watson. We react to The Athletic giving the Nuggets the worst offseason grade in the NBA, a D-. What teams have the cap space to offer Watson a big-time contract? Could we see the Nuggets entertain a sign-and-trade for Watson? Do the Nuggets have their sights set on getting under the luxury tax for the upcoming season? We react to Courtland Sutton coming in at number 68 on the NFL's top 100 list. With all the criticism within Denver, is Sutton disrespected within his own town? Is Waddle getting too much love for being the "new guy in town"? Are we sure Sutton will take a backseat to Jaylen Waddle? Will Sutton end up in the Broncos Ring of Fame at the end of his career? We debate if we are too close to the Broncos to give a fair assessment of Bo Nix? Why is Nix so far down on ESPN's scouts, coaches, and executives poll as well as PFF's rankings of NFL quarterbacks? 

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil continue their conversation on Bo Nix and the Broncos. How is Nix viewed compared to the other quarterbacks from his draft class? We dive into Seth Wickersham's article detailing his time with Sean Payton. How difficult is it to work on Payton's coaching staff? Does Payton have those same obsessive qualities as the greats like Michael Jordan and Tom Brady? We pivot to the Nuggets and the Peyton Watson situation. Would the Nuggets be willing to match a big contract offer sheet offered to Watson? Are the Nuggets waiting to see where LeBron James signs with a team to unload salary? What teams have the cap space to offer Watson a big-time contract? What options does Watson have moving forward in restricted free agency? We wrap up the show with Zach sharing his pick of Hunter Goodman to win the MLB All-Star Game MVP tonight.

In hour 3 of The Drive, Phil and Will debate if Von Miller will be in the NFL next season and what team he will play for. Could the Broncos use a guy like Miller if Jonathan Cooper is suspended or cut from the Broncos? How much does Miller still have in the tank? We react to Zach Allen coming in at number 73 of the NFL's top 100 players. Is Allen somehow still underrated? Who else from the Broncos are we expecting to be on the list? How will the Rockies approach the MLB trade deadline? Will we continue to see a new era of Rockies baseball under Walker Monfort's leadership? We react to the latest with NBA free agency, in which Peyton Watson's situation may be greatly impacted by the NBA stepping in on the Kawhi Leonard trade.

What is the motivation behind Nikola Jokic waiting till next season to sign his contract extension? 

On the latest Mortcast Jeff talks about how the Nuggets cap situation, their lack of movement in free agency despite having only 10 players under contract and the haggling with Peyton Watson has left them frozen.
