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

On today’s Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the crew dives into four gripping headlines that reflect the highs and lows of fame and influence. First, Atlanta rapper Cash Out was sentenced to life in prison—plus an additional 70 years—for rape, aggravated sodomy, sex trafficking, and RICO violations.

Kelvin Washington and a slew of various co-hosts tell us if it's fair to call Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder are a 'boring' champion, debate whether it's fair to say that people will remember Tyrese Haliburton's playoff run more favorably than OKC actually winning the title, share their thoughts on LeBron James calling for the NBA to institute a criteria for the NBA MVP award, and debate whether it's fair to suggest that the Dallas Mavericks can be both 'win-now' and 'win-later' during the Cooper Flagg era.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Former NFL safety and FOX Sports Radio weekend host Kerry Rhodes is in for Rob, and he and Kelvin tell us why MLB deserves a round of applause for the way they handled that Ketel Marte heckler, tell us why Paul George is wrong when he says that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just had arguably the greatest season ever by a guard, and go head-to-head in this week's edition of Teichert's Tower of Trivia.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
One week of summer workouts down, seven more to go for the Kentucky Wildcats. The Joe Craft Center is the home of one of the deepest rosters in college basketball competing at the highest level ahead of the 2025-26 season, and now, intel is starting to roll in highlighting some of the early standouts. Who looks the part? Sources Say breaks it down while also rolling through USA Basketball leftovers from Colorado Springs, Tay Kinney's official visit to Lexington, the practice gym redesign with denim and understanding the assignment, players donating $40K to tornado relief efforts, the SEC schedule release for the Cats, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Cason Wallace winning the NBA Finals and previewing this week's NBA Draft. Essentially, every major piece of news over the last week is covered in detail this week on Sources Say — and we have a great time doing it.
Kevin Durant was traded to the Houston Rockets. The Rockets have a lot of young guys, so if they do not win in this window, at least the window to win will be bigger. Jalen Green is not that guy right now, trading him was the right decision. The Miami Heat were finalists in the KD trade, but with Kel'el Ware and Nikola Jovic declared untouchables, was Miami really serious about this trade or were they appeasing their fan base? Plus, which teams in the East are going to see this season as a chance to go all in? Will Pistons be able to replicate OKC's success with Cade Cunningham instead of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? The Hawks have Trae Young, but will he stay in Atlanta? The Milwaukee Bucks need a co-star for Giannis Antetokounmpo... should they go after Jalen Green? Learn more about your ad choices.

It was a winning week for Gen-Z athletes in basketball. Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd finally hard-launched their relationship on Instagram after months of speculation. Then, the Oklahoma City Thunder won the NBA Championship with an average roster age of 24.7. Subtract a couple of pandemic years (girl math), and they're basically 22. Their post-win celebration? Let's just say it reflected their age. In this episode of Well Played, we also cover: The only woman who could get Stephen A. Smith to… stop talking How Sophie Cunningham stood on business — and what it reveals about WNBA reffing Tom Brady proving yet again that he's the GOAT at Fanatics Fest How Kylie Kelce plans to help Dawn Staley's post-coaching dreams come true Shai Gilgeous-Alexander shows why he's league *and* dad MVP after Game 7 Blake's IG: @blaaakkkke Caroline's IG: @cghendy theSkimm's IG: @theskimm PS: Did you know theSkimm has a sports newsletter?

The OKC Thunder are your 2024-2025 NBA Champions! But before we crown this young OKC squad, we've got to discuss Tyrese Haliburton's Achilles tear that took him out just 7 minutes into Game 7. Will this be the injury that convinces teams to sit players with calf injuries? Obi Toppin, who scored zero points, vulnerably admitted Hali's injury kept him distracted. Pascal Siakam was a ghost out there and the coaches were shell shocked. Meanwhile, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander stabilized his side and etched his name in the history books. For OKC, learning as they went along was not just limited to basketball, they also learned how to pop champagne correctly!
