Richie Carni and Brandon Stokley open today’s show talking about the best thing they saw all weekend between the Rockies drafting Ethan Holliday to the Wimbledon champaign incident. The Valanciunas deal is complete and Richie may have to watch his back as Greek public enemy #1. One deal is done but two key deals are still in limbo for the Broncos, is it time to start worrying about the Broncos’ unsigned rookies? Richie and Stoke begin the Daily Top 5: Sports Rants to end the first hour.
In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to ESPN’s list of top 10 offensive tackles in the NFL. With Garrett Bolles and Mike McGlinchy not making the list or honorable mentions, should they feel disrespected? We dive into the trend of many NFL second round picks not having signed their rookie contracts yet including Broncos second round pick, RJ Harvey. How will veteran players view rookies “holding out” without playing a down of NFL football yet? The Nuggets trade for Jonas Valanciunas finally went through over the weekend and yet we still have uncertainty if he will play for the Nuggets this season. Should the Nuggets play hard ball with Valanciunas and make him honor his contract in the NBA? We look at one of the best defenses in NFL history in the ’84 Bears and question if the Broncos can match or better the all-time sack record.
On the latest Mortcast, Jeff talks about the Jonas Valanciunas trade being official. Unfortunately that doesn't mean the saga is over but it does mean that he is now officially a member of the Denver Nuggets. In the second half Jeff talks about LeBron James and his very public frustration over his inability to direct the Lakers moves and how that is playing out publicly. Enjoy the show!
David Adelman made some, uh, interesting comments about Jonas Valanciunas and his role with the Nuggets during Summer League game one. Jeff talks about that and Cam Johnson's perfect 'fit' with the Nuggets and how it's probably more about defensive dexterity than it is offensive fit. Enjoy the show!
00:00 Cross talk.19:40 Spring is in with Nate, Avs extend Manson, Deion Sanders' health.41:15 Nuggets Summer league and Valanciunas Watch.
Valanciunas ready to come to Denver? No Dumb Questions
In hour 4 of The Drive, Phil and Richie dive into the Broncos and if Bo Nix will be trending upward this season. How confident are the guys in the Broncos offensive weapons as we head into the season? Is there room for Vele, Harvey, Mims and Franklin to grow into legitimate roles on the Broncos offense? What is the latest in the Nuggets and Jonas Valanciunas saga? Is Valanciunas’ desire to play in Europe have more to do with a non-guaranteed contract in 2026-2027? What are Valanciunas’ priorities when it comes to him wanting to play in Europe instead of Denver next season? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joining the show to discuss the Avalanche’s offseason moves. With a slow start to free agency, will the Avs still make a splashy move?
In hour 2 of The Drive, Phil and Richie react to Jonas Valanciunas’ comments on potentially being a member of the Nuggets. Is Valanciunas not appreciating the opportunity he has of playing on an NBA championship contender and playing with the best player in the world? What are Valanciunas’ priorities when it comes to him wanting to play in Europe instead of the Nuggets next season? Today’s “Three Count” features the MLB using the ABS system for challenges in the All-Star game, Abdul Carter having a very interesting signature, and TSA announcing they will no longer require passengers to take off their shoes while going through security. We react to Coach Prime’s comments from Big 12 media day today. What should the expectations be for the Buffs this season and how will Deion handle his first quarterback competition in Juju Lewis and Kaidon Salter?
0:00 - Can we stop it with these dumb "aerodynamic" bike helmets that are all pointy and stupid looking? Do they really give you an advantage at all? Also, Vic has some more info about the (alleged) new location of the Broncos stadium.18:54 - A top EuroHoops website used a quote from Vic Lombardi in an article about the whole Valanciunas situation. But they misinterpreted his quote and claimed he said something he didn't actually say. Plus, they didn't appreciate our sarcastic tone.34:26 - Tamar Bates, one of the newest Nuggets, is a lifelong Chiefs fan. Can he swallow his pride and root for the Broncos while he's in Denver? Also, let's take the Valaniunas situation to the Altitude Sports Radio Court. Honorable Judge Brett Kane presiding. We need a ruling once and for all.
0:00 - We're gettin' the band back together! Tyler and Scotty are back on the show. What do they think of everything that's happened to the Nuggets in the past week or so?16:00 - Our real enemy in the Valanciunas fight isn't Greece as a whole. It isn't Lithuania. So who is it?35:08 - The Nuggets completely overhauled their coaching staff after the new Brain Trust took office. Are we surprised by that at all? Should we be?
0:00 - All the Nuggets trade deadline deals are officially official. The MPJ trade has processed. Brucey B is back in town. The only deal left, the only domino that hasn't fallen...is the Valanciunas for Saric trade. 19:43 - Let's Football Go! If PSII makes the USA Olympic Flag Football Squad, will you watch?31:03 - Yesterday, Warren Schaeffer made some boneheaded mistakes and lost DMac's support. He's officially back to being Bud Black 2.0.

In hour 4 of The Drive, Zach and Phil take a deep dive into the Broncos history at tight end since 2015. Will the addition of Evan Engram be the solution the Broncos have been looking for at tight end? Will Engram be able to top Noah Fant’s production from the early 2000’s? We react to the latest with Jonas Valanciunas and the Nuggets. What did Valanciunas have to say about the situation, and could the Nuggets have a better option at back-up big? We have NBA news as Bradley Beal intends to sign with the Clippers after being waived by the Suns. Does this move change the guys’ opinion of the Clippers? We wrap up the show with DenverSports.com’s Will Petersen joining the show to discuss Jokic not signing an extension with the Nuggets this offseason and what we can expect from Deion Sanders at Big 12 media day tomorrow.
0:00 ... Open animation ... Ross Geiger welcome and introduces co-hosts Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer. 0:33 ... Show #164 is dedicated to Phoenix guards Jalen Green and Bradley Beal, both of whom stand 6-4. 0:52 ... Norman Powell is traded to Miami, John Collins is traded to the Clippers, and Kevin Love and Kyle Anderson go to Utah ... we'll discuss the deal from the perspective of all three teams. Everyone agrees that Miami won this trade. 6:37 ... Kevin Durant is finally in Houston after an historic 7 team trade. Besides the Rockets and Suns, five other teams get spare parts and second round picks while Houston moves closer to OKC in the west and Phoenix "embraces the rebuild." 9:58 ... The Rockets made another significant trade, sending Cam Whitmore to Washington where he will have a chance to play near his Maryland home. The Wizards have made some bold moves and Bruce thinks they may be this year's version of the Pistons who could double their win total of 18 from last season. 14:28 ... What is Bradley Beal's future in Phoenix? Bruce thinks he could be a dynamic 6th man for a good team since whichever team picks him up after his buyout in Phoenix will not be paying him max money since Phoenix will be paying most of his salary. 20:53 ... The Pacers lost Myles Turner, who signed with Milwaukee as a free agent but they acquired Jay Huff from Memphis. Standing 7-1, he's not a great shot blocker or rebounder but makes 40% of his three point attempts. It will be his 5th team in 5 seasons. 24:02 ... Paolo Banchero signed a huge rookie max extension on Monday with Orlando for 5 years and almost $240 million. There will be great expectations with all Orlando's young stars signed to long-term deals. 26:22 ... Jaxson Hayes re-signs with the Lakers after being benched in the 2025 playoffs which is somewhat surprising. Will he have a good relationship with LA coach JJ Redick? It should be an interesting storyline moving forward. 29:46 ... The Knicks have officially locked up Mike Brown as their next head coach. Everyone likes the hire and his style should work well with a mature veteran team that won't mind being challenged. 32:07 ... Summer League action is underway and some of the young guys are impressing everyone right out of the gate. VJ Edgecombe of Philly scored 28 in his debut and could make an immediate impact for the 76ers. Ace Bailey of Utah had an uneven debut but showed ability at both ends of the court. 36:33 ... Nikola Topic of OKC finally made his debut on Saturday and had 14 points against Memphis. Finding minutes as a rookie with the defending champs won't be easy, but Topic has the goods to make it in the NBA. 39:08 .... The Memphis Grizzlies have a loaded Summer League roster with three rotation players participating. Ross predicts they'll be the Summer League champions. 42:31 ... It's time for the Classic Card Challenge where Bruce pulls random cards of former players and quizzes Ross and World B. Those dudes show serious knowledge and a great sense of NBA history. 51:05 ... Final Thoughts ..... Bruce on Jonas Valanciunas, who was traded from New Orleans to Denver but is trying to bolt for a Euroleague team in Greece. Bruce has always admired Valanciunas but this move shows that winning an NBA title just isn't that important to him. 52:26 ... World B on James Wiseman, who signed a one year deal with Indiana after missing last season with an achilles injury. World B is rooting for him in his comeback. 54:03 ... Ross feels the Las Vegas Summer League will be spectacular this month. 54:56 ... Ross says goodbye TRT 55:10
0:00 - Come on, man. Why haven't we heard anything about Valanciunas yet? This song and dance is getting tired.16:35 - What are some of the greatest sports empires in history?33:28 - Is Bo Nix a legit dark horse candidate for MVP? What would it take for Bo to get there?
0:00 - What are some of the most iconic venues/arenas/stadiums in sports history? Which ones have we visited?17:58 - Why is it so hard to get info from Lithuania? We can't figure out what's happening over there? Can someone get Lithuania on the line?34:51 - Valanciunas' decision doesn't just affect the Nuggets. It'll affect the NBA as a whole. If he's allowed to dip for Greece, it'll set a precedent for how we handle contracts.
00:00 Katy Winge is in with Nate talking Valanciunas and Nuggets.20:00 Get to know Katy.40:30 Nikola Jokic won't signing an extension yet.
0:00 - Realistically, why would Valanciunas choose to play in Greece over Denver? How should the Nuggets front office handle his issue?25:15 - Let's Football Go! How good are the Broncos' offensive weapons? Also, Joe Burrow had to delay his plans to purchase...the Batmobile?41:03 - Let's play a new game show that DMac created. It's called "Tell Me When I Lose You."
0:00 - Valanciunas finally addressed the Nuggets situation at a basketball conference in Lithuania. Maybe it's the language barrier's fault but his comments created more confusion than clarity. 16:36 - The Avalanche hired Dave Hakstol as an assistant coach, ostensibly to take over power play responsibilities. He also was the first head coach of the Seattle Kraken, aka the coach that beat the Avs in the first round back in 2023...37:47 - No Dumb Questions! Let's dig deep into the cycling world and the Tour de France...or Tour de FRAHNCE if you're DMac.
0:00 - We came up with a flashy new nickname for Valanciunas. Is it fair and accurate?16:11 - "I'd take a rabid sewer rat sitting on the bench in a cage over this guy!" Who on earth was Moser talking about this morning and why?38:53 - Tamar Bates of your Denver Nuggets joined us today to discuss his long journey to the NBA & preview Summer League. More importantly, we have to address the elephant in the room. Tamar is from Missouri. And he's a lifelong HUGE Chiefs fan.
Brian Windhorst is joined by ESPN's Tim Bontemps and Tim MacMahon to discuss the summer league debuts for Ace Bailey vs. V. J. Edgecombe including some impressive flashes and where there is still a lot of room for growth before talking if the Lakers should be concerned about Knecht's struggles. Then, the guys talk why Valanciunas' deal with Denver has slowed, the most interesting players still available, Kyrie's interesting comments and why the NBA cap had a massive change for the league.

Mike Evans and Brandon Stokley with Mark Schlereth enter the third hour wondering if the Nuggets just opened themselves up to a locker room cancer after strong-arming Jonas Valanciunas to honor his contract. They discuss whether Mahomes is still the boogeyman or if he has fallen back to the QB pack. We get story time with Stink featuring a brand-new story about a M.O.B. during his vacation cruise. They have a very relaxed James Merilatt on to get his thoughts on the Nuggets’ free agent moves, the Valanciunas situation, bad contracts, and impending deals for the Broncos to finish the third hour.
Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Aniello and Danny. The guys discuss the ongoing story of Jonas Valanciunas reportedly wanting to return to Europe to play basketball and not honoring his contract with the Nuggets. Will the Nuggets be the “nice guy” and allow Valanciunas to play in Europe? Zach and Phil recap their 4th of July weekend. How bad of a loss would Valanciunas be for the Nuggets’ second unit? We pivot to the Broncos and Zach asks if John Franklin-Meyers is an underrated and underpaid player that the team should be looking to keep in Denver. If the Zach and Phil were the GM of the Broncos, which looming contract extensions would they prioritize?
In hour 3 of The Drive, Zach and Phil react to the first batch of the NFL’s top 100 player rankings. Zach Allen was featured in the #90-100 list, is this disrespectful and should he have been ranked higher? We dive into the odd situation between the recently added Jonas Valanciunas and the Nuggets. What is the likelihood that Valanciunas does not play for the Nuggets this season and instead in Europe, as he reportedly wants to? Does Valanciunas have any leverage over the organization for the Nuggets to allow him to play overseas? What do the guys make of Myles Garrett advocating for Joe Flacco to be the starter in Cleveland over Shedeur Sanders? We wrap up the hour with the Broncos and Zach asks if John Franklin-Meyers is an underrated and underpaid player that the team should be looking to keep in Denver.
On the latest Mortcast Jeff talks about a Greek article that just came out about how Valanciunas Lithuanian agent might have made things worse than they should have been. Also Jeff talks about how the job of Jokic's back up might be an extremely thankless job for a center in the NBA. Referenced article: https://www.sdna.gr/mpasket/1328173_i-alitheia-gia-balantsioynas-i-eggyisi-apodesmeysis-i-stasi-toy-panathinaikoy-kai Enjoy the show!
0:00 - It's Summer Sports Radio, baby! That means it's time for some piping hot lists. Berto found a list that ranked the greatest NFL draft picks of all time at each spot (Greatest #1 pick ever, #2 pick ever, etc). Who is the greatest #1 overall pick of all time?15:25 - We need some clarity from the Valanciunas camp ASAP. Does he want to win here with Jokic or not? But it has to come directly from the source. 31:43 - Even though the Rockies suck, they still packed Coors Field over the 4th of July Weekend against the garbage White Sox! Turns out, an embarrassingly bad season won't keep people away from 20th and Blake. Also, Kris Bryant's back has gone from bad to worse. Will he ever step foot on a baseball diamond again?
0:00 - Vic keeps finding snakes in his house. Yikes. Why'd it have to be snakes? Also, why would Jonas Valanciunas choose to play basketball in Greece instead of the NBA?18:02 - The NFL is releasing their annual Top 100 list, and Zach Allen came in at #90. If he's the 90th best player in the NFL, you're gonna have to pay him, right? PAY him.33:36 - A Texas Tech player signed a 3-year FULLY GUARANTEED NIL DEAL. Yet again, the line between college sports and pro sports continues to blur.
0:00 - Coach Sanford joins the show for a segment. He spent the 4th of July in Steamboat Springs and saw Michael Malone up there! What did Coach say to Coach?16:33 - Jonas Valanciunas is a Nugget. Or is he? Supposedly, he'd rather play for Panathinaikos in Greece. 34:14 - Darren McKee: not a fireworks guy. Sworn enemy of fireworks guy.
0:00 - Warren Schaeffer is capable of giving his players...actual real constructive criticism after a game? Huh...we don't remember that from the Bud Black days.18:19 - DMac expresses more anger towards fireworks guy. Then, speaking of anger, what's the general feeling surrounding the Valanciunas situation? Are we mad at him? Should we be?37:11 - The only dumb question is the one you don't ask. It's time for No Dumb Questions.
0:00 - DMac cares about the Rockies. A lot. Like, A LOT a lot. Why? Why should anyone care about this team?15:55 - Let's Football Go: is Zach Allen ranked too low in the NFL's Top 100 list?40:15 - Jonas Valanciunas paid a visit to Greece. Now he's in Lithuania for a conference. Where there's smoke...is there fire? Should we be concerned?

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. Mackenzie makes them East favorites until Garland returns fully for Cavs. Magic Breakout Prediction (51:56–56:43) Desmond Bane and Jalen Suggs boost perimeter threat. Age curve and returns from injury forecast >50 wins. Mackenzie places them #2 in East behind the Cavs, calling them a regular-season powerhouse. Dallas Mavericks Evaluation (57:30–1:00:58) Kyrie's uncertain return hurts projection. Additions like DLo and Anthony Davis strengthen floor but limit ceiling. Mackenzie projects 39–41 wins, making them a fringe play-in team. Philadelphia 76ers Uncertainty (1:00:58–1:04:52) Despite roster similarity to last year, health of Embiid/PG makes projections volatile. Embiid played only 19 games last season. Munaf leans under; Mackenzie says to wait for in-season evidence. Closing Thoughts & Summer League Preview (1:06:32–1:07:53) Hosts close with excitement for Summer League and reflection on rapid offseason changes. Mackenzie teases potential picks and returns for more Summer League coverage. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
