Podcast appearances and mentions of walker kessler

Evan Bradds is returning to his alma mater, Belmont University, where he was a two-time AP All-American Honorable Mention and the program's all-time leading scorer during the Division I era. After his playing career, Bradds quickly rose through the coaching ranks, gaining experience at the highest levels of basketball and ultimately becoming the second-youngest head coach in Division I basketball. Now, he returns to Nashville with the opportunity to lead the program where he made his name. Bradds' coaching journey has taken him through some of the most respected organizations in basketball. Most recently at Duke, he was part of a team that won 35 games, while his NBA experience with the Boston Celtics and Utah Jazz gave him the opportunity to be instrumental in the development of players like Walker Kessler, Keyonte George, and Grant Williams. He also worked alongside some of the game's most respected coaches, including Joe Mazzulla, Brad Stevens, and Ime Udoka, experiences that have helped shape his approach as a coach. Bradds now takes over a Belmont program coming off an MVC Championship under Casey Alexander, with several key pieces returning and expectations remaining high. Belmont's tradition and consistent success have established a standard that Bradds will be expected to maintain, but his familiarity with the program and experience across basketball's highest levels make this a particularly exciting new era for the Bruins.

Hour 3 of Jake & Ben on August 11, 2026 Walker Kessler is seeing higher odds to win Defensive Player of the Year. Did he get better or is he just in LA? Hot Take Tuesday: Bring Back Hate in Sports, Don't Wear Jorts to the Golf Course Audio Vault: Jake's Fridge Sent a Voicemail to Clear Things Up

The Lakers gave up so much to acquire Walker Kessler that they have nothing now to address the gaping hole in their starting lineup. Anthony wonders whether there was another approach that may have kept some flexibility open and explain why he thinks Kessler is the biggest gamble in Lakers history.

Anthony thinks so. What do you think? Either way, Kessler can work out. The bar is going to be high, but he's talented enough to meet or even exceed it.

Martin Weiss and Zach Harper start off the show reacting to LeBron James' decision to join the 76ers and how it impacts the rest of the NBA. The guys discuss where the 76ers rank going into the season now with LeBron James, Jaylen Brown, Tyrese Maxey, and Joel Embiid and how the signing drastically affected the chances of the Cavaliers, Heat, and Pistons of winning the Eastern Conference. Martin and Zach debate whether or not the Lakers are in a better position without LeBron James after adding Walker Kessler, Quentin Grimes, and Colin Sexton before also discussing how the Warriors are a big loser in free agency after missing out on LeBron. The guys end the show asking themselves whether or not they can do ANYTHING better than pro athletes with news of Jake Paul targeting an NFL career.

Grant welcomes John Browner, Beav and Eric Lambkins II for a show that opens in full revolt: Bleacher Report's top 99 NBA defenders of all time has Draymond Green at No. 10 — ahead of Kawhi, Michael Jordan and Gary Payton — and the crew is not okay. John makes the case for Dennis Rodman as the greatest defender ever, E Lamb declares war on the Kobe-at-42 slander and plants a flag for Michael Cooper as the best Laker defender of all time, and the guys decide TST needs to build its own list. Then it's the new-look Lakers: has Rob Pelinka actually transformed the roster around Luka, or is he just looking busy when the boss walks by? The panel debates Walker Kessler as the whole plan's linchpin, Matisse Thybulle as a Marcus Smart-style reclamation, Cam Carr's defensive promise, and where the Lakers land in a loaded West — including John's vow to fight anyone who doubts his Utah and Washington shockers, plus the Stephon Castle growth-spurt take that gets out of hand. In the post-show, E Lamb makes it official from the beat: the Rams are the NFC front-runner, and the Donald–Garrett front four math is undefeated. Beav refuses to pre-crown anybody, defends Jalen Hurts and DeVonta Smith, and circles October 4 in Philly. New episodes drop nightly. Follow the crew and catch the post-show on X.

We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way! First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones react to opening day (and night) of Las Vegas Summer League. They discuss AJ Dybantsa's debut in a showdown against Darryn Peterson and the Jazz, the Darius Acuff-Keaton Wagler duel, the Morez Johnson-Yaxel Lendeborg matchup and much more.  From there, they discuss the latest NBA news. Is the Kawhi Leonard trade actually in jeopardy? What do we make of this massive six-team trade? Have the Jazz done a good enough job of replacing Walker Kessler? On the WNBA side, the guys have a nuanced conversation about the Las Vegas Aces' decision to waive Chennedy Carter: where communication might've broken down, some of the on-court shortcomings, and why we haven't heard much from the Aces -- at least not yet. To close, they discuss this year's All-Star reserves and who could potentially replace Kelsey Plum if she hasn't returned to the court by then.

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Phil and Will cross-talking with Dover and John. The guys discuss if the Nuggets are still in the running for LeBron James this upcoming season. When and how will LeBron announce his next team? Phil and Will react to the report the Nuggets are looking for a "Walker Kessler-type return" in a Payton Watson sign-and-trade. How should the Nuggets prioritize either signing Watson to a long-term contract or trying to bring in assets to let him go to another team? The guys suspect who could be a surprise cut for the Broncos this training camp. Phil shares about his time getting cut from the Colts and the process of signing with the practice squad. Do the Broncos have enough depth at edge rusher to move on from Jonathan Cooper? Could veterans like Ben Powers or Evan Engram be on the chopping block? 

In hour 3 of The Drive, Phil, Will and the guys compete in our weekly trivia competition against the morning show. Will we top their 3-1 performance from earlier today? We react to the report the Nuggets are looking for a "Walker Kessler-type return" in a Payton Watson sign-and-trade. How should the Nuggets prioritize either signing Watson to a long-term contract or trying to bring in assets to let him go to another team? The guys debate who could be a surprise cut for the Broncos this training camp. Phil shares about his time getting cut from the Colts and the process of signing with the practice squad. Will the legal issues be too much to keep Jonathan Cooper in the building? Could veterans like Ben Powers or Evan Engram be on the chopping block? Is there a legitimate option that could take Jarrett Stidham's backup quarterback position? 

On this week's episode, the guys dive deep into all the offseason action so far. They start with the blockbuster Jaylen Brown trade, and why Boston pulled the trigger and what it means for Philly's roster next year. Next, they visit the Raptor's trade for Kawhi Leonard and whether that can materially change the Eastern Conference playoff race (25:02). Then, they discuss the Timberwolves' surprising move to acquire Lamelo Ball and what that does for their outlook moving forward (35:39). Next, they discuss the massive haul the Lakers gave for Walker Kessler and whether that is the right bet for them moving forward (50:27). They also touch on Lebron's free agency decision and where they think he should go (01:02:36). Last, they touch on the massive extension Donovan Mitchell signed with the Cavs (01:13:08) before wrapping up with their thoughts on some of the early performances in Summer League from the rookies (01:18:40).

Justin and Dan reunite on the mic to rank Auburn football's 10 power-conference games for 2026 from easiest to toughest. Topics for this episode include:* Justin's back from vacation* Dan's not a Lakers fan (but wishes Walker Kessler all the best)* hey, that Narcisse Ngoy thing was weird, huh?* why the guys are unanimous about the weakest SEC opponent for the Tigers* how much does having a returning quarterback carry you in these rankings?* is DJ Lagway getting the Jackson Arnold treatment?* Mississippi State might be sneaky* trying to split the Florida and Vanderbilt back-to-back* will Tennessee or Ole Miss be a tougher road test?* a prediction about the Auburn-LSU day game* a surprisingly tough question about Alabama* the missing piece for Georgia's machine* Justin and Dan recap the World Cup so far* who is older: Lionel Messi or Kodi Burns?If you're receiving this free podcast episode and would like to upgrade to a paid subscription that gives you access to all stories and premium podcast episodes, subscribe using the button below or clicking this link.Follow Dan (@dnpck) and Justin (@JFergusonAU) on Twitter.

The USMNT's World Cup run is over after getting run off the field by Belgium, and we're asking the hard question: are they just…mid? We break down another disappointing exit, whether the Balogun suspension drama had any impact, and laugh at FOX's desperate attempts to convince America to keep watching the tournament. Then it's on to the NBA, where Stephen A. Smith sparked another firestorm by ripping the Lakers' new “White Big 3” of Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler. We also debate the NBA's experimental one-free-throw rule, discuss the latest LeBron-to-Cleveland rumors, and wonder if Tim Hardaway made the right call by refusing to let his son wear his retired No. 10. Baseball gave us another analytics vs. history debate after the Marlins pulled Eury Pérez in the middle of a perfect game. Should MLB make it illegal to remove a pitcher chasing history? We also talk about MLB's labor propaganda ahead of a potential strike, ScottSki45's Stat of the Week, Joey Chestnut's 18th Mustard Belt, Conor McGregor's latest comeback, PlayStation going all-digital, fantasy football guys, free nights and weekends, David the Gnome, and somehow Brett Hart catches a stray along the way.

The first wave of the NBA offseason is complete, and Wes Goldberg has some strong opinions. Before welcoming Bobby Manning of CLNS, Wes runs through the moves he feels most confident about—including the Clippers' franchise reset, Miami's blockbuster trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, Charlotte's decision to move on from LaMelo Ball, and why Phoenix's trade for Miles Bridges leaves more questions than answers. He also dives into the moves he's still wrestling with, including Ja Morant's fit in Portland, the Lakers' massive investment in Walker Kessler, and whether Philadelphia's acquisition of Jaylen Brown will age well.  Then Bobby Manning joins the show to unpack Brad Stevens' explanation for trading Brown, discussing the impact of the new CBA, Boston's financial reality, whether the Celtics waited too long to pivot, and where the franchise goes from here. Finally, Wes ranks LeBron James' reported landing spots and reveals the destination he believes gives LeBron the best chance to chase one more championship.   RealGM Radio is your top spot for the best weekly NBA coverage.

It's been the wildest week of the NBA offseason, and Robert Horry, Rob Jenners, and B-Dog Brandon Harper have a lot to get through. The show kicks off with an argument nobody asked for — Rob's theory that every undersized, unathletic kid in America should just go play soccer — before the guys dig into the trade that broke Twitch: Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George and draft compensation.   They break down whether Boston's “JB and JT can't win a title together” reasoning holds up, debate how fast (or slow) Philly fans will actually embrace a guy who spent a decade calling them the enemy, and dig into what Paul George's fit looks like next to a Jayson Tatum-led Celtics squad.   From there it's a full lap around the Lakers, who added Luka Dončić, AR, and Walker Kessler to a roster that's got the internet cracking jokes about the “Mayo Mob” and “Live, Laugh, Lakers.” Horry and Harper get into the actual basketball case for the moves, what the Kessler trade cost L.A. in draft capital, and why Rui Hachimura bolted for the Clippers on a deal Horry thinks his agent should be fired over.   The back half covers the Wizards quietly stacking three former No. 1 picks, a Rich Paul clip that reignites the LeBron-to-Cleveland chatter, Donovan Mitchell's new max extension, and a run through free agency moves including Collin Sexton, Anfernee Simmons, and DeMar DeRozan hitting the open market. Pat McAfee gets Big Shout of the Week honors, and the guys close it out with a round of “History Repeating,” matching this year's NBA storylines to their 2018 twins.   00:00  Cold Open & Intro 01:30  Should American Kids Just Play Soccer? 09:30  Jaylen Brown Traded to the Sixers 12:00  Do Fans Really Forgive Former Rivals? 16:00  Will Philly Embrace Jaylen Brown? 19:00  Shams' Report: Were Tatum & Brown Really Done? 21:30  Paul George Heads to Boston 26:30  Tatum Becomes the Guy in Boston 28:30  Lakers' New Look Sparks TikTok Nicknames 31:00  Breaking Down the Walker Kessler Trade 35:00  Rui Hachimura Bolts for the Clippers 42:30  Wizards Land Three Former No. 1 Picks 44:00  Rich Paul's LeBron-to-Knicks Bombshell 46:30  Where Does LeBron Land?
