The World Cup is nearing its denouement, which means that Major League Soccer is reigniting their engines. (Maybe that's just adding to the poor air quality around here lately.) FC Cincinnati's first opponent after the long break? Vancouver Whitecaps FC, the head honchos of the Western Conference. The Caps got a surprising reprieve on Thursday after their match with Chicago was put on hold due to the environment. However, that just means the squad gets extra rest before Wednesday's matchup. To know more about our opponent, we talk with soccer commentator and reporter Michael McColl from the "Away From The Numbers" podcast and website. Michael gives us a better look at how Jesper Sørensen has prepared his club for the long run. Considering what the state of Ohio had gone through, perhaps he can also shine a brighter light on the #SaveTheCaps campaign as well.

]LeBron James left the Lakers. Talked to 27 teams. Let the entire NBA make their pitch. And now every insider in the league is saying the same thing — it's Golden State or Cleveland. That's it. That's the list. Nick Friedell put it plainly: "It's about 50/50 right now. It's Golden State and Cleveland. I just don't see another team that makes that much sense." And one Western Conference executive told Front Office Sports he'd be "stunned" if LeBron picked anyone other than the Warriors or Cavaliers.

Bickley and Kellan Olson talk Suns, go through Social Studies, and play Mustache, Not a Mustache.

The Anaheim Ducks took a major step forward during the 2025-26 season, ending an eight-year playoff drought by finishing third in the Pacific Division and advancing to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Neil Smith and Vic Morren look back at the moves that fueled Anaheim's turnaround, including the hiring of Joel Quenneville, the emergence of one of the NHL's brightest young cores, and Pat Verbeek's aggressive roster construction. They also examine the Ducks' statistical profile, why the numbers don't tell the full story, and the important contract decisions that will shape Anaheim's future as they continue their climb toward Stanley Cup contention.IN THIS EPISODE:[00:00:00] The Ducks complete a remarkable turnaround by finishing third in the Pacific Division, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2018, defeating Edmonton in six games before falling to Vegas in the second round. Neil and Vic revisit their preseason expectations after Anaheim added Chris Kreider, Mikael Granlund, Ryan Poehling, retained Lukas Dostal, and traded longtime goaltender John Gibson to Detroit.[00:01:00] Neil discusses why Pat Verbeek's decision to hire Joel Quenneville proved to be one of the organization's most important moves. The conversation also looks at the growth of Anaheim's young defense, veteran leadership from Jacob Trouba and Radko Gudas, and the addition of John Carlson at the trade deadline.[00:02:00] Anaheim's season was anything but consistent. After an 11-3-1 start, the Ducks endured an 0-8-1 slide before responding with multiple lengthy winning streaks. Neil explains why those ups and downs are typical of one of the NHL's youngest rosters.[00:03:00] Vic examines why Anaheim's statistics paint a very different picture than their playoff appearance. Despite improving their goal differential by 27 goals and scoring 52 more goals than the previous season, the Ducks still posted a negative goal differential and remained near the bottom of the league in special teams, goals against, and save percentage.[00:04:00] The discussion shifts to Anaheim's offensive breakout. Cutter Gauthier explodes for 41 goals, Leo Carlsson scores 29, Beckett Seneca finishes with 23 goals as a Rookie of the Year finalist, and Jackson LaCombe establishes himself as one of the NHL's rising young defensemen with a tremendous regular season and playoff performance.[00:06:00] Attention turns to Pat Verbeek's offseason priorities. Anaheim enters the summer with six draft picks but no first-round selection following the John Carlson trade, along with approximately $10.7 million in salary cap space and a long list of unrestricted and restricted free agents to address.[00:07:00] Neil and Vic discuss which veterans should return, including Jacob Trouba, captain Radko Gudas, Jeffrey Viel, and the backup goaltending situation involving Petr Mrázek and Ville Husso. They also examine the significant extensions awaiting Cutter Gauthier, Leo Carlsson, Pavel Mintyukov, Olen Zellweger, and the rest of Anaheim's young core.[00:08:00] The episode concludes with Neil sharing a conversation with Los Angeles Kings General Manager Ken Holland, who believes the Ducks possess one of the NHL's brightest futures. With an elite young core already in place and only minor roster adjustments needed, Anaheim appears poised to become one of the Western Conference's rising powers and potentially the premier team in Southern California for years to come.

Rob Pelinka went on a spending spree on Wednesday, and in a span covering roughly half an hour, signed up free agents Quentin Grimes, Collin Sexton, and Sandro Mamukelashvili. On top of it all, the Lakers traded for Walker Kessler from the Utah Jazz for unprotected first-round picks in 2031 and 2033 and first-round swaps in 2028 and 2030. Kessler has agreed to a four-year, $130 million deal. Mamu has agreed to a four-year, $52 million deal. Quentin Grimes has agreed to a four-year, $60 million contract, and Sexton a two-year, $19 million deal. So the question now gets asked: Where does this leave the Lakers in the Western Conference?

The crew opens by digging into the Ja Morant trade to Portland, debating whether the Blazers’ backcourt logjam leaves Scoot Henderson on the outside looking in, before turning to the Grizzlies’ return and what comes next for both sides.   From there the guys work through a stacked Western Conference storyline: Draymond Green opting out and the running joke about a Warriors-LeBron pairing, the Lakers’ retention of Austin Reaves on a four-year max deal, DeAndre Ayton’s player option, and what it would actually take for the Lakers to chase Jalen Duren in restricted free agency. Horry and Harper go back and forth on whether DeAndre Ayton has been put in a position to succeed in LA, and whether San Antonio makes sense as a landing spot if the Lakers move on.   The conversation shifts to Charlotte sending LaMelo Ball to Minnesota, with the hosts debating whether that pairing with Anthony Edwards is really the best backcourt in the league or just the most entertaining one. They also touch on Golden State’s decision to move on from Jonathan Kuminga, a possible Kawhi Leonard return to Toronto, and where Jaylen Brown trade rumors actually stand.   A rundown of the week’s free agency moves follows — James Harden, Andrew Wiggins, Bradley Beal, Landry Shamet, Isaiah Hartenstein, Lu Dort, Julian Champagnie and Jose Alvarado all get a mention — before the show heads into Big Shout of the Week, honoring a school resource officer in Phoenix who paid out of pocket to take an entire class to the movies.
