DMac agrees landing Paul George will be huge for a team this offseason, and Big Al talks about the self-inflicted wound to LeBron’s hand. Also, Big Al points out Steph Curry has yet to win Finals MVP, and Steve Kerr is morphing into Phil Jackson. DMac tries to figure out why the Warriors would want to get rid of Klay Thompson, even if it means landing LeBron, and Al asks why any team wouldn’t want ‘The King.’ Also, Big Al says the story of the 2018 Rockies is not yet written, and he expects them to make a run in the division. In the Big 3 @ 3:30, we hear the call from Justify winning the Triple Crown after dominating the Belmont Stakes, and the boys talk about championship celebrations from Swaggy P & Alex Ovechkin.

Al finds out from DMac what the issue is with Beth, and why it should matter to us if we don’t have a vote in it. DMac starts to think the best thing for the team is simply selling the team. The guys talk about the drama between LeBron James & Dan Gilbert, and Big Al pulls up the numbers Cleveland draws with & without LeBron. Al mentions all the sellouts LeBron brings, and why it will be a long time before Cleveland finds another athlete like James.

DMac says it’s all about Case Keenum for the next three days at Broncos mandatory minicamp, and the guys rank Keenum amongst the NFL’s elite quarterbacks.
