Tanking is officially dead in the NBA

The NBA draft lottery... Tanking is over. Turns out Nate Silver is full of shit. Pelicans had the ninth best odds, they get the number one pick. Grizzlies had the eighth best odds, they get the two pick. The Knicks had the first best odds, they get the three pick. And the Lakers had the 11th best odds, they get the four pick. Tanking is over.

The NBA's lottery reform has largely achieved the goal of discouraging blatant tanking by reducing the reward for the worst records.

Nobody wants to find out what New York sports fans are like when the Knicks are actually good

I don't know what New Yorkers are like when the Knicks are really, really good. And I don't think that anybody wants to find out.

This is an inherently subjective opinion about fan behavior.

The Memphis Grizzlies should move to Seattle and bring back the Sonics

No offense to Memphis. I'm sure we have millions of Memphis listeners, but that is like basketball hell. Like, where is that? There's grit. They need to move it to Seattle, and then I'd be excited for [Ja] Morant in Seattle. That would be great. Bring back our Sonics.

The Grizzlies remain in Memphis as of 2024.

The Vikings officially have a Kyler Murray problem

I think we can officially say they have a Kyler Murray problem. Justin Jefferson has reached his point where he's like, 'What the fuck is going on?' So that would be my point. Maybe there's a Kyler Murray issue.

Whether Minnesota had a significant Kyler Murray problem is an evaluative football judgment rather than a definitively resolvable fact.

The Vikings should trade for Kirk Cousins

What if I told you the Vikings could trade for a quarterback that has 18 touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown? Would that be something you think you'd be interested in if you were a Minnesota Viking fan? Kirk Cousins.

Whether Kirk Cousins was traded to Minnesota during the 2026 season is not established by the transcript or reliably known here.

Jalen Warren is a top-five running back

Jalen Warren is the top five running back this year. And it's like watching him play, that changes what I think about the Steelers.

Top-five running back status is ultimately a subjective ranking that cannot be definitively resolved.
