The Mavericks should trade the #1 pick to the Wizards for the #6 pick

If you're the Wizard's front office, do you pick up that phone and do you call Nico [Harrison] and do you say... we will offer you the number six overall pick for the number one overall pick... If you pick the one overall pick and he ends up not being good, you could get fired. You're dead. If you take the six overall pick, people don't really expect a lot from that player.

The Mavericks did not trade the #1 pick for the #6 pick; they kept the pick and drafted Cooper Flagg.

The NBA Draft Lottery is rigged despite the league's attempts to prove otherwise

I think the media is now welcome at the draft lottery because he used to see it behind the scenes... he was laying it on thick. He was doing a lot of unrigable talk... if it was rigged, this is exactly how they would've rigged it. Exactly how they'd rig it. Exactly... you can pick and choose Max... that shit's fucking rigged and I fucking hate it and there should be an investigation.

Whether the lottery is rigged is a matter of conspiracy/subjectivity, though the league maintains it is verified by Ernst & Young.

LeBron James will opt out of his contract and finish his career in Cleveland

I'll say this PFT, LeBron, he's gonna opt out. He's gonna opt out. Could he, could he end his career in Cleveland? Could he fix everything? Well, no, he, he might opt out to take less money, but that would be fun if he did the opt out And we had like a day or two of being like, calves coming home one last time.

LeBron James opted INTO his $52.6 million player option to stay with the Lakers for 2025-26. He did not opt out or go to Cleveland.

The Detroit Tigers will win the American League

I'll say this right now. I think the Detroit Tigers are gonna win The AL. I don't know if they can win the World Series. There's some good teams in the NL... in the last month, it's like [Javi Baez] recaptured something and, and, and come back to the world as, as what the electrifying Javi Baez was.

The Detroit Tigers finished 87-74 in 2025, which was respectable but they did not win the American League. The Blue Jays won the AL pennant.

The Falcons are a real, flawed good team

I do think that the Falcons are real. Yeah. I think that they're a good team. They're a flawed good team.

This is a subjective assessment of the Falcons.

The Falcons may have the NFL's best skill-position group

I think that if the Falcons can do that, they have maybe the best set of skill position players in the NFL. If you're able to protect Penix, he's good enough to distribute it and then just let their awesome players do awesome shit.

This is a subjective ranking of NFL skill-position groups.

MLB's proposed check-swing replay would make everything a check swing

Yeah. Parallel with the plate. Yeah. That's what I thought the rule was. And apparently that's just not the rule anymore. If they ever bring this system to Major League Baseball, I get—everything's a check swing.

This is a prediction/opinion about a proposed rule and its practical effect, not a settled fact.
