NBA Opt-Ins, Opt-Outs, Trades & Free Agency Begins. Mets Ugly Loss. The Real Reason Behind Freeman's Departure To LA. The End For Serena? Baker Mayfield Moving On?
As we say goodbye to June and usher in the holiday weekend, there's still quite a bit to dissect in the world of sports as I'll share my thoughts and opinions on all that's happening! On deck:
(4:05) NBA free agency begins tonight at 6pm. You've already had some players opt-in to their current deals (i.e. Kyrie Irving, Russell Westbrook) opt-out (i.e. James Harden, Bradley Beal) and a John Wall buyout in Houston as he heads to LA to play for the Clippers. I'll discuss their situations, the big trade between the Hawks and Spurs for Dejounte Murray, the Knicks impending signing of Jalen Brunson and much more as we gear up for some wheeling and dealing in the Association over the next week or so.
(22:10) My beloved Mets have hit a bit of a tough stretch, including an awful loss yesterday as they were swept again by the Astros. I'll explain why I'm not happy with their latest defeat and how the Braves are putting the pressure on the Mets in the NL East. Also, we found out the REAL reason why Freddie Freeman did not re-sign with Atlanta in the off-season. I'll recap the aftermath of the Mariners-Angels brawl and the suspensions handed down where 12 players and coaches were affected. I'll get into some series concluding (Guardians-Twins) and beginning (Padres-Dodgers) as we inch closer to the halfway point of the season.
(38:26) Wimbledon has been mostly chalk for the most part. The big match of the week was Serena Williams losing to Harmony Tan in an epic match on Tuesday. Is this the beginning of the end for the all-time great?
(44:10) Baker Mayfield has made a declaration to the Browns organization as he feels it's time to move on and that they haven't reconciled with him, in light of the acquisition of Deshaun Watson. Is he wrong?
(49:19) There's a LIV Golf Event taking place in Portland, Oregon starting today. Is anyone watching? Does anyone care?
