Robert Horry, Rob Jenner, and B-Dog get into it on everything going on around the league, starting with the LeBron James free agency saga that's now held the entire schedule hostage for three weeks running. The guys break down the shifting odds between Miami, Cleveland, and Philly, dig into why nobody thinks the Knicks have a shot, and Rob Horry gets personal about the "just make a decision" frustration versus understanding LeBron's family situation with his daughter.   From there it's a full free agency roundup — DeMar DeRozan possibly heading back to San Antonio, Draymond Green's future tied entirely to LeBron's decision, and the Lou Dort three-team trade that sent him to Atlanta while OKC stacked up draft picks. The Warriors' Summer League championship run gets its own segment, with the guys going deep on their new draft pick and why he might be the reason Draymond doesn't come back to Golden State.   Also on deck: an early 2026 rookie class debate, an Anthony Davis interview clip that gets Horry fired up about "40-plus wins," the ongoing Gary Trent Jr. cap circumvention investigation, and a Big Shot of the Week shoutout to a Kansas City police officer who tracked down a stolen e-bike for a cancer patient. Then things go completely off the rails with the Waffle House training video breakdown and a new round of Walmart or Waffle House.   New episodes every Tuesday.
