165: Nets, 76ers, Bucks, Nuggets, Warriors, Seahawks, Cowboys, NFL Draft, Islanders, Rangers, Phillies, Miguel Cabrera, Dodgers, Mets, and more!

In today’s podcast: John discusses key developments in all the sports leagues today. Why the Ben Simmons trade proved to be a disaster for the Brooklyn Nets and why it underscores a bigger organizational problem for the franchise. Why the Philadelphia 76ers haven’t impressed him yet as they appear to face the Miami Heat in the 2nd round in the NBA playoffs, and who is under the most pressure to elevate their game in a potential Sixers-Heat series. The Milwaukee Bucks’ performance over the weekend with respect to team culture is why they’re the most trusted team in the Eastern Conference. The Denver Nuggets’ championship dream was dead all along, and the Golden State Warriors should be a favorite to win a title this season. John gives three NFL draft takes, one each on the wide receiver market in the draft, who should trade up to get one of the “Big Four” wideouts available this year, why the Seattle Seahawks should trade up for a second first round pick, and why the Dallas Cowboys should trade out of the first round. Who has been the most disappointing team in the National Hockey League this year, and who might be the scariest team to play in the Stanley Cup playoffs? There are lots of baseball news to discuss too, about umpire Angel Hernandez, Miguel Cabrera’s 3,000th hit, why the best teams in baseball are the best, how invaluable Byron Buxton is to the Minnesota Twins, and more.
