LeBron’s Decision Drama, NBA Free Agency Gridlock, MLB Trade Buzz & World Cup Economics

On this Friday edition of SportsWrap w/Jason Page, Jason opens with a discussion on the increasingly drawn-out LeBron James free agency saga and whether basketball fans are beginning to experience "LeBron fatigue." As speculation continues to swirl around where the NBA superstar will play next, Jason examines why the announcement keeps getting delayed, the impact it's having on the rest of the league, and whether the spotlight strategy is starting to backfire. Later, Jason welcomes Kurt Helin of NBC Sports for a conversation about the NBA offseason, the LeBron domino effect, Kawhi Leonard's future, and the moves still waiting to happen around the league. Then, former MLB reliever David Aardsma joins the show for another edition of SportsWrap Inside Baseball, discussing the latest trade deadline storylines, pitching trends, contenders, and what to watch as the second half of the baseball season begins. Plus, Jason looks at the economic reality behind the FIFA World Cup, why host countries often fail to see the financial windfall they were promised, and who the real winners are when the world's biggest sporting event comes to town.
