Soto Across the River and an Abundance of Basketball ft. Jabari Wharwood

Jabari joins the episode to discuss his feelings about Soto, leaving his beloved New York Yankees across the river to the New York Mets. Jabari and I discuss the Juan Soto pursuit and what the Yankees and Red Sox do from here regarding an off-season plan.

Discussing the breaking news of Kyle Tucker being traded from the Houston Astros to the Chicago Cubs and how it could cause a domino effect for the rest of free agency.

Going into basketball topics, Jabari and I break down the New York Knicks and Brooklyn Nets and how Fat Joe thinks Karl Anthony Towns is the most outstanding offensive big-man in NBA History in a world where Nikola Jokic exists. We discuss the logic of Fat Joe. Ben Simmons, being linked with the Celtics via trade or buyout and his role.

Jimmy Butler looks like he will be out of Miami soon, as Miami is descending into continuously inconsistent and middling form. His remaining $100million over two years makes a deal interesting. The logic of the Miami Heat's GM Pat Riley over the last few years for sitting on his hands.

Domantas Sabonis records the first thirty-point-twenty rebound game this season. The evolution of the big-man factor?

NBC is returning to the basketball media world, and Jabari and I discuss the stakes for the NBA rating problems by building an actual basketball media giant as they've done with the Premier League.

Discussing AJ Dybantsa committing to BYU after transferring to Utah Prep.
