On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the wild Deandre Ayton saga that took place on Thursday. The Indiana Pacers thought they had Ayton signed, sealed and deliver... for about 3 hours. The Phoenix Suns had no choice but to match the offer sheet and keep their star center. Even if the Suns had no interest in giving Ayton a max deal, they couldn't afford to lose him for nothing when they're this close to a championship; Making matters worse, the Ayton deal essentially removes Phoenix from the Kevin Durant sweepstakes. Later, J-Mac and Producer Rob G  hit us with a deep dive into the report that Steph Curry is quietly recruiting Durant back to the Golden State Warriors. Both guys agree that it would be a bad look for KD to come running back to the Warriors after they just won the championship, but what does it say about Steph that he even wants him back in the first place? Jason says that any rings Steph wins – with or without Durant – will only cement his status as a top-10 player in NBA history. Rob G, on the other hand, says the addition of KD could actually hurt Curry’s long-term legacy given that it would now be the second time he’s felt the need to recruit a better player to his roster.
