Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Six Degrees of Deandre Ayton & Should Steph Curry Link Up with Kevin Durant Again? Jul 15, 2022

Show notes

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.

Donovan Mitchell to the Nets? + Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show host Garrett Bush Jul 14, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick note on the report that the Brooklyn Nets would be interested in Donovan Mitchell in any potential Kevin Durant trade. It's too soon to say whether or not a deal could actually come to fruition, but we did tell you yesterday that Mitchell and Durant wind up being linked together until one of them actually gets traded. Just sayin'. Later, Ultimate Cleveland Sports Show and 92.3 The Fan Cleveland host Garrett Bush swings by to discuss why there's so much pressure on Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski heading into the upcoming season, why fans are so split on the acquisition of Deshaun Watson, how Joe Burrow single-handedly destroyed every single excuse Browns fans had about being mediocre for so long, Collin Sexton's future with the Cavaliers now that Darius Garland has emerged, why NBA front office executives think Durant and Kyrie Irving are the two most miserable guys in basketball, and much more!

Kyrie Wants to Stay in Brooklyn, How Donovan Mitchell Impacts the Kevin Durant Sweepstakes & a Potential Landing Spot for Jimmy G Jul 13, 2022

Show notes

On today’s episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off with a deep dive into the report that Kyrie Irving would prefer to stay with the Brooklyn Nets – whether Kevin Durant remains on the team or not. Has Kyrie finally come to the realization that no other team actually wants to trade for him so he’s trying to save face? Or is this just the latest case of an NBA franchise trying to manipulate a member of the media to get their preferred narrative out to the public? We’ll find out soon enough. Speaking of the Nets, now that Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell is officially on the trade block, it’s safe to say that his future is now directly tied to Durant’s. That’s not to say that the two all-stars will ultimately get traded for each other, but rather that any team linked to KD will also now be linked to Mitchell. Later, the guys explain why Scottie Pippen is correct when he says that it’s tougher to be successful in today’s NBA than it was back in the 1990s. Players are bigger, faster and more skilled than ever before, so it only makes sense the competition would be greater as well. Finally, J-Mac closes the show by discussing why he thinks the Cleveland Browns should try to trade for Jimmy Garoppolo to hold down the fort while Deshaun Watson is out due to suspension. In fact, Jason argues that Jimmy G as the bridge quarterback would actually make the Browns the team to beat in the AFC North.

Losers in the Twittersphere + Baltimore radio host Jerry Coleman Jul 12, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by doing a quick run through a few of the biggest storylines to hit the wire on Monday, most notably a snafu involving a handful of ESPN staffers getting duped by a fake Ja Morant quote. Can you believe there are actual people out there who spend their lives cooking up fake quotes/headlines trying to dupe the media? Embarrassing. Later, 105.7 The Fan Baltimore radio host Jerry Coleman swings by to discuss if the Lamar Jackson contract negotiations are hanging over the club like a cloud, Jackson’s refusal to hire an agent are making things more difficult, the Baltimore Ravens’ overall confidence in Jackson’s long-term outlook, the notion that Jackson isn’t a top-10 quarterback in the NFL, why top wideout Hollywood Brown wanted out of Baltimore, if the Ravens should be viewed as the favorites to win the AFC North this upcoming season, and much more!

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Damian Lillard Got His Dollars, Lamar Jackson Should Get Dak Prescott Money & Is Zach Wilson the Mormon Manziel? Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing a few thoughts on the Portland Trail Blazers' decision to sign Damian Lillard to a two-year, $122 million contract extension that will keep him in Portland until 2027. The Blazers have been good-but-not-great for years with Lillard, and now they just locked themselves into NBA purgatory for the next five years - at least. Portland should have realized they were never going to win a championship with Lillard as their best player long ago, but rather than cut the chord and trade Dame for a King's Ransom to jumpstart their rebuild, they decided they'd rather live in mediocrity. Later, Jason discusses the latest surrounding the ongoing contract negotiations between Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. Say what you want about Jackson's abilities as a passer, the fact remains he's an unanimous MVP who has won at a high level ever since he got to the NFL. At a minimum, Jackson deserves a larger contract than Dak Prescott got from the Dallas Cowboys before last season. Finally, J-Mac closes the show by waxing poetically on the latest tabloid rumors involving New York Jets quarterback Zach Wilson. Before the NFL Draft, Jason called Wilson the 'Mormon Mahomes'. Now? They're calling him the 'Mormon Manziel'. Take a listen to find out why!

Straight Fire w/ Jason McIntyre - Lakers Closing In on Kyrie & a Kevin Durant Breadcrumb Jul 08, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things by sharing his thoughts on the reports that Kyrie Irving is a sure thing to end up with the Los Angeles Lakers before next season. One word: Why? Kyrie has been a malcontent on every team he's been on since he left LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017. There's a reason why the Lakers seem to be the only team interested in Kyrie's services; Let's just hope Los Angeles is smart enough not to give up too much for Irving in the deal. Speaking of the Brooklyn Nets, the Kevin Durant trade market is moving at a glacial pace. In fact, at least prominent NBA insider is reporting that KD has been ghosting other star players who have been trying to recruit Durant to their team. However, internet sleuths did uncover a breadcrumb that could let us know which team has the inside track to land KD so you definitely want to keep an eye on that one. Finally, J-Mac closes the show by explaining how the difficulties surrounding any potential Durant deal could signal the official death of the Super Team Era. It's unbelievably hard to field a competitive roster when you have to flip most of your assets for a third superstar.

Baker Mayfield Has the Panthers Thinking Playoffs + Pro sports bettor Brad Powers Jul 07, 2022

Show notes

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing a few thoughts on the Cleveland Browns' decision to trade former #1 overall pick Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers. Mayfield has historically performed better as an underdog so it's safe to assume we should see the best version of Baker come out now that he's been kicked to the curb. However, even though incumbent Panthers starter Sam Darnold hasn't exactly lit the world on fire himself, all signs point to Darnold keeping the starting gig as we head into training camp. In fact, with upgrades along the offensive line and the return of superstar Christian McCaffrey, it wouldn't be crazy to put a little dough on Carolina to make the playoffs next season. Later, professional sports bettor Brad Powers swings by to preview the upcoming college football season and discuss why he felt compelled to bet on the Alabama Crimson Tide to win the 2023 national championship before the 2022 season was even officially over, why he’s optimistic about the Clemson Tigers and quarterback DJ Uiagalelei having a bounce-back season, why he’s already placed wagers on 15 different players to win the Heisman Trophy -including superstar quarterbacks Bryce Young and CJ Stroud, the likelihood that we see Notre Dame eventually join the Big Ten, why he feels as though Utah is undervalued and USC is overvalued coming out of the Pac-12, and much more!
