Best Of - Is LeBron James sending Lakers a WARNING? Patrick Mahomes still owns Allen, Lamar & Burrow Jul 12, 2025

Show notes

Nick Wright reacts to rumors that LeBron James may be traded from the Los Angeles Lakers after just half a season alongside Luka Doncic. Nick breaks down why he finds it ridiculous that LeBron is not commanding the same attention on the trade market as Kevin Durant did before his trade from the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets. Did LeBron send LA a warning with his reaction, or lack of a reaction, to the Lakers acquiring Deandre Ayton? Later, Nick breaks down why it is ridiculous for people to rank Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen or Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson higher than Patrick Mahomes heading into the 2025 NFL season. Nick also explains why people who are doubting his Kansas City Chiefs clearly don't know what they are talking about. #Volume
