Giannis Stays & A Warning on Kyler Murray

Hour 3 kicks off with the NBA deadline chaos and the biggest headline hanging over everything: Giannis. The show then pivots to the Tom Brady controversy after he says he has “no dog in the fight” for the Super Bowl. Patriots fans are annoyed, former teammates are chirping, and an active player goes as far as saying he’s “disgusted,” turning Brady into a weird New England villain story. The guys debate whether Brady is detached, protecting broadcast credibility, or just wired to compete at whatever he’s doing next. Then the real breaking news hits. Shams reports the Bucks have told teams they are keeping Giannis through the deadline. Evan frames it as the best possible outcome for Knicks fans because it keeps a rival from getting stronger now, while leaving the door open for summer chaos. They also talk through the strange ripple effects: Milwaukee possibly shutting him down, Shams’ careful wording, and how Giannis could still weaponize his leverage later by scaring off teams with the “I’m not re-signing there” card. The segment ends with the bigger theme: the East feels wide open, the Celtics are compromised without a fully healthy Tatum, and this is exactly the kind of season where the Knicks get a real shot to “finish the story” before the summer superstar carousel starts again.
