Deandre Ayton Joins Lakers, Will Giannis Stay With Bucks? NFL Snow Games, NBA West WAY Better Than East

Colin’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “Breakfast Ball” on FS1!

They start by reacting to the news that the Lakers signed former #1 overall pick DeAndre Ayton to a two year deal and argue that you can’t get away with being a small team in a western conference that’s loaded with talented bigs (4:00). They highlight why it’s a low-risk, buy-low proposition for the Lakers where playing with LeBron and Luka could help revitalize Ayton’s career (10:30). 

They discuss the massive gap between the western and eastern conferences in the NBA and the reasons driving the disparity, (14:30) and debate whether the top player in the east (Giannis) can power the Bucks to a finals appearance with Jayson Tatum out (26:00). They also talk about why the teams that have traded star players for assets almost always lose the trade and caution the Bucks about trading Giannis.

They pivot to the NFL and the backlash to the Browns plan to build a domed stadium and debate whether the tradition of snow & bad weather games is worth keeping in a quarterback driven era of football (34:00). 

Danny hijacks the conversation to congratulate Colin on his induction in the Radio Hall of Fame and his decades of success and Colin reflects on his journey into the business starting as a kid (44:00).  

They discuss the rumors of Dawn Staley potentially being a candidate for head coach of the Knicks, why there are no female coaches in men's sports, whether that could change in the near future and the challenges facing female coaches in men’s sports (51:30).

Finally, Colin argues that while the transfer portal has been good for college sports but requires some limitations and they debate whether money in college athletics has made it a better or worse product (1:02:00).
