Will Devin Booker and Bradley Beal be able to play with each other despite playing the same position?DeAndre Ayton might also be on his way out of Phoenix, that’s yet to be determined, but the Suns can’t risk having him derail another season or playoff run when their window of opportunity is so limited.The Beal trade hasn’t been completed yet because the Wizards are looking for another team to take on Chris Paul, and there are rumors that he could end up being sent to the Lakers or Clippers. Vince discusses those possibilities and fits.The Wizards seem to be going full tank mode after this, and Vince calls on his producer to figure out if this is something the Washington fans are happy with.Finally, Damian Lillard looms large over the Beal trade, especially with the Miami Heat puling out of a potential trade package for Beal.

One day after the Denver Nuggets celebrated their championship on the streets of Colorado's capital, the NBA dropped a huge piece of news that changed the tenor of the offseason. Memphis Grizzlies star point guard Ja Morant has been suspended for 25 games to kick off the 2023-2024 season after an incident this spring in which he was seen brandishing a firearm on a social media post.Vincent Goodwill launches straight into this emergency podcast taping with Dan Devine as they talk about the gravity of Morant's second suspension this year, how the Grizzlies may fare without their star for the first third of the season and how the NBA's investigation into Morant may have yielded results that suggest the gun incidents are just the tip of the iceberg with his off-court behavior.Later in the podcast, the guys react to the news out of San Francisco, where Mike Dunleavy Jr. has been named the successor to Bob Myers in the role of the Golden State Warriors' new GM. Vincent & Dan make the point that a lot of Golden State's extravagant bills are suddenly coming due, particularly in regards to the future of Draymond Green & Klay Thompson, in Dunleavy's first year on the job.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Vincent Goodwill and Dan Devine, soaked in champagne from the Denver Nuggets celebration, get together to recap a gutsy game 5 victory and a dominant series win for the new NBA Champions over the Miami Heat.01:00 Nuggets 94, Heat 89 (DEN wins 4-1)07:45 Michael Malone11:40 KCP13:30 Jimmy Butler19:20 Nikola Jokic33:30 Nuggets dynasty?42:30 Miami’s futureVincent Goodwill and Dan Devine sit down courtside at Ball Arena after the Denver Nuggets clinched the NBA Championship in game 5 of the Finals over the Miami Heat to talk about the game, the series, and the future of both franchises.When searching for answers for why the Nuggets are champions, beyond “Nikola Jokic is amazing”, the guys settled on the patience and perseverance of the Nuggets front office and head coach Michael Malone.Vince and Dan look back at the trade that brought Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the Nuggets, a trade that wasn’t very popular when it took place, and how he ended up being a perfect fit for what they were building.Jimmy Butler might be injured, or just tired, but he didn’t look like what we expected him to be in the series. Really, he didn’t look like he had anything left to give until the final few minutes of game 5. And he spent the entire series avoiding Jokic in the paint.Speaking of Jokic, the guys spend a few minutes talking about his greatness and wondering if any player in NBA history would be able to stop him 1-on-1. But just because he’s great now doesn’t necessarily mean that this is the start of a Nuggets dynasty.Finally, the Miami Heat have to be tired of getting close but not winning the title. Could losing in the Finals be the thing that leads them to pursue a trade for Damian Lillard?Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On a night when Nikola Jokic was dealing with an ankle injury, Murray helped to seal the win for the Nuggets.Aaron Gordon was arguably the most important player for the Denver in game 4, leading to a conversation about the perfect fit between Gordon and the Nuggets roster. Vince and Ben talk about the trade that brought Gordon to Denver from the Orlando Magic and how it helped build a championship roster.Finally, they guys preview game 5, which will be in Denver on Monday. There are not many things the Heat can try that the Nuggets haven’t already seen and countered, and Tyler Herro doesn’t look ready to play. If Miami is going to win, it’s likely going to take a special game from one of their superstars.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

After the Denver Nuggets ran away with the victory, stealing back home-court advantage, the guys talked about the historic pairing of Jokic-Murray and what Miami needs to do to make the series even.01:50 Nuggets 109, Heat 94 (DEN leads 2-1)11:00 Jamal Murray16:35 Christian Braun20:20 Miami Heat22:45 HOT JAKE: Kevin Love27:00 Suns discussing Chris Paul’s future36:20 Kyrie recruiting LeBron to DallasOn a brand new episode of No Cap Room, Dan calls in from the arena floor after watching the Denver Nuggets stomp the Miami Heat in game 3 of the NBA Finals.The guys talk about the Nuggets winning, and taking back home court advantage, from all possible angles. Jokic and Murray have definitely been the best duo in the playoffs this year and that was the main reason for Denver’s win on Wednesday night.Christian Braun, the rookie who comes off the bench for the Nuggets, was shouted out by Jokic after the game as the reason for Denver’s win. His energy has made him a great option for Michael Malone, who is starting to trust Braun more than Michael Porter Jr.It’s clear now that Miami has one path to beating the Nuggets, which is to knock down three-point shots at a high rate. They did it in game 2, but struggled with it in games 1 and 3. Can they get it back for game 4?Finally, Jake and Dan talk about the news of the day. Mainly, the changing situation with Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns, which might tie into Kyrie Irving’s free agency and desire to get to the Los Angeles Lakers to play with LeBron James again.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Yahoo Sports NBA analyst Krysten Peek is joined by 24/7 Sports Director of Scouting and College Basketball Insider for CBS Sports HQ Adam Finkelstein to dive into Amen and Ausar Thompson, two identical twins who will likely be selected early in the NBA Draft this year.2:44 - KP and Adam kick things off by breaking down the Thompson twins as players and what sets them apart both on and off the court.14:20 - Next, the duo attempt to determine which Thompson twin is the better prospect overall. They both have their strengths and weaknesses – Amen is probably the better athlete, while Ausar is the better defender. The biggest concern for both players is their shooting. Both players may be high risk/high reward type prospects, but Amen seems to be more boom or bust than his brother.19:05 - KP and Adam focus on one brother at a time, starting with Amen. Amen is usually going higher in mock drafts because of his superstar upside. Adam breaks down Amen's athletic ability and flashes on tape that indicate he has the potential to be a star at the NBA level.23:45 - Next up is twin brother Ausar. Adam believes Ausar could be an immediate impact defender at the NBA level and shows a lot of promise as a cutter, which helps make up for his lack of shooting ability.30:20 - Adam and KP react to clips from Krysten's interview with the Thompson twins as they discuss their unique experience not playing at the college level, where they'll be drafted and who they model their game after.41:45 - What are the best possible fits for Amen and Ausar? Adam likes the Portland Trailblazers as a potential landing spot for Amen, but dislikes the fits with the Detroit Pistons. KP likes Amen with the Houston Rockets. Ausar's best fit would be with the Utah Jazz, Washington Wizards or Indiana Pacers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

That gives Vince and Jake a chance to go over what went wrong with the Celtics’ coaching staff this season, how they probably should’ve handled it instead, and what the addition of Cassell can do to help their team next season.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
