March 6, 2026
- Podcast returns for Season 4 (Episode 80) on March 6, 2026; brief daylight saving time chatter before diving into sports
- 49ers offseason talk centers on LT Trent Williams entering his contract year at age 38, extension vs. replacement, and his elite level/value; Jauan Jennings likely to leave in free agency
- Wide receiver market rumors: Stefon Diggs newly available; chatter about the Patriots pursuing a true WR1 (names floated: A.J. Brown, Mike Evans); Kendrick Bourne expected back; 49ers drafting late (around 27–28) with possible trade-up ambitions
- Coaching/injury notes (as discussed): turnover among coordinators; confusion over DC hire history; optimism on Fred Warner/Bosa health; concern that George Kittle’s playoff injury could sideline him deep into next season
- Warriors post–All-Star snapshot: Steph aggravated his injury around All-Star week; Dame, Steph, and Klay reportedly planning to enter next year’s 3PT contest together
- Trade fallout: Warriors dealt Jonathan Kuminga and Buddy Hield for Kristaps Porzingis; Porzingis looked fine offensively but lost defensively in his debut amid a lingering illness; team relying on “B squad” depth
- Recent Warriors results: upset win over Nuggets, close loss to Pelicans, solid win vs. Grizzlies, blowout loss to Lakers, late collapse vs. Clippers, OT win over Rockets highlighted by Draymond’s defense on KD and KD’s rare missed FTs; praise for Gui Santos, Brandin Podziemski (“Pods”), De’Anthony Melton, Moody, and energy role players
- Kuminga with the Hawks: hot debut (27-9-7) then tapered; mysteriously absent from one game; media framing trade as lopsided and critical of Kerr, while hosts note JK requested a trade and may clash positionally with Hawks forward Jalen Johnson; Dunleavy’s subtle “plays great when he plays the right way” comment noted
- Warriors future core debate: Pods compared to Jalen Brunson path; Moody likened to a Derrick White–type; hope that Quinten Post develops into a double-double big; question marks for other young shooters
- Outlook: Steph texted Draymond he’s returning this season despite “shut him down” talk; OKC up next; hosts predict Warriors finish slightly over .500 and claim that a fully healthy roster next year could contend for a title in what might be the core’s last run together
