Robert Horry is BACK and we are all spinning from the NBA free agency moves that have hit the last few days. We start with July 4th traditions, and how Rob used to celebrate in his playing days because this was one of the few holidays that players could relax and enjoy. And when it comes to Dame Lillard wanting a trade out of Portland, Rob feels like he may have succumb to peer pressure and feels he needs to restructure his contract in order to land with a contender. We also debate whether a player hurts his trade value by saying where he wants to go instead of just playing it quiet behind the scenes. Rob also says that the Lakers free agency moves felt like they replaced the pieces they already had with almost the same exact players and treated them like new additions. Plus Rob does not seem to mind the contract extension for Kyrie Irving in Dallas because he wants the Mavericks to run the Luka-Kyrie experiment back for at least a year before bailing on it. Fred VanVleet also gets a big payday in Houston that Rob doesn’t really understand, but we all agree that Minnesota extending Anthony Edwards is the right move for the Timberwolves. Add in some massive layoffs at ESPN, Draymond’s beer-chug failure on the golf course, no one knows where James Harden will go, and whether or not LeBron would bail to play with Bronny. A very cool Big Shot of the Week goes to White Castle, and we test Rob and B-Dog’s patriotism with a round of questions from the U.S. Citizenship Test!
