What challenges does the Seahawks' defensive line pose for Drake May?

Danny Parkins 0:02
So I think the defensive line for the Seahawks is going to really challenge Drake May.
Chris Cody 0:09
What are you eating there? Blue chips. Blue chips. Oh, for like blue chip talent?

How do chips and salsa help cope with a disappointing sports day?

Danny Parkins 0:17
Thank God we bought the salsa.
Mike Ryan 0:19
Honestly, I would have been way more mad, but the chips and salsa are helping. This is a pathetic day in franchise history. This is one of the darkest moments for professional basketball in Miami, Florida.
Chris Cote 0:31
We're starting late because I was holding Zazz in my bosom and he was weeping and I had to call security because Mike Ryan had to be restrained from running across the street and strangling Pat Riley. Zazz, I heard pathetically while you were weeping into my bosom, the most pathetic lament I've ever heard from a Heat fan, which was, well, Shams has been wrong sometimes. True story. Has he been? Because I don't think he's been wrong very often. You're hoping that the reporting is wrong on this, and in the next hour there's some sort of shift that involves the Greek freak Giannis Antetokounmpo.

What makes this trade deadline a dark moment for the Miami Heat?

Chris Cote 1:13
I better learn that name. I thought I was going to have to learn that name.
Mike Ryan 1:15
No, you can forget about that name.
Chris Cote 1:16
You're fine.
Mike Ryan 1:17
That guy's a bum. You don't have to worry about that at all. Hey, we dodged a bullet, right? His body's going to break down. There's going to be a team that regrets acquiring that guy. Loser talk.
Steve Dangle 1:27
Look, I'm not mad. I'm mad at the whole scenario. I'm not necessarily mad at the heat, at least not yet. We have 50 minutes until the trade deadline. Who knows?

What are the implications of the potential Giannis trade for the Heat?

Steve Dangle 1:37
Mike Ryan, you're calling it one of the darkest days in the history of the franchise. It was only a few hours ago where you said if they wind up getting John Morant as a consolation, that today would still be a great day. So we still have 50 minutes remaining. So I'm not mad at the organization yet. We have another 50 minutes. But what I will be mad about is if they decide – We're not going to do anything significant today because we're going to run it back in the summer and make another run at Giannis. When the reality of it is, all Giannis had to do was go to Milwaukee because the Heat apparently were the last team standing, all right? And apparently Milwaukee did seriously consider the Heat's offer because it's a good offer.
Steve Dangle 2:15
If Giannis would have went to them and said, I want you to trade me to Miami now. Because as it looks now, Milwaukee is going to shut Giannis down for the remainder of the season. So Giannis essentially would rather not play basketball the rest of this year. How is that allowed? I don't know. How is that allowed?

How does the Heat's management plan affect their chances for the future?

Steve Dangle 2:33
Salt this commissioner in sports. Salt this commissioner in sports is going to allow a healthy superstar player to not play anymore this season because the team wants to tank. Okay. Yeah, but I will be angry if the Heat decide to run it back with their attempt to get Giannis.
Chris Cody 2:53
The Los Angeles Clippers are trading Ivica Zubats to the Indiana Pacers.
Chris Cote 2:59
He's a great player.
Chris Cody 3:00
Wow, Clippers really blowing it up, Dan.
Danny Parkins 3:03
Zubats is your guy.
Chris Cote 3:04
I love that dude.
Danny Parkins 3:05
Per source, according to Barry Jackson, Heat was informed very late last night that the Bucs would likely not be trading Giannis today. Heat offer received consideration. Obviously, Bam was never part of the deal, but there wasn't something that the Heat had that the Bucs asked for and the Heat resisted that killed the deal. Miami was willing to do what it took. Bucs simply wanted to see if they can get more this summer.
Chris Cote 3:24
More reporting I have for you here.

What are the reactions to the Clippers trading Ivica Zubats?

Chris Cote 3:26
Jake Fisher reports they were never serious, according to one team executive who was discussing a Giannis Antetokounmpo trade with Milwaukee. And Shams on Giannis says these teams engaged but never progressed even close to a deal over the last few days. Teams involved believe the Bucs feel they can build a contender around Giannis this summer and get him back on board to being there. Also from Jake Fisher, he says... As of last night, and this is going to make Mike even angrier, the Heat have not been actively pursuing Ja Morant, to my knowledge. Maybe now that they're out on Giannis, a Ja flip could happen.
