  Use Code OPM for $25 on your first Deposit: novig.onelink.me/JHQQ/e4bbshtaSix days until tip-off! CJ and ZD are back with a jam-packed episode as the NBA regular season approaches. First, it's Texas Toast: the Spurs are coming off a Finals run, but the guys break down why the Rockets and Mavs might be a lot better than people think — from Kyrie Irving's dazzling return and Cooper Flagg's development in Dallas, to Fred VanVleet's comeback and Sengun's triple-double in Houston. Then it's a deep dive into a historically loaded rookie class: Caleb Wilson, AJ Dybantsa, Darryn Peterson, Cam Boozer, Darius Acuff, and more. Plus, Payton Pritchard's extension in Boston, Pablo Torre's investigation into LeBron's Fanatics helicopter arrangement (the dark side of the NBA), and the guys' Sixth Man of the Year predictions. The episode rounds out with the Portland Trail Blazers Off-Season File — building blocks Deni Avdija, Donovan Clingan, and Shaedon Sharpe, a look at their cap, tax, and draft capital situation, and a final grade for the franchise.00:00 Intro — 6 Days Until NBA Tip-Off03:39 Sponsor: Novig05:03 Around the League: Texas Teams — Spurs, Rockets & Mavs21:27 Rookie Rundown — 2025/2026 Draft Classes41:21 Payton Pritchard's Extension51:16 The Dark Side of the NBA — LeBron/Fanatics Investigation1:03:08 Sixth Man of the Year Predictions1:10:31 Portland Trail Blazers Off-Season File1:10:35 Building Around: Deni Avdija1:22:33 Building Around: Donovan Clingan1:33:45 Building Around: Shaedon Sharpe1:41:08 Cap, Tax & Roster Situation1:49:08 Draft Capital & Balance Sheet Grade1:55:17 What to Improve & Lean Into2:03:32 Final Grade: B-2:06:03 Outro
