In the middle of what is usually the quiet period of the NBA calendar — when the focus should be on the basketball Hall of Fame and the WNBA — James Harden and the 76ers have kept the drama going. The 76ers ended trade talks (for now) for Harden and say they want to bring him to camp, Harden called 76ers President Daryl Morey a "liar" and said he would never play in an organization Morey is part of.

Is there a good outcome for anyone in this scenario? Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin of NBC Sports discuss that and how both sides have few good options.

Then the conversation shifts to Diana Taurasi, who became the first woman to break the 10,000-point barrier in the WNBA. They discuss her place in the league, and if she should be in Paris next summer as part of Team USA at the Olympics. From there the conversation takes a sharp shift to discussing how Radiohead ties into the Australian NBL in Corey's Jukebox.

Finally, the duo discusses and previews the Northwest Division. Denver is a contender with Nikola Jokić, but how much will they miss Bruce Brown and Jeff Green? Are we sleeping on the Oklahoma City Thunder? What exactly are the Minnesota Timberwolves and are they Anthony Edwards' team now? Where is Utah in its development, and where does John Collins fit in? Then there is Portland, with the Damian Lillard trade looming and a shift to the Scoot Henderson era.

Natalie and Zena Keita host Ladies First Fridays today on BFA. They discuss WNBA influencer Ari Chambers’ coverage of women’s sports and the two Hashtag Sports Awards that she recently won, A’ja Wilson’s reaction to President Biden’s tweet about the Vegas Golden Knights, and the WNBA’s expansion of its travel policy to include public charter flights after Brittney Griner was confronted at the airport. Michael Smith and Marcus Thompson join the show to react to Ja Morant’s 25-game suspension for a second gun incident and the Denver Nuggets’ championship parade. Dawn Montgomery and Shalise Manza-Young join the show to discuss Tori Bowie’s death during childbirth and the high maternal mortality rates among Black women.

The Denver Nuggets left no doubt who was the best team in the NBA. Not only did they roll through the West, but also the Miami Heat dragged the game into the mud and played much of the Finals on their terms. It did not matter. The Nuggets beat the Heat at their own game.

Corey Robinson and Kurt Helin from NBC Sports dive into the Nugget's win and then tackle the big questions: Can they repeat and win another? Can they turn this into a dynasty?  That tied directly into Corey's jukebox, which compares early Fleetwood Mac to where the Nuggets are right now.

Finally, the duo dives into trade talk — will Bradley Beal be on the move — and the upcoming NBA Draft, where the four picks after No. 1 are available for the right price. Would the Pelicans be willing to move Zion Williamson to land Scoot Henderson? It's not out of the question.

Michael Holley and Michael Smith react to the Nuggets winning their first NBA championship in franchise history. Natalie joins the show to debunk some of the Nikola Jokic narratives during the NBA season. Kurt Helin joins them to weigh-in on whether the Nuggets are the next dynasty team, Nikola Jokic’s legacy and ranking among NBA greats and what’s next for the Heat after another Finals loss. Dr. Jason Johnson joins Holley and Smith to answer for his prior Nikola Jokic takes. They also review ‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ and discuss the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe in Hollywood.
