226. Chris Mannix on Harden/Embiid, LeBron/Lakers Power Struggle, CLE Return, Westbrook Disaster, Zion Future

First, Colin points out why the Nets and Lakers are failing to connect with their local markets, if a team can win a Super Bowl while paying Aaron Rodgers a historic $50 million per, and if Bucs Pro Bowl Guard Ali Marpet would have retired if Tom Brady come back for 2022. Then, SI Senior NBA Writer - and host of Boxing with Chris Mannix - Chris Mannix and Colin discuss if the James Harden and Joel Embiid marriage will eventually implode (11:00), how the public power struggle between LeBron and the Lakers will end (23:00), if the Cavs would blow up their young roster to get LeBron back (27:00), which young Cavs player should be untouchable in a LeBron deal (32:00), why the Russell Westbrook/LA disaster is entirely unsurprising (35:00), why Westbrook's lack of improvement as a shooter is so puzzling (42:00), if Zion Williamson should reject a max deal to force his way out of New Orleans (46:00), If KD regrets his decision to team up with Kyrie (52:00), and why the Knicks have severely regressed after a promising first year under Tom Thibodeau (54:00).
