229. Prime Cuts: Ethan Strauss on NBA Media, Chris Mannix on Harden/Embiid, LBJ/Cavs Reunion & Mike Silver on Kyler

This is Prime Cuts! The best of the Colin Cowherd Podcast! First, Colin's top takes of the week, including why he's not as high on Ja Morant as the rest of the fawning NBA media, 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 had Tom Brady came back in 2022. Then (17:00), longtime NBA writer - and host of the House of Strauss Podcast - Ethan Strauss examines why the Cavs are drawing huge local ratings when the Lakers and Nets aren't, the difference between NFL and NBA, report and if Ben Simmons is destined to fail in Brooklyn. Next (29:00), SI Senior NBA Writer - and host of Boxing with Chris Mannix - Chris Mannix weighs in on if the James Harden and Joel Embiid marriage will eventually implode, and if the Cavs would blow up their young roster to get LeBron back. Finally (43:00), longtime NFL writer Mike Silver discusses the most recent public escalation of the drama between Cardinals QB Kyler Murray and the Cardinals, if Bruce Arians would really push to block Tom Brady from un-retiring elsewhere.
