NBA Trade Deadline Drama: Giannis, Harden, Porzingis (21:04–22:36)

Kyler Murray’s Viability as a Franchise QB
- Matt: “He’s just a wee, little bit of quarterback.” (31:04)

Kirk Cousins as Mentor
- Myron: “I think you would want Kirk Cousins if you have a young quarterback that you still aren’t sure about and you want that veteran backup.” (32:58)
