Episode notes
Bam Adebayo 83 Points Was Legitimate
- Bam Adebayo's 83-point game is legitimate despite facing a very young, tanking Wizards starting five.
- Colin Cowherd cites Bam's 31 first-quarter points, 62 after three, and 43 free-throw attempts as proof of authenticity.
Crosby Trade Fell Apart Because Of A Failed Physical
- Maxx Crosby trade to the Ravens collapsed after he failed a physical, which explains the sudden unraveling.
- Colin notes Crosby was dinged last year, was reportedly on crutches until recently, and the Ravens had offered two first-round picks.
Raiders Should Keep Flexibility After Trade Collapse
- If you're the Raiders and Crosby returns, stay open to re-engaging trades but protect value and consider alternatives.
- Colin suggests Raiders could instead convert multiple mid-round picks and keep a veteran leader while retooling youth.
