Game Over with Max Kellerman and Rich Paul

Max and Rich break down the Dodgers' financial machine and why other MLB owners have no excuse not to compete with it. From there, it's the NBA's European expansion—a tech billionaire eyeing a London franchise and what it means for young prospects—plus a deep dive on the LeBron "ring-chasing" debate and Wemby's shoe prospects.

Max and Rich kick things off by analyzing the NBA landscape now that the biggest free-agency moves have been made, including how LeBron going to Philly takes the media pressure off his new teammates. They then talk a little NFL, as Max asks if Patrick Mahomes has the potential to be the greatest Comeback Player of the Year following his ACL injury. Next, they discuss if Bryce Harper was out of pocket for saying the Phillies need to make some moves at the trade deadline. Lastly, we close with a couple of your emails!

Wednesday’s Game Over starts with a surprise drop-in from Bill Simmons, and of course they have to talk movies after Bill’s seen 'The Odyssey' twice already. Pat Riley made some comments about players needing to avoid reacting to their name swirling around in trade rumors (6:05). Did those rumors contribute to Jaylen Brown’s trade out of Boston? Deuce McBride spoke about role players in the NBA; do his comments align with Rich’s stance on starring in your role (19:55)? Bill wonders if Rich is going to be running a team before the year 2033 (25:34), and does his best to convince Rich to get LeBron to Golden State. Then, which fantasy basketball trio would win the most championships (50:24)?
