Six in the Morning with Brett Kane

0:00 - Yesterday, with the 26th pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the Nuggets selected...no one. They traded their selection to the San Antonio Spurs for No. 35 and two future second round picks. What's the plan here? This has to mean another big move is coming, right?15:49 - Big picture, what do the Nuggets need? Have we diagnosed the main issue with last season's first round exit?After that, the NFL has cancelled the Supplemental Draft. Now Brendan Sorsby can't play college football this year, and can't be drafted into the NFL til 2027. He also can't sign as a free agent until he's gone through a full draft cycle. Get ready to learn CFL, buddy. The NFL is really trying to make an example of him, and it sets a dangerous precedent.36:43 - I bumped back with "Home" by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes, and it sent us down a rabbit hole about Stomp & Clap music and NPR Tiny Desk concerts. Welcome to summer radio, people.

0:00 - USA beat Australia in the World Cup over the weekend, and the reaction online from Australians was...something. Are we beefin' with the land down under now? Denver's finest and Friend of the Program Wyndham Clark won the US Open in front of a HOSTILE crowd at Shinnecock. Brett didn't realize there was so much hate for Clark! Good on him for persevering and winning his 2nd US Open. (The song I used in the show open was "The Sound of Silence." Hello darkness, my old friend. Today marks the beginning of the end.)14:09 - The Phoenix Suns are bringing back Collin Gillespie on a 4-year, $48 million contract. Remember when the Nuggets had him? Why couldn't they develop him and use him? Now, he's an integral part of Phoenix's depth.Also, Mike Sanford NAILED his Rockies 30 wins prediction. He predicted it DOWN TO THE DAY. Unreal. They won their 30th game on Saturday against the Pirates and man that was a strange finish.32:35 - Oh yeah, baby, it's time for another offseason list/ranking/ranking list/list ranking. ESPN published a list of the biggest surprise players for each team, so far, in this offseason. Jeff Legwold made the selection for the Broncos. Who did Leggy choose?

0:00 - Chris MacFarland got to Nashville, set up his desk, connected to the Wi-Fi, then immediately called his old team to make a deal. Ross Colton is headed to the Predators. The Avs got some draft picks and a goalie in return. Sakic is back to his wheelin' and dealin' ways. What's the game plan here? What's his next move?12:39 - Broncos Mandatory Mini-Camp is underway and everyone is focused on one thing and one thing only: BO NIX'S ANKLES, BABY. LFG. What did Bo himself have to say about his ankles yesterday?31:41 - Summer means one thing: rankings and lists. And ranking lists. Lists of rankings! The Ringer ranked the Top 100 NBA players now that the season's in the books. We know Jokic is on the list. Where does he rank. How many Nuggets cracked the Top 100?

0:00 - After 53 years, the New York Knickerbockers are NBA champions! Wemby talked a lot of smack this series, then his team blew lead after lead after lead in the series. If you talk the talk, you gotta walk the walk.Also, the Hurricanes are reunited with Lord Stanley after 20 years. And the best part is...Vegas ran out of magic. Their carriage turned back into a pumpkin. You love to see it.14:47 - While watching the NBA Finals, Brett noticed a similarity between the Knicks and the 2023 Denver Nuggets. Both of those championship teams had something in common.32:29 - The Rox dropped 23 runs on the A's in a minor league stadium yesterday. Even Drew Goodman couldn't believe that he was calling so many runs.After that, Brett's a fan of the Sean Payton extension. He's been a home run hire, and the Law Firm of Payton and Paton have been in lockstep since the beginning.
