About this episode

The episode discusses the New Orleans Saints' schedule, the significance of Domecoming, and potential trades for the Pelicans in the upcoming NBA Draft.

The schedule is finally here, and there’s a lot to unpack for the New Orleans Saints. We react to the biggest stretches of the season, the toughest matchups, and what stands out most about Year 2 under Kellen Moore. Plus, we take a look back at the emotional 20th anniversary of the legendary Domecoming win over the Atlanta Falcons and why that night still means so much to New Orleans sports culture. Then we switch to the New Orleans Pelicans and break down what it would realistically take to trade back into the first round of the upcoming NBA Draft. Is it worth sacrificing future assets for another young piece? And finally, with major questions surrounding the frontcourt, is now the time for New Orleans to make a serious push for Myles Turner if he becomes available from the Milwaukee Bucks? We discuss the fit, the cost, and whether he’s the type of move that could actually change the direction of the franchise.
