JJ opens with what he believes are two smart moves from the Knicks: extending Julius Randle and signing Kemba Walker. He then chats with SNY’s Ian Begley about how this sets the NBA franchise up for the future (9:35) before talking about the Mets and Yankees heading in completely opposite directions (28:15). Then, he reacts to some listener voicemails (39:35) before closing it out with SportsGrid’s Ariel Epstein for some NFL value bets (55:06).

We always want to hear from you! Leave JJ a message on the Listener Line at 917-382-1151.
