Chris Mannix is joined by Mark Medina to react to Day 1 of NBA free agency as Kyrie Irving re-signs with the Dallas Mavericks, the Houston Rockets sign Fred VanVleet, and the Portland Trail Blazers re-sign Jerami Grant. They discuss why Kyrie Irving returning to the Mavs was inevitable, why the Rockets prioritizing Fred VanVleet over James Harden is the right decision, and whether the Blazers front office is capable of building a winning team around Damian Lillard.

    Rockets sign a 29 year old to a bad team for $130. How does that make sense . Pacers get $45 mil for 2 for Brown. Kuze 100m to be a garbage time 20 point scorer . The Reeves deal has to hurt balling out but hes offered 52 mil for 4. 99% these are bad deals

    Portlamd isnt getting a ton for Lillard . and Dame stayed there knowing they were trash . Its on both… Not many teams have the assets . Chris is talking nuts . 😂

    Kyrie.. Dallas had to do it even if its a year to long. Only hope is Lebron ckmes to Dallas with Bronny drafted . Otherwise hes gone next year . 😢

    Fred VanVleet getting $130 is wild. Thinking FVV is worth $130M is a joke

    All these name_4digit names. Anyone thinking its a little suspicious? Its feeling like mass generation of bots?

    I think the Mavs made like Bandits and took Kyrie to the cleaners! Great deal for a #1 free agent! Rather have Kyrie than VanVleet for More money! Kyrie was cheaper them VanVleet! We better now with him under contract for 3 yrs. Kyrie put up Big numbers when he got here! We just needed a Damn Center and people who play defense here and they seem to have learned after drafting the 7'1" Lively Elete Shot Blocker and rim protector! and O-MAX going to be one of the Biggest Steals of the Draft! I see Dallas back in the Conf Finals this year! GO MAVS!!!!
