Episode Description

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross-talking with Dover and Jake. The guys do a full deep dive into the Western Conference Finals and preview Game 7 tomorrow night. Is the Thunder's championship window already closing with many contributors being free agents heading into the offseason? Zach and Phil react to the lack of news on Jared Bednar and debate if the silence around the situation means Bednar will be returning to the Avalanche. Zach re-pitches the idea of the Broncos trading for Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson. How much would it cost the Broncos to bring in Richardson? Would Richardson be able to take work off Bo Nix's plate in running situations? Are the Broncos in a position to "rehab" Richardson, or do they need a win-now backup quarterback? Does Sean Payton still feel the same way about Jarrett Stidham after the AFC Championship? We react to a trade idea that involves the Nuggets sending out Aaron Gordon in return for Derrick Jones Jr. and a first-round pick. Could the Nuggets take a step back financially and competitively to reset the organization moving forward?
