The Drive | Hour 1 | 07.07.25

Hour 1 of The Drive kicks off with Zach and Phil cross talking with Aniello and Danny. The guys discuss the ongoing story of Jonas Valanciunas reportedly wanting to return to Europe to play basketball and not honoring his contract with the Nuggets. Will the Nuggets be the “nice guy” and allow Valanciunas to play in Europe? Zach and Phil recap their 4^th of July weekend. How bad of a loss would Valanciunas be for the Nuggets’ second unit? We pivot to the Broncos and Zach asks if John Franklin-Meyers is an underrated and underpaid player that the team should be looking to keep in Denver. If the Zach and Phil were the GM of the Broncos, which looming contract extensions would they prioritize?
