The regular episode 23 is now under construction after Kawhi Leonard announced his signing with the Los Angeles Clippers.
Carlos responded by hopping on the microphone and putting out some thoughts on the signing and some of the response of the Lakers to the signing, some thoughts on how this impacts Russell Westbrook and in general continues being a Lakers contrarian regarding their chances in the 2019-2020 season.
There should be another UN Pod Extra this week as a bonus since the main topic of Radio in Sports was a good one, but that should appear on the "Unnecessary Nonsense Podcast" YouTube Channel found here:

Dave returns as he and Carlos discuss matters pertaining to the Stanley Cup Final (2:48) briefly before going into a deeper dive on the NBA Finals (9:04). Discussions will revolve around the series thus far, minority owners who can’t keep their hands to themselves, what we think will go down in game 4 and the rest of the series. How does this affect Kawhi and does Kevin Durant even return if Golden State loses game 4 amongst other matters.
