The Morning Shift on 92.9 The Game

HR1 - Kristaps Porzingis trade comes with no downsides for Hawks In hour one Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac react to the Atlanta Hawks, Boston Celtics and Brooklyn Nets agreeing to a three-team deal yesterday that sent Celtics center Kristaps Porzingis and a second-round pick to the Hawks, Terance Mann and Atlanta's No. 22 pick to the Brooklyn Nets, and Georges Niang and a second-rounder to the Celtics. Also, as part of the deal, Boston will receive Cleveland's 2031 second-round pick, which the Hawks previously had the rights to, and Atlanta will take Boston's least favorable 2026 second-round choice. Mike, Beau, and Ali also talk about how Porzingis can make the Hawks a top five or a top six team in the East if he’s healthy. Then, The Morning Shift crew recaps and reacts to the Atlanta Braves coming back from a 3-0 deficit last night to beat the New York Mets 7-4 in game two of their four game series. Mike, Beau, and Ali also talk about how Matt Olson's hot June shows he's capitalized on Ronald Acuña Jr.'s return. The Morning Shift crew also talks about the biggest local and national headlines in The Front Page! On this edition of The Front Page Mike, Beau, and Ali let you hear Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers talk about how this season is likely his last season in the NFL before he retires in an interview he did on "The Pat McAfee Show" yesterday. The Morning Shift crew also explains why Rodgers saying this year is likely his last right now makes it more believable that this season is actually his last one. Mike, Beau, and Ali also quickly preview and mention that round one of the 2025 NBA Draft is tonight. Finally, The Morning Shift crew closes out hour one by diving into the life of Ali Mac in Ali’s Mac Drop!
