Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today's episode, Jason does a deep dive into potential landing spots for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. It was reported on Tuesday afternoon that the 49ers have officially granted Jimmy G the opportunity to seek out potential trades. Unfortunately for the Niners signal caller, almost every single NFL team currently has their starting quarterback in place; What this means then...

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off by debating whether or not the MLB All-Star Game is actually the best all-star game going right now. We can all agree that the Pro Bowl has become unwatchable and not enough people in this country care about hockey, so it really comes down to the MLB and NBA All-Star Games. Does the fact that the NBA stars play deep into the fourth quart...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Juan Soto's Home Run Derby victory. Interestingly enough, winning the Derby was easily the second most impressive thing he's done in the last few days. Lest we forget he also turned down a whopping $440 million contract extension from the Washington Nationals. Geesh! The second biggest story to come out on Monday involved the Los An...

On today’s episode, NBA.com and FOX Sports Radio NBA insider Mark Medina swings by for a lengthy conversation with Jason in which the two guys discuss the atmosphere in the gym when LeBron James made his return to the Drew League for the first time since 2011, why LeBron’s motivations to play in the Drew League may be just as political as they were practical, why the highly-discussed Kyrie Irving-...

With Colin out, Chris Broussard and Jason McIntyre step in to give their thoughts on Kevin Durant’s future and what it would mean for his legacy if he returned to the Golden State Warriors. They debate the likelihood the Lakers should consider trading LeBron James for another NBA superstar. Chris explains why he believes Lamar Jackson has limitation despite his success in the NFL. Plus, NBA champi...

Chris Broussard and Jason McIntyre in for Colin. Would be a bad idea for Kevin Durant to return to the Warriors? Would you consider a LeBron-for-KD trade?   Guest: Ephraim Salaam #oddcouple #straightfire See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on the wild Deandre Ayton saga that took place on Thursday. The Indiana Pacers thought they had Ayton signed, sealed and deliver... for about 3 hours. The Phoenix Suns had no choice but to match the offer sheet and keep their star center. Even if the Suns had no interest in giving Ayton a max deal, they couldn't afford to lose him for...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off with a quick note on the report that the Brooklyn Nets would be interested in Donovan Mitchell in any potential Kevin Durant trade. It's too soon to say whether or not a deal could actually come to fruition, but we did tell you yesterday that Mitchell and Durant wind up being linked together until one of them actually gets traded. Just sayin'. Later, Ulti...

On today’s episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off with a deep dive into the report that Kyrie Irving would prefer to stay with the Brooklyn Nets – whether Kevin Durant remains on the team or not. Has Kyrie finally come to the realization that no other team actually wants to trade for him so he’s trying to save face? Or is this just the latest case of an NBA franchise trying to manipulat...

On today's episode, Jason gets the party started by doing a quick run through a few of the biggest storylines to hit the wire on Monday, most notably a snafu involving a handful of ESPN staffers getting duped by a fake Ja Morant quote. Can you believe there are actual people out there who spend their lives cooking up fake quotes/headlines trying to dupe the media? Embarrassing. Later, 105.7 The Fa...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing a few thoughts on the Portland Trail Blazers' decision to sign Damian Lillard to a two-year, $122 million contract extension that will keep him in Portland until 2027. The Blazers have been good-but-not-great for years with Lillard, and now they just locked themselves into NBA purgatory for the next five years - at least. Portland should have r...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things by sharing his thoughts on the reports that Kyrie Irving is a sure thing to end up with the Los Angeles Lakers before next season. One word: Why? Kyrie has been a malcontent on every team he's been on since he left LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2017. There's a reason why the Lakers seem to be the only team interested in Kyrie's services; Let's j...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing a few thoughts on the Cleveland Browns' decision to trade former #1 overall pick Baker Mayfield to the Carolina Panthers. Mayfield has historically performed better as an underdog so it's safe to assume we should see the best version of Baker come out now that he's been kicked to the curb. However, even though incumbent Panthers starter Sam Dar...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by heaping major praise on Oklahoma City Thunder rookie big man Chet Holmgren following his Summer League debut. Holmgren looked as good as advertised, and he has to be the first sign of real optimism for Thunder fans since Kevin Durant left town back in 2016. Speaking of KD, with reports coming out now that the Brooklyn Nets are willing to wait things ou...

On today’s episode, Jason and Producer Rob G engage in a spirited debate about whether or not the addition of Kyrie Irving would be enough to vault the Los Angeles Lakers into title contention. On one hand, Kyrie’s career has been in a downward spiral ever since he left LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers back in 2017. On the other, is it fair to say that Kyrie, LeBron and Anthony Davis would...

On today’s special 4th of July episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on blockbuster trade that saw the Utah Jazz send big man Rudy Gobert to the Minnesota Timberwolves. Folks around the NBA insist that the Jazz 'won' the trade since they got 4 first round picks in the deal, but J-Mac argues that Minnesota deserves credit for pushing all in in hopes of cracking the top-4 of the Wester...

On today's episode, Jason open things up by sharing his thoughts on USC and UCLA bolting from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten conference. College football has been chaotic for years now (NIL, transfer portal, College Football Playoff expansion), but this could be the one that takes the cake. It's one of the rare instances where a clear money grab is actually good for the sport as a whole. Now, the only...

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off by sharing their thoughts on Draymond Green's assertion that the Golden State Warriors never would have won their titles in 2017 and 2018 without Kevin Durant. As crazy as it sounds, Draymond is right! Those Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron James and Kyrie Irving were arguably the best team in NBA history not to win a championship. Late...

On today’s episode, Jason gets the party started by sharing his thoughts on the New York Knicks’ relentless pursuit of free agent point guard Jalen Brunson. Brunson is a good but not great player so the fact that New York is so hell bent on acquiring him does give him a little bit of pause… unless there’s another big move coming after that. Could the Knicks open up even more cap space to add Zach...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on Kyrie Irving's decision to opt-in to his contract and return to the Brooklyn Nets for next season. The Nets front office played a game of chicken with Kyrie and won. We all knew that Irving didn't have much leverage coming in so it should come as no surprise then that he caved so quickly. The only question at this point then bec...

On today's episode, Jason kicks things off by sharing his thoughts on the reports that NFL will push for a minimum one-year suspension for Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson. Some might say one-year seems appropriate given the seriousness of the allegations, but the NFLPA may have other plans. If the NFL went light on Daniel Snyder, Robert Kraft and Jerry Jones for their indiscretions, wh...

On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G kick things off by weighing in on the reports that it's now expected that Kyrie Irving will be playing for a new team next season. It's clear at this point that Irving is using several members of the NBA media to push his agenda in an attempt to gain leverage over the Brooklyn Nets, and yet Jason and Rob are at odds about whether or not his plan will ac...

On today's episode, Jason brings you a full wall-to-wall preview of Thursday night's NBA Draft. During the conversation, J-Mac discusses the importance of projecting out what guys can become rather than just looking at what they are now, why he believes top-3 in-order will be Jabari Smith, Chet Holmgren and Paolo Banchero, why so much of Jaden Ivey's upside is tied to which team ultimately drafts...
