LeBron James Uncertain Future with Lakers, Malik Beasley Scandal, Ace Bailey to Jazz | 6.30
On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Ace Bailey saga, LeBron James' future and the Malik Beasley investigation. Bo starts off the show by asking what did Ace Bailey actually want out of all of this (1:28) and whoever was representing him was making terrible decisions (11:57). Bo moves onto LeBron James opting into his $52M deal with the Lakers which makes life difficult for Rich Paul (13:36) and begs the question - is LeBron still severely underpaid (14:28) ? Bo rounds out the basketball discussion by saying Malik Beasley betting on props won't bother the general public (26:20) but why this will continue to ruin the integrity of the sport as long as we can bet from our phones (29:40). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving weight loss products, air conditioning in the summer and a dating app based on your search history (35:28). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time a fight broke out during a pickup basketball game. (45:57)

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones is joined by Tom Haberstroh of Yahoo Sports to discuss the 2025 NBA Draft.
