THE HERD - Hour 1 - Spurs vs Knicks tonight, thoughts on a possible Aaron Donald return, Les Snead

The Herd with Colin Cowherd kicks off its NBA Finals coverage with a deep dive into the Spurs vs. Knicks matchup, arguing that this series could be one of the greatest in league history due to its stark stylistic contrast—San Antonio’s draft-and-develop philosophy versus New York’s star-studded, trade-heavy approach. Cowherd emphasizes that Wemby’s dominance and the Knicks’ physicality create a rare 'Celtics-Lakers' vibe, with both teams built on authentic, distinct identities. The episode then pivots to NFL offseason chaos, spotlighting the Rams’ blockbuster acquisition of Myles Garrett, which has redefined their Super Bowl hopes. Les Snead, the Rams’ GM, joins live to reveal the emotional toll of trading young star Jared Verse for Garrett, calling it a 'difficult choice' made possible only with ownership’s blessing. The discussion turns to Aaron Donald’s rumored return, with Cowherd and Snead both suggesting that Donald’s motivation would hinge on being able to meaningfully impact a championship-caliber team. The episode ends with a candid look at the Falcons’ massive Drake London contract, highlighting the league’s growing financial imbalance and the unpredictability of Atlanta’s performance.
