It's just normal though that it just gets boring after a while, especially if you watch multiple ones. In the end it comes down to listening to a few Millionaires telling you about how they travelled all year through the country and played basketball. Some banged a lot of chicks, some gambled, some partied, some were constantly drunk/high. It's like hanging out with some old friends and talking about back in the days, kinda fun to do it sporadically, but it gets on your nerve when you are arount somebody that talks about nothing else.
The thing with Basketball or sports media in general is that the Internet has kind of made them unneccessary. I can look up pretty much every data and statistic myself. So I don't need some NBA media guy telling me that player A shoots bellow league average in the post and so on. On the other side it makes NBA media people even look lazier and more uneducated when they bring a hot take that can be debunked within 10 seconds through google and it looks even worse if they don't get called out for it, since the other cast participants don't know better either.
So then it's basically a podcast where a few people talk about a topic they either don't have much knowledge about, are biased, or have a flawed opinion. Yes they might have played a few years in the league, but it doesn't automatically mean that they understand the business or what's currently going on in the league. I guess everybody that has worked in a few jobs and companies has met dozens of employees that were absolutely clueless about their job, had zero understanding how their company worked, or why certain decisions were made and in a lot of cases those same people thought of themselves as awesome employees and top performers.

I think there's a place for player podcasts. Podcast P is pretty interesting when there's a good guest on since PG is a gracious and inquisitive host. But you couldn't pay me to listen to most NBA player podcasts

Many, many things with podcasts aren't interesting enough to have the amount of podcasts there are about them. The secret is that you don't have to watch all of them. If you just watch one, or watch here and there, you're not feeling any over saturation.
You would only feel that if you felt some need to keep up with everything, but that would be on you.

No
For the likes of Draymond, one podcast is still one podcast too many.
