Kai, Aaron, Diego and Mike come through with another off-the-cuff episode following the untimely firing of Milwaukee Bucks rookie coach Adrian Griffin and debate whether or not the move was justified and if Doc Rivers, with his less-than-ideal postseason record, was the right man for the job going forward. They also dig into the Miami Heat joining the fray on the trade market by acquiring Terry Rozier from the Charlotte Hornets and where this might position them going forward. Lastly, they quickly touch on some massive outings from Joel Embiid and Karl-Anthony Towns!
Despite a short-handed crew, Kai, Aaron, and Mike hop on the mic to discuss the blockbuster deal that sent Pascal Siakam to the Indiana Pacers. They talk about Siakam's fit alongside Tyrese Haliburton and where they now stand in the Eastern Conference landscape. The boys then reflect on Siakam's journey in Toronto, what he meant for the franchise and his rather sad exit amidst the messy trade rumours and contract discussions.
The first episode of 2024 is here! Hopping off from last week's blockbuster, the boys evaluate the early returns of the Knicks-Raptors trade that sent OG Anunoby to New York and RJ Barrett and Immanuel Quickley to Toronto. Later, they discuss all the surrounding storylines of the Warriors' disaster of a season, including Draymond Green's impending return, Jonathan Kuminga and Moses Moody's frustration with Steve Kerr, and Andrew Wiggins' fall off. Next, Aaron goes HAM on Darvin Ham and how he has mishandled this Lakers roster so far. They also talk about whether a Zach LaVine trade would salvage the season. They end the episode on potential destinations for LeBron James should the Lakers trade him (they won't).
No more winter break for the boys as they hop on for a must-listen emergency episode after the Toronto Raptors and New York Knicks got together for an absolute BLOCKBUSTER just ahead of the new year, swapping OG Anunoby, Precious Achiuwa and Malachi Flynn for Immanuel Quickley, R.J. Barrett and a second-round pick! They then quickly touch on the other massive breaking news from Saturday night as the Raptors then went on to lose to the lowly Detroit Pistons, ending their historic losing streak at 28 games. What a roller coaster!
The boys are back with a recap of what was an exciting, shocking and overall super-successful inaugural NBA In-Season Tournament. They weigh in on LeBron handing the Pacers, and more importantly Father Time, an L, Anthony Davis turning it on whenever he plays at neutral sites, Tyrese Haliburton's rising star and whether or not the Lakers need to do anything drastic with the trade season looming. They also touch on Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets going a bit cold and whether it's something to be worried about.
