Episode 20 | The Parting Gifts (SAN Spurs)
Most Corporations Gift Mense A Gold Watch When They Finally Retire After 20+ Years Of Service... But What Do You Really Get A Man Like Coach Pop, Who Has Won You 5 NBA Championships Since Taking Charge Of Your Organization? Maybe Another Ring? After A Nigh Endless Series Of Golden Ages That Were Highlighted By All-Star Caliber Leading Talents Like David Robinson, Tim Duncan & Kawhi Leonard, The Spurs Have Been On A Rebuilding Journey Of Late, Once Which Saw Them Miss Out On The Playoffs Last Season, For The First Time In Pop's Tenure, Which Is Something They Don't Seem Intent On Watching A Repeat Of Last Season.
LaMarcus Aldridge Had Been Sat Down In Lure Of A Potential Trade Or Buy-Out Post March 25, Which Shows Some Of The Spurs Hand Going Into The Off-Season... Trading Away L.A. While Looking To Get Back Some Young Talent To Kickstart This Rebuild & Gift Pop A Team That He Can Win One Last Ring With, Now That's A Retirement Gift Befitting Of The Man Who Will Go Down As Arguably The Greatest Basketball Coach Ever & An Exemplary Example For Humankind Too... Methinks That The Chicago Should Be Open To Listening, As Zach LaVine & Lauri Markkanen Are Two Young Players That Would Fit Perfectly In San Antonio Under Pop, While Chicago Gets Back The Assets That They Need To Kickstart Their Own Rebuilding Process.
Episode 19 | The Kids Are Alright... (CHA Hornets)
For Many A Young Basketball Fan, Michael Jordan Is The Gateway Into The Game - I Fell In Love With B-Ball Through My Older Brother & Uncle, Who Are Both Big Fans Of The GOAT Himself - For One Of The Greatest Players Of All-Time, If Not The Greatest, To Own An NBA Franchise Today Is Actually Rather Cool... MJ Has Opened Up So Many Lanes For Modern Athlete's & Entertainers, Yet His Ownership Of The Charlotte Hornets Is Arguably One Of His Biggest Accomplishments Yet. Equity Ownership Is Something That Is Very Dear To Us As Young People Of Colour In The World Today, To See One Of Our Own Attain It Is Awe-Inspiring Is So Many Ways. Now All MJ Needs To Do Is Build The Hornets Up Into A Competitive Team, Over The Next Few Season's, While Praying That LaMelo Ball Develops Into The Transcendental Talent That He Has Showcased The Potential To Become Early On.
With Melo Out Injured For The Rest Of The Season, The Hornets Will Have To Step It Up In His Absence If They Desire To Make It Into The Playoffs This Season, Even With LaMelo Out Injured After Making Such An Impressive Start Early On This Season. MJ Is Known To Be High On Scary Terry Rozier, While DeVonte Graham & Malik Monk Are In Contract Years, Making It A Very Key Next Couple Of Months For The Hornets Front Office... We Cooked Up A Couple Of Trades To Try & Fast Track The Rebuilding Process Out In Charlotte...
Episode 18 | Rebuilding The Band (UTA Jazz)
There Is Some Poetic Justice In The Manner Through Which The Utah Jazz Transitioned On So Effortlesly From The Gordon Hayward Years, While Feasibly Improving On From Where They Were Before The Arrival Of Their New Franchise Player Donovan Mitchell, Who Rose From Being Overlooked In The Draft To A Surefire Rookie Of The Year Candidate In Just His First Season As A Pro. Having Elevated His Game To An All-Star Level, Alongside Fellow All-Star Centre Rudy Gobert, Spyda Mitchell Now Seems Set To Take Utah Up A Notch & Elevate Them To The Heights That They Saw Under Hall-Of-Famer's Karl Malone & John Stockton. With The 1st Seed In The West Theirs For The Time Being, Utah Has Been Able To Glimpse Into The Potential Future Of A Mitchell-Led Jazz Band & It Would Behoove Them To Invest In More Complimentary Teammates For Spyda To Begin Perfecting His Melodies Alongside As He Prepares For His Golden Opportunity To Potentially Make That Western Conference Top Spot His Home For The Foreseeable Future, Setting The Jazz Up To Potentially Win It All Someday Soon.
On This Episode Of Two 2nd-Round Picks & A Fax Machine, We Explored A Few Trades For The High-Flying Utah Jazz... Looking To Get Younger Talent Around Donovan Mitchell, While Adding Some More Perimeter Shooting & Depth In One Trade; While Going Hunting For A Pair Of Talented Young Ballers In Atlanta That Could Potentially Shift The Timeline For Utah Into A Potential Dynastic Run Built Around A Trio Of Upward Trending Prospects & A Handful Of Wiley Old Vets That Know How To Win... We Tried To Make Moves That Will Set The Right Tone For Utah's Rebuilding Of The Band, While Making Sure That They Continue To Hit These High Notes That They've So Far Successfully Managed To Hit This Season.
Peace!
Episode 17 | Kini Big Deal Bucks (MIL Bucks)
Episode 16 | Still Blazin' (POR Trailblazers)
Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy; When The Portland Trailblazers Drafted Damien Lillard Out Of Weber State University With The 6th Pick In 2012, They Already Had A Pretty Good Foundation In LaMarcus Aldridge, While Trading Gerald Wallace To The Nets Landed Them A Top-3 Protected Pick That Ended Up Falling In The 6th Slot Where The Basketball God's Made Up For The Brandon Roy & Raymond Felton Situations With Damien Lillard & CJ McCollum Coming In With The 10th Pick Of The 2013 Draft, Effectively Ensuring A Rebuild That Needn't Necessarily Come With Consecutive Losing Seasons. Coming From Being The JailBlazers, To A Perennial Playoff Team That Features A Player Who Is Top 10 In The League Should Be A Win For Portland; Yet They've Been Unfairly Compared To The Golden State Warrior's, Who Have Maximized Their Transcendent Player Into 3 Rings & A Dynastic Run Which Now Sees Them Join The Upper Echelons Of NBA Royalty; The Trailblazers Can Only Control Their Own Narrative & Pray That Things Open Up For Then Out West, As They Probably Would've Already Been Champions In Any Other Era Not Dominated By A Pair Of Lads Born In The Same Akron Hospital.
Damien Lillard Is The Future Of Portland Still, It May Sound Crazy To Some But 30 Is Very Young For A Modern Guard... The Combination Of Dame & CJ Is Hard Not To Fall In Love With, Yet It Seems Hard To Win A Ring With The Pair Of Them In Portland As We've Continually Seen Over The Past 6/7 Season's. We Explored Trades That Can Either Prepare Portland To Give It One Final Try With Dame & CJ Plus Some Much Needed Defensive Anchor / Interior Scorer Help, Or Even Exploring The Option Of Selling High On CJ While He's Averaging A Career High In Points During An Injury Shortened Season. Whichever Way They Opt To Peal This Onion, The Portland Front Office Will Have To Do Something In Order To Ensure That Damien Lillard's Star Continues To Blaze A Trail Throughout This League... Who Knows, Maybe One Of Gray Trent Jr., Anfrenee Simmons, CJ Elleby & Zach Collins & Harry Giles Will Breakout Over The Next Few Seasons To Become The Long-Term Complimentary Piece That They've Yearned For And Seemed To Have Found In OG Melo.

Episode 15 | Keeping The Pace (IND Pacers)
The Modern NBA Has Gradually Become More Of A Feast Or Famine Reality For Most Ball-Clubs... You Either Get A Window To Shoot For The Chip & Be Winsome As An Organization, Or You're Facing The Uncontrollable Factors That Now Come With A Rebuild That's Based On Tanking Or Intentionally Losing In An Unveiled Attempt To Try & Boost Your Teams Draft Odds. It's Rather Rare To Find Yourself In The Middle Of Those Two Realities In Today's NBA, Where Owners, GMs, Fans & Even Players Often Lack The Wherewithal To Keep Up With The Pace Of The Race Leaders, Even Though They May Not Be Good Enough To Win It All Just Yet... The Indiana Pacers Have Done Amazingly Well To Remain Relevant & Competitive For Nearly 3 Decade's; From The Reggie Miller Golden Year's, Onto The Early Danny Granger / Paul "Playoff-P" George Era, Through Onto The Current Turner/ Brogdon/ Sabonis Generation, Indy Have Been A Perennial Playoff Team That Always Seemed A Piece Or Two Away From Going Up To That Championship Contender Level.
Without Been A Major Free-Agent Destination, Indy Still Manage To Put Out A Playoff Caliber Team, Albeit In The LEASTern Conference, Which Is A Major Credit To The Professional Manner In Which The Front Office & Backroom Staff Approaches Player / Personnel Development Regardless Of Where Players Were Drafted Or How Much They Are Paid, The Pacers Will Get Max Production Out Of Them & Also Improve Them As Young Men Off The Court, Which Means That Indiana As An Organization Will Always Win In The Game Of Life, Even When The Score Of The Games Go Against Them Sometimes... We Cooked Up A Few Trades That Would See Indy Continue Their Great Tradition Of Being Competitive For The Next Few Seasons, While Potentially Opening Up A Window For Themselves To Come Out Of The East & Have A Shot At Winning The Sacred Larry O'Brian Trophy.

Episode 14 | Learning How To Fly (NO Pelicans)
It’s Rapidly Become A Norm For Young Players In Smaller Markets To Bide Their Time And Develop On Their Rookie Deals, Resign With The Team That Drafted Them To Maximize Their Contract Value And Only Then Do They Take A Step Back To Reassess Where They Are In Their Personal Development, In Relation To How The Team Is Developing Towards That Championship Winning Level Befitting Of Said Players Pedigree, Before We Hear Murmurs Of Them Wanting Out Or Being Disgruntled. Granted, For Every Anthony Davis There Will Be A Damian Lillard Or A Stephen Curry, Who Ride It Out With Their Team Regardless Of What The Odds Are, Honourably So. The One Thing That May Have Begun To Change Within This Dynamic, Is The Ages At Which The Prodigy’s Begin To Think Of Wanting Out In Lure Of Greener Pastures These Days - Giannis Has Doubled Down On The Dame & Steph Playbook, By Staying In Milwaukee And Looking To Bring Talent To Him, Instead Of Going Elsewhere To Play And Try Win It All - Which Makes A Youngster Like Zion Williamson Even More Intriguing As A Prospect, Provided The New Orleans Pelicans Get It Right In Player Acquisition And Player / Personnel Development Over The Next 2 Seasons, Zion Will Probably Become A Champion In New Orleans Before He Retires There As A One Team Player, Something Many Wouldn’t Think Would Be Possible In The Super-Friends AAU 2K Build-A-Team Era.
The Clock Has Officially Begun For The Pelicans, As It Pertains To Operation Build Around Zion & Brandon Ingram As Their Cornerstones - Having Recouped A Few Good Assets In The Anthony Davis To LA Trade, You Now Have A Situation Where New Orleans Can Feasibly Get Very Good, Very Fast, Through Trades, Free Agency And The Draft Market, While A Few Great Young Staff Hires Wouldn’t Hurt Them Much Either - The Free Agency Signings All Seemed Geared Towards Getting Better To Help Zion & B.I. Push For A Play-In / Late Playoff Seed, Yet The Team May Need A Lot More Tweaking, Before They Can Really Be Ready To Take That Next Step And Become A Perennial Playoff Team Out West... A Process That They Have 3 Years To Master, Before Hopefully Resigning Zion On A Long-Term SuperMax Deal And Making A Concerted Run At The Finals, Knowing That A Few Current Older Stars May Be Getting Towards The End Of Their Peaks, Leaving A Window For Zion To Begin His Own Reign In The NBA, As A New Orleans Pelican (For Life).

Episode 13 | The SexLand Cavaliers (CLE Cavaliers)
The History Of NBA Franchises Who Lose All-Time Great Players In Trades Or Free-Agency, Doesn’t Tend To End Well... We’ve Seen How It Can Often Take A Team Decades To Recover From The Loss Of A Great Player, Regardless Of The Picks Or Player Assets That They May Get Back In A Trade, Or The Opportunity Cost They Paid For The Success Enjoyed When Times Were Good. The Cleveland Cavaliers Took A Series Of Hard Losses During The End Of LeBron James’ 2nd Reign In His Hometown Of Akron; Losing Kyrie Irving For Next To Nothing, Constantly Trading Away Your First Rounders For “More Pieces” Like D-Wade / D-Rose & Rodney Hood / George Hill, Coupled With Them Now Having To Watch Andrew Wiggins Blossom Into A Potential Superstar In Golden State, While The Only Remnant Of The Glory Years In BelieveLand, Is An Albatross Kevin Love Contract & Some Specks Of Leftover Confetti In The Locker Room.
Cleveland Has Done Amazingly Well To Return Back To Some Degree Of Prominence, After Losing LeBron For Free And Barely Getting Anything Back For Kyrie Irving In The Boston Highway Robbery Trade (Part 2)... We Looked Into A Couple Of Potential Trades That Are Designed To Help Strengthen This Young SexLand Core, With Some More Complimentary Talent That Could Comfortably See The Cavs Securing Their Place Back In The Playoff Picture Out East, With Room To Make A Run Over The Coming Years, As Some Of The League's Superstars Begin To Come To The Tail-End Of Their Careers & Open Up A Window For A Now Seasoned Cavs Team To Return To The Summit Of The Eastern Conference. However GM Kobe Altman Chooses To Approach The Next Few Weeks, We Will Certainly Have To Keep An Eye On These Here Cavs, To See What They May Become In The Seasons To Come.

Episode 12 | Houston, We Solved The Problem... (HOU Rockets)
Player Power Is A Growing Reality Is Sports, One That Team Owners, GMs, Coaches And Fanbases Are All Having To Acclamatize To, Due To The Reality Of What This All Means For Their Beloved Franchises. The Houston Rockets Have Had A First Had Look Into The Pros & Cons Of Having To Acquiesce To A Superstar Play, In Order To Keep Them Happy And Optimize Your Chances Of Winning It All. The Rockets Gave All They Could To Make James Happy In Houston And They Even Managed To Put Together Some Really Competitive Teams In His Time With Them, It All Ultimately Came To Naught, As James Publicly Wanted Out And Left Houston With No Option But To Trade Away Two All-Star Players In Their Peak, From A Selling Position, In A Rather Constrained Market, Due To Covid Potentially Affecting The Salary Cap Again Next Season And Teams Being Unwillingly To Take On Such Huge Salaries In Exchange For Too Many Assets.
James Finally Got Is Trade To Brooklyn, Via The Harden Route... The Houston Rockets Can Actually Begin Their Off-Season Now, As They Begin To Ascertain Their New Identity. The Return Of John Wall & Victor Oladipo From The Westbrook & Harden Trades Was Rather Impressive, While They Are Both All-Star Calibre Players Recovering From Injuries, They Add To This New Resilient Nature Of These New Rockets, A Team Littered With Players That Have A Point To Prove, Even If It’s Just To Themselves... Add In A First Year Head Coach In Paul Silas And A Billionaire Owner In Tilman Fertitta Into The Mix And Things Are Certainly Going To Get Interesting Out In Houston. We’ve Seen How Eager They Are To Strike Deals In The Past, When Darryl Morey Was In Charge As GM, Now That Raphael Stone Is At The Helm It Will Be Intriguing To See Just How Houston Chooses To Approach Things Over The Course Of This Season. We’ve Cooked Up Some Trades To Keep Them In Contention Out West, While Doubling Down On Their Newfound Appetite For Bringing In Superstars On The Mend To Rehabilitate And Potentially Cash In On.

Episode 11 | Hawk Eye Vision (ATL Hawks)
The Trade Deadline Is 2 Months Away And We Have Already Seen Some Teams Show Their Hand In The Market, The Atlanta Hawks Are One Of The Teams Who Could Potentially Improve Their Squad Even Further, By Entering Into The Trade Market. After A Great Off-Season, That Involved Picking Up Some Great Back-Up Point Guard Help In Rajon Rondo & Kris Dunn, Along With Wing Shooting In Bogdan Bogdanovic & Danilo Gallinari, The Hawks Added To Their Young Nucleus Of Trae Young, Kevin Huerter, De’Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish, John Collins & Clint Capela, To Effectively Move Their Timeline Up From A Developing Team, Into A Win-Now Ball Club That Will Have To Start Making Noise In The East With A Playoff Finish.
At a The Start Of The Season, We Had The Hawks Finishing 8/9 And In That Play-In Picture Out East, We Focused On Making Some Trades To Improve Those Odds, While Ensuring That We Retain As Much Of The Young Core As Possible. Trae Young Has Ascended Into A Young Superstar, Who Is Now Ready To Start Winning At The Highest Level, Or Learning How To Do That... Atlanta Made Some Draft Pick Sacrifices To Draft Trae Ahead Of Luka Doncic, Who Has Grown Into An MVP Level Player Already, The Time Has Come For The Hawks To Go All In On The Trae Young Experiment And Build A Team That He Can Lead To Glory In The Years To Come.
One Things For Sure, And Two Things Are For Certain... Atlanta Will Need To Do Some Business To Help Trae Win Now, Or He Will Walk Down The Line. One Needn’t Have Hawk Eye Vision To See Where The Tide Is Turning, In A Player-Power Driven League Of Superteams & AAU SuperFriend Combos.

Episode 10 | Coming Of Age (DEN Nuggets)
Compliments Of The New Year 🥳To You All! We Pray You Transitioned Well Into 2021, Unlike The 2020 NBA Finalist Denver Nuggets; Featured On Episode 10 Of Our TradeNBA Fantasy Trade Podcast Series; After A Relatively Slow Start To The 2021 Season, Based Off Their Finish Last Season, The Nuggets Are Now Looking Like A Team That Has Been Too Reactive In The Market For Talent, As Joker, Jamal & Porter Jr. Remain The Only Long-Term Talent That Has Justified A Rated Return On Investment, Or Showcased The Ability To Be Trusted Whenever Denver Do Reach The Finals Again. Denver Have A Transcendent Big-Man Like Nikola Jokic, A Potential Perennial All-Star Guard In Jamal Murray, And A Rapidly Rising Young Superstar In Michael Porter Jr., Yet They Are Still A Few Pieces Away From Where They Would Like To Be In The Seasons To Come.
In An Attempt To Help Improve The On-Court Fortunes Of The Nuggets, We Rolled Up & Cooked Up 2 Sets Of Trades, That Could Each Shake-Up The NBA & Also Position Denver As A Sure-Fire Championship Contender For The Next Few Years. The Denver Nuggets Are Now On The Clock, After Breaking-Through Last Season, The Made Some Pretty Decent Off-Season Moves To Keep Things Afloat, Yet Without Another Huge Leap From Their 3 Stars, And A Quantum Leap From One Or Two Younger Guys, Denver Are In Danger Of Regressing & Potentially Alienating Your Stars, Due To A Lack Of Forward Progress. Whatever Happens For Denver In This Coming Of Age Season For The Players, Coaches & Fans Alike; Who Have Been Fully Vested In This Project For A While Now; One Thing’s For Sure, And Two Things Are For Certain, You Can Either Go Big & Lose To The Big-Boys, Or You Can Remain Passive Aggressive, And Then Lose Your Stars To The Big-Boys... Oksalayo, It’s Finna Be A Shubilie!

Episode 9 | A Spike In The Right Direction (NYK Knicks)
The New York Knickerbockers Have Long Been Seen As A Storied NBA Franchise, With Very Little New Millennium Success To Show For Their Previous Greatness... Post The Golden Era, When The Garden Was Eden & The Knick’s Won 2 NBA Titles In 1970 & 1973, The Blue & Orange Fans Have Had Very Little Reason To Celebrate What Has Been Happening In New York Over The Last Few Decades. A Change In Backroom Staff & Boardroom Executives Over The Past 3 Seasons, Has Gradually Led To The Organization Beginning To Find Their Feet Again, In An Age Where Meticulous Planning & Visionary Foresight Can Rapidly Propel A Team Into The Upper Echelons Of Modern Sports. Having Recently Watched How The Golden State Warriors Rebuilt A Once Good Franchise, Into One Of The Greatest Franchises Of The Modern Era, Off Of Good Personnel Hires, Methodical Player Acquisition Through The Draft, Trades & Free Agency, Along With Persistent Player Development... The New York Knicks Are Now Positioning Themselves To Make Their Own Resurgence.
GM Scott Perry Has Been In His Role The Longest, Of The 3 Newly Appointed Wisemen, Which Has Allowed Him To Begin Building The Foundation For What, Former Super Agent & President Of Basketball Operations Leon Rose Will Have Envisaged For The New, New York Knicks, Who Will Be Under The Mentorship Of Coach Tom Thibodeau, A Known Defensive Specialist Who Likes To Build A Team On Sound Defensive Principles & A Team-First Level Of Work Ethic... How This New, Way More Professional Regime Will Run Alongside The Preexisting Lassie-Faire Attitude That Has Been Rampaging Through The Knicks For Decades Remains To Be Seen. One Thing Is For Certain, This New Staff Seems To Be Rather Cognizant Of The Need For More Veteran Leaders In The Team, As They Fear Running The Risk Of Potentially Missing Key Steps In The Development Of Their Young Core, Due To There Being A Lack Of Leadership On The Court, From Players That Can Help Translate The Overall Message From The Coaches. The Draft Went Rather Well, Considering That The Kicks Didn’t Necessarily Knick It Up As Usual, While Doubling Down On Some Short-Term Deals To Keep Their Powder Dry For Any Superstar Trades That They Could Get In & Amongst, Using Their Now Very Enticing Pool Of Assets, In Picks & Players.

Episode 8 | Life After The Rapture (TOR Raptors)
The Toronto Raptors Are A Ball Club On The Rebuild For The Second Time In 3 Season's, Unlike Most Rebuilding Sides, Toronto Has An NBA Championship & A Superstar Level Player To Show For It All - Losing A Franchise Cornerstone Like DeMar DeRozan In The Kawhi Leonard Trade, Before Watching Leonard Leave For LA After Winning A Ring Certainly Stung The Raptors & They Will Do Well To Bounce Back From That Setback Quickly - Pascal Siakam Is A Potential Superstar & Franchise Cornerstone For The Raptors, A Gift From The Basketball God's After Kawhi Jumped Ship For Pastures Anew, The Toronto Brains Trust Will Have To Begin Working Out Ways To Rebuild Around Spicy P's Peak Window, Which In Essence Begins This Season...
Player Development Is Something Toronto Prides Itself On, And Rightfully So... With Fred Van Vleet, OG Anunoby, And Chris Boucher All Potentially Graduating Into The Starting 5 This Season, After Playing Backup Roles For The Past Two Years, Much Like Siakam Did Before His Breakout Season, Toronto Has An Opportunity To Do Most Of Their Retooling In-House, While Supplementing This New, Younger Roster With A Couple Of Good Pieces That Can Help Them Stay In Contention Out East, Where Anything Can Happen Over The Next 2/3 Season's, Potentially Opening Up A Window For Somebody To Assert Themselves As The King In The East; Of The Many Contenders, Between The Bucks, The 76ers, The Heat, The Nets & Maybe Even The Wizards, Toronto Have The Most Recent NBA Champions On Their Roster & Arguably Have The Best Overall Balance Between Youthful Energy & Experienced Mentality, Making Them A Team To Watch-Out For, Depending On How They Go About Their Business.

Episode 7 | The Suns Of Destiny (PHO Suns)
It’s Becoming More, And More Impossible To Find Phoenix Suns Haters These Days - A Team That Was Once A Perennial Lottery Picking Ball Club, Has Now Been Transformed Into A Potential Perennial Playoff Team, For Years To Come - After Finishing Off The Bubble Bound Regular Season 8-0, And Missing Out On A Potential Playoff Play-In Game, Through A Tiebreaker With The Memphis Grizzlies, Phoenix Seem To Have Finally Turned Over A New Leaf, Through The Acquisition Of Floor Court General Chris Paul... The Sure-Fire HOF Point Guard Has Come Into A Situation That Seems Tailored For His Expertise & Timeline.
These Here Phoenix Suns Will Be A Force To Be Reckoned With; D-Book Is Now Reaching A Pivotal Stage In His Development, Where He Now Knows What’s Being Asked Of Him As The Teams Talisman, De’Andre Ayton Has Already Begun To Produce At The Level That's Demanded Of A Starting Center & Defensive Lynchpin In This League, While Young Guys Like Mikail Bridges & Cam Johnson Have Also Showcased Their Ability To Keep Learning How To Be Better NBA Players, In A Situation That Wasn’t Always Ideal. The Addition Of CP3 & Jae Crowder, Alongside The Contract Renewal Of Dario Saric, Have All Equipped The Suns With The Tools That They Need To Book Themselves A Place In The Playoffs This Season. We’ve Looked At A Trade For Some Much Needed Floor Spacing In The Backcourt, To Spot Minuets With D-Book, And Allow Him To Play Some Point, If CP3 Is Load-Managing. Javelle McGhee Will Be A Buy-Out Candidate For Them To Pick Up, As An Experienced Battle Tested Backup For Ayton Down The Line, On A Veterans Minimum Level Contract.

Episode 6 | The Pot Of Gold (BOS Celtics)
One Of The Biggest Trade Robberies In Modern History, Was When Danny Ainge & The Boston Celtics, Fleeced The Brooklyn Nets Out Of Their Future Draft Picks For The Foreseeable Future, In Exchange For Some Rather Overvalued Future Hall-Of-Fame Entrants, Who Were Well Past Their Peak At The Time Of The Trade... That One Move, Served To Seal Brooklyn’s Basketball Fate In The Doldrums Of Professional Sports, While Also Serving To Help A Legacy Franchise Rebuild After Having One Of Their Most Successful Runs In Recent Memory. Trading In Former Champions, For Picks That You Hope To Turn Into Future Champions, Is A Rather Tricky Business... One That’s Certainly Not For The Faint Hearted.
Today’s Boston Celtics Roster Boasts Two Potential All-NBA Players, In Jayson Tatum & Jaylen Brown, With Just One Current Multi-Time All-Star In Kemba Walker... For All The Picks & Talent Boston Has Had, Added To That, The Endless All-Star Level Personnel Movement That We’ve Seen In The League, One Would Be Remiss Not To Question Of Ainge & Boston Have Actually Maximized Their Draft Pick War Chest... Top-Tier Mans Like Kawhi, AD, PG13, CP3, LeBron & KD Have All Made Moves Since Boston Had These Pick Assets To Play With, Yet None Of Those Guys Were Pursued With Much Determination. Kyrie Came In, And Left With His Tail Between His Legs, As The Gravity Of The Position Seemed To Weigh Heavily On His Still Maturing Shoulders... Kemba Has The Leadership Traits Needed To Take Boston To The Promised Land, Yet Tatum Is Undoubtedly Their 1A Guy, Which Means That Danny Ainge Is Going To Have To Do Some Wheeling & Dealing This Season, To Add More Talent To This Core, If They Are To Stand Any Chance Of Fulfilling Their Undoubted Potential, Which May Even Result In A Kemba Trade...

Episode 5 | Watch Out For The Underdog (MIA Heat)
2020 Will Be Remembered As A Year Filled With Many Surprises, Twists, And Turn Of Events, Yet The Miami Heat Will Inevitably Look Back At This Year, And Begrudge Their Inability To Foresee The True Potential Within Their Squad, And Do The Necessary Business To Add More Pieces To Complete The Puzzle, Before The League Knew That They Were Coming. Having Made It To The NBA Finals, With A Beaten Up Squad, That Wasn't Built For A Finals Run To Begin With, Miami Will Not Be A Sleeper Pick To Come Out The East This Season, Although Many Pundits Have Cast Them Off As Pretenders To The Eastern Conference Throne - Due To Their Perceived Lack Of Talent, In Comparison To Boston, Milwaukee Or Philly - The Miami Heat Have Great (Salary Cap) Room For Improvement, With Some High Earning Guy's Potentially Coming Off The Books, In Positions That They Could Upgrade, And Retool For A More Concerted Run At The NBA Title.
Acquiring Jimmy Butler Was A Masterstroke From Heat GM Pat Riley, But The Legend Will Have To Dig A Little Into His Contact Book This Off-Season, And Look To Pull-Off The Type Of Deals That Will Help Catapult This Heat Team To The Heights That They Showed The Potential To Play At, Under The Leadership Of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo & Tyler Herro, Who Can Already Rival Most Big 3 Tandems, With Their Ability To Score, Playmake & Defend At A High Level. Miami Have The Raw Ingredients Needed To Bake A Title Winning Pie, And Chef Riley Is One Man We Can Trust To Add Just The Right Complimentary Ingredients, To Make This All Come Together Tastefully.

Episode 4 | Rebuilding A Kingdom (DAL Mavericks)
Every Generation, Needs A King; This Adage Rings True In A Sport Like Basketball, Where We've Seen How One Transcendent Talent Can Change The Landscape Of The Entire League, While Often Building A Legacy That Reshapes The Narratives Of Multiple Franchises; Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant & Kawhi Leonard, Have All Led A Team/s To Multiple Championships, While Staking Their Own Claims For The Title Of Greatest Ever... A King Without A Throne (A Ring), Isn't Considered A King, By The Rather Perplexing Standards Set By Today's Basketball Analysts, Fans & Commentators - Luka Doncic Has Been Handed A Kingdom, That Has Had Prior Success, Under It's Previous King, And He Will Have To Go One Better Than Dirk, If He's To Become The Greatest Every Dallas Maverick King - The Pressure Of Leading An Underdog Side Seems To Fit Luka To A Tee, As A Blue Chip Prospect That Was Slept-On By Many Experts Leading Up To The Draft, Luka Has Grown Into The Best Overall Player From His Draft Class, While Quickly Establishing Himself As An All-Star Caliber Player, Who Can Regularly Compete For MVP Honours, And NBA Title's For Year's To Come.
The Onus Is Now On Coach Rick Carlisle, GM Donnie Nelson & Owner Mark Cuban, To Build A Team Around Luka, Which Affords Him With The Optimal Platform To Really Give It A Go, In A Western Conference That Will Remain Competitive For The Next 3-4 Year's, Before Potentially Opening Up For A Team To Dominate Again, After The Warriors, Lakers, Rockets & Clippers Inevitably Have To Fall Back To The Pack, Due To Age Catching Up With Their Current Star Players, Leaving A Window For Dallas To Potentially Win Multiple Wins On The Trot, After Having Being Battle Tested Against Some Of The Best Players In The History Of The League. Trading For Porzingis Was A Great Start, One That Immediately Catapulted Dallas Into A Playoff Conversation... Now The Pressure Is On The Mavs Think-Tank To Cook Up A Few More Moves, That Provide Their 2 Young All-Star's With A Supporting Cast That Compliments The Production That Dallas Is Aiming To Put On The Main Stage, When It Matters Most - Two Equally Yoked Star's May Be Enough To Make You Competitive In This League, But You Still Need Complimentary Guy's In All The Other Positions, Plus A Few More Pieces Coming Off The Bench, To Be Good Enough To Have A Chance Of Winning It All.
The Talk Of Trading For Giannis Has Been Rebutted With Rumours Of A Free-Agency Pitch Next Off-Season, With Views Of A Potential Sign-And-Trade Move Centred Around Porzingis, And Whatever Other Assets Dallas Would Be Able To Get To Give Milwaukee. Oksalayo, Dallas Can't Afford To Stand Still In This Pivotal Time, We Explored Two Scenarios, With Various Trades / Signings, That Would Potentially Make Dallas A Win-Now Team, That Either Fast-Tracks Their Timeline To Catch-Up To Giannis & Lure Him Over Next Season, Or Build Around Their Core Guy's, And Open Up An Even Longer Window For Themselves, With Younger Guy's That Can Still Grow Together.

Episode 3 | Hindsight 2020 (LA Clippers)
Episode 2 | What Would Meek Do? (PHI 76ers)
The Process May Have Been Derailed Of Late, Due To The Realities Of Increased Expectations At The Higher End Of The Spectrum, A Reality That Has Seen The Top Brass In Philly Act Decisively In Changing The Head Coach. Doc Rivers Comes Off The Back Of Choking Up A 3-1 Lead In The Western Conference Semifinals This Past Season, Which Was Actually Better Than The Sixers Did Last Time Out, Where They Contrived To Hand Boston A 4-0 Series Sweep, Without Putting Up Much Of A Fight. Watching Jimmy Butler Carry The Miami Heat Into The NBA Finals, While Taking Some Games Off Of The Eventual Championship Winners Should’ve Rightfully Left A Sour Taste In The Mouths Of Philly’s Key Decision Makers.
There’s No Use Crying Over Spilled Protein Shakes, So We Move... Philly’s New Coach, Doc Rivers, Will Certainly Have Been Tasked With The Responsibility Of Getting Joel Embiid & Ben Simmons On The Same Page, As The Two Takeaways From The Era Of “Trust The Process”, Where The Sixers Went All The Way In On A Rebuilding Mission, That Included Years Of Intentional Losing, In An Attempt To Get As Many Lottery Picks As Possible, And Hit One Some Transcendent Talent To Build Around Moving Forward. Between The 2013 & 2017 NBA Drafts, Guys Like Giannis, Mitchell, Porzingis, LaVine, Jokic, Booker Tatum & Siakam, Were All Drafted After Philly Had Already Made Their Selections, With Said Players Still On The Board; Talent Scouting & Player Development Aren’t Things Philly Have Hung Their Hat On Of Late; Elton Brand & Doc Rivers Will Need To Step Up The Talent Acquisition Drive, While Ensuring That The New Players Bring In What Philly Should’ve Drafted To Put Around Ben & Joel Over The Past Couple Of Years.

Episode 1 | Historical Revisionism (BK Nets)
The 2019/2020 Brooklyn Nets Started The Season With A Rejuvenated Degree Of Expectation, And Rightfully So... Shocking Many In The NBA, And In The City Of New York, Brooklyn Managed To Pull Off The Addition Of Two All-Star's, In Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving.
Even With KD Out For The Season, And Kyrie Coming Off Of A Less Than Stellar Stint In Boston, Many Of Us Expected The Nets To Still Make Some Noise Out East Last Season, And Boy Were We Wrong About The Kind Of Noise They'd Make... In Less Than A Few Months, The Brooklyn Experiment Has Gone From Bad Boy's 2 Level Expectations, To Bad Boy 3 Level Realities... In KD & Kyrie, The Nets Have To Superstar Talent, That Needs To Be Allotted All The Superstar Considerations Possible; A Coach Of Their Choosing / Taste, A System Designed Around Them, Players Who Will Fit Into Their Culture, And The Freedom To Run Things In The Organization On Their Terms; Basically, If KD Wants Everybody On The Team To Have Burner Accounts, While Kyrie Wants Them All To Burn Sage Before Every Game... Then Burners 'n Sage It Is!
In This Episode, We Look At A Few Potential Trade Additions For Brooklyn, Targeting The Addition Of A Big Man / Defensive Anchor, A Younger Potential Star, Or A Established 3rd Superstar Level Talent, Using The Rather Limited Tradable Assets On The Nets Roster. Methinks Brooklyn Nets General Manager Sean Marks May Be Best Served Exploring One, Or Even Two Of These Moves, Going Into The Biggest Season In Nets Franchise History, Since The Went Into The 03/04 Season, Off The Back Of Trading Kyle Korver To Philly... Maybe The Curse Could End With A Philly Trade, For An Al Holford... Or A Daring Prison Break For Andre Drummond, Better Yet, Swing For The Fences & Bring In A Low-Maintenance Guy Like Steven Adams From The Ever Ready To Sell OKC Thunder... There Are Options Out There, And Brooklyn Will Have To Make Their Picks Wisely, As This Is A Once In A Generation Level Of Opportunity To Rewrite The Historical Fortunes Of This Beloved Franchise, With It's Own Unique History In Basketball Folklore.
We Fired Up The Trade Machine To Assess What Sean Marks May Be Able To Pull Off This Off Season, Please Feel Free To Hit Us Up With Your Suggested Trades, And Comments On Our Trade Moves.
Peace Unto You All!

Two 2nd-Round Picks & A Fax Machine | Trailer
The 2003 NBA Draft Class, Is Seen As One Of The Best Intakes The League Has Had In The Last Two Decades - LeBron Was A Sure Fire 1st Pick, Yet You Still Had Fellow Blue Chip Prospects Like Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, And Chris Bosh Selected In The Top 5, With My Beloved Detroit Pistons Having The Second Pick, And Still Missing Out On All Four Future Hall Of Famers - Our Story Goes Further Down The Draft Board, On That Thursday Night Madison Square Garden, A Storyline That Fittingly Takes Place In The City Of Dreams; When You Look Down The List Of Picks Taken That Evening, You Come Across Future NBA Champions, And Even A Decent Future Coach, Before You Get To One Of The Greatest Shooters Ever; Late In The 2nd Round With The 51st Pick, The Then Named New Jersey Nets, Who We Fresh Off A Loss In The NBA Finals, To The Los Angeles Lakers, Drafted Kyle Korver, And Moved To Trade Him To The Philadelphia 76ers For Cash Considerations, In A Move That Seemed To Precede A Long Down Downward Spiral For The Nets Franchise.
