Episode #209: "Preseason OVERREACTIONS!?" Mavs have 3rd STAR? Detroit looks promising; Blazers talk!

Today's episode of The Zay Coleman Podcast we discuss the first week + change of the NBA Preseason as we discuss the main talking points centering around the Pre-cursor to one of the most hectic and exciting seasons in recent memories! First, we answer the question of "Do the Mavericks have a 3RD STAR waiting in the wings? The Detroit have 2 impressive comebacks against 2 powerhouses out west in Phoenix and Oklahoma City. We also discuss the Portland Trail Blazers since this is the first episode since The Damian Lillard/Jrue Holiday trades went down and if they are in a better direction than the previous season.

Episode #208: "Golden States Finale?" Warriors Trade for CP3; Wizards Reset; Preseason Talk + more!

Today we welcome you to the final episode of the FA review series where we discuss the Minnesota Timberwolves, who were oddly quiet after a Q
1ST round exit and a less-than-impressive draft night with a FA class headlined BY...Troy Brown Jr. Anyways our Monthly 'Tired of Portland' segment. Than we take a trip down south to San Fran as the Golden State Warriors have a borderline negligent off-season by trading for a backup PG and then signing...a backup PG. This is a team with DARIO SARIC being the only player above 6'9 by the way....anyways let's be hype for Dwight Howard Coming for training camp! And finally In a weird turn of events the most competent team of the episode the WASHINGTON WZARDS...you heard that right. They Moved on from Longtime star Guard Bradley Beal and Forward/Center Kristaps Porzingis for Pennies on the Dollar (Sorry Jordan Poole and Tyus Jones in advance) but atleast its apart of a MUCH bigger picture.

Episode #207: "What are the Toronto Raptors?" FVV jumps ship; Pistons upgrade; Suns all in? + more!

Welcome to The Zay Coleman Podcast where today we will be discussing the Detroit Pistons, who spent 3 2nd round picks on 2 veteran upgrades from Departed free agents Cory Joseph and Hamidou Diallo, the Houston Rockets who Maxed out Veteran Guards Fred Van Vleet and Dillon Brooks while also revamping the bench with Jock Landale and Jeff Green headlining the cast of characters Introduing (or reintroducing) themselves to H-town. Next we talk about the San Antonio Spurs who are experiencing the most hype since the Tim Duncan days as Generational 1st overall pick Victor Wembanyama will make his much anticipated debut in less than one month alongside a bunch of promising wings including Devin Vassell and Keldon Johnson. And finally we wrap things up with the team many consider the "winners" of the off-season in the Phoenix Suns who did the unthinkable by trading for Bradley Beal, but the intriguing part is what happened after when they were able to upgrade last year's historically bad bench play with Sharpshooters Yuta Watanabe and Eric Gordon while also taking Flyers on Promising young players Bol Bol and Chimeze Metu as they make a strong push for the NBA Title.

Today's episode of The Zay Coleman Podcast we will discuss the offseasons of the Utah Jazz, Sacramento Kings, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, and Orlando Magic.

Aug 18, 202334:50

Episode #204: "NBA Offseason Review 2: Electric Boogaloo"

Today's episode we discuss the offseasons of the LA Clippers who had a semi-quiet offreason retaining most of their veterans, including Guard Russell Westbrook and Center Mason Plumlee, while also adding young Talent in 1st round pick Forward Kobe Brown and former 2nd round pick Forward Kenyon Martin Jr. Next we dive into the Memphis Grizzlies, who went scrambling for guard play after the news of Superstar Guard Ja Morant being handed a 25 game Suspension early in the offseason, so in retaliation they went and grabbed Veteran Derrick Rose and Acquired Celtics-lifer Marcus Smart in a 3 team trade revisited in the first iteration of this series. Next we breakdown the questionable, albeit telling offseason of the Atlanta Hawks who's TWO (2) offseason acquisitions were Veterans Patty Mills and Wesley Matthews, who just so happen to play the same position as a certain Trae Young and Dejounte Murray. Let's hope AJ Griffin can man that 3 position for 35-40 mins a night! Following that is the understandably lackluster off season of the Miami Heat, who are trying their very best to get Damian Lillard out of Portland, we'll see what happens if/when the trade conversations end. And Finally we talk about the rebuilding Charlotte Hornets who were able to bring back Miles Bridges (on a 1yr Qualifying Offer) and former 2017 lottery pick Frank Ntilikina to bolster their Guard rotation with Defense and steady playmaking. They also had an eventful draft with Forward Brandon Miller being selected 2nd overall and snagging Nick Smith Jr. And Amari Bailey later in the draft as potential steals to watch out for.

Episode #203: "Offseason Review 1" Includes me in Detroit, Celtics moves, Chicago's direction +more!

Today's episode of The Zay Coleman Podcast we discuss my recent trip to Detroit Michigan where I got to get in touch with "Hoops Culture" including famed St. Cecilia Gym, Various High Schools where stars like Jalen Rose, Chris Webber, Howard Eisley and MORE got their start. But that's not the ONLY reason we got this episode together! We also have the annual offseason review that gets more controversial than the last. First we discuss the Milwaukee Bucks and them re-signing Khris Middleton and Brook Lopez, who was heavily pursued by the Houston Rockets of all teams, while adding Sharpshooters like Lakers G Malik Beasley and AJ Green from their G-League system. We discuss the future of the organization now that they've replaced Long time coach Mike Budenholzer with first-time Head Coach Adrian Griffin from the Toronto Raptors and the ever-so patient Giannis Antetokounmpo and how all of the combining pieces work together for the ultimate goal. Next team we analyze is the Chicago Bulls, where they're moves leaves the host puzzled with what EXACTLY is the goal of this franchise and why are the only two new pieces you have under contract Jevon Carter and Torrey Craig? Those questions get answered (surprisingly) in this episode. Next stop: Cleveland as the Cavaliers are the next team we get to talk about as they spent alot of Money (Over 130 million to be precise) to insure that the Small Forward Position has some shooting in the near future as they Sign Miami Heat F Max Strus and Sixers F Georges Niang while also bring back G/F Caris LeVert on a hefty price tag. We sorta take our stand on if Isaac Okoro is anything to write home about this year. And finally we reach the Eastern Conference Favorites as the Boston Celtics are our final team this episode as we dive into the blockbuster move that sent Former Wizards F/C Kristaps Porzingis to the Celtics in 3 team deal that sent Longtime Celtics G Marcus Smart to the Grizzlies and salary filler (Danilo Gallinari, Mike Muscala) to the Wizards. Boston also received 2 first round picks (later flipped on draft night but still landed Draft Favorite Jordan Walsh so not to bad in hindsight. They also made underrated Moves in free agency as they were able to sign to of MY favorites in Raptors Wing Dalano Banton and Former Pacers F Oshae Brissett. Versatility and Spacing: Boston Celtics basketball. They also gave Jaylen Brown the longest cumulative extention in NBA history at $302 Million over 5 years. We'll see how these moves work out in the long run and if it leads them to titles in the near future.

EPISODE #202: NBA Draft Review; Winners and losers; Free Agency talk, Fit vs. Talent: who wins?

Today's episode of The Zay Coleman Podcast we return with the first episode of the show since the NBA Draft as Generational Talent Victor Wembanyama went to the San Antonio Spurs [as expected] but in an interesting turn of events, the Charlotte Hornets Drafted Alabam F Brandon Miller over projected No.2 pick Scoot Henderson as it sparks the conversation of "Does a team Draft to fit the organizations needs or do they simply just draft the best player available and worry about it later?" We dive deeper into the Cameron Whitmore story on why he fell to the Houston Rockets at 20 and if the injury concerns are as bad as they seem. We also look at the Quiet Logjam of the Utah Jazz as they Draft Taylor Hendricks and then IMMEDIATELY trade for John Collins. All of that and MORE ONLY on The Zay Coleman Podcast.

EPISODE #201: "I'm Back" || Bradley Beal trade to the Suns REACTION! Warriors dynasty ENDING????

"The Real is back, The Ville is back, flow bananas (huh) peel it back..." The Zay Coleman Podcast RETURNS as we discuss the hiatus taken by the man himself that took 4 months of conversation away from you the viewers. We breakdown the Recent news of Washington Wizards Guard Bradley Beal being traded to the Phoenix Suns for G Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, And 2nd round pick swaps. We dive into the long history of the Wizards missing the boat when it comes to their stars and Why Management changes won't help the cause. Next we discuss the "curious" case of the New Orleans Pelicans desperately wanting a chance at Scoot Henderson and which of their stars is REALLY more valuable? We go into great detail about the big 4 rebuilding teams (Detroit, Orlando, Houston, Charlotte) and see where the next big "Kings jump" is gonna come from. The never ending saga of the Portland Trail Blazers relationship with Superstar PG Damian Lillard has hit a crossroads where Dame is likely gone if they look to the future and they are Play-in bound if they trade it for a B-tier star (Pascal Siakam, Kristaps Porzingis, etc.). You can listen to all of this AND MORE only on The Zay Coleman Podcast.
