Ep 156Westbrook to the Clippers, Love picks Heat over Sixers + the Mickey Mouse All Star Draft
On this episode we talked about Kevin Love signing with the Miami Heat over the Sixers and Russell Westbrook picking the Clippers over the Bulls, Wizards and Heat. Will these moves matter?

Next we discussed how awful everything was during All Star weekend except for Sixers legend Mac McClung saving the Dunk Contest.

Ep 151Kyrie Traded to the Mavericks + Could Siakam Be The Next Star Traded + NBA Trade Deadline Predictions!
IT IS SLOP WEEK!!! On this episode we talked about the 24 hours after the Kyrie trade. Whether our feelings have changed since the trade went down.

On this episode we discussed the latest trade rumors around Sixers defensive Wing Matisse Thybulle who is drawing interest from the Kings and Warriors. We then talked about if there are any realistic trades with these teams that work for both sides or if the Sixers should just keep Thybulle through the deadline and try to extend him this offseason when he is a restricted free agent. Next we will talk about the Raptors OG Anunoby and the latest rumors involving the Suns, Knicks, Pelicans and Grizzlies interest that could turn into a potential bidding war for the 3&D wing.

Ep 148Realistic Sixers Trade Deadline Targets
Bryan Toporek from Liberty Ballers and Jason Timperley join me to discuss the Sixers trade targets and whether they can realistically acquire anyone who moves the needle, some marginal upgrades or will ownership be cheap and dodge the repeater tax. We ran through all of the issues that the Sixers could face at this trade deadline with a lack of assets, salary matching, a bad market for buyers and how they will have to be creative to improve the team. On the full episode we discussed the Guards Wings and Bigs the Sixers could target at this deadline, what it would cost to get them and their fits on the current version of the team. Also how has Morey handled these situations before and should this be their all in push considering health, age and how the team has been playing? Enjoy.

Ep 147Trade Machine War Crimes Volume II
The Triumphant Return of a YKB fan favorite: Trade Machine War Crimes. We talked about trade submitted via the You Know Ball Patreon discord. Many of these fake trades will have our listeners being sentenced to life by The Hague, but others were realistic so we discussed who says no and who says yes. Let us know your favorite ones in the comments. Of course we also discussed the first real trade of slop season! Rui Hachimura was traded to the Lakers. We talked about this for way too long since we were desperate for trade slop. We talked about whether we liked it, disliked it or thought it was an overpay/underpay for each side.

Ep 147Luka wants Mavs to upgrade before the deadline + The Wizards are dedicated to being mid
Luka wants the Mavericks to upgrade the team before the trade deadline, but with their lack of assets can they make any moves or are they better off waiting until this offseason to make a real splash? Also Marc Cuban gets mad at Tim Mcmahon over his reporting of this information. The Wizards have put Rui Hachimura on the trade block in order to clear a log jam for Kyle Kuzma at the four so they can pay him and their entire a ton of money this summer. We laughed at them for a little over this. During the Patreon part of the episode talked about the report that Harden really wants to play with Eric Gordon in Houston apparently so we will discuss whether we believe this new report. We also talked about the mess that is the Rockets following the John Wall podcast interview where he talked about Harden, Jalen Green and KPJ. Next we talked about Atlanta Hawks rookie AJ Griffin being the potential steal of the 2022 draft before redrafting the top five of that draft based on the rookie's careers so far. Finally we riffed on a bunch of things including who would win this weekend's NFL playoff games (including Giants vs. Eagles obviously), which pizza chain restaurant is the best, all while Sam was dying slowly during the Warriors Celtics game that the Celtics ended up winning anyway.

YKB Favorite Tyrese Maxey was benched in favor of De'Anthony Melton.

After this we will discuss all the slop that has dropped over the last week including rumors about the Raptors core, Mike Conley, D'Angelo Russell, Jakob Poeltl, Malik Beasley, and of course John Collins.

Ep 146Bill Simmons + Zach Lowe's East All Star Picks Podcast + YKB's East All Star Picks
We live reacted to the news that the Lakers would be working out Meyers Leonard before we reviewed and broke down Bill and Zach's podcast about the Eastern Conference all stars. We talked about our beefs with their selections, methodology and why they hate on certain players (cough Harden). Also, should Embiid start over Giannis or Tatum? The statistical argument is heavily in his favor. We then made our 12 all star selections for the Eastern Conference and talked about a few guys who just missed the cut for us. Throughout this we also discussed some minor trade slop from the Pacers and a trade idea involving the Raptors and Lakers. Next week we will be doing the Western Conference after Zach & Bill release their podcast for the West later today. Enjoy.

Ep 145Lebron Fed Up with Lakers? + Durant out for a month + Other NBA Trade Slop

We also discussed the report that teams around the league are preparing for the scenario that Lebron asks out after this season and which teams could trade for him if he actually does want out of LA. Lastly we discussed an idea that Kevin O'Connor pitched where the Lakers could trade both of their picks in two separate trades. Then we talked about Kevin Durant's injury that will likely drop him from the MVP race, all star game and possibly derail the Nets red hot winning streak that turned their season around. Also, which contending team are the Nets better than right now and should they make any moves before the deadline? We also discuss some other minor other slop that has dropped today.

Ep 144Revisiting the Donovan Mitchell Trade + Can Jokic Win Three Straight MVPs + Thybulle & issues with Doc Rivers rotations
Following his insane 71 point performance vs. the Chicago Bulls we revisit the trade that sent Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Did the Jazz make a mistake trading Mitchell when they did and for the package that they did or did the trade work for both sides? Also can Nikola Jokic really win three straight MVPs now that the Nuggets are in first place in the Western Conference? Will Sixers fans kill me for talking about this? Tune in to find out. In the middle of this episode we found out that Isaiah Joe and the SGA-less Thunder were killing Sam's Celtics and he tried not to meltdown. Finally we ended the episode talking about my favorite player, Thybulle who should probably be back in the rotation full time and my least favorite coach Doc Rivers who continues to drive me insane with his all bench lineups.

We also discussed the usuals who were mentioned including Jae Crowder, John Collins, Joe Harris and Eric Gordon, Victor Oladipo and where they could end up. Then Sam answered for his crimes as his baby boy and MVP frontrunner Jayson Tatum has his first real disasterclass of the season vs. Steph Curry and Warriors again. A team Sam has slandered relentlessly!! Lastly we will discussed Joel Embiid who had another 50+ piece vs. the Hornets .. mostly because he had to drag this team to another victory AGAIN. And why this Sixers season feels so empty. SAD.

We proposed trade ideas for the Suns, Bucks, Nuggets, Nets, Hawks, Sixers (lol), Celtics, Heat, Mavericks, Cavs, Pelicans, and Warriors.

Ep 138The Sixers Are Killing Me Slowly + Trae Young Hawks Drama + Best & Worst 2022 NBA Offseason Moves
Matt aka @PanasonicDX4500 joins us to discuss what is happening with the Sixers as they lost their third in a row during James Harden's awful return post injury. Is Doc back on the hot seat? Should the stars be held accountable? Should Morey get more blame for this team lacking cohesion? Is there anyway out of this or is this the beginning of the end for this era of Sixers basketball? Also: will I have a mental breakdown? The answer to all of these questions & more will be answered!! We also talked about AD returning to All NBA form, the Lakers gearing up to make trades. Trae Young trying to get his second coach fired and the drama surrounding that. Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo's ridiculous takes on Trae. And a bunch of other random stuff.

Use the promo code “SLOP” or click the link below to get a $100 dollar deposit match bonus when you sign up for Underdog Fantasy today! https://play.underdogfantasy.com/p-you-know-ball The Celtics can't stop winning and it is killing Trill slowly. They have the number one offense by a wide margin. Old Al Horford just extended for pennies. Jayson Tatum is the betting favorite for MVP on some books. Are they the clear title favorites? Is this sustainable? Will Trill die during this podcast? Will Sam celebrate? Probably. During the Patreon part of this episode we dive into some quarter season stats that show what team's and player's hot starts might be sustainable and others that might not be sustainable. We talked about the Pacers, Blazers, Pelicans, Raptors, Sixers and some specific players on those teams. Enjoy.

Ep 136Should The Bulls Blow It Up? featuring Trey Kerby from No Dunks
Chicago Bulls optimist Trey Kerby from the No Dunks podcast stopped by to talk about his Bulls weird start to the season. We discussed many things including the dreaded treadmill of mediocrity, who he considers part of the Bulls core, whether he would explore tanking, rebuilding or resetting this year. We then talked about if they could turn the season around by changes to their starting line up or rotation. I also pitched a trade rumor that I heard involving the Bulls and the Lakers, Sam played devil's advocate with the Bulls present and future and we tried to figure out if they could steal a game or two off one of the conference favorites if they reach the playoffs. After our convo with Trey, I gave my quick thoughts on the Sixers turning it around recently and then we discussed the first kind of real slop that dropped this season: former all star Kemba Walker signing with the Dallas Mavericks. Does it even matter? Will it help turn their season around? Is the Mavs organization fraudulent and Luka Doncic Merchants? We finished the episode with a MVP based psychosis conversation because Sam is currently experiencing the same thing that Sixers fans experienced the past two years with advanced metrics going against his sweet baby boy Jayson Tatum.

The Paul Reed Sixers upset the Nets during low energy Ben Simmons during his return to Philadelphia. Very sad for Ben and his supporters. We discussed De'Antony Melton, Tobias Harris and Paul Reed's magical night + I decided it is actually good that PJ Tucker can't score because I think it is funny now. We also touched on the Nets as a whole and why we do not think they are actual contenders. Then during the Patreon part of this episode we dove into some speculative slop about KD and a surprise team, The Knicks taking calls on Immanuel Quickley and the Pistons taking calls on Saddiq Bey. Finally we drafted the 20 worst contracts in the NBA currently.

Mike Chiodo joined us to talk all things Sixers sadness. We talked about Embiid and Maxey's injuries, Ben Simmons returning to town to play the Skeleton Sixers, Giannis being an enemy of the working class, PJ tucker not being able to score at all and whether this is going to hurt the Sixers in the playoffs, some Tobias Harris "trade rumors" that are definitely real.

Ep 133The Timberwolves Might Be Screwed Because of the Rudy Gobert Trade
The Wolves might have screwed themselves by making an all in move for Rudy Gobert. We discuss how the Wolves could turn it around, if an in season trade is even possible, the unfair comparisons to the 19-20 Sixers, the lack of flexibility moving forward that they have and how it could all lead to the eventual departure of Karl Anthony Towns, or even worse, Anthony Edwards. Also, will it go down as one of the worst trades of all time? Enjoy.

Ep 132Joel Embiid Masterclass Performance Drags the Sixers Back to .500 + Are The Warriors Cooked?
The now .500 Sixers were brought back to life by Joel Embiid's absolutely amazing two way performance on Sunday night vs. the Utah Jazz. Embiid returned to MVP form with a near 60 point quadruple double where he picked apart the Jazz scoring at will and setting up his teammates in a way we have never seen before. He also returned to his elite form on the defensive end as a rim protector and pick and roll defender vs. one of the best early season offenses in the NBA. Part of me was extremely excited to see Embiid dominate and another part of me was concerned that we still need these kind of performances in order to win games! But the Sixers are back on track with Harden returning in 2-3 weeks and should be fighting for a top four seed in the East moving forward. After the Embiid and Sixers discussion we discussed the Golden State Warriors who are currently struggling to start the season. We talked about this being the potential end of their dynasty and whether a trade could save them before going over a handful of fake trades involving disappointing prospects James Wiseman and Jonathan Kuminga.

Ep 131SLOP BACK: Anthony Davis Trade Rumors + Fake Trade Ideas + Lakers Targeting Mystery Star With Russ & Picks Package
SLOP SEASON IS ALMOST HERE!! Lakers & Klutch Propagandist Harrison Faigen (@hmfaigen) from SBNation returned to talk with Sam and Trill about all things Lakers including the recent trade rumors around Anthony Davis started by the Podfather himself Bill Simmons. Before we got into that we discussed the new rumors that the Lakers may not trade their two first round picks with Russell Westbrook for the rumored Myles Turner + Buddy Hield deal or Kyrie Irving because they may be targeting a new mystery star with that trade package. We tried to figure out exactly who that star is. We then discussed whether it is realistic for the Lakers to consider trading Anthony Davis this season, what teams would be interested in AD and we all pitched some fake AD trades that ranged from pretty realistic to legitimately psychotic. We went through more than 15 trades and discussed which ones made the most sense for the Lakers and other teams around the NBA. We were gone off the slop on this one so there were many sidebars and insane rants so please hang with us. Everything else we were supposed to talk about on this episode was bumped to the next episode since we went almost two hours on the Lakers and fake AD trades. Enjoy!

Also please follow us on Playback where we will be doing watch alongs of Sixers and NBA games all season! Sign up & follow us here: https://www.playback.tv/youknowball During this segment we talked about James Harden's injury that will keep him out at least two weeks (he will be "re-evaluated" lol) if not a whole month. We talked about what this means for the Sixers, Doc Rivers job security, and most importantly Tyrese Maxey and Joel Embiid's roles with the team. Will De'Anthony Melton starting give the Sixers some defensive energy and a chance to win some games without Harden? Who plays more now? Shake? Thybulle? Perhaps some Korkmaz? We also discussed whether the Sixers should sign former All Star Kemba Walker with their lost roster spot to fill the shot creation void. Enjoy! During the Patreon portion of this podcast Sam, Trill and Parm drafted a team of ten players each (30 picks overall) of the most overrated players currently in the NBA. We are drafting the overrated player based on general public perception. We aren’t taking just one group's opinion into account (calculator boys, real hoopers, the Zach Lowe types) but the general idea of how good a player is at this time. What they are as a player RIGHT NOW. Not their all time ranking. It was a snake draft. 30 player draft. Every person gets 10 players. Some controversial picks in there. Also Kyrie Irving news dropped in the middle of this so we reacted to that as well.

Ep 130Nets Fire Nash & Hire Udoka + Embiid Ewing Theory (Parody) + Sixers Lose Picks + Heat Fraud Watch?

In addition to our new partnership with Underdog Fantasy, we are also excited to announce that YKB regular Sam Sheehan (@NBABabySecret) will be joining You Know Ball as the full time co-host. No, this is not a bit. We are being serious. He is the new YKB co-host. In his first episode as co-host Sam and I talked about the shit show that is the Brooklyn Nets. Yesterday it was announced that head coach Steve Nash would be fired after the team started the season 2-5. Then less than two hours later it was announced that suspended Celtics coach Ime Udoka would be the new head coach of the Brooklyn Nets. Oh, and by the way Kyrie posted some anti Semitic movie on Twitter and did not apologize for it. And Ben Simmons has missed back to back games after an awful start. Probably nothing. Can the Nets season be salvaged? Meanwhile the Sixers have won three in a row to get back to .500 on the season! Tyrese Maxey scored a career high vs. the Toronto Raptors (again lol), Joel Embiid hit a game winner and remains undefeated vs. the Chicago Bulls and James Harden destroyed the Washington Wizards. The team is 2-0 without Joel Embiid which I did not think was possible? Are we smelling some Ewing Theory potential here House?? Also the NBA did some dumb tampering charges against the Sixers where they lost second round picks in 2023 & 2024 so we talked about that as well. Montrezl Harrell has been surprisingly good? De'Anthony Melton is a god level role player. The Sixers are a good team and should have a better record. It's still fire Doc Rivers til I die. Then we talk about the team we love to hate the most, the Miami Heat! We talked about the Heat potentially missing their window to contend after their (now) 3-5 start that the NBA media seems to be conveniently ignoring? But Jimmy Butler still thinks they are going to be NBA champions still? After making fun of them for a little we discussed how the Heat can salvage the Butler era and actually get back into the championship conversation. Enjoy!

Ep 129Ben Simmons Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Start with the Brooklyn Nets featuring @ReedWallach
Resident Brooklyn Nets fan Reed Wallach from BetSided's "The Early Reed" returns to the podcast to discuss Ben Simmons slow start with the Brooklyn Nets where he is not looking to score, fouling out of games and possibly screwing up lineups for a team that has championship aspirations. Can the KD and Kyrie Nets be salvaged or will this end in disaster? We also discussed the Deja Vu that I am having as a Sixers fan listening to Nets fans talk about Ben and a fake trade that Reed said he would take in a heartbeat. Plus what would Ben Simmons value be if he were a free agent today?

Ep 129Sixers Disastrous 0-3 Start + Doc Rivers Hot Seat Watch featuring @DerekBodnerNBA
Derek Bodner of Sixers Beat and the Daily Six newsletter returned to the podcast to discuss the Sixers disastrous 0-3 start. Originally I asked Bodner to come on the podcast to talk me off the ledge when the Sixers lost their opening games to the Celtics and Bucks (good teams!) but we both assumed they would beat the tanking Spurs (bad team!) so at least we would have something positive to talk about. Of course that did not happen! We talked about many things that are ailing the team right now including Joel Embiid's slow start and foot injury, the new pieces not fitting together on either end, and rotational changes that can be made (Free B-Ball Paul 2.0?) but we mainly discussed Doc Rivers job status and whether he is actually on the hot seat right now. We wrapped up the episode talking about potential Doc Rivers replacement's if he is fired, what it would take for the Sixers to move on from Doc and whether we think it would be an internal or external hire and of course we touched on Bill Simmons comments on Joel Embiid wanting to play for the Knicks because of his former agents running the team.

Ep 128The Lakers Stink featuring @Nihilist_Bucks
For this entire episode which includes our takes on the Sixers vs. Celtics opening night (where Joel Embiid laid an egg) please subscribe to the You Know Ball Patreon here: https://www.patreon.com/YouKnowBall Yes I am coping over the Sixers opening night loss to the Celtics so this is like my therapy. During this preview clip we discussed the Lakers opening night vs. the Golden State Warriors. The team looked as bad as advertised. With key injuries to new old Lakers Thomas Bryant and Dennis Schroder, their depth was tested and they were playing players like Matt Ryan and Wenyen Gabriel who have barely ever played in the league before. They also could not hit a shot which led to some snarky post game comments from Lebron James and Russell Westbrook already complaining about coming off the bench in the preseason. Can a Russ trade even save this team or are they past the point of no return? And yes I am coping over the Sixers opening night loss to the Celtics so this is like my therapy.

Ep 1282019 NBA Draft Class Extensions (Thybulle not extended!) + Bold Season Predictions featuring @SaiIorTurnee
Turn from Celtics Twitter returned to talk about rookie extensions from the 2019 NBA Draft class. We talked about Matisse Thybulle not getting extended by the Sixers (WOOHOO!!) and what this means for him moving forward, Grant Williams not getting extended by the Celtics despite his breakout season last year and some other players who actually did get extended including Jordan Poole, Tyler Herro, Brandon Clarke, Kevin Porter, Jr. and Deandre Hunter who got extended mid podcast (lol). We then talked about a few notable players who did not get extended including the Suns Cam Johnson and the Hornets PJ Washington. After the rookie extension talk we gave a few bold predictions for this upcoming NBA season and gave predictions for who would win on opening night of the 22-23 season including our pick for the Sixers vs. Celtics.

Ep 127Can Joel Embiid finally win MVP? Our MVP Predictions for the 22-23 NBA Season!
Sam, Parm and Trill debate who will win NBA MVP for the 2022-2023 season. We discussed the narratives around the award in recent years, the betting favorites (Luka, Giannis, Embiid) to win this year, the unlikeliness of Jokic winning a third straight MVP due to historical precedent and we also gave some dark horse picks with long betting odds that could be worth taking a flier on. Finally we all made our cases for who we think will win the award this year. Enjoy! This is the Patreon preview for this episode.

Ep 127Bill Simmons & Ryen Russillo's Over Unders NBA podcast
To celebrate reaching 200 YKB Patreon Subscribers (Woohoo!) and 100 subscribers on my second YouTube channel we have unlocked this YKB Patreon episode from September 22nd 2022 where Sam Sheehan and I predicted Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo's Over/Under takes on the upcoming NBA season. Bill and Russillo just released this episode so we figured it was a good time to let it free to the world. Sorry to Joe House who we forgot was also involved in this annual podcast lol. Oh we also gave our over/under predictions for all 30 NBA teams in this episode as well. Enjoy.

To watch the entire Sixers as Championship Contenders + Eastern Conference Standings Prediction episode please subscribe to the You Know Ball Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/YouKnowBall Rob Flom (@RichHomieFlom) returned for our annual NBA preseason predictions! In part one we talked about the lying NBA media (sad!) setting their expectations way too high for the Sixers and I am beginning to get flashbacks to other failed Sixers seasons?? But this team is way deeper and better .. right?? Also the Sixers new starting line up made their debut and Tyrese Maxey proved why he is god. James Harden looked ... kinda the same? So we talked about that and whether the hype is actually worth buying with this Sixers team. Enjoy! In the full Patreon episode we had a little sidebar about 2023 NBA Draft Prospect Victor Wembanyama vs. current NBA prospects and players and then we try to predict the Eastern Conference Standings for this upcoming NBA season before picking our conference finals matchup + which team will come out of the east this season.

Ep 125NBA Preseason Overreactions + Predicting Zach Lowe's League Pass Rankings featuring Sam Sheehan
To watch livestreams of us recording YKB episodes and to get episodes early episodes and bonus episodes on your podcast feed please sign up for the YKB Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/YouKnowBall But first, the slop take hotline! We got our first voicemail from a YKB Patreon Head Hog about the Boston Celtics so we riffed on that and gave our thoughts. Then Sam Sheehan and Trill overreact to the first few days of the NBA preseason (record Tuesday night during Zion's return) including Tyrese Maxey's insane first half, Ben Simmons return to basketball vs. the Sixers, Cade Cunningham's slow start vs. the Knicks and then we make fun of some Warriors fans for doing the same exact thing that we do when they get overly excited about their young players. I also made a prediction about which Sixer that I feel like could be on the move very soon. And it is not who you think it is. Finally we predicted the GOAT Zach Lowe's league pass rankings for the 2022 - 2023 NBA season while also sharing our own league pass rankings for this upcoming season. We give our locks for the list, some teams that might pique Zach's interest and the teams that will obviously not be included (like one he calls Voldemort) on his list. In the middle of this episode the two GOATs Bill Simmons and Zach Lowe dropped an episode and we tried to guess some of their talking points during the podcast.

We then discussed everything that could go right for the Sixers (lol like this ever happens) and what their ceiling is this season if things break in their favor. Topics ranged from James Harden bouncing back to new vets being happy with his new role to certain young players making leaps for trade purposes.

SIGN UP FOR THE YKB PATREON! -> https://www.patreon.com/YouKnowBall I have launched the YKB Patreon! Supporters will get access to a ton of cool stuff including the new premium YKB feed aka The Slop Trough which features bonus content, stream audio, live show audio, unedited episodes and early access to all YKB episodes.

As I said at the start of this episode the goal is to make this my full time focus so I can create content around the clock. Please check out the page and support if you are able to. I really would appreciate it. Thank you! The rest of this episode is the audio from our YouTube live stream NBA Mock Expansion Draft. Shoutout to the tharealkevbot who paid for the majority of the bottle of James Harden's wine that I drank throughout this live stream. It was very good wine and I got very drunk so things went off the rails towards the end. We conducted a two team (Seattle and Las Vegas) NBA expansion Mock Draft. All 30 current NBA teams were able to protect six players each, leaving at least nine players from each team available to draft in the mock draft. Every current team can lose a maximum of two players, one to each expansion team. Current NBA teams can also incentivize the drafting expansion teams to take a bad contract off their hands. For example: the Knicks could offer a first round pick to one of the teams to draft Julius Randle and take his contract. Enjoy!

Ep 118Donovan Mitchell to the Cavs?! Emergency Episode featuring Sam Sheehan & Nihilist Bucks
I was joined for an emergency stream by Sam Sheehan (@NBABabySecret) and Nihilist Bucks to discuss the Cleveland Cavaliers stealing Donovan Mitchell from the New York Knicks in a shocker slop drop. The Jazz traded the 26 year old all star for a load of picks and swaps plus Lauri Markkanen, Ochai Agbaji and a sign and trade for Collin Sexton. We discussed where this puts the Cavs in the hierarchy of the loaded Eastern Conference, where the Knicks go from here and what the Jazz will do with Bojan Bogdanovic, Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley now that they have fully committed to their rebuild. Also could the Lakers get those players after acquiring Patrick Beverly from the Jazz last week? Should the Sixers have any interest in Clarkson or Bojan? And is it possible for them to get them? Also we riffed on the possibility of an NBA expansion draft with two teams now that the league is so loaded. We picked which players we would protect from the Celtics, Bucks and Sixers. Enjoy! Enjoy!

Ep 117Kevin Durant Grizzlies Rumors + Lebron Re-Signs with the Lakers + Westbrook fake trade rankings featuring Harrison Faigen
Harrison Faigen from SBNation joins the podcast to discuss the new Kevin Durant "rumors" from The Athletic's Shams Charania including new "interest" from the Memphis Grizzlies. We discussed why teams continue to low ball the Nets, what it will take to get a deal actually done and what we would be looking for in a return for one of the 15 greatest basketball players of all time. Plus: do you believe Kyrie Irving is actually going to return to the Nets? We then discussed Lebron James re-signing with the Lakers and whether the team and the end of Lebron's window can actually be salvaged with a Russell Westbrook trade. We finished the podcast by ranking our favorite Russell Westbrook trades including fake trades to the Brooklyn Nets, Indiana Pacers, Utah Jazz, New York Knicks and San Antonio Spurs and what we would give up to move off the Westbrook deal.

Ep 116The Reslopables: The 2014 NBA Draft! Who goes number one: Jokic or Embiid? Featuring @chuckingdarts
Chuck from ChuckingDarts returned to SLOP IT UP! We discussed one of the deepest and most memorable drafts of all time: the 2014 NBA Draft. The hype leading up to this draft was insane from Andrew Wiggins being the Maple Jordan to Joel Embiid being the next Hakeem and clear number one pick until he broke his foot. We discussed all of the narratives and reactions to this draft and talked about some of the biggest what if's that came from it. Mainly what if the Bucks selected Joel Embiid at number two and made one of the greatest duos in NBA history? Other discussions included why did Embiid not go number one? How did Jokic fall so far? And of course we redrafted the lottery of this draft and discussed who went number one overall between two future hall of fame centers: Joel Embiid and Nikola Jokic. Enjoy!
