Podcast appearances and mentions of Bam Adebayo

"They would suck." When asked about Giannis, Dave Dameshek's responds with a story about his college girlfriend giving haircuts, the Nazi scourge, and a Broncos game against the Steelers. And when asked about a Heat team built around Kawhi Leonard joining Giannis Antetokounmpo and Bam Adebayo, Zaslow has some strong takes. But what would he think about another former member of the Miami Heat who wears No. 23 and used to wear No. 6? (LeBron James. It's LeBron James.)

Who are the 20 best players in the NBA heading into next season? We're doing the impossible: a way-too-early ranking of the league's elite and debating which stars belong in each tier. We start with the true franchise carriers—Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Nikola Jokic, Victor Wembanyama, and Giannis Antetokounmpo—the superstars capable of dragging a team into contention. Then we break down the No. 1 options who can lead championship runs with the right supporting cast, including Luka Dončić, Jalen Brunson, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, and Jayson Tatum. We also discuss the players we still need to see more from, including Cade Cunningham, Donovan Mitchell, and Karl-Anthony Towns, plus rank a loaded wing group featuring Kawhi Leonard, Jalen Williams, and Jaylen Brown. Can Tyrese Maxey and Scottie Barnes save the East Play-In tier? And where do NBA legends Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and LeBron James belong as they continue to defy Father Time? Plus, we reveal the stars who just missed the cut, including Bam Adebayo, Devin Booker, Jamal Murray, and Pascal Siakam.   RealGM Radio is your top spot for the best weekly NBA coverage.

Ken and Jason Lloyd continue wrestling with the Evan Mobley for Jalen Brown scenario, with Ken gradually talking himself into accepting that this may be the only realistic upgrade available, even as he worries it just creates a lineup of three guards and Jarrett Allen. Jason makes the most compelling argument of the segment: if Ken doesn't believe Mobley can lead this team to a championship, and there's no other realistic trade partner, then saying no to Brown is essentially saying no to every Mobley trade forever. The Donovan Mitchell contract situation hangs over everything, with Jason noting the window is likely two years regardless, and Ken revealing he's been hearing whispers about Miami and Donovan's affection for Bam Adebayo as a potential landing spot if Mitchell doesn't re-sign. Ken closes with the James Harden analogy that keeps nagging at him: that move sped the clock up like cutting the wrong wire on a bomb, and whatever comes next has to be the right call.

Ira Winderman joins the show for Heat talk following Miami's aggressive win-now approach after trading for Giannis. He breaks down the selection of Ryan Conwell, a four-year college player brought in with the expectation of contributing immediately, and discusses how Bobby Portis fits the Heat culture and rotation. Ira and the guys evaluate whether the current roster has enough around Giannis and Bam Adebayo, while also revisiting how Pat Riley has historically built contenders around superstar cores. The conversation also touches on potential roster moves, including the possibility of trading Nikola Jovic, the likelihood of losing Norman Powell, and Miami possibly targeting Khris Middleton, along with where the Heat now rank in the Eastern Conference. The segment closes with broader star speculation, including Ja Morant's fit and the idea of a LeBron James return to Miami.

Hour 4 features Ira Winderman joining the show to break down the Heat's aggressive win-now approach after trading for Giannis, including the selection of Ryan Conwell, the fit of Bobby Portis, and whether Miami has enough around Giannis and Bam Adebayo. Ira also discusses potential roster moves such as trading Nikola Jovic, possibly losing Norman Powell, and the likelihood of adding Khris Middleton, while evaluating Miami's place in the Eastern Conference and the possibility of pursuing stars like Ja Morant or even LeBron James. The hour also touches on the reported LaMelo Ball trade to Minnesota, what the Heat can do to fill out the roster, plus Marlins talk, a revisit of the 9-9-9 challenge, World Cup discussion, Dan Day's trivia skills compared to Alex Trebek, and excitement around Grand Theft Auto 6 being set in Miami.

Bruce liked Sacramento choosing Alex Karaban, who reminds him of former Kings sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic. 32:38 ... World B liked the draft choices that Charlotte made with Christian Anderson from Texas Tech and Zuby Ejiafor from St John's.  He also liked Kingston Flemings going to Atlanta as their point guard of the future.  Ross really liked how Memphis snagged Karim Lopez at #21 along with Cam Boozer at #3 and also stockpiled some additional picks with some trades. 36:06 .... Biggest losers?  Bruce cited the seven teams that did not have draft picks in the first round.  World B felt the Nets messed up their first round pick by passing on Darius Acuff and choosing Mikel Brown. 38:21 ...

The guys are back with a packed show covering everything from the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade sweepstakes heating up again, with Miami still firmly in the mix and Tyler Herro's social media activity adding more fuel to the fire, to ongoing debate about whether the Heat can realistically land a superstar without including Bam Adebayo in a deal. The NBA talk continues with the Knicks' championship fallout, Jalen Brunson's clutch playoff run, and whether Boston is seriously considering breaking up the Jaylen Brown–Jayson Tatum duo as Brown continues to hint at a larger role. The Marlins remain one of the hottest stories in town after winning 10 of their last 12 and climbing back to .500 despite one of baseball's lowest payrolls, while Dolphins offseason discussion, quarterback debates, and Malik Willis' role continue to stir conversation.

Ira explains why Miami still makes sense as a landing spot and how the Heat would need to seriously reshape the roster around Giannis and Bam Adebayo after consecutive underwhelming seasons, while also weighing in on what the team should do with the No. 13 pick and why trading it for future assets might be the smartest move. The hour wraps with broader sports chatter, including Texas Tech's ongoing controversy, Florida's massive stadium renovation project and the future of the Gators, and some NBA speculation around team chemistry issues in Boston.

Miami Heat writer Ira Winderman joins the show to break down a wide range of NBA storylines, starting with the Knicks' historic Game 4 comeback over the Spurs and what it says about how the modern three-point era has made no lead truly safe. The conversation shifts to the latest Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors, with Ira discussing Boston's potential involvement and whether they'd be willing to part with Jaylen Brown to land the Bucks superstar. He also weighs in on possible Western Conference destinations, noting that Giannis could end up in more of a Kawhi Leonard–Raptors situation where a team might only get a short-term rental rather than a long-term commitment. Ira believes the Heat remain a realistic landing spot and explains how Miami could build a strong supporting cast around Giannis and Bam Adebayo, while also stressing that the franchise needs to shake things up after back-to-back underwhelming seasons. The discussion continues with Miami's No. 13 pick, with Ira suggesting the Heat should strongly consider trading it for future assets, and he shares his preference for keeping young pieces like Kasparas Jakucionis and monitoring Nikola Jovic's continued development.

The Miami Heat enter another huge offseason… but what's next for this team?

The first segment gets off to a silly start when it sounds like Leroy is playing a guitar during his weather update. The gang reports the sad news that Manny Fernandez, one of the players on the legendary Dolphins 1972 team has passed. Bam Adebayo is in hot water with Panthers fans after he was photographed wearing a custom Golden Knights jersey alongside A'ja Wilson. Leroy hands out his Game Balls and Game Bums; which then turns into the guys declaring James Harden a BUM!

The crew reacts to the Knicks' surprising playoff run and debates whether they can hang with the West's best, while also celebrating the end of the James Harden vs. Dwyane Wade comparisons. Tony Fiorentino joins the show to discuss Jr. Heat Camp and the development of Miami's young talent. The gang also dives into Bam Adebayo catching heat from Panthers fans, Leroy's Game Balls and Game Bums, Brian Flores' lawsuit updates, celebrity fight weekend, and another chaotic edition of “The Damage is Done.” Plus, Brittney defends Lewis Hamilton from F1 critics, and Tobin sparks debate over the possibility of LeBron James returning to Miami to finish his career.

0:00 ... Ross Geiger says hello and introduces co-hosts Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer.  Show #250 is dedicated to Trey Jemison of the Knicks, who wears #50 for the newly crowned NBA Eastern Conference Champs. 1:07 ... Knicks fan World B shares his thoughts on his team making the Finals after a 26 season drought. 2:10 ... World B had predicted the Knicks to make the Finals in his preseason picks and his aim was true! 3:39 ... Ross tees up a discussion on how the Knicks have grown so much as a team. 4:24 ... Bruce is happiest for Knicks head coach Mike Brown who has led the team to record breaking performances in the playoffs.  And they didn't really want to hire him to replace Tom Thibodeau prior to the season but all the other coaches they wanted to interview were not given permission from their teams to speak to New York about the job.   So Brown was hired by default and it was a move that has succeeded wildly. 6:16 ... World B gives Brown credit for retooling the Knicks' offensive system and he reels off the numbers that prove it. 8:47 ... Ross wonders whether the Knicks upcoming layoff (as they wait for their Finals opponent) will kill their great momentum?  Both Bruce and World B feel like the Knicks are sitting pretty.  Ross is concerned how they'll handle any offensive dry spells against the Spurs and Thunder. 13:49 ... If the Spurs beat OKC and play New York in the Finals, Bruce feels like the Knicks will use Karl Anthony-Towns to draw Victor Wembanyama away from the hoop on defense which could allow New York to operate successfully closer to the hoop. 14:48 ... Bruce marvels at how Wemby guards the entire opposing team and how God must be a Spurs fan with Wemby succeeding Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the latest generational big man in San Antonio. 16:37 ... World B reacts to the Spurs big win in game 4 with Wemby leading the way once again. 18:09 ... Bruce points out how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has struggled offensively against the Spurs and with two key teammates like Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell battling health issues, the Spurs will continue to "throw the kitchen sink" at SGA if they miss more action.  The result will be to wear SGA down and that will mean big trouble for OKC.  Ross adds some perspective to the OKC offensive struggles. 20:11 ... World B explains how the return of De'Aaron Fox has been really important as far as the offense running smoothly.  Ross feels like game 5 is a "must win" game for the Thunder. 22:40 ...

Chiang explains that Miami has an intriguing package to offer but says any potential deal could ultimately depend on what competing teams are willing to put on the table, while also emphasizing that the Heat know major changes are needed after this past season. The conversation also centers around whether Miami would ever consider moving Bam Adebayo in a blockbuster trade, with Chiang saying he would be shocked if the Heat included Bam in a Giannis deal. The segment also touches on Miami's reported lack of interest in Ja Morant at the trade deadline despite Omar Kelly wanting the Heat to pursue him, along with playoff discussion surrounding Cavaliers vs. Pistons and Spurs vs. Timberwolves, plus Chiang's belief that LeBron James ultimately remains with the Lakers.

Chiang also weighs in on the Heat's stance on Bam Adebayo, Miami's reported lack of interest in Ja Morant at the trade deadline, and why he expects LeBron James to remain with the Lakers. The segment wraps with a spirited Heat debate as the guys discuss whether Miami should take a swing on Ja Morant despite his off-court concerns, with Omar Kelly intrigued by the value potential while Hollywood questions the long-term fit and culture risk.
