Never in NBA history has an offense been spearheaded by TWO jumbo playmakers -- until now. Luka Doncic and LeBron James could unlock creative, brilliant offensive options for Head Coach JJ Redick, according to Laker Film Room's own Pete Zayas. KOC and Pete break down the potential upside for the Lakers, the downside (hint: DEFENSE) and why prioritizing another trade for a BIG MAN is utterly imperative if the Lakers want to compete for a title this year. Don't look now, but Kevin Durant could be on the move. KOC is also joined by Bleacher Report's Mo Dakhil discuss the potential destinations they see as a fit for KD, along with what they're both hearing from their sources ahead of the deadline. And the big winner (so far) of this year's Trade Deadline? NOT the Los Angeles Lakers -- but the San Antonio Spurs (!) according to Kevin O'Connor. Why the De'Aaron Fox trade will have Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs contending as soon as this year, because Kevin thinks San Antonio isn't done wheeling just yet. Plus, the latest on Cam Johnson, the New York Knicks, Bradley Beal, DeMar DeRozan, the Orlando Magic and so much more. (0:25) Pete Zayas joins KOC(0:53) Luka + LeBron fit(9:45) Lakers need a center(18:03) What if Luka + LeBron don't mesh?(18:57) AD's fit with Mavericks(25:49) Mo Dakhil joins KOC(25:57) Spurs acquire De'Aaron Fox(32:22) Will Spurs make another move?(38:40) Spurs need a 4 or 5 with Wemby?(43:07) Did Bulls get a bad deal for LaVine?(47:28) LaVine fit with the Kings(49:34) Should Kings trade DeRozan?(52:03) Kevin Durant trade rumors(59:00) Trade for Larry Nance Jr?(1:01:45) 76ers-Mavericks trade(1:05:50) Mo on the Luka-AD trade Subscribe to The Kevin O'Connor Show on your favorite podcast app:

Mavs fans: Kevin sees you, and Kevin hears you. Please sit down, get comfortable, and tell us how Nico Harrison's decision to trade Luka Doncic hurt you. Because that's what his good friend and Dallas Mavericks diehard fan Jason Gallagher did on this edition of the KOC Show. Jason's beloved Luka Doncic is now a member of the Los Angeles Lakers, and there's nothing anyone can do about that. Dr. O'Connor first tried immersive therapy with Jason, where Kevin played the role of Nico Harrison so that Jason could confront "the Mavs GM." Then Kevin helped Jason get through the stages of grief, with a little bargaining. Maybe Anthony Davis can help win a title this year? Perhaps some trades are still in the works for the Mavs, including Zion Williamson, Zach LaVine, and Cam Johnson coming to Dallas. It's all on this therapeutic installment of The Kevin O'Connor Show. (0:43) Mavericks therapy session with Jason Gallagher(16:13) KOC role-plays as Mavs GM Nico Harrison(31:18) 4 trades Mavs could still make Subscribe to The Kevin O'Connor Show on your favorite podcast app:

This week on The Young Man and the Three we welcome Ben Simmons of the Brooklyn Nets, hosted by his teammate Cam Johnson. The episode begins with Tommy and Jason talking to Trey Murphy III of the New Orleans Pelicans about the Pelicans' hot streak, the play of CJ McCollum, and things that have caught their eye around the league recently (Hint: it's Cade Cunningham and CP3). Then Cam and Ben discuss Ben's return from injuries and surgeries and the battles that rehab requires, including Ben questioning if he wanted to continue playing basketball. Then, Ben talks about his mindset when it comes to people talking sh*t to him. He also reflects about his time with the Philadelphia 76ers and what he appreciated about playing in Philly. Ben also opens up out his upbringing in Australia and his fishing hobby. Cam and Ben then share why they enjoy playing with ‘sickos' like JJ Redick and Jimmy Butler. Toward the end of their conversation, they discuss some of their favorite playmakers in the NBA like Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, Trae Young, and more. We close out the episode with Trey, Tommy, and Jason drafting NBA players past and present that they'd least want to get stuck in an elevator with.

First up, the Front Office insider Marks is asked whether he believes the Memphis Grizzlies are the secret team in the running for Jimmy Butler. Knowing he's a rental like what the Toronto Raptors once got for Kawhi Leonard, would the Grizz do it? Plus KOC and Bobby break down the trade possibilities for 3 disappointing teams: the Phoenix Suns, the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Golden State Warriors. Interestingly enough, Bobby and Kevin both seem to think Draymond Green could be moved to the Dallas Mavericks or the Detroit Pistons. And between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Oklahoma City Thunder, which powerhouse is the more likely trade destination for Cam Johnson?And when John Fanta stops by, Cooper Flagg is the name of the game. Which NBA player comps can they both see in the Duke phenom? Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Garnett, and Anthony Davis are just some of the names that the guys land on when it comes to the guaranteed #1 overall pick in the 2025 NBA Draft.

Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA basketball betting for Monday January 6th. The guys discuss the Jimmy Butler drama and give out best bets. NBA Dream Pod Monday + Best Bets Summary The podcast, hosted by Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers, covers NBA updates, player performances, team dynamics, and betting strategies for the 2024-25 season. Key topics include Jimmy Butler's trade rumors, Kawhi Leonard's return, major Monday matchups, and expert best bets. Jimmy Butler Trade Speculation (3:55 - 10:01) Jimmy Butler has likely played his last game for the Miami Heat after reportedly requesting a trade. His value to the team has diminished to just 2.5 points, and the Heat are now ranked 20th overall. Mackenzie highlights Butler's unique skill set, which is valuable for title-contending teams but less impactful for a rebuilding Heat. The Warriors and Suns are rumored trade destinations, though Pat Riley may delay a deal until the summer. Kawhi Leonard's Return (10:02 - 15:33) Kawhi Leonard made his season debut, scoring 12 points in 19 minutes during a blowout win over Atlanta. Mackenzie describes Kawhi as “a better version of Jimmy Butler” and a proven playoff performer. The Clippers, currently 20-15 and seventh in the West, are seen as a sleeper pick for title contention, especially with Kawhi boosting their fourth-ranked defense. Key Matchups Suns vs. Sixers (16:57 - 20:31) Joel Embiid is expected to play as the Sixers (-3.5) host the struggling Suns. Embiid, averaging 27+ points over five games, could dominate against Phoenix's poor defense. Magic vs. Knicks (22:50 - 25:26) Injury-plagued Orlando faces the Knicks (-11.5) in a grueling schedule stretch. Mackenzie prefers a first-half Knicks play, given their recent strong starts. Clippers vs. Timberwolves (26:47 - 29:33) Kawhi's return boosts the Clippers, but Minnesota (-3) remains favored. Both teams' defensive prowess makes the under (214.5) a strong bet. Best Bets Milwaukee Bucks (-6.5) Mackenzie backs Milwaukee, citing their bounce-back trend after upset losses as double-digit favorites (59% ATS on the road). Facing Toronto's weak defense, Giannis and the Bucks are in a prime get-right spot. Indiana Pacers (-8.5) Munaf targets Brooklyn's depleted roster, with key players Cam Thomas and Cam Johnson out. Indiana's potent offense, scoring 123+ in four of their last five games, should dominate a Nets team lacking firepower. Player Prop Best Bet Emmanuel Quickley Over 6.5 Assists (40:32 - 42:11) Quickley recorded 11 and 15 assists in his last two games. Milwaukee's defensive struggles against point guards support this prop in a high-scoring game (total 230). Final Notes The podcast emphasizes critical stats and trends, such as the Clippers' top-tier defense, Kawhi's playoff impact, and Indiana's offensive surge. Betting insights include fading the Magic due to injuries and backing road favorites like the Bucks and Pacers. The episode wraps up with optimism for the NBA season and trade deadline rumors heating up. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

This week on the Young Man and the Three we welcome Brooklyn Nets forward Cam Johnson and the legendary Sue Bird to have an in-depth discussion about the current states of the NBA, WNBA, and college basketball. First, Tommy Alter and Jason Gallagher intro the episode with some takes and updates. Sue and Cam then discuss how star players in the NBA and generated differently than stars in the WNBA (Caitlin Clark, Angel Reese), how options like Overtime Elite and G League Ignite have affected the men's game, and the differences between men's and women's college basketball. Then, they break down everything surrounding NBA and WNBA television ratings and if they even matter at all. Cam and Sue also both get very candid about what it's like playing for rebuilding teams, being in trade talks, and Dennis Schroder's trade to the Golden State Warriors. They also discuss the new NBA all-star game format. Lastly, they have an honest convo about the three-point shooting boom, if teams are truly taking too many threes, if teams are copying the Boston Celtics or if it's actually the best way to win games, and how current NBA play compares to past NBA generations and Olympic play. This is truly one of our best episodes.
