Podcast appearances and mentions of Zion Williamson

Should the Chicago Bulls stop chasing incremental upgrades and save their assets for the player who can actually change the franchise ceiling?On today's Chicago Bulls Central, Haize breaks down one of the biggest questions of the Bryson Graham rebuild: when should the Bulls finally cash in their flexibility? Chicago has kept its books clean with Josh Giddey on a flat contract, Caleb Wilson and Matas Buzelis on rookie-scale deals, movable veteran contracts like Norman Powell, Nic Claxton, Isaac Okoro and Jalen Smith, plus additional draft capital from the Ayo Dosunmu trade. That flexibility matters — but only if Graham uses it at the right time.Haize explains why Chicago should call about players like Jericho Sims, Jordan Hawkins, Peyton Watson and Scoot Henderson, but also why there is a major difference between a value move and a franchise-altering move. The Bulls still need to learn what Caleb Wilson, Matas Buzelis and Josh Giddey truly are before spending major assets on the wrong star or the wrong position.The show dives into the major evaluation questions: Is Caleb a No. 1 option, elite No. 2 or high-level starter? Is Matas a true second star or more of a third option? Does Giddey scale as the long-term playoff point guard? Which young players — Rob Dillingham, Dailyn Swain, Noa Essengue and Leonard Miller — are real rotation assets? And does the Wilson-Claxton frontcourt actually work offensively?Plus, Haize builds a Bulls star-target board featuring Paolo Banchero, Donovan Mitchell, Franz Wagner, Devin Booker, Evan Mobley, Zion Williamson, Tyler Herro, Michael Porter Jr. and more — while explaining why Chicago cannot spend superstar ammunition on secondary pieces.

It's just the two of them this week — Harp's off in San Antonio, so Robert Horry and Rob Jenners are running the show solo, old-school style. No Shoot Around this Friday either, so they're packing everything into one episode.   They start with the good stuff: the NBA dropped a taste of the schedule, and the Christmas Day slate is loaded — Spurs-Knicks, Heat-Celtics, Sixers-Lakers (hello LeBron revenge tour), Thunder-Wolves, and Nuggets-Warriors closing it out. Bob and Rob debate whether Denver deserved the marquee spot over Dallas, and that turns into a bigger conversation about how much longer Jokic and Steph stick around their current teams — and why neither of them should ever, ever run for office.   From there it's opening week previews, a Pistons discussion that gets real about the Jalen Duren contract standoff, and Bob's old war stories about guys faking injuries to force a new deal. Then the Kawhi Leonard stuff. Another secret endorsement deal surfaced this week — this time with Daktronics — and the guys walk through it, plus the resurfaced details from the Lakers' 2019 free agency pitch that the league is now investigating. They get into whether the Clippers star actually suits up this season and what it means if the NBA lets this slide.   Also on deck: Dillon Brooks cashing in with a $73 million extension from the Spurs, Wemby flying the whole Spurs roster to Paris for a mini training camp, and Robert's take on a young guy trying to "lead" without doing anything out of the ordinary.   VJ Edgecombe getting FaceTimed by LeBron leads Bob into one of his own stories from his playing days, and then Scottie Pippen's blunt comments about Zion Williamson's discipline get the full breakdown — including Bob's offer to personally get Zion in shape.   They pay respects to the late, great Don Nelson, run back Adam Vinatieri's surprisingly filthy Hall of Fame speech, and there's a QVC clip that has to be heard to be believed. Big Shot of the Week goes to a Virginia man who donated a kidney to a stranger and wore his Santa hat into surgery to do it.   And to close it out — since it's just the two of them — they finally play 82 and 0 on the show for the first time, drafting all-time rosters and trying (and mostly failing) to go undefeated.   00:00  Kickoff: Just Rob and Rob This Week 01:34  Christmas Day Slate Revealed 02:34  Jokic, Steph and the Nuggets-Warriors Debate 07:05  NBA Opening Week Schedule 08:04  Pistons Outlook and the Jalen Duren Standoff 10:34  Old-School Contract Holdout Stories 12:34  Setting Up 82 and 0 14:11  Kawhi's Latest Secret Endorsement Deal 15:34  The 2019 Clippers Free Agency Allegations 20:34  Will Kawhi Suit Up This Season? 22:34  Dillon Brooks Cashes In 24:34  Wemby's Paris Minicamp 27:05  VJ Edgecombe's LeBron FaceTime Story 29:34  Scottie Pippen Sounds Off on Zion 37:34  Remembering Don Nelson 39:30  Vinatieri's Hall of Fame Roast 40:55  QVC Wig Clip of the Week 42:32  Big Shot of the Week: Dave Bell 43:36  Playing 82 and 0 53:03  TV Talk and Sign-Off

The New Orleans Pelicans appear confident that their current roster is capable of competing without making major offseason additions. Big Q examines Joe Dumars' vision, the team's patience during free agency, whether internal development is enough to compete in the Western Conference, and what could still happen before training camp.The New Orleans Pelicans continue to send one clear message this offseason—they believe they already have enough talent to win.But are they making the right decision?On this episode of the Pelican Postgame Report (PPR), Big Q breaks down why Executive Vice President Joe Dumars and the front office appear comfortable with the current roster, what's behind the organization's patient approach, and whether New Orleans can realistically contend in a loaded Western Conference without making another significant move.Is the team betting on internal development under Head Coach Jamahl Mosley? Could another trade still be coming? Or is this roster already good enough to surprise the NBA?

The Boston Celtics just traded Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers for Paul George and draft picks, and Missing the Point is officially entering emergency podcast mode.Dave Clarke and Matt Wilcox break down the shocking Jaylen Brown trade, the Celtics' decision to send a Finals MVP and franchise cornerstone directly to one of their biggest Eastern Conference rivals, and whether Brad Stevens just made one of the worst trades in Boston sports history. Is this worse than the Mookie Betts trade? The Babe Ruth sale? Joe Thornton to the Sharks? Jeff Bagwell to the Astros? Chauncey Billups leaving the Celtics before becoming a Finals MVP? The guys rank the Jaylen Brown-Paul George trade among the most painful Boston sports moves ever.The episode dives deep into the trade package, including Paul George, the 2028 and 2031 first-round pick value, the second-round picks, and whether the Celtics actually improved their future or simply got older, worse, and emotionally ruined. Dave and Matt compare Jaylen Brown vs. Paul George, discuss Brown's career-best season, George's injury concerns, Boston's salary cap issues, and what this means for Jayson Tatum, Derrick White, Payton Pritchard, Sam Hauser, Baylor Scheierman, Mitchell Robinson, and the rest of the Celtics roster.Then, the guys try to salvage the entire disaster with one dream trade idea: calling the New Orleans Pelicans for Zion Williamson and Herb Jones. Could Boston flip Paul George and the 76ers picks into a new Celtics core around Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson, Herb Jones, Mitchell Robinson, and Payton Pritchard? Or is this just Celtics grief bargaining in real time?After the Celtics therapy session, Missing the Point pivots to UFC 329, headlined by Conor McGregor vs. Max Holloway 2 at welterweight.

Ken argues Cleveland fans have grown too quick to throw Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley into trade talks because LeBron James, still playing at a high level, remains the unfair standard everyone gets measured against. He and Lima also speculate Koby Altman may be quietly shopping Jarrett Allen rather than Mobley, since the two bigs can't effectively space the floor together in the playoffs, and toss around long-shot names like Zion Williamson and Anthony Davis as potential targets. Both hosts note that if LeBron ultimately signs elsewhere, the fallout and blame will unfairly land on Mitchell rather than the front office.

Ja Morant to Pelicans rumors are heating up as insiders identify New Orleans as a front-runner to acquire the Memphis Grizzlies superstar guard if he becomes available via trade.Could the Pelicans make the biggest move of the NBA offseason? Reports suggest New Orleans is aggressively exploring ways to reshape the roster after a disappointing 26-56 season. If a Ja Morant trade becomes reality, it would likely signal the end of the Dejounte Murray era in New Orleans while creating an explosive new pairing between Zion Williamson and one of the NBA's most dynamic guards.

Jaylen Brown Pelicans Trade Rumors are heating up after Bleacher Report's Jake Fischer reportedly revealed that the New Orleans Pelicans have interest in acquiring Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown via trade this offseason.Big Q breaks down what a Jaylen Brown to Pelicans move would mean for New Orleans, why Brown could be viewed as an “alpha dog” on his own team, and whether the Pelicans should even consider making a massive trade swing for a championship-tested star.Would Jaylen Brown fit next to Zion Williamson, Trey Murphy III, Dejounte Murray, and Herb Jones? What would the Pelicans have to give up? Could Brown become the true lead option New Orleans has been searching for? Or would this type of blockbuster trade cost too much of the Pelicans' future?On this episode of The Pelican Postgame Report, Big Q reacts to the latest Pelicans trade rumors, Jaylen Brown's star profile, Boston's potential offseason questions, New Orleans' roster direction, and whether this is realistic basketball business or just offseason smoke.

More Trey Murphy III Trade Rumors Pre-Draft continue to circulate as the NBA Draft approaches, and Big Q breaks down the latest reports connecting Trey Murphy III to potential trade scenarios.

The sports card market is undergoing a massive, fundamental shift. The days of the fragile 2020 pandemic hype cyclewhere collectors threw ungodly amounts of money at unproven rookies, speculative prospects, and volatile flips like Zion Williamson or Ben Simmonshave evolved. Today, the biggest institutional money, investment funds, and seasoned hobbyists are completely changing their strategies. In this episode of The Geoff Wilson Show, I break down exactly what I witnessed on the floor of the Dallas Card Show. From my 15-year-old son Reeves shifting his entire playbook from prospecting to flipping icons like Kobe Bryant and Tom Brady, to outside capital demanding safety over speculation, the market is choosing permanence over potential. I deep dive into why collectors are paying staggering premiums for certainty, the danger of short-term hype vs. long-term legacy, and how you can select prospects like Victor Wembanyama with much higher selectivity. In this episode, we cover: The Extinction of Hype Flips: Look back at the 2020 boom vs. 2026 reality. Why a one-game performance from players like Trae Young used to double card prices overnight, and why that market fragility is gone. Permanence vs. Potential: The painful lessons learned from speculating on ultra-modern rookies (Desmond Ridder, Michael Penix Jr., and Ja Morant) and why true liquidity has returned to the GOATs. The $1 Million Bet: How my massive 2023 investment in discounted all-time greats paid off, and why those historical blueprint cards (Jordan, LeBron, Brady, Mahomes, Ohtani) continue to shatter records. Selecting Generational Prospects: The exact checklist a prospect must clear to survive a 20-year hold, and why Victor Wembanyama fits into a completely separate tier of speculation. Hidden GOAT Categories: Alternative, mature avenues to invest in legacy athletes without paying stratosphere card prices, including autographed Sports Illustrated debut magazines and game-used memorabilia.

The New York Knicks are headed to the NBA Finals, and their run raises a fascinating team-building question: how did they build a championship contender without relying on homegrown lottery picks? Wes Goldberg is joined by Gavin Schall of Locked On Knicks to break down how New York built its Finals team around Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby, Karl-Anthony Towns and Mikal Bridges. Unlike past Knicks regimes that chased shortcuts with moves like Eddy Curry, Joakim Noah, Andrea Bargnani and Steve Francis, this version of the Knicks showed patience, adjusted the roster over time and built a real championship formula. Then, John Wilmes of RealGM joins to talk about the biggest NBA offseason questions. What should the Cleveland Cavaliers do after falling short? Where could Giannis Antetokounmpo or Kawhi Leonard land if they hit the trade market? What happens with Ja Morant?
