Podcast appearances and mentions of Ja Morant

In hour three, a crash course on preparing for Super Bowl Radio Row. Should the Heat change course and trade for Ja Morant if the Giannis deal falls through? Plus, an early look at some of our favorite novelty props for the Super Bowl.

We start the show talking about how annoying this snow and ice is (3:00) before discussing the Grizzlies loss last night at home to the Charlotte Hornets, how the Hornets have similar vibes to the Grizzlies teams of a few years ago + Chris took his daughter to the game and she got to meet GG Jackson and Cedric Coward. After that we'll go into all the future draft picks the Grizzlies have, the upcoming trade deadline and the possibility they keep Ja Morant and showcase him for the last 2 months of the season to get his trade value up in the offseason (7:45). Marc Stein wrote about what he's hearing with the Giannis trade market and we'll go through there. Would you want to see Giannis team up with Steph Curry on the Warriors??? The Timberwolves are also mentioned as are the Miami Heat. Could the Grizzlies help facilitate a trade and add more assets if they choose to rebuild???? (1:01:34). We'll finish up talking about tonight's Memphis/FAU game and how much things have changed for smaller conferences just in the last 2 years when you look at KenPom rankings (1:22:10)Host: Chris VernonContributors: Jon Roser, Devin WalkerTechnical Director: Jaylon Wallace Associate Producer: Jena Broyles

NBA insider Brian Geltzeiler joins to weigh in on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade chatter, saying that Giannis has quietly been asking out of Milwaukee for over a year and could be moved before the deadline. He says the Miami Heat have a legitimate shot at landing him, highlighting their young talent as potential trade pieces, while also naming Atlanta, Detroit, and Toronto as possible destinations. Geltzeiler notes concerns about Giannis' health after consecutive playoff injuries and cautions that trading heavily for a superstar hasn't always worked out, citing Phoenix acquiring Kevin Durant and the Clippers trading for Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. He also touches on Ja Morant, but doesn't expect him to be traded before the deadline.

Miami Hurricanes basketball coach Jai Lucas joins to break down the team's big win over Stanford, emphasizing a day-by-day approach, the importance of winning ACC home games, and the impact freshman Cameron Boozer is already making. The conversation shifts to the NBA as insider Brian Geltzeiler weighs in on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade buzz, explaining that Giannis has quietly been requesting a move from Milwaukee and that the Heat have a real shot at landing him. Geltzeiler also highlights trade concerns, Giannis' recent injury history, and why previous “trade-the-farm” moves haven't always worked, while briefly touching on Ja Morant's status. Joe and the crew also discuss Kel'el Ware's role on the Heat, Pilates surprises, and a few lighthearted moments with Jamie.

Hour 1 is dives into Heat trade rumors as Joe and Dave Hyde debate whether Miami realistically has the assets to pursue Giannis Antetokounmpo, with the missing 2027 first-round pick from the Terry Rozier deal looming large. The conversation expands to the Heat's inconsistency, the lack of a true superstar, and why it may be time for a major move—even if Dave isn't sold on options like Ja Morant. They also touch on the Panthers feeling the impact of life without Barkov and how stars elevate everyone around them. The hour shifts to Bill Belichick being left off the first-ballot Hall of Fame, as Dave shares insight from his own time as a Hall of Fame voter and explains how personal the process can get, while questioning if cheating scandals, voter feelings, and even Robert Kraft played a role

On this episode of Combo's Court, Combo and Pierre (Numbers On The Board) dive into one of the biggest questions surrounding the Warriors: will Steph Curry finish his career with the Golden State Warriors? The conversation breaks down Steph's legacy, Golden State's responsibility to maximize his remaining prime, and whether playing “meaningful basketball” matters more than chasing one more ring. From there, the discussion expands into a deeper NBA debate — do positions still matter, or has the league misunderstood what “positionless basketball” really means? Combo and Pierre unpack how stars like Trae Young, Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball, Zion Williamson, Anthony Edwards, and Giannis are valued in today's trade market, why role players may be getting overrated, and how salary caps, health, and playoff success shape real team-building decisions. The episode also touches on the Knicks' outlook, All-Star snubs, legacy narratives, and more! The show wraps with a hip-hop crossover debate on 50 Cent, Jay-Z, and classic album legacy.

They react to the All-Star starters in the East and West, debate whether Anthony Edwards was snubbed, and explain why Steph Curry, Wembanyama, and the international stars changed the entire structure of this year's game. They also dig into why winning should matter more in All-Star voting, why Embiid doesn't deserve to make it, and which players actually belong on the new international roster.The conversation shifts to the teams no one can figure out. The Timberwolves' inconsistency, Ant's on-off nights, and why Denver keeps winning even without Jokic. Peyton Watson's breakout, role players stepping up, and what that says about real internal development versus empty stats.Then it turns dark for Golden State.
