Potacast'in sezon finalinde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu, franchise tarihinin ilk NBA şampiyonluğuna ulaşan Oklahoma City Thunder'ın bu tarihi başarısını ve kıyasıya rekabet içinde geçerek yedinci maça uzayan Indiana Pacers final serisini değerlendiriyor. Uzun yıllar akıllardan çıkmayacak bu maçta Tyrese Haliburton'ın mücadelenin hemen başında sakatlanarak maça devam edememesi, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander'ın MVP ve Finaller MVP'si seçilmesi, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Hartenstein ve Jalen Williams ile birlikte baştan sonra harika bir maç geçiren Thunder'ın hanedanlık kurma ihtimali gibi konular değerlendiriliyor. Özellikle Tyrese Haliburton'un sakatlanarak maça devam edememesinin Indiana Pacers açısından her şeyi değiştirmesi, Pascal Siakam ve TJ McConnell gibi isimlerin sahanın her yerinde doğru oyunu oynayan Thunder karşısında elinden geleni yapması gibi konuların mercek altına alınmasından sonra sakatlıklar ekseninde Doğu Konferansı'nın Batı Konferansı ile arasındaki kalite farkının önümüzdeki sezon daha fazla hissedilip hissedilemeyeceği üzerinde yoğunlaşılıyor. Şampiyonluğun konuşulmasının ardından gerçekleşen takaslar ve gündemin diğer öne çıkan başlıklarına değinilerek sohbet devam ediyor. Orlando Magic'in Desmond Bane hamlesinin Magic için ne kadar doğru olduğu, Memphis Grizzlies'in Ja Morant'ten çıkamayacak durumda olması ile Morant'in yeteneklerinin sakatlıklar dolayısıyla erozyona uğramasının Memphis için etkileri ile başlayan sohbet, Houston Rockets'ın kadrosuna Kevin Durant'i katmasıyla devam ediyor. Rockets'ın, Durant için takasta verdiklerinin ne kadar akıllıca olduğu, Durant'in, Amen Thompson ve Alperen Şengün'ün takımda kalmasıyla hücum yönünde Rockets'a neler katabileceği gibi konular konuşulurken diğer yandan Phoenix Suns'ın son iki senedir kadro mühendisliği ve organizasyon içinde yaşanan problemler dolayısıyla deyim yerindeyse bir bataklığın içine sürüklenmesinin olası etkileri inceleniyor. Programın kapanışında Los Angeles Lakers'ın tarihin en pahalıya satılan spor kulübü olması konuşuluyor. Lakers'ın NBA bünyesindeki en değerli takımlardan biri olmasına rağmen kulübün eski sahiplerinin Lakers organizasyonunu yönetirken başarısız olduğu konuların yeni yönetimle ortadan kalkma ihtimalinin gelecekte ne gibi etkileri olabileceği üzerinde varsayımlarda bulunuluyor.
Big O talks Ja Morant
This past Sunday, the Memphis Grizzlies and Orlando Magic shocked the NBA with a sneaky mid-level trade: Desmond Bane is headed to Orlando, while Memphis receives KCP, Cole Anthony, four unprotected first-round picks, and a pick swap. The crew breaks it down:
On this week's episode, the newest member of the Orlando Magic joins us! Desmond Bane discusses his trade from the Memphis Grizzlies to the Magic and what he's looking forward to the most about playing Paolo Banchero and Franz Wagner. He also shares his thoughts about Memphis in reaction to ESPN's Stephen A. Smith's recent comments about the city and Ja Morant, and then helps break down the NBA Finals. Let's go.GAMBLING PROBLEM?

On tonight's Dead End Sports Live, we break down a surprising mid-level NBA trade between the Grizzlies and Magic. The deal sent Desmond Bane to Orlando and brought back a haul of picks (and bodies) to Memphis. Did either team win this deal? Then we pivot to Game 5 of the NBA Finals, where the Oklahoma City Thunder took control of the series against the Pacers. With Game 6 set for Juneteenth in Indiana, can OKC finish the job and bring home their first title? We also ask the tough question: Should Memphis consider trading Ja Morant with all these new picks? Later, we shift to the NFL: After a blowout loss to the Eagles in the Super Bowl, is the Chiefs' AFC reign finally ending? And which AFC team has the best shot to knock them off the throne? Finally, we revisit the Top 10 picks from the 2025 NFL Draft. Who's about to break out — and who's already smelling like a bust?
Gil's Arena Reacts To Stephen A Smith BLASTING Giannis Antetokounmpo & Ja Morant as the Gil's Arena Crew react to Stephen A Smith's viral takes surrounding the 2 NBA Superstar, where the ESPN media mogul labeled the Greek Freak as an underachiever if he doesn't win another NBA Championship and told Ja Morant to force his way off the Memphis Grizzlies before the team caves itself in. They debate is Stephen A was spitting or tripping with his hostile comments and reopen the discussion surrounding the NBA Media's role in determining a player's legacy. Next, Kenyon Martin looks back on his incredible NBA Career and takes Gil's Arena through his worst day in the NBA by detailing the first day of training camp he endured. He also breaks down his infamous scuffle with Tracy McGrady and responds to T-Mac's comments on the fight & his relationship with Kenyon. Next, they react to Draymond Green's comments saying he would rather lose in the first round of the NBA Playoff than the NBA Finals and give their take on the perspective of the 4 time NBA Champion, before breaking down Russell Westbrook's future in the NBA as the legendary point guard eyes a new team this summer. Finally, they give their takes on LeBron James' comments on ring culture from the latest episode of the Mind The Game Podcast before reacting to Dejounte Murray telling his story of the off the court issues that hampered his rough season with the New Orleans Pelicans.

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Oklahoma City Thunder winning Game 4 of the NBA Finals and Desmond Bane being traded. Bo starts off the show by praising Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's finish to Game 4 (2:35) and why he'd rather see SGA create space for himself than fake a fall (3:26). Bo continues by saying it's the most wide open NBA Finals we've ever seen (10:04) and jokes that Lu Dort would've been in the NFL if he was born in the United States (11:36). Bo weighs in on the Memphis Grizzlies trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic by declaring that it is not a "blockbuster" (15:37) and that this may mean Ja Morant will be moved next (21:48). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving Hollywood dying, difficulties of teaching middle schoolers and private equity companies buying everything (28:52). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time your mom showed up to ruin something fun.
