Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine dive into the stats to determine if the Milwaukee Bucks should trade Giannis Antetokounmpo after he revealed that the trade rumors surrounding him this summer were not only true, but that he has a preferred destination in mind: the New York Knicks. Is now the right time for the Bucks to consider moving Giannis in order to set themselves up for success in a future without him? And if so, how can the Knicks realistically make a move for Giannis when they only have one first round pick to offer?Plus, the duo reacts to Ja Morant's 'week-to-week' sprained ankle injury and how it will impact the Memphis Grizzlies starting lineup just days away from opening night.(1:56) The Big Number: Should Bucks trade Giannis?(18:12) Little Numbers: Wins Above Replacement Bucks lost this offseason(22:57) Little Numbers: When will Bucks control their own 1st round pick?(29:24) Little Numbers: Knicks tradable 1st round draft picks(33:56) Little Numbers: OG Anunoby & Mikal Bridges trade offers(38:06) Ja Morant week-to-week with ankle sprain

Steve Francis joins The Bubba Dub Show!
According to reporting from The Daily Memphian, the Grizzlies have so far been reluctant to sign a long-term lease with the city of Memphis due to concerns about the state of downtown and the areas around the FedExForum. How much worry should Grizzlies' fans have about the franchise's future in Memphis?To discuss that topic, Chris Herrington joins Keith on this episode. Beyond the current lease situation, they also talk about the best and worst moves the team made this offseason, the fit of Scotty Pippen Jr, Ty Jerome and Ja Morant, and some of the greatest American films of the 1940s.To join the listener fantasy football league go to Patreon.com/FastbreakBreakfast.Use promo code FBBF and get up to $1000 in bonus cash at Underdog Fantasy: play.underdogfantasy.com/p-fastbreak-breakfastCheck out the NBA and Grizzlies merchandise at teepublic.com/stores/fastbreak-breakfastGet $20 off your first purchase at SeatGeek with promo code: FASTBREAKBREAK
Chris Herrington discusses where Ja Morant would go in a league-wide draft, and Geoff discusses the latest NFL news.
Munaf Manji and Mackenzie Rivers talk NBA offseason moves and much more. The NBA offseason has been anything but quiet, with retirements, betting controversies, and opening night matchups fueling headlines. John Wall officially retired after an injury-filled career that began with promise in Washington, while Derrick Rose will have his No. 1 jersey retired by the Chicago Bulls, honoring his MVP peak before injuries changed his trajectory. Off-court drama also made waves as Malik Beasley was cleared in a federal gambling investigation, reopening his free agency with interest from the Detroit Pistons and New York Knicks. The case highlighted growing concerns over NBA betting integrity, with discussions about limiting unders on fringe players after scandals involving Jonte Porter. Opening night brings high drama. The Oklahoma City Thunder, fresh off their championship, host the Houston Rockets, who now feature Kevin Durant in a stunning return to OKC. Oddsmakers list the Thunder as 6.5-point favorites, backed by continuity, elite net rating, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's MVP form. Analysts expect Durant and Jalen Green to thrive in Houston but caution that defensive chemistry will take time after trading away Dillon Brooks. The second marquee game pits the Golden State Warriors against the Los Angeles Lakers. Steph Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler headline a Warriors roster built on stability, while the Lakers counter with Luka Doncic alongside LeBron James at age 41. Experts argue Golden State is undervalued, pointing to their cohesion and defensive strength compared to the Lakers' questionable fit and reliance on Luka's offense. Debate then shifted to overrated and underrated stars entering the 2025–26 season. Anthony Edwards, despite highlight dunks and hype, was criticized for inconsistency, limited playmaking, and average defense in key playoff series. Trae Young's efficiency, turnovers, and defensive liability made him another overrated pick, while LeBron James was called statistically brilliant yet less impactful on winning at this stage of his career. Ja Morant's injuries and lack of reliable shooting lowered his stock, and even fan-favorite Alex Caruso was labeled overrated due to inflated advanced metrics. On the underrated side, Joel Embiid was deemed far too low on rankings despite injury concerns, still a dominant force when healthy. Orlando's Franz Wagner was praised for versatility, scoring, and leadership alongside Paolo Banchero, positioning him as a rising top-15 talent. Jalen Williams of the Thunder was highlighted as a two-way star capable of being more than a Robin, while Bam Adebayo's defense and potential offensive leap could transform Miami. Even Steph Curry, though widely respected, was argued to remain underrated for the way he elevates teammates. The podcast closed with betting insights. The Los Angeles Clippers were recommended at -8 over the rebuilding Utah Jazz, given depth, continuity, and elite defense led by Kawhi Leonard and James Harden. Another best bet circled the Toronto Raptors +6 against the Atlanta Hawks, citing Brandon Ingram's addition, improved depth, and Atlanta's poor record as home favorites. As the 2025–26 season approaches, the NBA's mix of star power, betting intrigue, and opening-night storylines ensures drama on and off the court. From Durant's OKC return to debates over Edwards, Young, and Embiid, fans and bettors alike have plenty to watch. The association never sleeps, and this season promises to be another defining chapter. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

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.
