Drew Hill, who covers the Memphis Grizzlies for the Daily Memphian, joined the show to talk about how the team feels about the fallout from the new Lottery Reform.
The Grizzlies were the only team to vote against the NBA's new 3-2-1 Lottery Reform proposal, objecting that they were being unfairly affected as restrictions were placed on one of the draft pick outcomes from the Jaren Jackson Jr trade.This episode dives into the issue, explains the full details of the new lottery system (including the big drawbacks), goes over how the odds next season will be affected by draft pick restrictions on the Wizards and Jazz, and looks at the potential "silver-lining" for Memphis.Join the listener slack at Patreon.com/FastbreakBreakfastPlease subscribe to this podcast on Youtube!Use promo code FBBF and get 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

We'll then move to talking about the Tigers loss last night to South Florida and Penny Hardaway's emotional press conference, how the season is taking a toll on him, if he'll return next season to coach the Tigers, how to build a college roster with the money they have available and more (16:00). Jaren Jackson Jr returns to the Forum tonight as a member of the Jazz. We'll discuss how emotional his video tribute will be, if Jitty will also get one and then Chris talks about team buliding in the NBA in 2026 and how it has changed from even 5 years ago. Will young teams be the new wave due to the salary cap implications of what you have to pay guys outside of their rookie contracts now???

Two time NBA All-Star, recently acquired by the Utah Jazz, will miss the remainder of this season due to surgery on his knee to treat Pigmented Villonodular Synovitis (say what?!?....come again?). In addition to doing another Olympic update, we explain what PVNS is and if it will be a problem for Jaren Jackson Jr. Does he really need to miss the rest of this season? Are there other factors at play in that decision making? Will this impact his career? All this and a very cool update from our producer, Kyle Miller, owner of Timber Reel Productions with the upcoming release of a life goal passion project!
On this episode of The Drive & Dish NBA Podcast, hosted by Kevin Rafuse (@rafusetolose) and Justin Cousart (@JustinContheAir), Kevin is joined by Sam B. Albuquerque (@sambalbuquerque) to break down a busy trade deadline. First, Kevin puts on his homer hat though and breaks down Paul George's 25 game suspension and the Sixers trading Jared McCain to OKC. Why Kevin and Sam think the PG suspension is not the end of the world, but why the McCain trade is a disaster. After the break, Jaren Jackson Jr. is officially shut down for the season after being traded to the Jazz. What this signals for a Grizzlies rebuild and a larger tanking race signal from Utah. Plus, why Utah came out of left to make this move. Next, Anthony Davis is headed to Washington to team up with Trae Young and the new look Wizards. Does this move make sense now? Then, a major swap between the Clippers and Cavaliers as James Harden and Darius Garland swap places. Why the Clippers made this move despite a turn around and if this makes the Cavaliers true contenders. Plus, a few quick hitters with the Bulls and red hot Hornets making moves.

A long-awaited piece of news broke just before we hit record on this episode: the Utah Jazz have added to the Great Young Core! Andy is jubilant after the Jazz traded for Jaren Jackson Jr. on Tuesday afternoon and shows up to record in what Brendan calls a "murdered-out Utah Jazz ensemble." After a Sports Minute focusing on the Great Young Core and Andy's upcoming Super Bowl experience in the Bay Area, the two discuss the actual big news of the day, LIV Golf receiving OWGR points for the 2026 season. The top 10 finishers at each LIV event will receive points, with nothing going to those finishing 11th or worse. This has already led to complaints from the league and comparisons to the full field receiving points at a non-Tour event like the Hero World Challenge. Andy believes LIV's complaints don't have a leg to stand on given that the league does not abide by some of the usual OWGR guidelines to begin with. Brendan dove into the 2026 LIV media guide to learn more about this year's teams and found some great nuggets while researching this week's fourth Ace. LIV will start its season in Riyadh, with the Saturday finish ending up on FOX Business. On the PGA Tour, the WM Phoenix Open looks to NOT finish in a playoff that runs into the Super Bowl. Andy's list of "5 Guys to Monitor This Week (For Various Reasons)" features a sponsored legend, a three-time major champion, and one of Brooks Koepka's mules! We also spend PLENTY of time learning about the second mule Brooks will be bringing along with him into the field this week. There's a hilarious list of DPWT notables in Qatar to round out this week's schedule before Andy and Brendan read the latest statement from the LPGA regarding Sunday's disaster in Florida. We'll see you on Friday for more! Join us in Chicagoland for an SGS Live Show on Thursday, February 12! We'll be hanging out at SPACE in Evanston, Illinois for a night of Q&A, Champs Tour Minute, and plenty of Bears chatter.

We open the show talking about the Grizzlies win last night over the Timberwolves, what Ty Jerome has brought to the team in his 2 games, the whistle Anthony Edwards gets and more (3:00). Next we'll talk about the news that broke last night about James Harden seeking a trade out of LA and the real reason he's upset + Cavs possibly moving on from Darius Garland in a deal for Harden and the Cavs also maybe moving on from Jarrett Allen to free up money to get in the Giannis deal. We'll then discuss the teams making moves on the edges to clear up space to make a deal for Giannis and how it relates to the Grizzlies (17:42).

As the trade deadline nears and with the East up for grabs, is it time for Trajan Langdon and the Pistons to swing big?
Mike and Rico had a conversation about the biggest snubs in sports history before discussing how much of a no-brainer a specific mock trade that would have the Pistons acquiring Jaren Jackson Jr. is.
Valenti can't understand how anyone wouldn't do this deal for the Pistons to acquire Grizzlies C Jaren Jackson Jr.
Valenti and Rico opened today's show with their thoughts on their no-brainer idea that would reunite the Tigers and franchise legend Justin Verlander via a 1-year, $10 million free agency deal. In the second hour, they focused on their all-time worst snubs in sports history and a mock trade that would send Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Pistons. Then, the guys had a conversation about what the Tigers' Vegas win total O/U means about the state of the team before they wondered if the Red Wings will get in on the Artemi Panarin sweepstakes.
