We're back on the show and in this period of light NBA news telling, Philadelphia 76ers GM Daryl Morey made some disturbing comments to The Athletic on the validity of the Lakers' 2020 championship (which he, of course, subsequently backtracked on). Tune in as the guys from the LFB (again...sigh) have to justify the title, explain (again...sigh) why there should never be an asterisk attached to it, and target Morey with some pointed comments of our own. Plus, what's the deal going on with the Golden State Warriors? And will their ongoing drama mean one less contender for the Lakers to have to deal with? And after Jrue Holiday last week, and Nikola Vucevic this week, who will be next to be thrown into the Lakers Rumor Mill?

0:00 ... Show Open ... Ross welcomes the panel and makes his dedication of show #166 to Jonathan Kuminga and Russell Westbrook who both shot just 66% from the free throw line last season. Bruce registers his disappointment with Ross's choice and suggests someone else. 1:54 ... The Charlotte Hornets are the NBA Summer League Champions ... Rookie Kon Knueppel led the way for the Hornets and we all learned the proper pronounciation of his first and last name. The future looks promising for the Hornets after a string of losing seasons, but health will be a huge issue for the "Bugs." 7:53 ... Bruce wants to give some love to Bronny James, who looked like a different player in the Summer League and could be poised to do well this season. 9:04 .... The WNBA All Star Weekend made all kinds of news, especially with their warmup T-Shirts that said "Pay Us What You Owe Us." The crew examines why the players in the "W" deserve more money and make suggestions on who should pay it. 13:09 ... As for the WNBA All Star game itself ..... it was a big bummer ... Rookie All-Star Paige Bueckers and ABC's Elle Duncan both trashed it on the air for the lack of defense and effort .... OUCH. 15:29 ... Bradley Beal certainly got paid and also got a ticket out of Phoenix to Los Angeles. His departure from the Valley leaves lots of wreckage behind as the Suns will need to stretch $97 million of his salary over the next 5 seasons, causing a major financial hurdle for a team that needs more talent. As for the Clippers, they have a lot of old dudes and are a textbook example of a "Win Now" team. And with the addition of 40 year old Chris Paul, the clock is definitely ticking on the veteran team's "window." 22:00 ... With all the old guys on the Clippers, the crew suggests sponsors whose logos can appear on the uniform jerseys of the team. Everyone took a shot and Ross's choice of "Depends" adult diapers was the clear winner among the crew. 23:40 ... 35 year old Damian Lillard is returning to the Portland Trailblazers and with the recent acquisition of another 35 year old guard, Jrue Holiday, the 48 Minutes crew is scratching their collective heads as to what the strategy of the team will be. Does it mean that Scoot Henderson is on shaky ground with the Blazers? 28:56 ... Ross leads a discussion on Giannis and whether any of these moves might make him appreciate being in Milwaukee. 31:42 ... Former Celtic Marcus Smart will soon join the Lakers after being bought out by the Wizards. Bruce and many other Celtics fans are all "up in their feelings" over this move. 35:05 ... Victor Wembanyama has been cleared to play again after suffering from blood clots in his shoulder last season. These are exciting times in San Antonio with Wemby joining Stephon Castle and Dylan Harper on a team that will be a "League Pass Obsession." 37:53 ... The New Orleans Pelicans are looking like a hot mess tossed into a dumpster fire. They've spent the entire off season making one questionable move after another. Over the weekend, their top rookie Derik Queen suffered a wrist injury that will sideline him for three months. New boss Joe Dumars is off to a "bumpy" start to say the least. 42:35 ... Good news in Denver .... recently acquired Jonas Valanciunas has agreed to stop his pursuit of a deal with a team in Greece and will play for the Nuggets as the backup for Nikola Jokic. It's the right thing to do and the Denver fans deserve his best effort, even if he just plays one season for the Nuggets. 45:24 .... This week it's Ross's turn to try and stump his partners with this week's "Card Challenge." Some of the players that Ross used to put Bruce and "World B" on the spot were Brandon Roy, Marcus Camby, Yao Ming, David Lee, Gary Payton, Andre Iguodala, Bruce Bowen, and Dwight Howard. 53:48 ... Ross wraps things up and says goodbye ... TRT 54:05

The Celtics are making moves, and the offseason shake-up is officially underway. In this episode, host Courtney Tate breaks down Boston's major trades — including Jrue Holiday's surprise one-for-one swap with Portland for Anfernee Simons, and Kristaps Porzingis being dealt to Atlanta in a multi-team move. What do these deals really mean for the Celtics' future, cap space, and frontcourt depth? Plus, Courtney recaps Boston's strong 2-0 start in Summer League action, highlighting standout performances from Hugo Gonzalez, Baylor Scheierman, Jalen Bridges, and Charles Bassey. Who's making a case for a real roster spot, and who still has something to prove? She also reacts to fan chatter around Jordan Walsh's “veteran” attitude, concern over Jayson Tatum's Achilles rehab, and yes — the viral Instagram post that has Celtics Nation speculating about Damian Lillard possibly landing in Boston. It's a packed episode filled with trade analysis, draft updates, fan reactions, and one bold hot take that might just change how you view the Celtics' offseason strategy.
In this episode of Off the Screen, Michael, Sid, and Alejandro dive into the whirlwind NBA offseason, covering the draft, major trades, and the growing consequences of the new CBA. They open with reactions to the draft's top pick, Cooper Flagg, and Ace Bailey's shocking reluctance to join Utah, questioning the long-term impact of such draft-day behavior. The trio breaks down how these decisions affect marketability, team dynamics, and future trades.They shift focus to the Celtics' surprising dismantling—trading away Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis, facing Al Horford's likely departure, and being hit hard by Tatum's injury. The hosts criticize the restrictive salary cap rules under the new CBA, especially the second apron, which is already reshaping how teams manage contracts, depth, and trades. They explain how the salary cap differs from other leagues, highlight the punishing financial structure for teams that exceed the cap, and lament the collapse of potential dynasties due to financial limitations.Major player movement includes Lonzo Ball to the Cavs, Myles Turner to the Bucks, and Norman Powell to the Heat. The Clippers' curse is also discussed—how many stars seem to decline after leaving. They debate Damian Lillard's future, the resurgence potential of Houston and OKC, and the uncertain fate of teams like the Knicks, Spurs, and Suns.As the East opens up and the West reloads, the group agrees this offseason could mark a generational shift in team power dynamics. With the Celtics and Bucks reeling and younger squads rising, fans are in for a season full of unpredictability and new narratives.
Jones and Keefe tier the Home Run Derby winners since 2000. The Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday trades were made official, where do the Celtics go from here? Brad Stevens says it is unlikely that Al Horford returns to the Cs.
Fitzy, Ted, and Dan react to Brad Stevens discussing the Kristaps Porzingis and Jrue Holiday trades. Stevens also said Al Horford is unlikely to return to the Cs, but he is excited to see Jaylen Brown and the rest of the roster with a chip on their shoulder. Without Horford and Kornet, the Celtics could have a dire situation at Center.
It's time for our leap candidacy draft. Which Celtics players are most likely to take a leap this season? Payton Pritchard with a potential starting role? Jordan Walsh finally putting it together in year three? Could Hugo Gonzalez hit the ground and immediately leap off it? With a "reset" year looming in Boston, that's lots of spicy developmental possibilities. Plus, the Jrue Holiday and Kristaps Porzingis trades are now official, but not without some last-minute amendments, and Jayson Tatum is exhibiting some of the most impressive pool-walking ever seen.
