Hawks — 3:36Should the Hawks trade Trae Young plus two juicy Bucks/Pels picks for Giannis, and how would that look from both teams' perspectives?If the Hawks keep Trae, re-sign him reasonably, and just add this incoming Pelicans pick, can that path ever realistically lead to a championship?Do you buy Onyeka Okongwu's three-point shooting, and if you do, is he a top-15 center in the league?Celtics — 13:20If you're the Celtics, how should you play out the rest of the season—go all out because there's no super-team in the East, or pull back at some point to protect health?How useful will their increased turnover forcing and more egalitarian offense be once Jayson Tatum returns, and which rotation guys could actually be part of a high-level playoff rotation?Is Jaylen Brown genuinely improved compared to prior years, or is it mostly that the mid-range is falling more; and if it's shot luck, how long would he have to sustain this for it to be “real”?Nets — 22:36Is Michael Porter more valuable to the Nets as an on-court player to get them back into the playoff mix, or as a trade asset?Can you do as deep a dive as possible on Noah Clowney's game and development?Were pundits too quick to call the Nets' draft a disaster given how much their rookies are now playing?Hornets — 31:06What has happened to LaMelo Ball—he was an All-Star before, so is this decline just injuries and lack of progression?What are some potential trades for Miles Bridges, Ball, and Sexton?Do you sense a shift in the Hornets' organizational philosophy under the new regime?Bulls — 39:10John Hollinger has said the Suns turned down the Pelicans/Hawks pick deal; do you know if that exact deal (or better) was offered to other teams like the Bulls or Blazers, or is that just logical inference?Should the Bulls go all-in and trade for Anthony Davis, and what could they realistically get for Coby White if Artūras Karnišovas canvassed the league?The Bulls are trying to make up for their talent deficit by running on everything—does that strategy backfire (more injuries, better teams separating with more possessions), or is it actually their best path?Cavs — 50:20How concerned are you about the Cavs' bad start, and in particular about Darius Garland's play and health?What are your thoughts on Jaylon Tyson's development so far?Should Cleveland start trying to get out of the second apron, and what would it take to do that?Pistons — 58:06Good or bad, what has been the most surprising thing about the Eastern Conference so far this season?Besides Giannis and Lauri Markkanen, what other players would be a good fit for the Pistons and actually gettable?Would Sam Hauser be a good target for the Pistons given his price point and role, and how does he fit relative to what they already have (e.g. Duncan Robinson–type shooters)?

Utah Jazz forward Lauri Markkanen speaks with the media after the Utah Jazz's 123-110 win over the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center on December 4, 2025

Wes Goldberg (NBA Real GM Radio) joins Combo's Court to break down what's really going on with the Bucks, how bad the vibes actually are, and whether Giannis finishes the season in Milwaukee. We dive into the Knicks and Heat as potential landing spots, what a realistic trade would even look like, and how Giannis fits next to Jalen Brunson or Bam Adebayo. Wes explains why every contender would at least make the call — and why timing matters more than people think. We also touch on the league-wide scoring boom, the rise of OKC, and how a player like Lauri Markkanen could swing the entire trade market. Topics: • Giannis wipes Bucks content from IG — what it really means • Knicks vs Heat: Who's the better fit for Giannis right now? • Could Milwaukee actually move Giannis in-season? • Why NBA scoring is exploding league-wide • Skill level across every position in 2025 • OKC's rise and what could shake up the West • Lauri Markkanen as a league-shifting trade piece USE CODE COMBO ON PRIZEPICKS!

Big Red Bus – Episode 228: The Bigs Issue Episode Notes In this episode, See Red Fred and the Podfather tackle the growing debate in Bulls Nation surrounding the team's frontcourt defense and the misconceptions fueling it. Fred breaks down why some defenders keep drawing the toughest scoring assignments—Banchero, Lauri Markkanen, and other oversized, high-usage forwards—and why blaming Billy Donovan for those matchups completely misses the real issue. The truth is simple: Matas is not physically ready to guard NBA power forwards, and Giddey can't defend point guards or shooting guards, leaving others to absorb those brutal matchups. Fred details the specific physical challenges Matas faces right now—getting bumped off spots, losing box-outs, and being displaced by contact—and explains why these are normal development hurdles for a young forward entering the league. He emphasizes that Matas' talent is real and his offensive flashes are legitimate, but a couple of highlight blocks don't erase the 20-plus possessions where strength becomes a glaring problem. The episode also explores why the Bulls struggle to close games with a Giddey–Vooch–Matas trio, outlining how their combined defensive limitations create a structural disadvantage that no coach can scheme around. Ultimately, Fred reframes the conversation: this is not a coaching-mistake problem. It's a roster-composition problem and a physical-development reality. Until the Bulls add more frontcourt physicality or Matas grows into his NBA body, Okoro will keep being the one tasked with holding the defensive line, even when the matchups look strange on paper.
