Podcast appearances and mentions of luka doncic

Anthony and Kirk agree about the most important position teams must prioritize when building around Luka Doncic. They also discuss the Mavericks and whether they've moved on to the point where they can trade with the Lakers again. (please bring us back Max, please)

Anthony and Kirk take a look back at the season Luka Doncic had and the bummer of an ending to it. Kirk lobbies for handling Doncic's minutes better, but does grant that doing so is kind of tricky because of the impact he makes while he's on the court.

Anthony welcomes Kirk Henderson (Pod Maverick) into The Lounge to discuss the season he watched Luka Doncic have from afar. The guys talk about Doncic's production, the way he's talked about by various media types, the MVP race and ways Doncic could still get better. They also discuss the Maverick's interesting offseason ahead and whether a certain former Laker could ever make a return.

The Dallas Mavericks and Dallas Wings are entering exciting new chapters, and basketball analyst Lauren Gunn joins the Hoopsology Podcast to break it all down. In this episode, we dive deep into the Mavericks' dramatic transition following the Luka Doncic era and discuss why Cooper Flagg has quickly become the centerpiece of Dallas' future. Lauren shares her thoughts on the Mavericks' coaching search, the arrival of Masai Ujiri, potential roster moves involving Klay Thompson, PJ Washington, and Daniel Gafford, and why Dallas fans finally have reason for optimism. We also explore the lasting impact of the Luka Doncic trade and why his connection with Mavericks fans remains one of the most unique relationships in NBA history. Could Luka eventually return to Dallas? What does the future hold for Cooper Flagg? Lauren gives her expert perspective on one of the most fascinating storylines in basketball. On the WNBA side, we discuss the Dallas Wings' impressive start to the season under new head coach Jose Fernandez. Lauren explains how Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd, Arike Ogunbowale, Jessica Shepard, and the revamped Wings roster are creating excitement across the league. We also examine the team's future, facility upgrades, player development, and what makes this Wings squad a potential contender moving forward. If you're a fan of the NBA, WNBA, Dallas Mavericks, Dallas Wings, Cooper Flagg, Paige Bueckers, Luka Doncic, or offseason basketball analysis, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

0:00 ... The All-NBA Teams were announced over the weekend and the crew does a lightning round commenting on all the members of the first team.  Cade Cunningham, SGA, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, and Luka Doncic make up the first team.  Bruce has a big issue with one of the first teamers. 5:21 ... The All NBA Second team consists of Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard.  The guys wondered if aging Kawhi Leonard can have another All-NBA season at age 34 after this season's great performance. 12:44 ... The All-NBA third team consists of Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Duren.  Duren making the third team could really affect his contract negotiations with the Pistons due to the 3rd Team honor making him eligible for a Super Max contract worth $48 million more than he would have qualified for had he not been honored as an All-NBA performer.

The guys start the show off reacting to last night's Western Conference Finals Game 5, where Sedano was up-close and personal for the ESPN Radio broadcast. They talked about Wemby's leadership and how the TV camera caught him huddling up with his teammates and made a passionate plea to fight! Producer Lindsey asks if Luka has ever been that type of player? Dodgers talk! Berg's 3 things: Mookie took those Berg comments personal! Andy Pages in the 2 spot, and Kike is back - but not for long, as he's injured again. Is it completely totally insane to even consider the idea of trading Luka Doncic?

0:00 ... Ross Geiger says hello and introduces co-hosts Bruce Bernstein and Michael "World B" Freer.  Show #250 is dedicated to Trey Jemison of the Knicks, who wears #50 for the newly crowned NBA Eastern Conference Champs. 1:07 ... Knicks fan World B shares his thoughts on his team making the Finals after a 26 season drought. 2:10 ... World B had predicted the Knicks to make the Finals in his preseason picks and his aim was true! 3:39 ... Ross tees up a discussion on how the Knicks have grown so much as a team. 4:24 ... Bruce is happiest for Knicks head coach Mike Brown who has led the team to record breaking performances in the playoffs.  And they didn't really want to hire him to replace Tom Thibodeau prior to the season but all the other coaches they wanted to interview were not given permission from their teams to speak to New York about the job.   So Brown was hired by default and it was a move that has succeeded wildly. 6:16 ... World B gives Brown credit for retooling the Knicks' offensive system and he reels off the numbers that prove it. 8:47 ... Ross wonders whether the Knicks upcoming layoff (as they wait for their Finals opponent) will kill their great momentum?  Both Bruce and World B feel like the Knicks are sitting pretty.  Ross is concerned how they'll handle any offensive dry spells against the Spurs and Thunder. 13:49 ... If the Spurs beat OKC and play New York in the Finals, Bruce feels like the Knicks will use Karl Anthony-Towns to draw Victor Wembanyama away from the hoop on defense which could allow New York to operate successfully closer to the hoop. 14:48 ... Bruce marvels at how Wemby guards the entire opposing team and how God must be a Spurs fan with Wemby succeeding Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the latest generational big man in San Antonio. 16:37 ... World B reacts to the Spurs big win in game 4 with Wemby leading the way once again. 18:09 ... Bruce points out how Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has struggled offensively against the Spurs and with two key teammates like Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell battling health issues, the Spurs will continue to "throw the kitchen sink" at SGA if they miss more action.  The result will be to wear SGA down and that will mean big trouble for OKC.  Ross adds some perspective to the OKC offensive struggles. 20:11 ... World B explains how the return of De'Aaron Fox has been really important as far as the offense running smoothly.  Ross feels like game 5 is a "must win" game for the Thunder. 22:40 ... Bruce points out that all the NBA awards have been announced except for Coach of the Year and he hopes his preseason prediction of Mitch Johnson winning the award might come true with a trophy presentation prior to game 6 in San Antonio. 24:09 ... The All-NBA Teams were announced over the weekend and the crew does a lightning round commenting on all the members of the first team.  Cade Cunningham, SGA, Nikola Jokic, Wemby, and Luka Doncic make up the first team.  Bruce has a big issue with one of the first teamers. 29:31 ... The All NBA Second team consists of Jaylen Brown, Jalen Brunson, Donovan Mitchell, Kevin Durant, and Kawhi Leonard.  The guys wondered if aging Kawhi Leonard can have another All-NBA season at age 34 after this season's great performance. 36:53 ... The All-NBA third team consists of Tyrese Maxey, Jalen Johnson, Jamal Murray, Chet Holmgren, and Jalen Duren.  Duren making the third team could really affect his contract negotiations with the Pistons due to the honor making him eligible for a Super Max contract worth $48 million more than he would have qualified for had he not been honored as an All-NBA performer. 45:16 ... We examine the All Defensive teams for the season.  The first teamers are Wemby, Holmgren, Ausar Thompson, Derrick White, and Rudy Gobert.  Bruce has a summer assigmnent for Thompson. 49:29 ... The second teamers are Scottie Barnes, Cason Wallace, Bam Adebayo, OG Anunoby, and Dyson Daniels. 52:39 ... Final Thoughts: Bruce on how Wemby's main "superpower" cannot be measured by analytics.  World B on how the Orlando Magic's search for a new coach is still wide open with many potential great candidates in the mix.  Ross closes with his thoughts on two former NBA players facing off in an MMA match in Las Vegas over the weekend. 56:56 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye. TRT 57:13           Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Rob and Kelvin use Lane Kiffin’s recent comments as a backdrop to tell us why they wouldn’t accept a scholarship to play college ball at Ole Miss, and tell us why Luka Doncic is fundamentally against trading Austin Reaves for Giannis Antetokounmpo.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shannon Sharpe, Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson, and Joe Johnson react to Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs taking the series lead against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2025 NBA Playoffs and to reports of Luka Doncic having no interest in sharing the floor with Giannis Antetokounmpo in Los Angeles. Shannon puts the full weight of expectation squarely on Luka's shoulders — if you are going to turn down a generational talent like Giannis and prioritize paying Austin Reaves instead, then you better bring a championship to Los Angeles because there will be no excuses.

Jason defends LeBron James being mocked on social media for stating the obvious. James played well in the Game 1 loss against Oklahoma City and spoke logically after the game, stating that the offense was lacking because Luka Doncic was sidelined. Jay Skapinac joins Jason to discuss LeBron and James Harden's turnovers handicapping the Cleveland Cavaliers in a Game 1 loss to Detroit. Why do teams continually trade for him during championship pursuits? Steve Kim and Jason breakdown why college football coaches favor a 24-team playoff system. Kim, Dre Baldwin, and Shemeka Michelle ponder why Stefon Diggs had to defend himself against ludicrous charges. Lastly, Maurice Drake Jr. from Keep the Vision talks WNBA and a controversial WNBA GM poll that throws shade at Caitlin Clark. ​​Today's Sponsors: Patriot Mobile Patriot Mobile isn't just a wireless provider.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Tuesday, May 5, 2026 brings two brand-new second-round NBA playoff series to the floor, and Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are locked in with every angle you need before tip-off on this edition of Cash That Ticket, airing on the Straight Outta Vegas AM feed. The guys open by recapping Monday night's conference semifinal openers, starting with Jalen Brunson's dominant 35-point performance in New York, where the Knicks blew out the Philadelphia 76ers 137-98 with Brunson dropping 27 in the first half alone. Tyrese Maxey finished with just 13 points and had limited shot attempts in a game that was over well before the final buzzer. In the late game, Victor Wembanyama put together one of the most statistically remarkable individual performances in playoff history, blocking 12 shots to set a new NBA single-game postseason record, while adding 11 points and 15 rebounds for a triple-double, yet San Antonio still fell 104-102 to Minnesota as Julian Champagnie's buzzer three drifted wide. Anthony Edwards played 25 minutes off the bench in his return from injury, scoring 18 points including 11 in the fourth quarter to seal the Timberwolves win. From there, Munaf and Dave dive into tonight's action starting in the East, where the Cleveland Cavaliers travel to Detroit to face a Pistons team riding momentum from three straight comeback wins. The line has moved significantly from four down to as low as two and a half, with heavy Cavaliers money driving it, and Dave is landing on the Pistons money line while Munaf leans the Pistons on the spread if you can still find the two and a half. Both hosts flag the tired-legs factor heavily, as each club played a Game 7 with just one day of rest. In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder are a massive 15.5-point home favorite over a Lakers squad still without Luka Doncic. Munaf points to the regular-season data showing Oklahoma City outscored Los Angeles in all four meetings, with the Lakers reaching just 96 or fewer points in three of those games. Dave takes the Lakers team total under and the game total under, while Munaf plants his flag on the Thunder team total over and says he wouldn't hesitate to lay the spread. LeBron James averaged 38.7 minutes per game in the Houston series without Luka available, and both hosts see that fatigue as a meaningful factor heading into Game 1. The guys also break down a deep MLB Tuesday card covering the Reds-Cubs matchup, Cade Cavalli's recent hot streak, the Dodgers-Astros series with Shohei Ohtani on the mound, Peter Lambert's track record against Los Angeles, line movement on Framber Valdez in Boston, and a full run through the rest of the slate. Dave's best bet is Cade Cavalli over 4.5 strikeouts against a Minnesota Twins lineup that piles up strikeouts, backed by back-to-back 10-strikeout outings in his two most recent starts. Munaf's best bet is the Lakers team total under 98.5, betting directly on the Thunder defense to suffocate a Los Angeles offense that has no clear scoring solution with Luka sidelined. Dave closes with a practical word on live betting, encouraging listeners to build a pre-game trigger plan for tonight's Cavs-Pistons matchup in particular, where early line movement could create real value on Cleveland if Detroit jumps out fast.
