With the NBA trade deadline just hours away, the league is holding its breath after a revealing quote from Giannis Antetokounmpo: “I want to be here, but I want to win.” Evan and Tiki react to what that really signals about Giannis' future in Milwaukee and whether the Knicks were ever truly in the mix. The guys are joined by Ian Begley to break down why Giannis may ultimately stay put, how his situation slowed the entire trade market, and what realistic moves the New York Knicks could still make before the buzzer. They also examine how recent moves by Cleveland and Boston reshape the Eastern Conference, why asset limitations matter for New York, and whether the real Giannis sweepstakes are more likely to spill into the offseason. It is a deadline-eve deep dive into superstar leverage, front office patience, and what Knicks fans should actually be rooting for when the clock hits 3:00 PM.

Trade deadline eve gets spicy fast after a new report out of The Athletic delivers the money quote from Giannis: “I want to be here, but I want to win.” Evan and Tiki translate what that really means for Milwaukee, why the Giannis uncertainty froze the market, and why so many teams made their moves early. Then Ian Begley joins the show to lay out the hard truth for Knicks fans: New York is on the outside looking in on Giannis right now, not because they “love their roster,” but because they simply do not have the assets to win that bidding war. Begley explains what the Knicks could still do before 3:00 PM, including potential targets like Jose Alvarado and a backup big, plus how Deuce McBride's status factors in. Finally, the conversation widens to the East shifting under everyone's feet, from Cleveland's aggressive swing to Boston's moves, and why the real Giannis sweepstakes might be headed for the offseason.

After all of the rumors, will Giannis be staying put in Milwaukee at the deadline? Plus, reaction to both the Giants and Jets making OC hires. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

It's trade deadline mania for the Big Number! Tom Haberstroh and Dan Devine recap the out-of-nowhere James Harden-Darius Garland swap between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Cleveland Cavaliers and discuss the implications for both teams, as well as an impatient Donovan Mitchell. First, Tom live reacts to the biggest trade deadline shock yet: Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards? What were the motivations behind this trade? Winners and losers? Is this all that Luka Doncic was ultimately worth? Later, the pair make the rounds for the rest of the big headlines before deadline day: Jaren Jackson Jr. to the Utah Jazz, and the de facto love letter Giannis Antetokounmpo delivered to the city of Milwaukee via local media. Plus, why are the Jazz making a win-now move with all the incentives in the world to tank? Is Giannis Antetokounmpo really going to be moved? Will James Harden have a shot at a championship with his fourth team in six years?

In hour four, Hoch and Crowder discuss if they're patient enough to properly trim a Bonsai tree at Funky Buddha. Hoch reads the lines, injury report, and prop bets for Heat vs Hawks, also for the Bulls, who play in Milwaukee vs the Bucks. Plus, Hoch briefly forgets who the Marlins manager is and thought Skip Schumaker was still the manager of the team.

The Panthers continue to struggle as injuries pile up, forcing a wave of new faces into the lineup and highlighting how hard sustained success is after three straight Finals runs and back-to-back championships. The conversation pivots to the Heat and the growing Giannis trade buzz. Joe and Hollywood agree Miami should throw everything at Milwaukee to make it happen, arguing the East is wide open if you land a true superstar. They also discuss Nikola Jović's frustrating inconsistency, flashing star potential but failing to put it together night to night.

Pinch My Salt Podcast is back with a heater: we're joined by crowd work wizard and comedian Ian Bagg for a wild, hilarious conversation that somehow covers stand-up comedy, crowd work, surfing, church video life, marriage advice, gym chaos, and the weird overlap between comedians and surfers.If you love comedy podcasts, surf culture, and the kind of episodes where you genuinely don't know what's coming next—this one's for you. Ian breaks down what crowd work actually is, why some comics hate it, how social media changed comedy, and why staying true to yourself matters more than “playing the gatekeeper game.” We also get into real talk about grief, keeping life moving after loss, and finding your way back to joy—then immediately ruin it with more dumb jokes (as we should).

Episode 187 starts in one place and ends up everywhere. Big ideas, sharp detours, and the kind of conversations that only happen when nobody is sticking to a rundown. If you like episodes where you don't quite know where the next turn is coming from, this one lives in that lane. There's a lot of side-eye at the state of media right now. What we pay for it, what we actually use, and why some things still feel non-negotiable no matter how many streaming apps exist. It turns into a broader conversation about habits you can't quite shake, even when technology says you should. Money comes up, but not in the obvious way. Less "hot takes," more real-world perspective. Value, scarcity, and why certain things suddenly feel heavier than they did just a few years ago. It's not a lecture, but it's not nothing either. Wrestling threads weave in and out without ever taking over. Careers, longevity, expectations, and how fans talk about performers versus what those performers actually give up. It's reflective without being sentimental, and blunt without trying to be edgy. And because it's this show, it doesn't end without drifting into pop culture, nostalgia, and a few questions that absolutely did not need definitive answers but got debated anyway. Episode 187 is loose, opinionated, and very on brand.

Devin Thomas O'Shea transports Travis to Milwaukee, 1932, where Thomas Pynchon's newest novel Shadow Ticket kicks off with speakeasy intrigue, Depression misery, and a precision-engineered car bomb. Devin unpacks Pynchon's characteristic hinge-of-history setting, when everyone's forced to pick sides, as the book's reluctant bruiser-turned-investigator Hicks McTaggart gets thrashed around by forces he can't (and won't) understand. Shadow Ticket's paranoia, occult object-mysticism, and explosive politics connect to the real history of American labor violence: the Haymarket bombing and riot, the Bay View massacre, and the 1932 Ford hunger march. What can the novel, probably Pynchon's last, teach us about our current strange moment in history?

Last year, a devastating and deadly fire in Milwaukee forced residents to confront a painful reality: The places where many people can afford to live are often the least safe. As the United States faces a shortage of millions of homes, new research shows that the path to safer, more affordable housing may lie in modern multifamily buildings that are constructed with fire-resistant materials like sprinkler systems and stronger building codes. In fact, the rate of fire death in modern apartments is one-sixth the rate of single-family houses and older apartment buildings. In this episode of "After the Fact," Pew housing expert Alex Horowitz explains how modern housing design can save lives, and why public misconceptions about density and safety can limit progress. We also travel to Milwaukee to learn from firefighters on the ground about why better policy and smarter construction can help shape safer homes for the future.

The Giannis trade chatter keeps building, and this segment hits it from every angle. It starts with Robin Lopez saying Giannis “fits” best with the Miami Heat, which immediately sets off the pushback. Do the Heat really want it more, or is that just Pat Riley mythology? From there, Evan and Tiki reveal they made Giannis trade predictions months ago and decide to keep them sealed until a deal actually happens. Calls pour in and quickly turn the conversation to the Knicks' real problem: if you're trading for Giannis, what exactly is “the core” you're trying to protect? Jalen Brunson is the obvious untouchable, but everything else gets debated, including Josh Hart's impact on the locker room and how many key pieces you realistically have to give up. Then it becomes the biggest question of all: can Giannis handle New York? The guys break down his famous “failure” press conference moment and argue that the explanation might play in Milwaukee, but it will not fly here. In New York, if you gut the roster for a superstar, the expectation becomes simple: win a championship, or it's a failure.

Toronto just did something that should scare the league: they're winning big without a single “ball-stopper,” and the vibes aren't a gimmick — they're the engine. On this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher breaks down why the Raptors' pregame “house party” bench routine and locker-room freedom aren't cute… they're culture, and culture becomes chemistry, and chemistry becomes wins.Ric contrasts that with Golden State's current reality: an oddly quiet locker room, outsized expectations, and the uncomfortable question nobody wants to ask out loud — what exactly are the Warriors supposed to be right now? If you've been wondering why some teams look like they enjoy basketball and others look like they're surviving it, this is the roadmap.Timestamps:00:00 “Cooking with gas” + show intro00:40 Ric's third book tease: The Value of Being Coachable01:45 Why this episode became “All Raptors” (and why that matters)02:17 The Raptors' bench mob: conga line energy, welcome-in vibes03:24 Locker-room leaders you wouldn't expect: Jamal Shead + Gradey Dick04:03 Why hierarchies can help… or suffocate a team05:12 Off-court chemistry → on-court chemistry (especially for young teams)06:31 Warriors locker-room contrast: quiet, pressure, veteran routines08:02 The Warriors' expectation problem: “one move away” thinking09:13 The Buddy Hield reality check (and what fans project onto role players)10:26 What the roster actually is: youth, second-rounders, undrafted grinders11:18 Raptors parallels to early Mark Jackson Warriors (joy + hunger)13:32 Raptors “secret sauce”: unselfishness + relentless help-and-recover defense14:34 Ric interviews Darko Rajaković: character, consistency, no favorites17:13 The “no hesitation” rule — why Toronto's ball movement is different19:54 The possession that explains everything (Ingram → Jamal Shead → Walter)22:21 Context: OKC injuries, January realities, why panic takes are lazy24:08 Ric's bigger point on greatness — and why highlight culture lies24:41 Ingram's evolution: proving he can win, not just score26:18 Scottie Barnes as “team janitor” (dirty work that closes games)28:23 Can this translate to playoffs?

Mike Gallagher and Drew Dinkmeyer discuss the latest new from around the NBA, specifically what options the Milwaukee Bucks have when it comes to trading Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has signalled his intent to leave the team, as well as what the recovery timeline looks like for when the Bucks could become a title contender again. 

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Thursday and much more. On Thursday, January 29, 2026, Munaf Manji and Dave Essler convened for another episode of Cash That Ticket on RJ Bell's Dream Preview, breaking down NBA matchups, reacting to major league news, and adding another layer to their ongoing Super Bowl prop discussion. The show opened with reflections on recent betting results, including strong NBA reads despite a narrow college basketball loss, before pivoting quickly to the headline news that dominated the day. A report emerged that Giannis Antetokounmpo could be headed for a new home at or after the February 5 NBA trade deadline, with Milwaukee listening to aggressive offers. Rather than a direct trade request, the framing suggested leverage-building by the Bucks, prompting a discussion about timing, asset maximization, and which contenders could realistically assemble a package centered on draft capital and young talent. Teams like New York, Miami, Houston, Oklahoma City, and Toronto were evaluated, with Houston standing out as a long-shot futures value due to its combination of veterans, young players, and draft assets, currently priced around 19 to 1 to win the NBA title. The conversation then shifted to the night's NBA slate, starting with Detroit at Phoenix. With Devin Booker sidelined, both hosts leaned into the defensive profiles and slow pace of the matchup, favoring the under and expressing interest in Phoenix as a home underdog. Jalen Duren's rebounding production against the Suns was highlighted, leading to a prop recommendation on his over 10.5 rebounds based on consistent head-to-head success and Detroit's interior scoring emphasis. The second game analyzed featured Oklahoma City visiting Minnesota in a divisional rematch. Despite market movement toward the Thunder, concerns about Minnesota's back-to-back fatigue, Oklahoma City injuries, and inflated road chalk drove both toward the under on a relatively low total of 224.5, with cautious disagreement on the side. Attention then turned to Super Bowl props for Patriots versus Seahawks. Dave Essler added Rhamondre Stevenson over 76.5 rushing and receiving yards, citing his late-season workload, rest advantage, and Seattle's vulnerability to running backs in the passing game. Munaf countered with Cooper Kupp over 32.5 receiving yards, pointing to modest usage thresholds, recent playoff production, and the likelihood that New England's defensive focus on Jaxon Smith-Njigba opens opportunities elsewhere. In best bets, Essler went off the board with a futures play on Michigan at 5 to 1 to win the NCAA men's basketball championship, grounding the pick in offensive and defensive efficiency trends. Munaf closed with his official play on Jalen Duren's rebounding prop, reinforcing confidence in the matchup. The episode wrapped with reminders about Pregame promotions and a promise to return with more NBA analysis and Super Bowl props as the week continued. Learn more about your ad choices.

Miami Hurricanes basketball coach Jai Lucas joins to break down the team's big win over Stanford, emphasizing a day-by-day approach, the importance of winning ACC home games, and the impact freshman Cameron Boozer is already making. The conversation shifts to the NBA as insider Brian Geltzeiler weighs in on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade buzz, explaining that Giannis has quietly been requesting a move from Milwaukee and that the Heat have a real shot at landing him. Geltzeiler also highlights trade concerns, Giannis' recent injury history, and why previous “trade-the-farm” moves haven't always worked, while briefly touching on Ja Morant's status. Joe and the crew also discuss Kel'el Ware's role on the Heat, Pilates surprises, and a few lighthearted moments with Jamie.

NBA insider Brian Geltzeiler joins to weigh in on the Giannis Antetokounmpo trade chatter, saying that Giannis has quietly been asking out of Milwaukee for over a year and could be moved before the deadline. He says the Miami Heat have a legitimate shot at landing him, highlighting their young talent as potential trade pieces, while also naming Atlanta, Detroit, and Toronto as possible destinations. Geltzeiler notes concerns about Giannis' health after consecutive playoff injuries and cautions that trading heavily for a superstar hasn't always worked out, citing Phoenix acquiring Kevin Durant and the Clippers trading for Paul George and Kawhi Leonard. He also touches on Ja Morant, but doesn't expect him to be traded before the deadline.
