LeBron is out for at least a couple of weeks, and the Lakers are right on the Blazers' tail.

Then, the guys preview the trade deadline for the Detroit Pistons - predicting what will happen to the likes of Bojan Bogdanovic, Saddiq Bey, Alec Burks, and Nerlens Noel.

Alex is joined by Ben Landsee to discuss the origins and meaning of the phrase, "trust the process". Ben talks about Sam Hinke's unique approach he brought to the Philadelphia 76ers in 2013 (9:52), and the analytical pioneers who influenced him. Ben outlines the benefits and limitations of Hinkie's process (18:37), and how it affected the career trajectories of many highly touted draft picks (e.g. Jrue Holiday, Nerlens Noel, Michael Carter-Williams, Markelle Fultz, Ben Simmons, and superstar Joel Embiid). The guys discuss Hinkie's positive influence on the broader sports landscape including Sam Presti's version of the process in Oklahoma City (29:12). Ben criticizes 76ers' management for trading away an antidote to the poisonous effects of the process (23:48), and Alex finshes the show by giving shoutouts to the valued TSPeeps before he and Ben play Start-Bench Cut focused on the most infuriating athletes (45:20).This episode is brought to you by The Scotian Braider.Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100087254292578&mibextid=LQQJ4dInstagram: https://instagram.com/thescotianbraider?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thescotianbraider?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=

NBA – National Basketball Association Last Night Detroit Pistons 135, Minnesota Timberwolves 118 Washington Wizards 100, Chicago Bulls 97 New York Knicks 119, Indiana Pacers 113 Pistons 135, T-Wolves 118 – Bey, Bogdanovic lead shorthanded Pistons past Timberwolves Saddiq Bey scored 31 points and the Detroit Pistons rallied to beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 135-118. Bojan Bogdanovic added 27 points for the shorthanded Pistons, who were down 10-0 in the first three minutes. Four other players had at least 13 points. Anthony Edwards scored 20 for Minnesota, which had won four straight since a 116-104 loss to Detroit on New Year’s Eve. D’Angelo Russell added 19 and Rudy Gobert had 16 points and 14 rebounds.  The Pistons were without three rotation post players: Marvin Bagley III (hand), Jalen Duran (ankle) and Isaiah Stewart (shoulder). That left Nerlens Noel, who had played in only nine of Detroit’s first 45 games, as the starting center against Gobert. Wizards 100, Bulls 97 – Kuzma hits late 3-pointer to lift Wizards past Bulls, 100-97 Kyle Kuzma broke a tie with a 3-pointer with 5.7 seconds left and the Washington Wizards beat the Chicago Bulls 100-97 on Wednesday night. Following a timeout, Kuzma drove to his right and hit a leaning shot as he floated toward the Wizards’ bench. Zach LaVine missed a 16-footer for Chicago with 2.3 seconds left, with Deni Avdija grabbing the last of his career-high 20 rebounds for Washington. Earlier, LaVine beat the shot clock to tie it at 97. Kuzma finished with 21 points. Backup forward Anthony Gill scored a career-high 18 points, and Monte Morris added 17 for Washington.8 points for Chicago. Bulls scoring leader DeMar DeRozan missed his first game of the season because of quadriceps strain. Knicks 119, Pacers 113 – Brunson, Barrett help Knicks hold off Pacers, 119-113 Jaylen Brunson scored 34 points to help the New York Knicks beat the Indiana Pacers 119-113 on Wednesday night. RJ Barrett added 27 points in his return from a finger injury that sidelined him six games, and Julius Randle had 14 points and 16 rebounds. Buddy Hield led Indiana with 31 points. After New York led by 25 points in the third quarter, Hield cut it to 105-103 with a 3-pointer with 3:10 left. Brunson countered for the Knicks, scoring the next seven points of the game. Hield’s four-point play with 1:22 remaining pulled the Pacers to 112-109. He had a chance to tie it on Indiana’s next possession, but his 3-pointer was off the mark.

There had been talk before the event that fellow forward Adam Fantillimight be closing the gap on the 17-year-old standout many expect to be the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft this summer. Bedard instead showed just how wide the gulf is between himself and his contemporaries. Entering Wednesday’s games, the worst team in the league was Chicago, followed closely by Columbus and Anaheim. NFL – Going home: Bills’ Hamlin released from Buffalo hospital Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been released from a hospital in Buffalo nine days after he went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated during a game at Cincinnati. Hamlin went home home after spending two days undergoing tests at Buffalo General Medical Center. He was transferred to Buffalo after spending last week at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where the 24-year-old experienced what doctors called “a remarkable recovery.” Neither doctors nor the Bills disclosed the results of the tests Hamlin had. Doctors said he will continue his rehabilitation with the Bills. MLB – Tigers change Comerica Park’s dimensions, encourage offense The home of the Detroit Tigers is set to become a little more hitter friendly. The outfield dimensions at Comerica Park are changing, with the center field wall being moved in 10 feet to 412 feet from home plate. The Tigers announced the changes on Wednesday. In addition, the outfield wall has been lowered in center field from 8 1/2 feet to 7 feet, in right-center field from 13 feet to 7 feet and in right field from 8 1/2 feet to 7 feet. The Tigers say the goal is to “reward hitter outcomes on balls hit to the deepest parts of the park” and also “maintain the high number of extra-base hits on balls in play to the gaps, resulting in action on the basepaths.” The Tigers also said they hope the lowered outfield wall will encourage “more electric defensive plays such as home run robberies.”  The Tigers hit just 110 homers last season, which ranked last in the big leagues. Though the actual distance hasn’t changed, the left field corner will be labeled 342 feet instead of 345 after laser measurements were taken.  Comerica Park will still have the second deepest center field wall in baseball behind Colorado’s Coors Field at 415. The league average is 402. MLB – Smyly could earn up to $41.5M over 3 years in Cubs contract Left-hander Drew Smyly could earn up to $41.5 million over three years from his contract with the Chicago Cubs if he pitches 150 innings annually, and catcher Tucker Barnhart could raise earnings to $9.5 million under his two-year contract if he becomes a regular starter. Smyly is guaranteed $19 million as part of a two-year contract announced Dec. 24 that calls for salaries of $8 million this year and $8.5 million in 2023. The deal includes a $10 million mutual option for 2025 with a $2.5 million buyout. Tennis – Naomi Osaka says she’s pregnant, plans tennis return in 2024 Naomi Osaka is pregnant and plans to return to competition in 2024. The former world No. 1 posted what she called a “little life update” Wednesday on social media, including a picture of an ultrasound. The 25-year-old Osaka has been dating Cordae, a rapper, for years. She wrote that she has so much to look forward to in the future. Osaka added that "one thing I’m looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that’s my mom.’” She hasn’t played a competitive match since September and withdrew from the Australian Open, which begins Sunday. USA Soccer – US women’s soccer tries to overcome past lack of diversity Women’s soccer in the United States is trying to improve its diversity. The effort starts with the sport’s pay-to-play model, which can exclude talented kids from communities of color. Even U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone has lamented that soccer is seen as a “rich, white kids’ sport.” U.S. national team defender Crystal Dunn has seen the national team become steadily more representative, but she says there’s still work that needs to be done. That starts with making sure young women of color feel welcome all the way down to the youth level.

There had been talk before the event that fellow forward Adam Fantillimight be closing the gap on the 17-year-old standout many expect to be the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft this summer. Bedard instead showed just how wide the gulf is between himself and his contemporaries. Entering Wednesday's games, the worst team in the league was Chicago, followed closely by Columbus and Anaheim. NFL – Going home: Bills’ Hamlin released from Buffalo hospital Bills safety Damar Hamlin has been released from a hospital in Buffalo nine days after he went into cardiac arrest and had to be resuscitated during a game at Cincinnati. Hamlin went home home after spending two days undergoing tests at Buffalo General Medical Center. He was transferred to Buffalo after spending last week at the University of Cincinnati Medical Center, where the 24-year-old experienced what doctors called “a remarkable recovery.” Neither doctors nor the Bills disclosed the results of the tests Hamlin had. Doctors said he will continue his rehabilitation with the Bills. MLB – Tigers change Comerica Park’s dimensions, encourage offense The home of the Detroit Tigers is set to become a little more hitter friendly. The outfield dimensions at Comerica Park are changing, with the center field wall being moved in 10 feet to 412 feet from home plate. The Tigers announced the changes on Wednesday. In addition, the outfield wall has been lowered in center field from 8 1/2 feet to 7 feet, in right-center field from 13 feet to 7 feet and in right field from 8 1/2 feet to 7 feet. The Tigers say the goal is to “reward hitter outcomes on balls hit to the deepest parts of the park” and also “maintain the high number of extra-base hits on balls in play to the gaps, resulting in action on the basepaths.” The Tigers also said they hope the lowered outfield wall will encourage “more electric defensive plays such as home run robberies.”  The Tigers hit just 110 homers last season, which ranked last in the big leagues. Though the actual distance hasn’t changed, the left field corner will be labeled 342 feet instead of 345 after laser measurements were taken.  Comerica Park will still have the second deepest center field wall in baseball behind Colorado’s Coors Field at 415. The league average is 402. MLB – Smyly could earn up to $41.5M over 3 years in Cubs contract Left-hander Drew Smyly could earn up to $41.5 million over three years from his contract with the Chicago Cubs if he pitches 150 innings annually, and catcher Tucker Barnhart could raise earnings to $9.5 million under his two-year contract if he becomes a regular starter. Smyly is guaranteed $19 million as part of a two-year contract announced Dec. 24 that calls for salaries of $8 million this year and $8.5 million in 2023. The deal includes a $10 million mutual option for 2025 with a $2.5 million buyout. Tennis – Naomi Osaka says she’s pregnant, plans tennis return in 2024 Naomi Osaka is pregnant and plans to return to competition in 2024. The former world No. 1 posted what she called a “little life update” Wednesday on social media, including a picture of an ultrasound. The 25-year-old Osaka has been dating Cordae, a rapper, for years. She wrote that she has so much to look forward to in the future. Osaka added that “one thing I'm looking forward to is for my kid to watch one of my matches and tell someone, ‘that's my mom.'” She hasn't played a competitive match since September and withdrew from the Australian Open, which begins Sunday. USA Soccer – US women’s soccer tries to overcome past lack of diversity Women's soccer in the United States is trying to improve its diversity. The effort starts with the sport’s pay-to-play model, which can exclude talented kids from communities of color. Even U.S. Soccer President Cindy Parlow Cone has lamented that soccer is seen as a “rich, white kids' sport.” U.S. national team defender Crystal Dunn has seen the national team become steadily more representative, but she says there's still work that needs to be done. That starts with making sure young women of color feel welcome all the way down to the youth level.

Michigan State made its last eight field-goal attempts and went 16 of 17 from the foul line to win a nip-and-tuck game that featured 14 lead changes.  It was a rare narrow loss for the Badgers, who are 18-6 over the last two seasons in games decided by five points or fewer.

Poles left it slightly ajar Tuesday by saying he would have to be “blown away” to take a passer. Quarterbacks such as Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis are among the top prospects available in the draft. Fields emerged as one of the NFL's most exciting players in his second season. But he was drafted by former general manager Ryan Pace. The Bears finished 3-14 in one of the worst seasons in franchise history. NFL – Ballard will be patient in finding right coach for Colts Indianapolis Colts coach Chris Ballard says he will be patient in conducting the team’s coaching search.

The Giving Back Fund is a nonprofit that helps athletes and celebrities manage their charitable giving. They will host the “The Chasing M's Foundation” Charitable Fund.

Hamlin’s marketing representative, Jordon Rooney, said he and his family are humbled by the “tremendous support” and will communicate with donors over time. MLB – AP source: Correa spurns Mets, reaches $200M deal with Twins A person familiar with the negotiations says Carlos Correa has agreed to a $200 million, six-year contract that keeps him with the Minnesota Twins after failing to complete deals with the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants. The deal for the All-Star shortstop is subject to a successful physical. Correa agreed Dec. 13 to a $350 million, 13-year contract with the Giants, who called off a news conference a week later over concerns with a right ankle injury. Correa agreed that night to a $315 million, 12-year deal with the Mets, who also had concerns about the ankle. The agreement with the Twins could be worth $270 million over 10 seasons if Correa remains healthy.
