Podcasts about Phoenix Suns

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)?

This episode opens with pure chaos: a toilet-water cold open, Maxx accidentally handing out sink water, and Russell getting surprised with a massive 60-pack of wooden hangers. The group slides right into their usual rhythm — roasting each other, questioning life choices, and joking about personal style shifts like cowboy hats and Spotify Wrapped embarrassment. From there, they jump into AI music, Drake theories, and the surprising quality of AI-generated songs, even attempting to generate a country track about the podcast on the spot. The middle of the episode takes a sharp turn into heavier territory: Diddy allegations, Tupac and Biggie conspiracy questions, and a surprisingly detailed breakdown of crime, bullet tracing, shoot/don't-shoot scenarios, and the Oscar Pistorius case. That flows into a long, surprisingly thoughtful conversation about money. OBJ's comments about a $100M contract "not being enough" spark discussions on taxes, lifestyle inflation, athlete culture, and the pressures young stars face. Maxx shares a wild story about someone blowing through $20M and ending up with only $25K, leading into a bigger conversation about race, culture, and why certain communities feel more pressure to flaunt or financially support extended family. The episode wraps with lighter sports energy: Maxx's first "real" NBA game experience, the Rockets beating the Suns, Kevin Durant hitting free-Chick-fil-A threes, and thoughts on why NBA arenas feel different now. They finish with Harlem Globetrotter myths, half-court shooters, and the realities of elite athleticism — including Joe's legendary story of getting dunked on by Justise Winslow and taking a freshman's nuts straight to the face. A classic Don't Be Sour episode: unfiltered, chaotic, and weirdly insightful.
