Podcast appearances and mentions of Shams Charania

Brad and Ryan continue The 12 Days of Centers with one of the most intriguing names to hit the rumor mill: Walker Kessler. Following yesterday's report from Shams Charania that the Pacers are expected to be aggressive in their search for a long-term center, Kessler's name has surfaced as a realistic target. We break down Kessler's profile as a legitimate rim-running lob threat, elite shot blocker (2.4 BPG for his career), and developing stretch-big, who showed promising three-point flashes before undergoing labrum surgery just five games into his fourth season. At only 24, his upside as a defensive anchor and efficient play-finisher is undeniable. But what would the price tag be? Is he worth a blue-chip asset—even someone like Bennedict Mathurin? And is Kessler actually the long-term fit next to Tyrese Haliburton that Indiana should invest in? We dig into all of it. Plus…Phillip Rivers. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

John Scott, eight-year NHL forward and host of Dropping the Gloves podcast, joins JD to discuss the NHL's Department of Player Safety having a hearing to debate a potential suspension for Bobby McMann, why he didn't panic about the Leafs during their slow start, Auston Matthews' impressive performance against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and the impact of getting scratched as a healthy player. JD later explains why Nick Robertson would benefit from a new home (25:00), before Producer Armen lays out Shams Charania's report indicating the Raptors interest in Anthony Davis (33:00). The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.  

According to Shams Charania, Giannis Antetokounmpo is contemplating his future. He reportedly informed the Bucks that he preferred the Knicks, and so both sides held negotiations over the summer. No deal materialized, and now he's stuck on a roster that has struggled without him and about .500 when he plays. It's going to be much more difficult for the Bucks to get sufficient value in a trade ahead of the February 5 deadline.In this episode, we play Who Says No? and lob trade proposals at each other for the Bucks to get for Giannis.0:00 Intro11:55 New York Knicks24:29 Atlanta Hawks32:15 Golden State Warriors40:20 Los Angeles Lakers51:38 Miami Heat58:00 Houston Rockets and the value of their draft picks1:07:16 Indiana Pacers1:13:00 Orlando Magic1:18:09 San Antonio Spurs You can follow Yossi on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/YossiGozlanBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/yossigozlan.bsky.socialSalary cap sheets: www.capsheets.comYou can follow Sam on:Twitter: https://twitter.com/SamQuinnCBSThird Apron is available on all podcast providers.

First, the Clippers cut Chris Paul's retirement tour short because he was bullying the collection of losers he was surrounded by. Anthony laughs at that situation, then explains why it's unlikely Paul will be a Laker. Then, a mere couple hours later, things escalated as Giannis Antetokounmpo's camp told Shams Charania of ESPN that they're getting ready to meet with Bucks leadership soon to discuss his future there. Anthony explains why this absolutely will impact the Lakers' decision-making this season. As if all that wasn't enough, we got a non-contact injury to Giannis that looked like that really bad one (but as of now appears not to be that one) and we got word that Luka is out tonight as the Lakers face the Toronto Raptors.

O mundo da NBA sacudiu com a notícia da dispensa de Chris Paul pelo Los Angeles Clippers na madrugada da última terça para quarta-feira, 3.Menos de um mês após o anúncio da aposentadoria ao final da atual temporada, o Clippers emitiu pronunciamento anunciando que o astro não faz mais parte do elenco.

NBA Insider Shams Charania Reveals Inside Scoop in Conversation with Malika Andrews by Jaggy Sports

Shams Charania reports Giannis would only leave Milwaukee for the Knicks—but neither side seems eager to strike a deal.

Reaching this very intense part of the year with football season in full swing now, baseball season slowly concluding, and basketball season on the horizon, there was a lot of hype surrounding the city of Houston rolling into the 2025-26 season. Looking back on each league's legal tampering period during the offseason and free agency, wasting no time on contract signings and extensions, Houston appeared to have a very promising future across all 3 leagues in the years to come. However, taking a drastic turn recently as the Astros' playoff hopes slowly slip, the Texans' 0-3 start, and Shams Charania breaking the news that Rockets' Guard Fred VanVleet endured a torn ACL yesterday and may miss the season's entirety, things do not look as promising as they once did for Houston. Regressing a bit, Dan, Chris, & Ari share how they feel about Houston's current teams and their current positions, and which of the 3 could turn their season around before it becomes too late.
