We're a week out from the post season and Ryan Kaminski of Swish Theory joins the show to talk about a recently reemerging Orlando Magic team. In the wake of the Taylor Jenkins firing in Memphis we talk about how the two teams share similar traits and how the Magic can avoid finding themselves at a corssorads next season. Do big trades need to be made? Is internal development the key? Or are Orlando good enough already to make real noise in the Playoffs this year?

Rob chats with NetsDaily writer and Swish Theory contributor Lucas Kaplan about Ben Simmons - who he is as a player, his fit on the Clippers, and how much he can contribute in the year 2025.

Just when you think the NBA can't get any whackier, it proceeds to do just that. Rob Pelinka and the Lakers sent Anthony Davis to Dallas in exchange for one of the best five players in the world in Luka Doncic. The trade might go down as the most expected and bind-blowing in the entire history of the NBA. During this podcast, we team up with Swish Theory, The Center Hub, and The Lead podcaster Corban Ford to organize some thoughts on the trade itself and the reproductions of all of the moving pieces.We give you a complete overview of the current situation of both Los Angeles and Dallas from multiple perspectives, including financially, and on the court.
