Podcast appearances and mentions of Trae Young

Logan Murdock, Raja Bell, and Howard Mf'n Beck are back with another edition of Real Ones, this time examining the Ewing theory as it applies to three of the league's favorites. Ja Morant, Trae Young, and Paolo Banchero are all highly touted stars in the league and the cornerstones of their respective franchises, but with their teams performing better without them, are there destinations that could better fit their skill sets where they could contribute to team success? Orlando Magic guard Desmond Bane had another crash out against the Knicks when he unnecessarily threw the ball at Knicks forward OG Anunoby. The guys try to figure out the reasoning behind some of his outbursts. Plus, the return of the mailbag!

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)?

Semana 7 del Fantasy NBA y todavía hay ROBOS disponibles en más del 50% de las ligas… ¡increíble! En este episodio hablamos de esos jugadores que no deberían estar libres, especialmente ahora con las lesiones de Trae Young y Giannis.

Mike and Chris are joined by Steve Koonin as they discuss the Hawks season and how well they have played overall without Trae Young.

During the 4pm hour of today's show Chuck & Chernoff talked about the College Football Playoff and the rankings, Ja Morant, Trae Young, Giannis, Jalen Johnson, NBA trades, the Falcons staff being way too comfortable, Ryan Willams, Alabama Football, the SEC Championship and more before being joined by Chris Fallica from Fox who previewed Conference Championship Weekend.

In this episode of On The Ball, Ric Bucher delivers one of his most detailed breakdowns yet on the state of the Los Angeles Lakers, the viral moment that exposed LeBron James' disconnect, and why their chemistry is quietly fraying beneath the surface.Ric walks through the full context behind the clip of LeBron ignoring a play call, Luka Doncic's confusion, and JJ Redick's stunned timeout. He explains why LeBron's lack of energy, defensive effort, and off-ball engagement—despite sitting out the previous game—signal deeper structural issues for L.A.Then Ric breaks down the leaguewide blueprint emerging to stop the Lakers: force Luka to score while taking away his playmaking, a strategy that mirrors the Celtics' approach in the 2022 Finals and threatens to turn the Lakers' supporting cast into scapegoats.Ric also digs into the bombshell ESPN report that Ja Morant, LaMelo Ball, and Trae Young are all potentially available via trade—but that their value is so low they may only be tradable for each other. Ric explains why this marks a historic shift, which teams could realistically rehabilitate these stars, and why LaMelo may be the toughest sell of all.Additional topics include: • Why LeBron staying in games to protect scoring streaks hurts locker-room chemistry • The danger of star-centric offenses that don't produce wins • Why the broadcast's new “bench-level analysts” format causes awkward silences • How Luka's scoring-first nights may quietly divide the Lakers' roster • Which franchises actually have the infrastructure to revive Ja or TraeIf you want unfiltered NBA insight you won't hear on TV, you're in the right place.

In hour 1 Andy and Randy get in to a second straight loss by the Hawks, as injuries have them in depth trouble. The guys also preview the SEC Championship and Falcons game vs Seahawks.

Andy and Randy get in to the Hawks losing their 2nd straight game. Short-handed or not, they will not be great until Trae Young recovers from injury.

Mike and Steak get into some hoops talk as they share some thoughts on the Chris Paul/Clippers break up and agree the situation is strange in how it is playing out and throw out the ideal of whether or not the Hawks should consider the veteran point guard to serve as a serviceable backup for Trae Young.

Migros Hemen'in katkılarıyla hazırlanan Potacast'in yeni bölümünde Kaan Kural ve Orkun Çolakoğlu, geride bıraktığımız haftada Doğu Konferansı'nın öne çıkan takımlarını değerlendiriyor. Detroit Pistons'ın fiziksellik ve savunma merkezli kimliğiyle yakaladığı galibiyet serisi, Toronto Raptors'ın pas paylaşımı ve yükselen hücum temposu, Cleveland Cavaliers'ın sakatlıklarla bozulan ritmi ve Evan Mobley'nin inişli çıkışlı performansı ile Miami Heat'in kadroyu neredeyse değiştirmeden tempoyu ve hücum düzenini baştan aşağı yenilemesi mercek altına alınıyor. Atlanta Hawks'ın Trae Young yokluğunda bulduğu yeni kurgu, New York Knicks'in hücum–savunma dengesindeki bocalaması, Orlando Magic'in Bankero–Wagner ikilemi ve Milwaukee Bucks'ın Giannis etrafında kurulu ama derinliği tartışmalı kadrosu da bölümde öne çıkan başlıklar arasında. Hepsi ve daha fazlası bu bölümde!

In this episode, we break down why the NBA's max contract bubble is about to burst. The new CBA, second-apron penalties, shrinking roster flexibility and the rise of availability concerns are forcing teams to rethink who actually deserves max money. We get into why players like Trae Young, Zion Williamson, Ja Morant and Anthony Davis may no longer command the contracts they once did, and why the league is shifting toward a smaller group of true top-tier franchise cornerstones. We also cover the latest across the NBA: the Pelicans' long-term bet on Fears and Queen, what Derek Queen's emergence means for Zion, the Hawks' internal reset, Warriors and Clippers decline, Toronto's surge, Detroit's culture shift, OKC's dominance, and the league-wide injury wave that has coaches and players questioning the speed of the modern game. Coach Brendan Suhr gives front-office level insight on contract valuation, team-building economics, trade leverage, and how availability now dictates player worth more than ever. If you want to understand where the NBA is heading, this is the episode.

Let's play another edition of my annual game called Sample Size Roulette, where I answer whether or not the sample size is big enough to say that... the Hawks are better off without Trae Young (0:47), the Mavs should blow it up and trade AD (11:03), the Magic are closer to a play-in team than an East contender (21:45), the Rockets don't need to add a guard this year (29:48), the Pistons should be co-favorites in the East (40:57), the Thunder could break the 73-win record (51:01), the Clippers are not a playoff team (57:21), Joel Embiid is completely washed (1:05:11), the Suns are a playoff contender (1:13:40), and Wemby could win MVP this season (1:23:47).

Carl and Mike are joined by Steve Koonin as they discuss the latest on the Hawks

Jeremy Fowler: Falcons were expected to show 'progress' this season. Why Mike prefers turkey over ham for Thanksgiving. Steve Koonin: 'The vibe is outstanding' for Hawks despite not Trae Young.

Andy and Randy talk about the Hawks winning streak coming to an end and some of the stars who are out injured right now including Trae Young.

Mike Johnson, Beau Morgan, and Ali Mac let listeners call in and give their take on if they they think the Atlanta Hawks are a better team without star point guard Trae Young, and if they would want to see Georgia get a first round bye in the College Football Playoff and not play in the SEC Championship game if possible in the Wake Up Call!

0:00 ... Show open ... Ross introduces the panel and dedicates show #199 to Chris Boucher of the Celtics who wears jersey #99. 1:20 ... Nico Harrison is out as Mavericks general manager ... the timing was odd but Harrison was a "dead man walking" after the dismal Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis trade, which has been a disaster for the Mavs.  Dallas would probably like to trade Davis but who will take this talented but fragile big man? 8:04 ... Willie Green is out as head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans ... he was the victim of poor front office moves, the inability of Zion Williamson to avoid injuries, and the fact that new GM Joe Dumars didn't hire him. 14:46 ... The Miami Heat are playing good ball despite missing Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro, but Bam's skill set is sorely missed and even though it's a deep team, they need these two guys back.  Newly acquired Norman Powell has played really well for Miami and helped keep them afloat. 18:02 ... The LA Clippers are the oldest team in NBA history and injuries are taking a huge toll.  Bradley Beal is gone for the season, Kawhi Leonard is injured once again, and now Derrick Jones Jr will miss six weeks.  The ship is sinking. 23:50 ... Victor Wembanyama will be out 2-3 weeks with a calf strain.  By the time he returns, he will be in double figures for games missed and if he misses more than 17 games, he will not qualify for postseason awards.  The team is well ahead of schedule in its progress, so the team will likely prioritize his health over any individual awards. 28:26 ... Orlando's Paolo Banchero has a left groin strain and while his teammates like Franz Wagner and Desmond Bane have stepped up, Banchero's rugged play defines the Magic's style and if he is out for an extended period, the Magic will be in big trouble. 32:05 ... Teams whose stock prices are up: the Oklahoma City Thunder ... they can't be stopped. 36:34 ... Stock Up: the Atlanta Hawks ... but Trae Young's future in ATL may be in doubt 39:50 ... Stock Up: the Phoenix Suns ... Phoenix is making naysayers like us look very bad 42:33 ... Teams whose stock prices are down: the Indiana Pacers ... injuries have decimated this team 45:47 ... Stock Down: the Milwaukee Bucks ... and now Giannis may miss action, but at least Ross composed a special poem about Kyle Kuzma. 49:33... Stock Down: the Chicago Bulls ... if the season had ended on October 31st, they'd be a legendary team, but November has been unkind to the team. 52:46 ... Stock Down: the Portland Trailblazers ... has the Tiago Splitter honeymoon come to an end? 55:47 ... Ross wraps it up and says goodbye TRT 56:08 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Carl and Mike close out the show with final thoughts on the Falcons and their status as we await the latest on Michael Penix Jr.'s injury. They then get into some Hawks talk and react to a call by Steve Holman in which he calls Dillon Brooks a "horrible person".
