Podcast appearances and mentions of zach edey

Nate and Danny dig into a Western Conference mailbag for the Grizzlies, Wolves, Pelicans, Thunder, Suns, and Blazers, focusing on young bigs, long-term team-building, and how to survive in an OKC/Wemby/Jokic world.Memphis Grizzlies — 0:15What has Zach Edey's overall impact been so far, and why hasn't his strong play gotten more discussion?Given that most of Memphis' wins with Edey back came against sub-.500 teams, what's actually real and what projects beyond this season?Why are Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. “bad all of a sudden”—how much of it is attitude, effort, health, or role?Minnesota Timberwolves — 12:00If Tim Connelly decides to make a significant move, what sort of framework should he pursue—selling high on Julius Randle, moving Rudy Gobert to lower long-term risk while raising ceiling, or something else entirely?Who is a realistic trade target for Minnesota at point guard who can shoot, defend enough, and still let Anthony Edwards be the primary creator?What is Rob Dillingham's trade value right now—does he bring back even a late first?Why did the Wolves let Nickiel Alexander-Walker go—could they really not find a way to keep him or other options?How good is the offensive chemistry between Gobert and Randle actually—are they meaningfully helping each other?New Orleans Pelicans — 26:23Do Derik Queen's flaws—lack of true center size and questionable mobility—ultimately cap his long-term ceiling, or can his creation ability and defensive hands make those weaknesses not matter as much?If you're the Pelicans, what kind of offers would you need to seriously consider moving each of Jose Alvarado, Zion Williamson, Sadiq Bey, Herb Jones, and Trey Murphy III?Oklahoma City Thunder — 36:57Is OKC the deepest team of all time when fully healthy, given their bench of Kason Caruso, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, AJ Mitchell, Kenrich Williams, J-Will, etc.?Which Western Conference teams, if any, would intentionally punt games against the Clippers late in the season to worsen the pick OKC owns from LA?What is AJ Mitchell doing defensively that makes him so effective?How many All-Stars should the Thunder have this season?If Shai Gilgeous-Alexander were to get hurt in the playoffs, how good would OKC's offense remain—could they still realistically win a series or two?Which Western Conference teams have the best chance of beating OKC in a playoff series, and how would you rank the Rockets, Spurs, and Nuggets as threats?Phoenix Suns — 47:45Given the Suns' surprising competence plus the fact they don't control their own firsts, has your view changed on how they should operate over the next 2–3 years?If you were running the Suns and received a strong offer for Devin Booker, would you trade him?With the Suns hovering around the 6-seed race, could they be sneaky buyers at the deadline—and if so, what position or role should they target given their current roster and Jalen Green's fit?Portland Trail Blazers — 53:05Is Portland's rebuild a failure—especially considering taking Scoot over Amen, choosing Klingan over Edey, trading out of the Cedric Coward spot for Hansen, and the current returns on Shaedon Sharpe?With OKC, Wembanyama's Spurs, and Jokic's Nuggets (plus Houston) as massive obstacles, how should the other Western teams approach big-picture strategy, timelines, and the pursuit of relevance?Have any of Sharpe, Toumani Camara, and Donovan Clingan actually improved from last year, or is it fair to say none of them have taken a real step forward?

Ja Morant made his expected return to the lineup against the Jazz on Friday, 12/12, but before the game the Grizzlies announced that Zach Edey would be out for at least four weeks with a stress reaction.After being one of the best defenses since Edey's season debut, Memphis surrendered 130 points to Utah and lost, despite Ja having 21 points and 10 assists in limited minutes. On this episode, the game against the Jazz is discussed, including Santi Aldama stepping into the starting lineup, Cedric Coward posting a double-double, Cam Spencer going 6-6 from the 3-point line, and Jaren Jackson struggling once again. Also, in addition to the Edey injury news, the team announced John Konchar would be out indefinitely, Javon Small's return is nearing, and Brandon Clarke could make his debut this week. Support the show, join the listener slack!

Topics include defensive strides, Zach Edey impact and Cam Spencer minutes at point guard.  They also touch on the imminent return of Ja Morant, who is working his way back from a calf strain.

Kings weren't able to handle the Grizzlies on this night, Zach Edey was too big and their ball movement seemingly befuddled the Kings enough to hand the Kings a loss in the G1C. Kings fought hard but were simply overwhelmed. Kings have now lost their last 3 and the Rockets are next on their schedule.It's not getting easier anytime soon.Use code SKT15 on checkout to get 15% off from HYVDesigns on Etsy during checkout or use this link: https://www.etsy.com/shop/hyvdesigns/?etsrc=sdt&coupon=SKT15Intro Music by Blue Dot Sessions. https://www.sessions.blueIf you want to email us: kingtherapypod@gmail.com

Chris Herrington and guest Keith Parish discuss a chaotic week for the Grizzlies, with the loss of Ja Morant, the return of Zach Edey and the rough fourth-quarter play of Jaren Jackson Jr. 

The Grizzlies faltered down the stretch once again and lost their 5th straight game. Cedric Coward led the team with 19 points and 11 rebounds, and the defense looked improved with Zach Edey, but a weak 4th quarter and Harrison Barnes outplaying Jaren Jackson Jr was too much to overcome.To discuss this loss, and the overall state of the Grizzlies, including Tuomas Iisalo's shaky record, the attitude of Ja Morant, and the goals of this team, Keith is joined by Chris Herrington of The Daily Memphian.Also covered: Dillon Brooks and Marcus Smart sound off about the Grizzlies!To join the listener slack and support the creation of this show, please sign-up at Patreon.com/FastbreakBreakfastUse promo code FBBF and get up to $1000 in bonus cash at Underdog Fantasy: play.underdogfantasy.com/p-fastbreak-breakfastCheck out the NBA and Grizzlies merchandise at teepublic.com/stores/fastbreak-breakfastGet $20 off your first purchase at SeatGeek with promo code: FASTBREAKBREAK

In that game, Ja Morant left early and did not return, opening injury questions for the team once again.Also in that game, Cedric Coward made his first career start as Tuomas Iisalo shuffled the lineups trying to improve on recent results. But largely due to the loss of Morant, the Grizzlies could not hold onto a fourth quarter lead and lost their 8th game out of their last 9.This episode discusses the strong play of Edey, Ja's injury, the start (and lower minutes) of Coward, plus the recent blowout defeat to the Celtics.UPDATE: the Grizzlies announced after recording Ja Morant will be out for 2 weeks.Join the listener slack channel and support the creation of Grits and Grinds at Patreon.com/FastbreakBreakfastUse promo code FBBF and get up to $1000 in bonus cash at Underdog Fantasy: play.underdogfantasy.com/p-fastbreak-breakfastCheck out the NBA and Grizzlies merchandise at teepublic.com/stores/fastbreak-breakfastGet $20 off your first purchase at SeatGeek with promo code: FASTBREAKBREAK
