  • Exceptional

    I think it is very educational about the NBA. This is where I get all my basketball news. It also has plenty of different opinions on the show which shows you both sides.

  • Explicit language

    This podcast says it’s clean but includes explicit language inappropriate for children. It’s fine if you want to include that but list your podcast as explicit not clean in the show description.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Previewing 2026 NBA Free Agency - Featuring Keith Smith
Q: Is there a way for the Wizards to offer Trey Young something that makes sense for him to turn down the player option and go straight into an extension?
Keith outlines a plausible path: the Wizards take the 50 million option for the last year of the current deal, then offer a two-year extension around 70 million total, with guarded guarantees to maintain flexibility.
Previewing 2026 NBA Free Agency - Featuring Keith Smith
Q: Keith, first and foremost, how are you doing, sir?
Mort kicks off with a cordial check-in before diving into the free-agent landscape, and Keith responds with a positive update, setting the tone for a wide-ranging discussion.
Go New York, Go New York, Go! - Featuring Keith Smith
Q: What do you think about the Bulls' decision to hire Tiago Splitter and Bryson Graham, and their overall plan moving into the draft and free agency?
The moves suggest a deliberate rebuild with a clean slate, focusing on culture, coaching fit, and flexibility in player development, aiming to maximize cap space and strategic acquisitions rather than quickly chasing a vanity roster.
Go New York, Go New York, Go! - Featuring Keith Smith
Q: What's your read on the Knicks' championship win and what it means for how teams might build going forward?
The Knicks showed there isn't a single correct blueprint; you can mix veteran win-now pieces with smart development and tactical shifts, like Towns' passing role and Brunson's off-ball adjustments, to create a cohesive, adaptable team.
New Orleans Pelicans 2026 NBA Offseason Lookahead - Featuring Dan Favale
Q: Let's start there, Dan.
Favale expresses skepticism about Jamal Mosley as a head coach for the Pelicans, suggesting the hire may lack offensive creativity and questioning the fit given the roster's talent and expectations.
