About this episode
Special guest Steve Jones and Adam Mares break down the biggest games and storylines across the NBA, starting with Jalen Brunson leading the New York Knicks past the San Antonio Spurs to win the NBA Cup and the key contributions from Tyler Kolek, while also evaluating Stephon Castle’s strong performance and Victor Wembanyama’s defensive rebounding issues. The guys look ahead to San Antonio’s future by debating who could become the Spurs’ second best player in three years and react to the Knicks’ decision not to hang a banner for the NBA Cup. From there, the conversation shifts to trade season, with in depth discussion on whether the Golden State Warriors and Steph Curry need to make a move, the risks of trading for Jonathan Kuminga, and the future of Brandin Podziemski. They also examine which contenders and rising teams may need to be aggressive at the trade deadline, including the Timberwolves, Magic, Lakers, and Cavaliers, before closing with Steve Jones drafting his favorite players in the always popular “My Guys” segment. 00:00 - Intro 04:37 - Jalen Brunson and the Knicks hold off the Spurs to win the NBA Cup 09:40 - Tyler Kolek was vital to the Knicks success 12:58 - Stephon Castle impressed in the loss 17:46 - Defensive rebounding was Wemby’s achilles heal 24:07 - Who is going to be the 2nd best Spur in three years? 30:12 - Reactions to Knicks NOT hanging a banner for NBA Cup 37:28 - Do the Warriors and Steph Curry NEED to make a trade?
