Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 90 – Offseason Updates for Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers / The Bucks added a legitimate coach after finally ending the Jason Kidd experiment. The roster is largely the same apart from a few veterans to help man the power forward and center positions. Can they challenge the big three of Boston, Toronto and Philadelphia? How might the coaching change impact the play of Giannis? Portland largely ran it back apart from their most important front court player off of the bench and their most important back court player off of the bench. Are the young guys ready to step up and help? How urgent is the Dame legacy situation? All of this and more.

158 - Kawhi/Spurs Saga (Part 6,924), Bucks Postmortem, PHI/BOS, CLE/TOR, UTA/HOU / On the heels of a deep dive into the relationshp between Kawhi Leonard and the Spurs from ESPN.com's Ramona Shelburne and Michael C. Wright, Andy and Dan once again talk about the mounting awkwardness in San Antonio. They also break down the NBA's coaching carousel, with a focus on the Knicks and Bucks, while riffing on the Grizzlies' decision to hire J.B.

Jabari Parker hit just six of his 21 shots. It was a struggle for both of them on Thursday night. - Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Full Court Press NBA Podcast Episode 53 – Who should trade for Kemba? Team Updates for Heat, Wizards, Bucks, Nets / Now that it’s widely known that the Hornets are looking for a trade partner for Kemba Walker as to dig out of some of their financial contraints we discuss which organizations should step up and make a serious effort to acquire him. Are the Miami Heat a team that is going to have to be dealt with in the Eastern Conference playoffs? What is going on with Hassan Whiteside who sat the entire 4th quarter the comeback win over the Hornets? Are the Bucks as pedestrian as their numbers indicate they are? It really comes down to 2 positions on the roster… which ones? And that analysis might be quite similar to our perspective on the Wizards. Weird! Why are the Nets still so much fun to watch? Why are they still winning games they are not supposed to be winning and how is that low wrecking what is going on in Cleveland? And who got our awards this week? Listen and find out.

Could the accusations by teammates against Kevin Love lead to a trade? What to make of Kawhi's "rift" with San Antonio? Then we look at the Central Division at the trade deadline. What could be moved to shake Cleveland out of its doldrums, maybe Love or the Brooklyn pick? Nikola Mirotic is on the block for Chicago, while Detroit might have to pick a direction soon if their free fall continues. Meanwhile, we expect fewer fireworks in Indiana and Milwaukee. - - Last, a tease from our Stitcher Premium episode ranking coaches, which gives some great context on why Kidd was fired. - - - - With host Nate Duncan (@NateDuncanNBA) and Danny Leroux (@DannyLeroux).

This week we wanted to see why the Jazz were playing so well, especially on offense. Well Utah did not get many wins this week but we came away impressed anyway. Why? Did you know they have the 4th best offensive rating in the NBA since November 15? Now you do. Listen to hear more about that. Are the Thunder as dysfunctional as the look? Yes? Is there hope? For sure. Might they need to make a coaching change? We discussed this. Are the Rockets doing sustainable things? Are they really a top 5 team on both ends of the court? We discuss this. The Bucks are 11-4 since the Bledsoe trade. Have they arrived? Most certainly not, they can get better and the rest of the league should be terrified of that possibility.

EKG or KEG or GEM or BAM or whatever you call them played a bunch of minutes in both games and performed well to lead the Bucks to two weekend wins. - Learn more about your ad choices.

119 - NBA Report Cards for Eastern Conference and Jahlil Okafor/Nets/76ers Trade / Now that the 2017-18 NBA season has eked pasts its quarter-pole mark, rumor has it we're free to hand out report grades for every team. Hardwood Knocks already tackled the Western Conference, which you can, and should, and must, listen to here. Now it's on to the Eastern Conference—but not before we react to the Philadelphia 76ers trading Jahlil Okafor and Nik Stauskas to the Brooklyn Nets for Trevor Booker. - All 15 squads are covered—in random order—so you needn't worry about us leaving anyone out. Among the most pressing questions: Do the Boston Celtics deserve perfect marks? Who among the Charlotte Hornets, Miami Heat and Washington Wizards gets a failing grade? Is the Cleveland Cavaliers' recent tear a harbinger of things to come or merely a protracted blip on the radar? - Should the New York Knicks get a favorable grade for hovering around .500? How about the Indiana Pacers? Are the Milwaukee Bucks the biggest underachievers in the conference? Have the Orlando Magic screwed themselves during their latest nosedive? Do the Toronto Raptors warrant—gasp—a Celtics-esque grade? Are there silver linings to plumb for the tanking Atlanta Hawks and Chicago Bulls? - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

We share thoughts on the Eric Bledsoe trade and what might happen with Greg Monroe. We hand out our weekly awards and then get into team by team analysis. Why are the Bucks just a .500 team even though they have the most efficient offensive player in the league so far this season? What are the Pistons doing that is so fundamentally different from what they were doing last season? Are the Knicks doing sustainable things? Are the Hawks this bad? Are the Bulls doing right by Lauri Markannen? Is Brad Stephens into voodoo? What are the Wizards trying to be? Where did the Heat hunger go? Does it still exist? Then in our guest segment with Nat Kitaw we talk about positional gravity. Do big men that can shoot from three point range have more gravity than gaurds? The what to make of the Sixers roster decision as the date on which a Robert Covington renegotiation and extension can happen nears? All of this and more.

Locke thinks that offensive rebounding has become more important than ever with the decrease in offensive rebounding around the league. - Pelton shares that stars aren't getting calls like they usually do and the impact it is having on some teams most notably the Thunder. - Is the play of Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis an indictment on Russell Westbrook? - Then Locke and Pelton go rapid fire on teams touching on Boston, Cleveland, Toronto, Portland and Memphis - Today's show is brought to you by Seat Geek with the promo code Locked giving a $20 rebate on first purchase and Draft your daily fantasy game.

111 - Eric Bledsoe's Fit with Bucks, Suns' Next Move, Other NBA Trade Candidates / Eric Bledsoe is finally on the move. - As first reported by ESPN.com's Zach Lowe and Adrian Wojnarowski, the Phoenix Suns traded the exiled point guard to the Milwaukee Bucks on Tuesday in exchange for Greg Monroe's expiring deal, a heavily protected first-round pick, and a modestly protected second-round selection. - This move comes as a surprise to no one who's been following the NBA—or Bledsoe's Twitter account. We could see everything unfolding from a mile away, right down to his destination. - So now what? - Everything else. - Bledsoe makes the Bucks look a lot better on paper, but does he noticeably elevate their ceiling in the Eastern Conference? How does he fit alongside Giannis Antetokounmpo? What happens to the starting lineup with him in the fold? Will Malcolm Brogdon get moved to the bench? And how will the offense function once Jabari Parker is healthy and running with both Greek Freak and Mini LeBron? - Oh, and we cannot forget about the Suns. Where do they go from here? Will they reroute Monroe or find him a new home? Is Tyson Chandler more likely to get bought out after not being included in this deal? - Andy and Dan tackle all this, in addition to going around the NBA and sussing out which other players might be traded in the coming weeks and months. So strap in. We're about to cover a lot of ground. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.
