Then, They work over to what this trade means for Deandre Jordan's Future and how he is "Verbally agreed" (again) with the Dallas Mavericks. After that its on to Thad Young and how he was smart to pick up his player option, and how that could hurt the Pacers chances of getting Aaron Gordon. Which they then get into talking about Aaron Gordon and if the Magic will just match ant offer he gets. Last, its all about Kawhi Leonard.... is he going to LA... and what can the Spurs pry away from the Lakers? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

165 - Cavs-Warriors Finals Primer, Colangelo/76ers Twitter Scandal, Magic Hire Clifford / Hardwood Knocks drops their officially official primer and preview for Cavaliers-Warriors, Round 4. But before they get to NBA Finals anatomization and predictions, they must first navigate their way through the most 2018 scandal ever. - - On the heels of a report from The Ringer's Ben Detrick that suggests Philadelphia 76ers president Bryan Colangelo has five secret Twitter accounts dedicated to serving his own agenda, Andy and Dan discuss all the various forms of potential fallout. The accounts in question haven't been confirmed as Colangelo's, but the evidence seems pretty damning. And given how critical these burners were of everyone from Joel Embiid and Markelle Fultz, to Sam Hinkie and Masai Ujiri, it stands to reason all this could ultimately cost Colangelo his job. - - Will it also cost the Sixers a shot at signing LeBron James and Paul George? Should we give Colangelo the benefit of the doubt in this instance? Is this the craziest NBA storyline in recent memory? - - After blitzing through this, Andy and Dan offer their thoughts on the Magic hiring Steve Clifford as their new head coach. And then, from there, it's NBA Finals time. Do the Cavaliers have a chance? What are the implications of every possible Finals outcome? What tactical adjustments will the Warriors and Cavs make as the series goes on? We talk about it all! - - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.

We are adjusting to providing updates on four teams per episode as opposed to eight teams as to get back to providing as much depth as we did in the season previews. We saw the Timberwolves play live four times this week so we go in depth on where they are as a team. Why do we feel they are not currently playing as well as their record would suggest? What is going on with them in the fourth quarter? How is Jimmy Butler making an impact? Per point differential and net rating the Pistons should not be as good as their record suggests either? Why do we feel more encouraged about them? The Magic are off track. Why? And is there anything they can do as to try to get back on track? The Heat are trending in a good direction. Why do we feel like they are heading toward a 5th seed or better in the Eastern Conference?All of this and more.Follow us on Twitter: @willis_glen / @LawtonWillis / @presspodcastFollow us on FaceBook: @fullcourtpressnba Learn more about your ad choices.

But you're knocking on the door of the next best thing: Hardwood Knocks' first-ever mailbag! - To start things off, we take you around the NBA with some quick-hitting news items: Robert Covington is about to be very rich, the New York Knicks may have passed on George Hill to sign Tim Hardaway Jr., and Chicago will play host to its first All-Star Game since 1988, when a certain GOAT was named MVP, in 2020. - From there, we get to your questions. That's right you, our loyal listeners, are now shaping the discussion. - Will the Cleveland Cavaliers even win 50 games? Should they be considering Kevin Love trades? Which projected playoff teams are in danger of falling outside the bubble? Is Andre Drummond really the best free-throw shooter in NBA history? Is this Memphis Grizzlies bench for real? - Who deserves to be the frontrunner for Most Improved Player more: Aaron Gordon or Kristaps Porzingis? Should the Utah Jazz be looking to make a trade?

110 - Is This Real Life? Sustainability Index for NBA's Hottest Starts / If only every absurdly hot start to the 2017-18 NBA season could last forever. - Sadly, though, life on the hardwood doesn't work like that. Some blistering beginnings are for real. Others? Not so much. They're protracted smokescreensâplayers and teams capitalizing on fiery streaks and relative early-season laxity and unpreparedness from opponents. - Where do some of this year's most notable starts fall on the "Is this real life?" scale? - Andy and Dan tackle the biggest, baddest, bestest standouts, ultimately deciding whether they're flashes in the pan or signs of a new normal. - Yes, this means lots and lots and lots of Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ben Simmons talk. It also means we'll be cannonballing into the suddenly awesome Indiana Pacers and Orlando Magic. The Boston Celtics' defense and the Memphis Grizzlies' bench will be making cameos as well. So, too, will Ricky Rubio, DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis' three-point shooting. And Stephen Curry's return to MVP form. And greatest-of-all-time-candidate Mike James. And Unicorn O.G. Kristaps Porzingis. And, well, you get the gistâwe're burning through a bunch of topics. There may or may not even be a Donovan Mitchell tangent along the way. - Don't forget to check out the first part of this early-season series, wherein we deliver "Panic or Nah?" verdicts for the NBA's coldest starts. You can listen to that here. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes. You can also find us on Stitcher and BlogTalkRadio.

FCP 039:Eastern Conference Updates: Hornets, Magic, Pacers, Nets, Cavaliers, Raptors, Wizards, 76ers / We begin our in-season analysis. The Hornets only home loss has been to the Houston Rockets, are they on track? Is there any chance the Magic are as good as their 4-2 start suggest? The Pacers now have some impressive wins to feel good about? How good are they? The Nets have already surprised. Are they fundamentally a different team than they were last season? The Cavaliers are definitely not track. How back are things in Cleveland? The Raptors are the Raptors, or are they? The Wizards are attacking their early season schedule, literally. Should Wizards fans be encouraged? The Sixers are one missed foul call away from being 3-3. What do we see in their early season performance?

98 - Back to the NBA Lottery, Part 6: 2017-18 Orlando Magic Preview / More than a half-decade has come
98 - Back to the NBA Lottery, Part 6: 2017-18 Orlando Magic Preview / More than a half-decade has come and gone since the Orlando Magic last made the playoffs. And, well, they're not about to reverse course anytime soon. - Led by a new front office regime following the exit of general manager Rob Hennigan, the Magic find themselves in one of the NBA's most bizarre situations. They haven't actually hit reset on anything; they've been in a constant rebuilding state since the Dwight Howard trade. They have, however, tethered themselves to a process without any discernible direction. - Seriously: Who projects as the cornerstone on this team? At one time it looked like Nikola Vucevic, but it'll be a small miracle if he finishes the season in Orlando. Evan Fournier has the contract of a primal building block, but he cannot be the best player on a quality postseason squad. - Aaron Gordon and Elfrid Payton are the best guesses here, and yet, neither one has proved beyond a shadow of the doubt they're equipped to ferry such a burden. (Gordon, to his credit, hasn't been given a fair shake while getting shuttled between the 3 and 4.) This is problematic in a vacuum, but the situation grows more tenuous with both Gordon and Payton due raises next summer. - Beyond all this, the Magic must figure out what they're going to do with rookie Jonathan Isaac, how they plan to develop Mario Hezonja and whether Bismack Biyombo should even be a part of the rotation. - Tony East (@TEastNBA) of NBA Math and Locked On Pacers (@lockedonpacers) dives into all this, and so much more, on the latest, greatest, most specialest episode of Hardwood Knocks. - As always, be sure to subscribe to and rate Hardwood Knocks on iTunes.
