The Hoop Truth is out there...Can you handle it?

A looooong episode for you folks today! Agu (@_gucifer) and Nick Andre (@NickAndreATR) went marathon style to deliver all the trade goods. Several rumors in the past couple days, y'al think Caris Levert is worth 2 firsts (lol)? Additionally we talk about the upcoming All-Star weekend: Starters announced (don't worry, we talk about Wiggins), Rising Stars format changed, and Cole Anthony in the Dunk Contest.

We wrap the pod with power ranking 10 of the best bigs available at the deadline. Who's at the top? Tune in to find out! 

A break from trade season. The G-League KING (undisputed btw) Dakota Schmidt (@Dakota_Schmidt) joins Agu (@_gucifer) to talk all things G-League. Dakota gives us the inside scoop on underrated players and coaches that we may see in the NBA in the near future. Additionally, the prospects of Scoot (SCOOOOOT) Henderson who was still 17 years old and dominating for the G-League Ignite at the time of the recording. Lastly, as H&S protocols have ravaged NBA rosters and forced them to call up G-Leaguers by the dozens we ask...how is this effecting the G-League as a whole. The min-episode is an absolute delight and make sure to follow Dakota for the legendary content he puts out next! 

What a week in the NBA. And a weekend for the NFL...but that is not what this podcast is about. Agu (@_gucifer) and Nick Andre (@NickAndreATR) are back at it again tackling a couple of 'Most Wanteds'. Grayson Allen is on the Most Wanted list due to a foul that has caused Alex Caruso to get wrist injury. The bois dissect the foul, comments from both sides, and medias from the reaction. Jerami Grant is on the MW list because he just may be the best player available at the deadline. How we got to this point, what the rumors are pointing to, and potential destinations/packages are discussed at length.

- The trade landscape for all 30 teams 

Are the Pistons buyers or sellers? Which contenders should (and could) go all in? Tune in to find out ya scruffy fools 

Detroit is kinda fun to watch right now! And they're doing it without star Jerami Grant, currently sidelined with a nasty sprain. That hasn't kept 'championship contenders' from inquiring about him, however. Your brave hosts discuss whether Detroit should entertain the possibility, who makes sense as a fit, and what potential deals look like.

ALSO:

- Fallout of KPJ and CWood outbursts in Houston

- Injury Updates

- Kyrie and Klay returns on the way! 

Happy holidays you stinkers! NBG is back with a holiday-themed episode. Joining us as always is Nick Andre (that's @NickAndreATR on Twitter folks!) to discuss the litany of old-heads returning to the NBA on 10-day hardship deals, some injury updates, and Christmas wish lists for some of the more interesting teams in the NBA. Listen to it now or we'll go back in time and make sure you get coal this year!

Finally, we were getting a little bored there. The Pacers could very well be this year's Magic after reports say that they may be willing to move towards a full-scale rebuild. That means trading one and possibly all of Caris LeVert, Myles Turner, and Domantas Sabonis. All three players are expected to have serious interest on the trade market.

Nick Andre (@NickAndreATR on Twitter) joins us as always to discuss the Pacers move as well as possible trade destinations for their stars. Additionally, we talk about Steph chasing the three point record as well as some injury updates. 

We've got a miscellaneous episode! With nothing to be our main topic, I and Nick Andre (@NickAndreATR on Twitter) take a look at some plot lines across the league. We cover John Wall's desire to play again as well as the Rockets' current six game winning streak. Next up is our thoughts on the 73 point travesty the OKC Thunder gave up the other day. In brighter news is the return of Evan Mobley from injury, and whether or not the Cavs are legit or not. We wrap up with some random thoughts on Boogie/Wes Matthews in Milwaukee, and few more ranting minutes about what is happening in New Orleans. Listen now while it's still warm kiddos!
