Dropstep ATL Podcast

The Hawks have made some noise before the trade deadline adding Clint Capela from the Rockets and bring back Dwayne Dedmon from the Kings. What other moves do we expect the Hawks to make? How much better does Capela make them? Pat Riley and the Miami Heat have made a big splash landing Andre Iguodala and signing him to a 2 year $30 million dollar deal. Can the Heat challenge the Bucks in the East?

We waste no time and get right into the horrific helicopter crash that took the life of one Kobe Bean Bryant, his daughter Gianna Bryant, and seven other passengers aboard. We talk about about the impact that his death is having on us, as well as the world. Should the NBA have cancelled all games that evening or no? Should the NBA change the logo to a silhouette of Kobe?

Zion Williamson has brought the energy in his first 4 games of his rookie season. Could he be in the rookie of the year race even though hes missed alot of the season? With the continuous growth of Zion, what could that mean for Brandon Ingram's future in New Orleans? 

R.I.P to all that lost their lives in the devastating helicopter crash. Our thoughts and prayers are with the grieving family members.

Quick show today, as we get right into All-Star weekend festivities. How great would it be to see Trae Young vs. Luka in the 3 point competition, the skills challenge, and the All-Star Game??! Also, we get into the report of how Zion Williamson wanted to go back to Duke for his sophomore season, but his family wanted him to go pro. Did he make the right choice? Finally, do we think Andre Drummond will actually be a Hawk? If so, how??

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2020 is here! We kickoff the first episode of the New Year discussing the passing of former NBA Commissioner David Stern. What did he mean to the league overall? We talk his major accomplishments and how he transformed the league in to basically what you see today. RIP David Stern. We get into what needs to be done to fix the Atlanta Hawks. One article says they need to trade for Andre Drummond. How much better would that trade and others make the Hawks. Former Indiana Pacers point guard Darren Collison is looking to make a return to the NBA next month, and is looking to join the Lakers or Clippers according to reports. Seems like he would be a perfect fit for the Lakers, but which situation fits him the best? Lastly, we all pick our Eastern and Western All-Star starting 5. Once again, Happy New Year, and we're looking forward to big things this year!

We kickoff the final episode of the year talking about the disappointing Hawks. Are they who we thought they were? What needs to happen for this team to get on the right track? The Miami Heat are a big surprise thus far this season. Is Jimmy Butler misunderstood? How far can this Heat team go? Are we concerned about the Sixers? Do they lack heart? Can they live up to the expectations set for them this season? The Mavericks are "streak enders", ending the Bucks 18 game win streak. Can the Mavs be the team in the West to contend with the Clippers and Lakers? If so, could Rick Carlisle be Coach of The Year? We end with the Lakers being the best team in the league. Can any team compete with them the way they are playing? How big was the Dwight Howard signing this offseason?! THANK YOU TO ALL THAT HAVE LISTENED TO US THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR! WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS IN 2020! HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND WE'LL SEE YOU IN THE NEW YEAR!

We kickoff Episode 40 talking Trae Young being tired of people talking to him & comparing him to Luka Doncic. Does Trae have a point? Or should he just take the Magic and Bird approach? James Harden and the Rockets are an eye sore to watch. Can this team really win anything with the way Harden plays, even if he's on a offensive tear? The NBA ratings are down so far this season, and Hometeam believes its because of the lack of superstars around the league. Is he right? Lastly, the NBA may make some changes to the regular season in the future, proposing an "in season tournament" around Thanksgiving/Christmas with possible incentives. How would the players feel about this? Would it help ratings exponentially?

The Hawks are finally back home to take on the Milwaukee Bucks after a terrible west coast swing. What did we learn about them during the road trip? Is it time to give up on this season?? Kawhi Leonard's "load management" looks a lot more serious than we thought. How will his health affect the rest of the Clippers season? How will Kawhi's injury affect him years down the road? The day we've all been waiting on: Carmelo Anthony is back! How did he look in his debut? What role do the Blazers want him to play? Will he even be on the roster for the rest of the season?

This episode we get into Trae Youngs hot streak and how it affects the Hawks moving forward. We also get more into the load management talk with Paul George reportedly making his debut very soon. How often will he and Kawhi play at together before the All-Star Break? Will chemistry be a concern? We get into surprise teams such as the Mavericks and Heat and how their good starts could shake up their respective conferences. What is really wrong with the Knicks? Who do they think they are? Are they just using David Fizdale as a scapegoat to cover the real issue which is James Dolan?
