The Center rotation features heavily in analysing the off-season moves but Matt is quietly optimistic for his beloved Raps....

Our next guest is Jack (@SacKingsUK). We dive into the young players on the roster - what is the ceiling for De'Aaron Fox? Can Marvin Bagley stay healthy or has Puma jinxed his ability to stay on the court?

Okay this is getting silly now - ANOTHER MTC pod for you all, what a treat! 

Today we are humbled to be joined by Jake from Locked On Pelicans (@NOLAJake) to answer the questions surrounding Zion and the rest of the New Orleans team. Can they make a push for the playoffs? Will Zion continue hitting threes at the impressive rate we saw in his debut? Can he stay healthy?

Our second guest today is Renee Washington (ReneePwash), host of the Beyond the Headlines with Renee Washington podcast. Renee has a close affinity to the Washington Wizards and gave us a great insight as to why they won the Westbrook trade and what the team needs to make another leap.

Another MTC episode? On a Tuesday, of all days?! That's right, we are fast-becoming a daily podcast with the start of the season fast-approaching. Today we have Geraint from @OrlandoMagicUK joins us to talk about his long-standing affinity, since the days of Horace Grant. What G doesn't know about the Magic isn't worth knowing.

Following that, Matt from @UKNetsFans joins us again, meaning Theo talks lots of Nets... so basically like every other episode! We unpack the drama surrounding Harden from Matt's P.O.V and assess the overall roster for one of the favourites going into the season.

To finish, friend of the podcast Oli joins us to talk Rockets - Vinny loved it! The serious questions were asked and answered... What should the Rockets do with their two want-away stars? What would be considered a good trade package for Harden? Is Christian Wood the type of big man that the Rockets were missing in the bubble?
