Royal City Hoops

After watching Demar Derozan put a dagger through the Atlanta Hawks we needed to talk about his evolution and the incredible season he is having.

But also, there's other drama in the NBA even after the trade deadline and All-Star game have passed; 

• Lebron put the Lakers on notice after not trading Westbrook
• The Knicks and Kemba Walker agreed he will sit the rest of the year
• Thibodeau might be done in NYC already?
• And Zion is being compared to Greg Oden because he STILL hasn't played

Welcome to 2022! 

With the new year in full effect Cal Cee from the South Shore Ave podcast pops in for a looooooong chat about what teams and players we're looking forward to watching for the rest of the season and who we do not want to see more of.

Special thanks to Cal Cee for taking the time. Check out his podcast, the South Shore Ave, where I am sometimes a guest.

Would you rather be a Hall of Fame NBA Player and never win a championship OR and NBA role player and retire with a ring?

We go through the players who are or have been all-time greats who never won a ring.

Which would you pick? Is second place first loser or does everyone get their share of respect championship or not?

I think we all know the answer but just play along anyway...

Ben Simmons hasn't played a game this season. The Philadelphia 76ers want a top 25 player if they are even going to consider trading him.

And before we can talk about who he might get traded for,  maybe we should figure out who the top 30 players are?

In a season that's weird AF, this is by no means a comprehensive list but it gives you an idea of how hard it is to do and who Simmons could be traded for.

With Christmas coming up we've hit the 1/3 point in the season we've got trade rumours swirling with about 85% of the league being trade eligible come December 15.

We talk Dame, Ben Simmons, the 2 Bridge (Mikal and Miles) plus surprises and disappointments so far.

Even if we're a couple games in it's not too late to get the last couple of division previews in!

We quickly dig into the Northwest and Central divisions with some fun teams;

• The Bulls could be really fun
• My second man crush the Joker is going to be ridiculous again but sans Jamal Murray
• Giannis and the Bucks bring back their championship glow
• Portland is on the clock with Dame
• Detroit, Oklahoma City and Cleveland are all in "player development" stages.
• And more...

I have more questions about the teams in this division than any other:

• Can the Lakers stay healthy when it counts?
• Is Klay going to be Klay at some point for the Warriors?
• Who's going to help PG in Clipperland?
• Are the Suns going to get better through continuity?
• Is Sacramento ever not going to suck?

So much happened in the last 48 hours that it only made sense to do the Atlantic Division Preview:

• Ben Simmons is back in Philly...for now.
• Kyrie is out...but protected by God.
• The Raptors are long AF!
• Boston is good but how good really?
• Julius Randle is not a fluke.

NBA Division preview #2and we talk my man crush Luka, point forward Zion, the end of the Spurs, the Rockets rebuild and Memphis moving sideways.

We start with an apology to Trae Young, try to figure out which Tyler Herro we are going to see, Bradley Beals future, my love for Lamelo and Orlando is just gonna straight up suck.

It's been a while but this was fun to do again!
