Superstar NBA contracts and trades are often driven by ego, entitlement, and legacy chasing — and they don’t always end well. On this episode of Straight Game Podcast, Mike Bibby, Eddie House, and Ty Ellis break down the real stories behind high-stakes moves, exposing the strategy, locker-room dynamics, and hidden costs of superstar decisions.

The crew dives into James Harden’s recent move to Cleveland — looking beyond basketball to contract leverage, lifestyle factors, team fit, and potential chemistry impacts, including how it affects roster balance and roles. They also unpack the psychology of professionalism in today’s league — why some stars sustain credibility while others fall into entitlement traps — and how those behaviors shape team culture and the next generation of players.

If you want insight into what actually happens behind closed doors — negotiations, egos, and calculated moves that reshape the league — this episode delivers perspective you won’t hear in headlines.

Ronnie Fields was one of Chicago’s most electric high-school

basketball players — a true high-flyer whose game turned heads long before

social media.

In this episode of the Straight Game Podcast, Ronnie sits down to tell his full story:

growing up on Chicago’s South Side, dominating the high-school scene, and sharing

the court with a young Kevin Garnett before either became household names.

Ronnie opens up about the style of play that made him a legend, the expectations that

came with it, and the tragic accident that changed the course of his basketball career

forever. It’s an honest conversation about talent, timing, resilience, and the realities of

the game that don’t always make the highlight reels.
