What a way to start off slop week. Kyrie Irving has requested a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. Will they trade him in the next week? Will the Lakers trade for him to save their season? What other teams could be interested? Could this make the Nets more desperate at the trade deadline for other win now moves if they do not trade Kyrie? We answered that and more. Enjoy.

On this episode we discussed the latest trade rumors around Sixers defensive Wing Matisse Thybulle who is drawing interest from the Kings and Warriors. We then talked about if there are any realistic trades with these teams that work for both sides or if the Sixers should just keep Thybulle through the deadline and try to extend him this offseason when he is a restricted free agent. Next we will talk about the Raptors OG Anunoby and the latest rumors involving the Suns, Knicks, Pelicans and Grizzlies interest that could turn into a potential bidding war for the 3&D wing.

On this episode we talked about the latest slop rumors involving Jae Crowder to the Bucks for a poo poo platter of Serga Ibaka, George Hill, Jordan Nwora and some seconds. We then discussed the Denver Nuggets making Bones Hyland available for trade and what the Nuggets could look for in a potential return before pitching two realistic trade ideas. We then talked about Joel Embiid getting snubbed as an all star starter and then taking it out on Jokic and the Nuggets in the MVP favorite showdown this past Saturday. Then we discussed a few conspiracy theories including home cooking for JJJ and the Grizzlies?? Stay woke. Then Lebron complaining about the refs at the end of the Celtics Lakers game and why this conspiracy might run a little deeper than we think!

Bryan Toporek from Liberty Ballers and Jason Timperley join me to discuss the Sixers trade targets and whether they can realistically acquire anyone who moves the needle, some marginal upgrades or will ownership be cheap and dodge the repeater tax. We ran through all of the issues that the Sixers could face at this trade deadline with a lack of assets, salary matching, a bad market for buyers and how they will have to be creative to improve the team. On the full episode we discussed the Guards Wings and Bigs the Sixers could target at this deadline, what it would cost to get them and their fits on the current version of the team. Also how has Morey handled these situations before and should this be their all in push considering health, age and how the team has been playing? Enjoy.

The Triumphant Return of a YKB fan favorite: Trade Machine War Crimes. We talked about trade submitted via the You Know Ball Patreon discord. Many of these fake trades will have our listeners being sentenced to life by The Hague, but others were realistic so we discussed who says no and who says yes. Let us know your favorite ones in the comments. Of course we also discussed the first real trade of slop season! Rui Hachimura was traded to the Lakers. We talked about this for way too long since we were desperate for trade slop. We talked about whether we liked it, disliked it or thought it was an overpay/underpay for each side.

Luka wants the Mavericks to upgrade the team before the trade deadline, but with their lack of assets can they make any moves or are they better off waiting until this offseason to make a real splash? Also Marc Cuban gets mad at Tim Mcmahon over his reporting of this information. The Wizards have put Rui Hachimura on the trade block in order to clear a log jam for Kyle Kuzma at the four so they can pay him and their entire a ton of money this summer. We laughed at them for a little over this.

During the Patreon part of the episode talked about the report that Harden really wants to play with Eric Gordon in Houston apparently so we will discuss whether we believe this new report. We also talked about the mess that is the Rockets following the John Wall podcast interview where he talked about Harden, Jalen Green and KPJ. Next we talked about Atlanta Hawks rookie AJ Griffin being the potential steal of the 2022 draft before redrafting the top five of that draft based on the rookie's careers so far. Finally we riffed on a bunch of things including who would win this weekend's NFL playoff games (including Giants vs. Eagles obviously), which pizza chain restaurant is the best, all while Sam was dying slowly during the Warriors Celtics game that the Celtics ended up winning anyway.

YKB Favorite Tyrese Maxey was benched in favor of De'Anthony Melton. We talked about whether the team should explore trades for the rising guard (you know how I feel already) and one defensive wing target that has been floated this slop season. After this we will discuss all the slop that has dropped over the last week including rumors about the Raptors core, Mike Conley, D'Angelo Russell, Jakob Poeltl, Malik Beasley, and of course John Collins. We then recapped Bill & Zach's second podcast from the end of last week where they picked their western conference all stars and then we picked our western conference all star teams. Also listen to the end for one of our most absurd bits yet. Enjoy.

We live reacted to the news that the Lakers would be working out Meyers Leonard before we reviewed and broke down Bill and Zach's podcast about the Eastern Conference all stars. We talked about our beefs with their selections, methodology and why they hate on certain players (cough Harden). Also, should Embiid start over Giannis or Tatum? The statistical argument is heavily in his favor. We then made our 12 all star selections for the Eastern Conference and talked about a few guys who just missed the cut for us. Throughout this we also discussed some minor trade slop from the Pacers and a trade idea involving the Raptors and Lakers. Next week we will be doing the Western Conference after Zach & Bill release their podcast for the West later today. Enjoy.

On this episode we talked about Lebron complaining to Sam Amick about the Lakers lack of trades since he has signed his extension with the Lakers this past offseason. We also discussed the report that teams around the league are preparing for the scenario that Lebron asks out after this season and which teams could trade for him if he actually does want out of LA. Lastly we discussed an idea that Kevin O'Connor pitched where the Lakers could trade both of their picks in two separate trades. Then we talked about Kevin Durant's injury that will likely drop him from the MVP race, all star game and possibly derail the Nets red hot winning streak that turned their season around. Also, which contending team are the Nets better than right now and should they make any moves before the deadline? We also discuss some other minor other slop that has dropped today. Before riffing on the midseason report from the NBA media. Enjoy.

On this episode we discussed: THE FIRST (KIND OF) TRADE OF SLOP SEASON!! Then we talked about Bill Simmons trade suggestion of Maxey & Tobias for Beal and the Raptors & Bucks playing the worst best national television game of all time. Is this it for the current Raptors core? During the Patreon part of the episode we talked about the Bucks interest in Bojan Bogdanavic and whether they can realistically acquire him before the trade deadline, the full strength Heat losing to the Lakers without Lebron and AD, and then we drafted the 20 worst rotation players currently in the NBA. Enjoy.
