PTBN's NBA-Team: After Shocks
Feb 11, 2025
Feb 11, 2025
49 min
After a seismic, earth-shaking deal between the Lakers and Mavericks sent the trade deadline into a whirlwind (where we had a record amount of deals in one week), Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are trading all the details, hot takes, and barbs about the 2025 deadline. Is there any justification for a lifelong fan to turn heel on their own franchise the way that Mavericks fan have after Luka Doncic was dealt? Is the luxury tax limit still the biggest boogeyman in the NBA as teams continuously sold for pennies on the dollar? Did a team on pace to win 60 games somehow get BETTER when the Cavs acquired De'Andre Hunter? HOW many teams were involved in that Jimmy Butler trade to Golden State? Riche and Adam also talk about the frustrating Kings, the blow-it-up Bulls, the soft-reset Hawks, De'Aaron Fox to the Spurs, and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 333 with the NBA-Team!

On the 47th edition of Pop Goes the Classics, Andy Atherton, Mirandia Berthold, and Steve Riddle return to the Hundred Acre Wood to discuss the 51st Disney Animated Film, Winnie the Pooh. Join the trio as they discuss if the release date of the film hurt its potential, paying homage to the original 1977 film, the different voice cast, Pooh's unhealthy obsession with honey, the characters' emotions being amplified, seeing things as a kid vs. being an adult and parent with extended rants from Andy and Mirandia, whether the Backson would be considered scary, the whole Pooh Extended Universe at this time, if the film would've worked better as a direct-to-DVD release or TV special, and the film ultimately setting the stage for the upcoming stretch of films. So join Andy, Mirandia, and Steve as they have a very important thing to do and continue their trek through the Disney Film Canon.

Lakers or Dallas Mavericks leveled up. Luka Doncic is a Laker, but did we find out at the same time that the Don did? Anthony Davis is a Maverick, but is there a chance that Dallas got better and worse at the same time? Did Adam actually give GM LeBron an A+ grade for the first time in his career, or did the Lakers look to the future after LeBron?
