2020 Will Be Remembered As A Year Filled With Many Surprises, Twists, And Turn Of Events, Yet The Miami Heat Will Inevitably Look Back At This Year, And Begrudge Their Inability To Foresee The True Potential Within Their Squad, And Do The Necessary Business To Add More Pieces To Complete The Puzzle, Before The League Knew That They Were Coming. Having Made It To The NBA Finals, With A Beaten Up Squad, That Wasn't Built For A Finals Run To Begin With, Miami Will Not Be A Sleeper Pick To Come Out The East This Season, Although Many Pundits Have Cast Them Off As Pretenders To The Eastern Conference Throne - Due To Their Perceived Lack Of Talent, In Comparison To Boston, Milwaukee Or Philly - The Miami Heat Have Great (Salary Cap) Room For Improvement, With Some High Earning Guy's Potentially Coming Off The Books, In Positions That They Could Upgrade, And Retool For A More Concerted Run At The NBA Title. Acquiring Jimmy Butler Was A Masterstroke From Heat GM Pat Riley, But The Legend Will Have To Dig A Little Into His Contact Book This Off-Season, And Look To Pull-Off The Type Of Deals That Will Help Catapult This Heat Team To The Heights That They Showed The Potential To Play At, Under The Leadership Of Jimmy Butler, Bam Adebayo & Tyler Herro, Who Can Already Rival Most Big 3 Tandems, With Their Ability To Score, Playmake & Defend At A High Level. Miami Have The Raw Ingredients Needed To Bake A Title Winning Pie, And Chef Riley Is One Man We Can Trust To Add Just The Right Complimentary Ingredients, To Make This All Come Together Tastefully.

Every Generation, Needs A King; This Adage Rings True In A Sport Like Basketball, Where We've Seen How One Transcendent Talent Can Change The Landscape Of The Entire League, While Often Building A Legacy That Reshapes The Narratives Of Multiple Franchises; Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neal, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant & Kawhi Leonard, Have All Led A Team/s To Multiple Championships, While Staking Their Own Claims For The Title Of Greatest Ever... A King Without A Throne (A Ring), Isn't Considered A King, By The Rather Perplexing Standards Set By Today's Basketball Analysts, Fans & Commentators - Luka Doncic Has Been Handed A Kingdom, That Has Had Prior Success, Under It's Previous King, And He Will Have To Go One Better Than Dirk, If He's To Become The Greatest Every Dallas Maverick King - The Pressure Of Leading An Underdog Side Seems To Fit Luka To A Tee, As A Blue Chip Prospect That Was Slept-On By Many Experts Leading Up To The Draft, Luka Has Grown Into The Best Overall Player From His Draft Class, While Quickly Establishing Himself As An All-Star Caliber Player, Who Can Regularly Compete For MVP Honours, And NBA Title's For Year's To Come. The Onus Is Now On Coach Rick Carlisle, GM Donnie Nelson & Owner Mark Cuban, To Build A Team Around Luka, Which Affords Him With The Optimal Platform To Really Give It A Go, In A Western Conference That Will Remain Competitive For The Next 3-4 Year's, Before Potentially Opening Up For A Team To Dominate Again, After The Warriors, Lakers, Rockets & Clippers Inevitably Have To Fall Back To The Pack, Due To Age Catching Up With Their Current Star Players, Leaving A Window For Dallas To Potentially Win Multiple Wins On The Trot, After Having Being Battle Tested Against Some Of The Best Players In The History Of The League. Trading For Porzingis Was A Great Start, One That Immediately Catapulted Dallas Into A Playoff Conversation... Now The Pressure Is On The Mavs Think-Tank To Cook Up A Few More Moves, That Provide Their 2 Young All-Star's With A Supporting Cast That Compliments The Production That Dallas Is Aiming To Put On The Main Stage, When It Matters Most - Two Equally Yoked Star's May Be Enough To Make You Competitive In This League, But You Still Need Complimentary Guy's In All The Other Positions, Plus A Few More Pieces Coming Off The Bench, To Be Good Enough To Have A Chance Of Winning It All. The Talk Of Trading For Giannis Has Been Rebutted With Rumours Of A Free-Agency Pitch Next Off-Season, With Views Of A Potential Sign-And-Trade Move Centred Around Porzingis, And Whatever Other Assets Dallas Would Be Able To Get To Give Milwaukee. Oksalayo, Dallas Can't Afford To Stand Still In This Pivotal Time, We Explored Two Scenarios, With Various Trades / Signings, That Would Potentially Make Dallas A Win-Now Team, That Either Fast-Tracks Their Timeline To Catch-Up To Giannis & Lure Him Over Next Season, Or Build Around Their Core Guy's, And Open Up An Even Longer Window For Themselves, With Younger Guy's That Can Still Grow Together. Timestamps 1:00 - From Dirk To Luka, Was An Organic Transition 3:00 - Damned If You Wait For Giannis, Damned If You Don't 4:10 - Euro Step-Up The Process (Scenario 1) 18:30 - Go Big & Bring It Home (Scenario 2) Projected Starting 5's Scenario 1 PG - Luka SG - Fournier SF - Bertans PF - Prozingis C - Vucevic Scenario 2 PG - Luka SG - Kennard SF - Me7o PF - Porzingis C - Sabonis #T2RPAAFMPodcast #RebuildingAKingdom #LoudBoothPodcasts #SuperCreativeFC #Epi4 #NBATrades --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/t2rpaafmpodcast/message

The Los Angeles Clippers Came Into Last Season As The Odds On Favourite To Win It All, Due To How Their Two New All-Star Additions Were Seen As Ideal Compliments To The Dogged Identity That Was Unearthed As A Result Of That Misfit Team Miraculously Winning The 8th Seed, And Giving The Golden State Warriors A Good Run For Their Money, During A Rather Heated First Round Encounter. Kawhi Leonard & Paul George Underperformed In The Playoffs Last Season, And Their Body Language / Actual Presence On The Court Throughout The Regular Season Was Appalling At Times. In The Few Regular Season Games That They Played Together, Kawhi Seemed To Struggle With The Added Pressure He’d Recieve When Playmaking, And Paul Was A Streaky Shooter At Best, Who Showed Flashes On His Brilliance In Spurts, With Very Little Consistency To Follow It All Up With. When Doc Rivers Was Sacked, We’d Already Heard Rumours Of Locker-Room Tension Spilling Over Into The Public Domain, With A Few Media Outlests Reporting Of How The OGs (Original Guard) - Comprising Of Pat Bev, Lou Will & Reigning 6th Man Of The Year Trez Harrell - Had All Grew Disgruntled Regarding The Preferential Treatment That Kawhi & Paul Recieved, Yet They Still Failed To Step Up When Needed Most, In A Clear Cut Case Of “I Can Do Bad All By Myself”, Which Now Leaves The Clippers Organozation In A Catch 22... Do You Run It Back With More Firepower, Trade Some Of The More Disgruntled / Vocal Vets, Or Trade PG13 Before You Risk Losing Out On Any Potential Return Of Investment, After Haemorrhaging Their Entire Future Draft Selections, And A Pretty Darn Good Player, In Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, To End Up With A 2nd Star Who Can’t Get It Done In The Clutch. The L.A. Clippers Will Have To Improve, By Any Means Necessary, Under New Head Coach Ty Lue, We Can Expect To See A Little Bit More Dynamism In The Offence, While Also Solidifying Their Front Court Defence, To Prepare For A Deep Post Season Run This Coming Season. Whether They Choose To Make A Few Trades, Sign Some Free Agents, Or Incentivise The Guys With Pre-Drafted SuperMax Contract Extensions, Predicated On Them Winning The Conference, And The Title. Potential Teams, If Suggested Trades Were To Be Made, In Conjunction.

The Process May Have Been Derailed Of Late, Due To The Realities Of Increased Expectations At The Higher End Of The Spectrum, A Reality That Has Seen The Top Brass In Philly Act Decisively In Changing The Head Coach. Doc Rivers Comes Off The Back Of Choking Up A 3-1 Lead In The Western Conference Semifinals This Past Season, Which Was Actually Better Than The Sixers Did Last Time Out, Where They Contrived To Hand Boston A 4-0 Series Sweep, Without Putting Up Much Of A Fight. Watching Jimmy Butler Carry The Miami Heat Into The NBA Finals, While Taking Some Games Off Of The Eventual Championship Winners Should’ve Rightfully Left A Sour Taste In The Mouths Of Philly’s Key Decision Makers. There’s No Use Crying Over Spilled Protein Shakes, So We Move... Philly’s New Coach, Doc Rivers, Will Certainly Have Been Tasked With The Responsibility Of Getting Joel Embiid & Ben Simmons On The Same Page, As The Two Takeaways From The Era Of “Trust The Process”, Where The Sixers Went All The Way In On A Rebuilding Mission, That Included Years Of Intentional Losing, In An Attempt To Get As Many Lottery Picks As Possible, And Hit One Some Transcendent Talent To Build Around Moving Forward. Between The 2013 & 2017 NBA Drafts, Guys Like Giannis, Mitchell, Porzingis, LaVine, Jokic, Booker Tatum & Siakam, Were All Drafted After Philly Had Already Made Their Selections, With Said Players Still On The Board; Talent Scouting & Player Development Aren’t Things Philly Have Hung Their Hat On Of Late; Elton Brand & Doc Rivers Will Need To Step Up The Talent Acquisition Drive, While Ensuring That The New Players Bring In What Philly Should’ve Drafted To Put Around Ben & Joel Over The Past Couple Of Years.

The 2019/2020 Brooklyn Nets Started The Season With A Rejuvenated Degree Of Expectation, And Rightfully So... Shocking Many In The NBA, And In The City Of New York, Brooklyn Managed To Pull Off The Addition Of Two All-Star's, In Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving. Even With KD Out For The Season, And Kyrie Coming Off Of A Less Than Stellar Stint In Boston, Many Of Us Expected The Nets To Still Make Some Noise Out East Last Season, And Boy Were We Wrong About The Kind Of Noise They'd Make... In Less Than A Few Months, The Brooklyn Experiment Has Gone From Bad Boy's 2 Level Expectations, To Bad Boy 3 Level Realities... In KD & Kyrie, The Nets Have To Superstar Talent, That Needs To Be Allotted All The Superstar Considerations Possible; A Coach Of Their Choosing / Taste, A System Designed Around Them, Players Who Will Fit Into Their Culture, And The Freedom To Run Things In The Organization On Their Terms; Basically, If KD Wants Everybody On The Team To Have Burner Accounts, While Kyrie Wants Them All To Burn Sage Before Every Game... Then Burners 'n Sage It Is! In This Episode, We Look At A Few Potential Trade Additions For Brooklyn, Targeting The Addition Of A Big Man / Defensive Anchor, A Younger Potential Star, Or A Established 3rd Superstar Level Talent, Using The Rather Limited Tradable Assets On The Nets Roster. Methinks Brooklyn Nets General Manager Sean Marks May Be Best Served Exploring One, Or Even Two Of These Moves, Going Into The Biggest Season In Nets Franchise History, Since The Went Into The 03/04 Season, Off The Back Of Trading Kyle Korver To Philly... Maybe The Curse Could End With A Philly Trade, For An Al Holford... Or A Daring Prison Break For Andre Drummond, Better Yet, Swing For The Fences & Bring In A Low-Maintenance Guy Like Steven Adams From The Ever Ready To Sell OKC Thunder... There Are Options Out There, And Brooklyn Will Have To Make Their Picks Wisely, As This Is A Once In A Generation Level Of Opportunity To Rewrite The Historical Fortunes Of This Beloved Franchise, With It's Own Unique History In Basketball Folklore. We Fired Up The Trade Machine To Assess What Sean Marks May Be Able To Pull Off This Off Season, Please Feel Free To Hit Us Up With Your Suggested Trades, And Comments On Our Trade Moves.

The 2003 NBA Draft Class, Is Seen As One Of The Best Intakes The League Has Had In The Last Two Decades - LeBron Was A Sure Fire 1st Pick, Yet You Still Had Fellow Blue Chip Prospects Like Carmelo Anthony, Dwayne Wade, And Chris Bosh Selected In The Top 5, With My Beloved Detroit Pistons Having The Second Pick, And Still Missing Out On All Four Future Hall Of Famers - Our Story Goes Further Down The Draft Board, On That Thursday Night Madison Square Garden, A Storyline That Fittingly Takes Place In The City Of Dreams; When You Look Down The List Of Picks Taken That Evening, You Come Across Future NBA Champions, And Even A Decent Future Coach, Before You Get To One Of The Greatest Shooters Ever; Late In The 2nd Round With The 51st Pick, The Then Named New Jersey Nets, Who We Fresh Off A Loss In The NBA Finals, To The Los Angeles Lakers, Drafted Kyle Korver, And Moved To Trade Him To The Philadelphia 76ers For Cash Considerations, In A Move That Seemed To Precede A Long Down Downward Spiral For The Nets Franchise. With History Proven To Have 2020 Vision, And Some Sight In Her Hind, It's Poetically Just That We Open Up The NBA Trade Machine, Just As The Nets Are Gearing Up To Return To The Heights From Whence They Fell, And Put On Our LeGM Hat, To Whip Up A Few Potential Trades, That Could Actually Help Teams Meet Their Season's Objectives. Homegrown In The LoudBooth, This Podcast Is Designed To Help Basketball Fans Grow In Their Understanding Of The Trade Market, As It Pertains To Their Teams, While Also Promoting The Nutritional Benefits Of CBD, In Conjunction With THC, When You're Under Pressure, And Having To Come Up With Solutions On The Fly...
