NBA Trade Season Begins! Latest on Giannis, Warriors & More

NBA trade season heats up as concerns mount around Giannis Antetokounmpo and the future of the Milwaukee Bucks. Could the superstar be on the move sooner than expected, and will teams like the Knicks, Miami Heat, or even Detroit Pistons make a play for him? Wes Goldberg, Matt Moore, and Haize break down the latest rumors and speculate which teams stand to reshape the league if blockbuster trades materialize.

San Antonio Spurs shake up the Western Conference as Victor Wembanyama returns, dominating the Thunder in the NBA Cup semifinals and raising questions about the team’s contender status. The hosts debate whether the Spurs should pursue Giannis or ride their current wave. Plus, the Warriors spiral continues—Steph Curry’s nearly 50-point outburst fails to save Golden State from a tough loss to the Blazers. Is it time for a fire sale? The episode wraps with winners and losers, rapid-fire trade scenarios, and analysis of recent standout performances across the NBA.
