The trade deadline of 2019 has come and gone, and it was a doozy. We're talking all the trades that happened and didn't happen. We first dish on what's to come next for Anthony Davis now that he's staying in New Orleans for a little while longer (2:00).

In this episode John, Will and Trent give each NBA team a totally not real and made up gift. Want to hear what we gave your favorite team? Well you should, because it just might make you laugh. Thanks for listening!
This year has been super weird in the NBA. It's just over 20 games in and we still can't tell who is legit or bound to regress. Regardless, we still have to give props to who has been playing well and condemn those who haven't. The gang discusses who their picks are for the NBA awards including executive, coach, rookie, MVP, and much more. As always, thanks for listening and please subscribe, share, and send us questions.

Jimmy Butler is finally traded! Will is out with "illness," so John and Trent break down the trade and what it means for the Wolves, Sixers, and everyone involved (2:06). We also talk about the Spurs-Rockets game and try to make sense of the Rockets' recent struggles (24:15), including rumors of Carmelo Anthony's uncertain future with the team. After that, we ask if the Bucks' win over the Warriors is any indicator of them being a top Eastern Conference team (52:00). We also touch on the new sla...
Whoever bet 2 weeks into the season for the amount of time needed for Will and Trent to abandon the Rockets ship, congrats! Amid the recent suspensions and team adjustments for new players, the Rockets are re-engaging on a Jimmy Butler trade. We talk a bit more on other landing spots for Butler, as well as speculate where Kevin Durant may go next year. John talks a bit about attending the Spurs/Lakers game from Saturday night, and is Stephen Curry back in the MVP race? (Yes.) All that and more o...
Rondo and Paul had a scrap, the Rockets aren't playing defense and Nikola Mirotic is the best player in the NBA. We discuss and overreact to all this and more this week on the pod, plus Will makes fun of THAT laugh.
The NBA season is here, and we finally finished our NBA over/unders, this week tackling the Western Conference. All that and more Jimmy Butler talk, crazy predictions and a brief overview of the individual awards. As always, take a listen, send us questions/comments, and tune in again next week. Much appreciated. HAPPY NBA SEASON!
Training camp starts this week but it looks like we're going to have one more all-star move before the season starts! The gang goes over Jimmy Butler's trade request out of Minnesota, and then we follow it up by reviewing the offseason of the entire eastern conference and give our bets for the over/under win totals of each team. Take a listen, send us questions/comments, and tune in again next week. Much appreciated.
There should really be a song about the boys being back in town because John, Will, and Trent are recording again!

Keep an eye out for a new episode next week. Send us questions! Thanks for listening. Intro: Super Friends Beat by Nameles. https://m.soundcloud.com/erikfontanez
Welcome to Episode 19 of BBR! The 3-Man lineup is back in effect. John, Will, and Trent start the pod by discussing Trent's favorite person. Lavar Ball wants to start a league that will allow high school graduates to bypass the NCAA, get paid, and spend a year under the Youth Basketball Association preparing for the NBA Draft. Can this plan work? Will there ever be a alternative route to the NBA besides the NCAA and international play? Then we get into Anthony Davis and the Pelicans. Davis just ...
We got a bunch of action going on in this episode of BBR. We open up with a new segment as we go through the week's news lightning round style. Then Will corrals John into doing the Beanboozle challenge which is fun but sucks too. The first big topic we hit is the trade involving Jahlil Okafor to the Brooklyn Nets. Is this the kind of trade Philly was holding out for all along? Was the return value worth it? Can Jahlil make the best of this opportunity to revitalize his career? After that, we ju...
BBR is back! We catch up on the news that has come up over the past couple weeks, and we start off with Derrick Rose taking a break from the Cavs and maybe basketball for good. We don't really know what else there is to say about Rose. From MVP to minimum contract level player, it's been a career that no one else could've imagined at the top of his game. We follow that up with the news that the Memphis Grizzlies fired David Fizdale as head coach, a move that stunned many across the league. All o...

Remember to subscribe, share, and send us questions! Cop a shirt if you haven't already! Thanks again for listening. Intro: Super Fr...
The 3-Man Pod is back! Trent joins Will and John and start off talking about what's wrong with the Thunder. Paul George hasn't been as involved in the offense as Melo and Westbrook, and that seems like a problem. They have the second best defense overall but the worst defense in crunch time. How is that possible? Then we talk the Eric Bledsoe trade to the Bucks. Could the Suns have gotten more for him? How does the Bucks' outlook change with Bledsoe on the team now? Then we dig into the Rockets ...
We're spending this episode answering your questions!! They cover a wide range of topics. How can other leagues compete with the NBA's successful marketing of stars? When does taking the regular season easy go too far? And Will asks himself, how was he so wrong about Kristaps? Then we talk about Jahlil Okafor news and his future in the NBA. After that, we get into early performances that were not expected by most people. Which teams are showing their true identity and which ones are starting the...
