Did the Rockets add enough offensive firepower? How will the Mavs generate offense without Kyrie? Plus the new-look Spurs, post-Bane Grizzlies, and Pelicans concerns in my Southwest preview with @MoDakhil_NBA.

Loaded episode with @robertmays. Can the Bengals survive without Burrow? Plus what's wrong with the 0-2 Chiefs, if Daniel Jones and the Colts are for real, DeAndre Hopkins, Cowboys/Giants lessons, Vikings, Rome Odunze, Drake Maye, and Geno Smith.

I was feeling loopy today. We hit a lot of topics!

September 15, 2020. Btw... this block can't fit into a header 💥

What happens with Kuminga? Who is to blame for this mess? New ZL Show!

Plus: Starting lineup dilemmas in a few places, the "highlights league," Sengun-Giannis sniping -- much more! New ZL Show!

Congratulations to our very own @ruthriley00! This past weekend, Ruth was honored in Greece for the 15 year anniversary of @Athinaikoswbc’s first EuroCup Women’s Basketball Title 👏

Big day for College Football around here! Who ya got?? 🏈

Another week closer to seeing these two on the court 😌

In five NBA 2K26 Summer League games with the Bulls in July, Young averaged 13.6 points on 53.5 FG% (56.3 3P%), 1.8 rebounds, 4.0 assists, and 0.8 steals in 20.1 minutes. His summer was highlighted by a 37-point performance against the Bucks.

The Heat are beginning to get their G League contracts in order. So Jahmir Young rights now to Sioux Falls Skyforce and Bryson Warren now to Nuggets’ G League affiliate. Young next to formally sign Heat camp tryout contract.

Talked Thunder, Nuggets, Wolves, Blazers and Jazz on today’s pod with @stevejones20

Today and every day, we remember.

“It’s almost like the opposite of insider trading. You had the scoop to not put money in, unless you weren’t investing in this to make money. You were investing in this for a different reason.” —@DarthAmin perfectly sums up these findings. Another remarkable episode @PabloTorre.

Trading for Terry Rozier has done nothing for the Heat except waste money and get trolled

Very similar to the classic "Mr. Thompson" bit from Cape Feare I mentioned on the pod.

“According to a source, the Heat is open to considering an extension with Powell if the start of the season goes well. “A Powell extension likely would leave Miami with modest cap space if Wiggins leaves or well over the cap, but under the luxury tax line, if Wiggins and everyone else stay.” — @flasportsbuzz

As much as backup bigs that’ve been linked to the Heat— like Precious Achiuwa, Trey Lyles, or even Kai Jones make sense for the depth, I don’t expect any of them to be signed anytime soon None of them are worth going into the tax for. But I do see Miami circling back midseason.

Brian Windhorst on the Heat’s young players: “They (Miami Heat) really like the upside of Kel’el Ware, who’s had a very good second half of his rookie season— they made him off limits in trade talks. Then they sort of have the perplexing case of Jaime Jaquez Jr., who had an excellent rookie season and a big-time sophomore slump where I think the Heat were not thrilled with his overall demeanor after his successful rookie year.” (via Hoop Collective, h/t @HeatDiehards)

LETS GOOOOOO

Have already heard from a couple of buddies from my high school years reminiscing about us breaking down mid-1990s Simpsons eps -->

That time we immortalized our franchise icon ⚡️ #BestOfNBA

Terry Rozier isn’t interested in a buyout with the Heat because of no outside free agent interest elsewhere: “There have been discussions about a Rozier buyout, but those talks have not gained traction, without any outside options for the veteran guard at the moment, as Rozier remains linked to a federal gambling investigation.” (via @IraHeatBeat)
