FIND US ON THE DEEP TWO PODCASTING NETWORK

Basketball has been back just a few days, but boy is there a lot to talk about! Lukas and Marco talk about their early impressions of the Wiz and the Pels, then talk through the promising and not-so-promising signs from the first few games of the 2020-21 NBA season: the Second Coming of Christ(ian Wood), how Pop Smoke is bringing another ring to Cleveland, the good the bad and the ugly of the rook...

With the real life NBA basketball season a day away, the boys give their 7 playoff locks, their 4 teams out of the playoff picture, and their 4 contenders for the 8th seed for each conference. Also the Kuz, Gobert and Giannis contracts bring up some questions about loyalty, honour and yee yee ass haircuts.

Who is the greatest basketball player of all time? Nothing gets clicks faster than that, so of course the boys had to record a pod about it. Lukas and Marco take us through their argument for the GOAT, their NBA Mount Rushmores, the players they wish they were around to see and their favourite players to watch. Also Jimmy P stops in for some reason.

The day Lukas has feared for so long (or a week or two) has finally come – John Wall traded to the Rockets for Russell Westbrook. The boys also discuss Lebron and AD's contracts and what it means for the future of the league, and the question that's been on everybody's lips – which "Troy" character corresponds to which NBA player?

Marco rants about how much he hates NBA Reddit and Twitter, which is a lot. Also discussed: the saddest day in basketball history (November 28, 2020 at the Staples Centre no less), DeMarcus Cousins headin' to the Runnitback Rockets, Bam getting the max and Hassan Whiteside statpadding his way into another contract.

The free agency chaos continues, but first Marco breaks down the Adams trade to the Pels and why NOLA fans are being little babies. Then, the Lakers shore up their roster, Christian Wood goes with the Rockets, Marcus Morris Sr pulls the wool way over the Clippers' eyes (seriously), Fox and Mitchell get their max and the Suns continue to make very solid moves.

Once billed as a bust year, the 2020 NBA free agency is nary a few days old and already there are frantic moves a plenty! Lukas and Marco take you through the latest moves in the East including: Hayward's massive signing in Charlotte, the Hawks continuing to build a playoff contender, the sadness goes on in Detroit, the Heat fortify and Bertans says yes.

With the 2020 NBA Draft under wraps, the identity of teams starts to take shape and the madness of the trading period begins. Lukas and Marco take you through the Wizards and Pels draft stock and a quick overview of the whole affair, including a call out for any and all Obi Toppin stans. Also, a round-up of all the trades so far - the Thunder keep stockpiling picks, the Warriors make a dash after...

It's not comprehensive but the lads say what they want from the Pelicans and Wizards out of the 2020 NBA Draft. Also: a KFC sponsorship, why everyone should be happy about Dennis Schröder on the Lakers and the insane possibility (and probability) of Harden joining the SuperNets.

Lukas and Marco are hanging out, fanging for a soufflé, when an odd gallery of rogues and Minnesota superfans start ringing in. Special thanks to Angus Price.

Now that the Wizards have locked Sleepy Joe into a four-year deal, the boys give their take on the election and what it means - and says - about the NBA. Also some unsubstantiated trading rumours, What If Jesus Was a Point Guard?, why Marco is the pod game's Dennis Schroder and the question on everyone's lips - what if Linsanity never ended?

At this point, it just feels like the Nets are making moves to make headlines. The boys discuss their hiring of Mike D'Antoni and Ime Udoka, and other news from around the league. There's a bit of Paul George slander and the long-form debut of Marco's Mailbag. Topics of discussion include the 10 worst contracts in the NBA, a starting five featuring both Morris twins and facing up prime Donald Trum...

The preseason coaching merry-go-round is in full swing and the boys are hanging on for dear life! They discuss how much they like Stan van Gundy for the Pelicans, why there's something not right about Ty Lue's promotion and the intangible joy of Billy Donovan. Marco also gives Lukas a special podcast birthday present.

Titans of funny and basketball Jimmy Petridis and Tariq Gerardi join the show for our final pre-agency preview. Slick talks us through what the Celtics have to do to win the East, Jimmy breaks the NBA trade rules and salary cap to stack his beloved Knicks, we talk about the Nets for ten minutes even though nobody cares, question if Pascal Siakam is "the guy" for the Raptors and take a look at what...

After a season that surprised some and vindicated others, Dan Megennis tells the pod what he wants from Jimmy Buckets and the Heat next year, and whether or not Giannis will be taking his talents to South Beach in 2021. Lukas also gets an opportunity to rant about his beloved/hated Wizards and there are three other basketball teams in the Southeast apparently - who knew!

Bulls fan (boring pick by the way) Tom Hickland joins the show to talk moves for the off-season. The crew discuss how the Bucks can keep Giannis in Mil-wacky and how such a once-storied division became home to a couple of basket cases.

Angus Price joins the pod (figuratively) from the frozen tundra of Minnesota - but there ain't nothin' cold (figuratively) about his takes! Alongside his Timberwolves wishlist the gang preview the rest of the division: When will Dame and the Blazers back up their big talk with big game? Do the Thunder keep riding with what they've got or go into a full rebuild? And Angus delivers his famous Utah J...

Spurs lover Nic "Visser" Visser joins the fellas to preview the Texas and friends division. How do the Spurs bounce back from missing the playoffs for the first time in 23 years? Can the Pels make good on their raw and talented young squad? And what do you do with a problem like James Harden?

The Gundy-stans are joined by Lakers diehard and hip-hop sensation Pascal Ducasse to discuss how the Lakers position themselves to go back-to-back, what went wrong (more like what didn't) with the Clippers and Kyle Kuzma's MVP-calibre season.

The pod is joined by The Deep Two NBA Podcast's Sean Carroll, Dante Boffa and Alessio Conte previewing the rest of the deadly Pacific division - can the Warriors bounce straight back to championship contention, will the Suns replicate their feats of glory from the Bubble, and what on Earth would compel someone to go for Sacramento?

Lukas and Marco introduce themselves, the show, go through their favourite moments from the never-ending 2019-20 season and play some games?
