Hird It Here NBA Podcast

Adam Silver made some slightly surprising comments a couple weeks ago regarding the current state of the G League Ignite program, and prospect development overall. I go over some of the ramifications of his comments, and tried to fairly judge whether the G League Ignite program has been more or less successful at preparing its prospects for the NBA. I compare to situations like the NBL's Next...

Hey folks! Today I was lucky enough to have TWO phenomenal guests to talk about the San Antonio Spurs draft - Evan Townsend (@EvanTownsend_) and Mike Garcia (@CanyonDriver)! We mostly talked about Alamo City's other new Frenchman, Sidy Cissoko, as well as little time on Wembanyama, the Leonard Miller trade, and a couple minutes on Sir'Jabari Rice and the three Exhibit-10 players signed thu...

Hey folks - Evan Townsend (contributor to Project Spurs and kindly cult leader of Spurs Twitter Spaces) was kind enough to join me to talk about the future face of the Spurs franchise, Victor Wembanyama. We talked a little bit about guys like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ralph Sampson, and Rik Smits as comparisons for the specific skills Wemby has flashed thus far, but mostly just talked about the greatne...

The Twenty is a concept I stole from John Hollinger and his concept that approximately 20 players in a given NBA Draft will make a significant impact in the league. The goal of The Twenty is pretty simple - identify the 20 players eligible for the 2023 NBA Draft that I am most confident will contribute to winning in the league. Now less than 20 days from the draft, there's very little room for...

This obnoxiously long episode marks the long unawaited return of the Hird It Here Sports Podcast!! It's great to be back! This episode I ramble on about three big burning questions I have about Eastern Conference teams; this episode ran awfully long so I split it into just the teams I have projected to finish 10th - 15th in the East. If you value your time I do not recommend listening to this it i...

Welcome back y'all! In this fourth episode in a row covering the NBA trade market, I hit on a couple of the more difficult to decipher teams on the trade market - the New Orleans Pelicans, a team trying to plan the next decade around a player who has yet to step on the court, and the Denver Nuggets, who seem a trade tarket lurking under the radar.

Welcome back y'all! In this second part of my initial NBA Trade Season series, I delve even deeper into the trade market that is beginning to open up this year, picking out a number of players I could see as potential trade pieces this season.
