The NBA-Team Podcast

B-B-B-Bonus Content! Adam provides his thoughts on the recent commentary that the NBA Draft should be scrapped altogether and create a 19 year old NCAA freshman free agent frenzy (spoiler alert: he's against it) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back at it after a less-than-festive All Star Break where the state of the league address by Adam Silver left one of our hosts pessimistic, to say the least. The tanks are already rolling out before we reached the All-Star Game, but is it forcing the league's hand to consider drastic changes or sit idly by while the playoff standings stay in idle? Wh...

As we pass the NBA trade deadline and see at least three certified Hall of Famers get moved, why did a lot of NBA fans feel like an eventful week of trades feel so unfulfilled and pessimistic about teams in tank mode and playoff teams ready to pick off the pieces, but unwilling to give too much away? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back together after Adam held the fort earlier thi...

The Jaren Jackson Jr, Trae Young, Anthony Davis, Nikola Vucevic...and Tyus Jones eras have some to an end, and all sold at appears to be at a loss. Sell Low, that's the new motto! 2nd Round Picks or Bust, right? Adam wraps up the trade deadline (more or less) and lets you know who went where....Indiana made things very interesting, to say the least. Lots of Names tossed around....not a lot of need...

It's another Trade Deadline and after an abnormally slow start, it has gone real sideways real fast. Utah Jazz Buyers?! James Harden had trade value?! Minnesota, what are you doing up there? We're sort of at the halfway point before last call, and Adam gives his quick takes on the first half of this bizarre trading frenzy. Enjoy ! Hosted on Acast.

Now that reality is sinking in for a lot of NBA franchises this season, now is the time, but time for what? Time to get out from that dreaded second tax apron? Time to beef up the roster for that vaunted, non-guaranteed Playoff run? Time to start from scratch and pillage the roster or find some new pillars? One way or another, the trade deadline is coming up in the NBA, and teams have the opportun...

B-B-B-B-B-Basketball!!! While that Roundball Rock theme song hits the ears of NBA fans this year like fine wine, what made the original NBA on NBC such a memorable time other than Michael Jordan and the John Tesh theme? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, have quite a few reasons to discuss in this countdown episode reminiscing about some great Association moments on the Peacock between 19...

The NBA has officially reached the mid-season point and Adam is going to check in on some Vegas overs and unders. Andrew will then take a look at the two teams the NBA sent over to Europe this year - Memphis and Orlando. Lastly, Andrew and Adam have a discussion about the NIL business and the NCAA (hint: not going well......) So, sit back and enjoy ! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more...

The Trae Young Era in Atlanta is officially on ice and being re-heated for the lowly Washington Wizards in the first trade of the 2025-26 NBA regular season, but just because it's the first trade of the season doesn't always mean it will be the most impactful one... right? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back at it to discuss the ramifications of Trae leaving Atlanta to go to D.C....

Before the big Ball dropped on the New Year, the NBA unfortunately rang in 2026 with two of their top centers (Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembenyama) drop to the shelf with knee injuries, and will their inability to play the minimum number of games to earn honors make the NBA rethink the restrictions they put in place years ago for season awards? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back f...

New Year's B-B-B-Bonus Episode! Another lost episode from last year (with a current update). Andrew and Adam discuss players who amazingly have had a career that spanned 1000 games, but never won any post-season awards. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode of the NBA-Team, Adam makes a list for each team's New Year's Resolutions. Do they need to look into the magic 8 ball and search for some clarity (Atlanta...)? Do they hope to have good health for the remainder of the year (Orlando....)? Or do they resolve to get the season over as quick as possible and try again next year (Washington....) Andrew will then either agree or disagree...

It's the holiday season, so hoop-de-do and dickory dock! NBA teams are officially on the clock to see if Santa Claus has the bag of goodies that they had planned for all year long! But did all of the teams really get what they wished on a star for? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, the NBA-Team, are here to see what the Big Gift was planned for every team and if it will be sitting under the tree for t...

The Emirates NBA Cup has reached its final destination in Las Vegas as the New York Knicks take on the San Antonio Spurs, who just beat the dominant Thunder, but if a game doesn't count as a win or loss but with money on the line, will it be a spirited effort? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back together to talk about all the goings on in the knockout rounds, from the injury-curse...

Adam is solo this week sharing his thoughts on this weeks most recent firing (Chris Paul), potential divorce (Giannis), the NBA hard cap, LeBron, and of course FIFA World Cup. Enjoy ! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this special episode, Adam Murray and Andrew Riche dive into the dorms and talk about this season's men's college basketball batch for prospects of the 2026 NBA Draft. Adam does his yearly tradition of running down the top prospects going into the season that NBA scouts may or may not ogle over while Andrew does word salad about how much upside, downside, or NIL money each of them should have....

In a week where the talk of the sports world will be who gets the best draw in the FIFA World Cup (which we discuss) and the College Football Playoff, the NBA Cup is still trying to find its own footing as the knockout rounds are set. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team , are back together after traveling the world (or, at least, one of them did) to play catch-up on the last couple weeks of...

B-B-B-Bonus Episode! Rescued from an old hard drive, this minisode from last year talks about NBA players draft rights who were flipped multiple times, but never made it to the NBA. So treat yourself this holiday weekend and listen to Adam mispronounce every name and Andrew go "who, never heard of him" over and over and over. Enjoy ! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Andrew and Adam find some bright spots for each team early on in the season. Of course this was taped prior to the recent firings/high profile injuries...but those are negatives, so we're just going to overlook that for now. Enjoy ! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's only one month into the season, and we are already seeing pink slips being handed out, verbal shots being fired, and wild endings in the NBA regular season. But is it a lot of loud noises signifying nothing or will they have major ramifications in the league? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, the NBA-Team, are back to round out the news surrounding souring superstars with low morale, the return o...

As the Emirates NBA Cup plays on during the regular season, there are some groups in the East and West that have been more competitive than others. But what if I told you that the NBA Championship will surely come out of two divisions (one in the East and one in the West)? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, The NBA-Team , are back to explain how the Midwest and Northwest Divisions have sneakily dominat...

They say that basketball never stops, and that has been more evident than before in the early going of this NBA regular season, where he who fakes an injury and takes a couple weeks off might lose playing time forever. But The NBA-Team , Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, are in no mood to lose any minutes and are right back at it this week to provide all the knowledge of what we have learned (or think...
