    New Year, New Stakes: NBA Resolutions + Inside the NBA’s Anti-Tanking Push w/ ESPN’s Kevin Pelton
    Dec 30 2025
    The new year brings new priorities across the NBA, and we kick things off by laying out our 2025 NBA New Year’s Resolutions — bold calls on teams and stars at pivotal crossroads, from roster resets and superstar futures to the mindset shifts we want to see from the league’s top talent.

    Then, ESPN NBA analyst Kevin Pelton joins the show for an in-depth breakdown of the NBA’s renewed anti-tanking push in the wake of recent gambling investigations. Pelton walks us through the league’s updated injury-reporting rules, the information gaps sportsbooks have exploited, and the long-term strategies the NBA is considering to curb late-season manipulation without punishing legitimate rebuilds.

    We also examine how the revamped lottery, transparency measures, and league governance could shape competitive balance moving forward. A timely, thoughtful conversation on NBA integrity, accountability, and the future of team-building — with insight you won’t want to miss.

  • Holiday Hoops & Trade Truths w/ NBA Vet Anthony Marrow

    Holiday Hoops & Trade Truths w/ NBA Vet Anthony Marrow
    Dec 23 2025
    🎙️ Former NBA Vet Anthony Marrow Joins The Baseline NBA Podcast 🏀

    This week on The Baseline NBA Podcast, we’re bringing in a special guest with real league experience — Anthony Marrow, a 10-year NBA veteran and co-host of the Charlotte On The Scene Podcast. Anthony jumps on the mic to give fans an inside-the-league perspective you won’t hear anywhere else.

    We kick things off with our NBA Christmas Day Pick’em, breaking down marquee matchups including Cavs vs Knicks, Spurs vs Thunder, Mavs vs Warriors, Rockets vs Lakers, and Wolves vs Nuggets — predictions, storylines, and what really matters when the spotlight is brightest.

    Then we dive into NBA Trade Season, where Anthony shares what it’s actually like to be in trade rumors, how players handle uncertainty, and his thoughts on Giannis and other potential star movers. Plus, we debate which teams need to make a move now — including the Cavaliers, Nets, Warriors, and Clippers.

    To close the show, we discuss the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame Class of 2026 candidates, reacting to notable new nominees like Candace Parker, Blake Griffin, Jamal Crawford, Elena Delle Donne, Mike D’Antoni, and the 1996 USA Basketball Women’s National Team, along with returning candidates Marv Albert, Doc Rivers, and Amar’e Stoudemire. If you’re looking for real hoops talk, player insight, and unfiltered NBA conversations, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
