    The Horoscope Says Crises
    Feb 16 2026
    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? Why is Andrew so intrigued in this particular season by the Most Improved Award race with such a deep pool? Adam also discusses the very real possibility of third or fourth options winning MVP and All-NBA honors by default due to DNP's by superstars. So suit up and take it out in episode 379 with the NBA-Team!

  • The Vultures Are Circling

    The Vultures Are Circling
    Feb 9 2026
    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 this week to give out grades for each team, talk about the reality of the second apron blues for playoffs teams, and why play-in purgatory seems like the one place teams do NOT want to be down the stretch. The Chicago Bulls finally made big roster changes, but why did all they pick up were guards? Why do Adam and Andrew disagree about what the Utah Jazz (by acquiring Jaren Jackson Jr.) are trying to do? Did the Atlanta Hawks get worse in the short term but have a bright future in the long term? If you're Steph Curry, is it time to ask out of Golden State? Andrew and Adam also talk about playoff teams standing pat, expiring contracts on the move, the dreaded 'player to be named later,' and more! So suit up and take it out in 378 with the NBA-Team!

    Sell Low Sweet Chariot
    Feb 5 2026
    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 needle movers, but hey, we love this time of year. Enjoy!

    The storm before the ...even more storm

    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 !

    That Sinking Feeling
    Feb 2 2026
    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 opportunity to make big changes or stand pat. Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, THE NBA-Team, are back with days to go before the deadline to discuss all the possibilities, and some deals that already went down. Why are neither guys that gun-ho about the chances Giannis Antetokounmpo gets traded before the summertime? Will Ja Morant find a happier place now that his days in Memphis are numbered? Who actually has the room to make moves, and why should or shouldn't they? Will the Kings finally blow it up? All this and much more! So suit up and take it out in episode 377 with the NBA-Team!

  • Best NBA on NBC Moments Part 1

    Best NBA on NBC Moments Part 1
    Jan 26 2026
    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 1990 and 2002. In part one, we go from 20 to 11, and let's see how many times M.J. does NOT make the list (You might wind up being surprised!). Was the 1999 lockout-shortened, scoring-depleted season sneakily one of the most memorable post seasons in NBA history? How much did the Knicks and Heat REALLY hate each other? How many times did Charles Smith get that shot blocked? What was Charles Barkley and Allen Iverson's greatest moments on NBC? We discuss all this and much more in Part 1! So suit up your retro unis and take it out with THE NBA-Team!

    Trae's Demands
    Jan 12 2026
    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. for both the Hawks and Wizards. Then we go on a journey of the very first trade during the NBA regular season in the last 8 years and how they go in terms of importance. How many times do we talk about James Harden, player beefs, random Euro clubs, and future firsts in the process? You'll be surprised by the answer! So suit up and trade it out, I mean, take it out in episode 375 with the NBA-Team!
