Michael Smith from Peacock’s Brother from Another joins the show to talk about the NBA but ends up talking about pretty much everything with Vincent Goodwill.The show starts with a debate over Michael’s favorite D’Angelo album (and his rather personal history with it) before he and Vincent discuss the NBA’s new CBA and the one controversial thing that was left out of it: Allowing high school players to jump straight to the NBA.Later, Vincent and Michael preview the playoffs the best way they know how: Picking matchups (realistic or not) that they would love to see happen in this year’s postseason, including their dream NBA Finals matchup.Finally, Vincent can’t get over the things Victor Wembanyama is doing on the basketball court and he’s wondering how good a player would have to be for an NBA GM to not be willing to trade them for Wembanyama, so we asked Michael Smith that exact question and let him decide.02:30 Brown Sugar or Voodoo?05:15 New CBA: One & Done remains15:15 NBA Playoffs Preview - Series we want to see34:00 Angel Reese vs. Caitlin Clark40:20 NBA Finals Dream Matchup45:20 Victor Wembanyama52:00 Voyage to Atlantis or Footsteps in the Dark?Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Where were you in 2006? Dan and Jake answer that question while considering just how long it has been since the Sacramento Kings last made it to the NBA postseason. They also recap how far the franchise has come since nearly being sold and moved to Seattle.In other NBA news, Kevin Durant returned to the Suns and the numbers say that this is the league’s best team (when everyone is healthy). Are the Suns the only super team left in the West? Does that make them the scariest team heading into the playoffs?The guys do a full breakdown of the Play-In Push™, looking at the teams that are currently headed towards a play-in tournament and a couple teams still on the outside looking in. They spend the longest amount of time on the Miami Heat, who nobody wants to see in the playoffs, and the Oklahoma City Thunder, who are scaring other teams around the league with how quickly they’ve become a playoff team.Finally, Dan explains why the Memphis Grizzlies are even more dangerous after the Ja Morant suspension than they were before it and Jake says that Memphis might have made the best trade of this year’s deadline.02:00 Sacramento Kings clinch 1st playoff berth since 200616:15 Kevin Durant returns to the Suns21:00 The Play-In Push™22:00 Miami Heat26:30 Atlanta Hawks31:00 Toronto Raptors36:00 Washington Wizards39:30 Minnesota Timberwolves40:00 Los Angeles Lakers41:35 New Orleans Pelicans42:45 Oklahoma City Thunder52:20 Vibe Check: Memphis Grizzlies59:00 Tales from the RanchCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Does the return of LeBron James make the Los Angeles Lakers a legitimate title contender? Maybe, but no team is quite as volatile as the Lakers when it comes to their ceiling and floor heading into the postseason. Well, maybe the Minnesota Timberwolves, but Vince has a hot take on where they might be headed this year.Are the Suns deep enough once Kevin Durant returns? Probably not. The guys spend some time discussing who would be Phoenix’s 7th or 8th rotation guy in the postseason and if Suns coach Monty Williams even knows what his playoff lineups will look like.Before the break, the guys discuss the early part of Zion Williamson’s career and compare it to Joel Embiid. What does the future hold for the Pelicans superstar? Will he ever be able to stay healthy? What is his value on the trade market?Speaking of the trade market, the Dallas Mavericks were viewed as a title contender after trading for Kyrie Irving. Now, they’ll be lucky to make it into the playoffs. It’s a disaster years in the making and both Vince and Howard think they know who is to blame.Finally, these two media members talk about the role of media in voting for NBA awards and how it has made relationship-building with players that much more difficult.02:25 Lakers F LeBron James returns from foot injury15:30 Suns F Kevin Durant to return this week25:00 KAT & Anthony Edwards back from injury26:00 Zion Williamson cleared for basketball activities32:00 Comparison: Zion & Embiid38:50 Luka & Kyrie on the Dallas Mavericks49:50 Media voting on NBA awardsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
