In this episode, I break down 3 of the biggest NBA storylines from the past week.

1st, I dive into the Dennis Rodman vs Draymond Green debate, comparing their impact, roles, and how we evaluate non-scoring stars across different eras.

Then I look at the possibility of Trae Young being traded to Washington, what it would mean for both teams going forward in the Eastern Conference.

Finally, I close with a breakdown of the growing battle in the East between Cade Cunningham and the Pistons and Jalen Brunson and the Knicks, and what it says about the BEASTS in the EAST!

3 major topics, 1 episode, and a full week’s worth of NBA discussion.

In this episode, I make my early predictions for the 2026 NBA All-Star teams, breaking down who I think is trending toward selection and who might be on the outside looking in.

From established superstars to rising names making a real case, I look at conference dynamics, role changes, team success, and how All-Star narratives typically form as the season unfolds. This isn’t about box-score watching — it’s about context, momentum, and projection.

An early snapshot of where the league could be heading as All-Star season approaches.
