On this episode of the Heat Check, Trysta breaks down a packed week in the NBA — from the intensity of the NBA Cup, to the alarming wave of injuries sweeping across the league. She dives into Pat Spencer’s unlikely breakout, the Detroit Pistons’ surprising depth, and Cooper Flagg’s record-breaking start to his rookie season.

Trysta also unpacks the ongoing conversation around LeBron James’s complicated legacy in LA, Jonathan Kaminga’s uncertain standing with the Warriors, and how Derek Lively’s injury could reshape the Mavs’ outlook.

They talk potential trade destinations, how realistic a move actually is, what the Bucks can get in a trade, and why a return to Greece later in his career may factor into his decisions. Then, Trysta and Keith react to the Chris Paul saga in L.A., as the Clippers send CP3 home and chaos continues to surround the organization.
