Free Agency Frenzy: Dame Waived, Turner to the Bucks, and LeBron’s Unhappy? | Real Ones Jul 01, 2025

Show notes

Logan and Raja are back with the free agency edition of Real Ones. Myles Turner is officially headed to the Bucks, and Damian Lillard has been waived by the team. What’s the future for Dame? The Nuggets traded Michael Porter Jr. to Brooklyn for Cam Johnson and a 2032 first-round pick. They also brought back Bruce Brown, who helped them win a championship in 2023. Have the Nuggets jumped back into contender status? The Hawks made a ton of moves as well. Have they shot up in the Eastern Conference hierarchy? Word on the street is that LeBron isn't happy that the Lakers aren't building around him. Is this a sign that the Lakers have officially shifted their focus to Luka? Plus, a deep mailbag!

Is Ace Playing His Cards Right? Plus, Raja’s Richter Scale for Recent Trades. | Real Ones Jun 27, 2025

Show notes

Logan Murdock and Raja Bell discuss the first round of the 2025 NBA draft and in particular the Ace Bailey story. Ace didn't work out for any teams before the draft and landed with the Utah Jazz at no. 5. Did Ace make the right decision by not working out for teams and still ending up as a top-five pick? Raja questions the mentality of some of the young athletes who make demands before proving anything. The guys quickly touch on V.J. Edgecombe going to the Sixers at 3, his post-draft interview, and the mentality he'll bring to Philly. Then they go to Raja’s Richter scale for the recent trades. How does he feel about the Boston-Portland trade involving Jrue Holiday and the Pelicans-Wizards trade involving CJ McCollum and Jordan Poole? Plus, Real One of the Week!

Pacers Annihilate Thunder In Game 6. Game 7, Here We Come! | Real Ones Jun 20, 2025

Show notes

Logan is joined by The Ringer's Tyler Parker (Oklahoma native and Thunder fan) to discuss the dismantling that was Game 6. The Thunder looked great in the very early portion of the game, but things unraveled for them very quickly. What did the Pacers do to make the high-powered Thunder offense look pedestrian. Has the media overdone it with player comps after OKC’s Jalen Williams was getting compared to Scottie Pippen? Is there a world where TJ McConnell could be the Finals MVP? If the Thunder lose on Sunday, could this shake up their very young core similar to the past with Durant, Harden and Westbrook?
