Hird It Here NBA PodcastIs the G League Ignite a Failure?Adam Silver made some slightly surprising comments a couple weeks ago regarding the current state of the G League Ignite program, and prospect development overall. I go over some of the ramifications of his comments, and tried to fairly judge whether the G League Ignite program has been more or less successful at preparing its prospects for the NBA. I compare to situations like the NBL's Next Stars program, OTE, Prep School, and prospects like Darius Garland and Michael Porter Jr. who missed their year of college before going pro. Overall, do I think...2024-03-1558 min

Hird It Here NBA PodcastSidy Cissoko + Spurs PropagandaHey folks! Today I was lucky enough to have TWO phenomenal guests to talk about the San Antonio Spurs draft - Evan Townsend (@EvanTownsend_) and Mike Garcia (@CanyonDriver)!

Hird It Here NBA PodcastVictor Wembanyama's Path to Greatness w/ Evan TownsendHey folks - Evan Townsend (contributor to Project Spurs and kindly cult leader of Spurs Twitter Spaces) was kind enough to join me to talk about the future face of the Spurs franchise, Victor Wembanyama.

I also wrote an article about Wemby and comparing parts of his...2023-06-0758 min

Hird It Here NBA Podcast2023 NBA Draft: The TwentyThe Twenty is a concept I stole from John Hollinger and his concept that approximately 20 players in a given NBA Draft will make a significant impact in the league. The goal of The Twenty is pretty simple - identify the 20 players eligible for the 2023 NBA Draft that I am most confident will contribute to winning in the league. Now less than 20 days from the draft, there's very little room for movement within The Twenty - who makes the penultimate cut?2023-06-0346 min

This episode, I wanted to explore the "What If" scenario that really prompted this concept over two years ago - what if Gordon Hayward hadn't signed with Boston? For this exercise, I decided not to simulate the i...2020-01-181h 15

In this second part of my initial NBA Trade Season series, I delve even deeper into the trade market that is beginning to open up this year, picking out a number of players I could see as potential trade pieces this season. In this episode, I ended up spending (too) much of the time on Philly, a team I believe is going to be very active on the market this year. While most of the podcast focused on the 6ers, I thought it was really helpful to go in-depth on them, as it established the population of...2019-12-311h 13
