We have a special guest this week! Ryan Katwaroo shares his exclusive insights on his home team, the Orlando Magic and gives us a detailed breakdown on how the Magic have been doing and how he expects them to proceed in the future. Ryan also helps the crew breakdown some interesting trade propositions bouncing around the rumor-mill. We analyze and dissect to give our personal take on whether some big and surprising names such as Kevin Love, Kyle Kuzma, Andre Drummond, Nikola Vucevic, and Evan Fournier should move from their team. Also, should the Heat take advantage of their unexpected success and make a move to become more competitive in the post-season? Finally, the Magic are in a similar position with Playoff aspirations, but fans are starting to wonder whether this roster can be upgraded for further success. Should they blow up the team and build around their new young talent?

Heat and Magic Assist Episode 5: NBA Trade Special

We begin the week’s review with a follow-up to last week’s topic about Harden’s miscalled dunk against the Spurs and their request to have the game replayed which was denied by the Spurs. Kawhi Leonard receives his Championship ring against his first game back to Toronto. Is he worthy of being a Raptors Hall-of-Famer despite being a Raptor for only one year? David Fizdale is fired from the Knicks but that really is not a surprise. We review the epic comeback by the Heat against the Hawks, including career highs by numerous Heat players, including Bam Adebayo, Duncan Robinson, and Kendrick Nunn. We also discuss Jimmy Butler’s worth and value to the Heat, but is he already being overplayed? The Magic had an important win against another up-and-comer in the Phoenix Suns, another victory in Cleveland, but unable to stop Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. We review the Magic’s tough upcoming December schedule.

David touches up on Timofey Mozgov’s salary being stretched out and its implications for future cap flexibility for the Magic. Speaking of the Magic, we reviewed Orlando’s successful week, but concerns loom around Aaron Gordon’s recent lack of productivity. The Miami Heat are also on the heels of a great performing week and we explain the secret to their unexpected success. For both Jimmy Butler fans and haters, you will want to listen to this.

In this week’s episode we share our thoughts on the newly proposed NBA regular season schedule and how its changes to the playoff seedings may or may not be a benefit to fans. The Chicago Bulls seems to be under-performing and friction between the team’s star player and head coach may be the cause. We re-analyze the Bulls chances for success for this season. Next, we look into the Heat’s performance against the 76ers and speculate about the absence of James Johnson who has yet to enter the teams rotation despite being healthy. Despite a successful week for the Heat, there are still questionable performances that leave much to be desired. The Magic unfortunately went through two tough injuries sustained by the team’s two best players and thus had a lackluster road trip.
