Big Shot Bob – Ep 199 – The Hair Club Mafia

Rob opens this week’s show from Austin, Texas – as he calls the Texas-Alabama game for Compass Media this week! And we also dive head first into Luka’s debut as an LA Laker, as Rob is still holding out judgement until they face some more serious competition. Rob says it felt like an All-Star game moment at times but Harper feels like it can work with time. We also dive into the wild fans that are throwing death threats at Nico Harrison, the conspiracy theories surrounding the Luka trade out of Dallas, and the unfortunate Anthony Davis injury that went down in his debut game for the Mavericks.   Plus the Dalton Knecht trade that fell through lands squarely on Robert Horry’s radar, because it happened to HIM when he almost got traded to Detroit. Rob talks about how his failed trade really worked for his career and hopes that Dalton’s failed trade has the same positive impact. That of course launches into the Lakers’ need for a big man, and sure enough both Dwight Howard and DeMarcus Cousins both pop up. Jimm Butler’s move to Golden State takes over the conversation, as both Rob and B-Dog really like the move, and even though Golden State is trailing in the standings Rob still feels like a young team like OKC in the Playoffs could pop up and bite them. Plus we are all surprised that Phoenix spent so much time last week trying to move Kevin Durant which may end up being the end of his time with the Suns.   We also get Harper’s break down of the Trae Young situation in Atlanta and how he’ll likely be moved within the next couple of seasons, and everyone has flowers for the Philadelphia Eagles, from the front four to Jalen Hurts. We also dish out a simple but inspiring Big Shot of the Week, and with Rob travelling so much we roll out a round of “Where in the World is Robert Horry?”
