Spotify OGs, you've always been here first. Now everybody catches up together.**Note: Later in the episode you may notice a hard edit. A topic was broached that did not feel like it fit this shows topic and included a player collectively we don't think needs discussed or to give any power or search engine juice to bring attention to, even if it denounces behavior or other. None of us are journalists and we are not owned or influenced by any entity other than our own standards. We apologize for not releasing this content, but in the best interest of transparency, we wanted you (our fans) to know it happened. In the future we may discuss the player in question, but it needs more time than a sound bite and is a very nuanced conversation. We are not here to be a click bait show. All the best, Generations Team**The Minnesota Timberwolves just blew up their roster to get LaMelo Ball. So Steve, Jonathan, and Mark did what they always do — used one current trade to open the door on the greatest trades in sports history, and somehow ended up debating Wilt Chamberlain, Herschel Walker, Pedro Martinez, Randy Moss for a fourth-round pick, and Giannis heading to Miami.🏀 Wilt Engineers His Own Trade — 1968No free agency. No leverage. Unless you're Wilt. He threatened to jump to the ABA if the Sixers didn't move him to the Lakers. They moved him. The first superstar to force his own trade — 40 years before it became routine.🏀 The T-Wolves Go for SpeedCan LaMelo Ball and Anthony Edwards actually share a backcourt? Jonathan isn't sure two ball-dominant guards can coexist without one standing in the corner. Mark sees a blueprint — the Knicks needed two ball handlers against the Spurs, and that's exactly what Minnesota is building. Steve just likes that they tried something different.🏀 The Worst Trade in NBA HistoryKevin Garnett and Paul Pierce to Brooklyn. The Nets wanted names and ticket sales. The Celtics wanted picks. Those picks became Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and three championships. Steve calls it the worst trade in NBA history. Jonathan says the Clippers giving up SGA for Paul George is right there with it. Both franchises are now cautionary tales.🏈 Herschel Walker — 18 Pieces and a Dynasty18 total players and picks. Herschel goes to Minnesota. The Cowboys get first-round picks that become Emmitt Smith, Russell Maryland, Darren Woodson, and two more championships. Minnesota gets Herschel and a decades-long drought. Jonathan walks through every single piece of the deal.⚾ The Throw-In Who Changed a FranchiseJack Clark gets traded from the Giants to the Cardinals. The throw-in in the deal? A tiny shortstop from the Dominican Republic named Jose Uribe, whose defensive metrics from 1986 to 1990 stacked up against Ozzie Smith's. He anchored the Giants defense and helped keep the team in San Francisco.Also: Randy Moss for a fourth-round pick. Pedro Martinez for Delino DeShields. Paul Konerko given away by the Dodgers. Ryne Sandberg as a throwaway. The Kareem trade. The Adrian Dantley–Mark Aguirre swap and why Dantley is still mad. LaMelo vs. Penny Hardaway on draft night. And Giannis to Miami — smart move or too many pieces given up?New episodes every Saturday at noon.
