The first round is in the books, on to the next one! Corban is again joined by NBA/Lakers Analyst Ron Gutterman to break down each series! You know how it go, it's Rambling Time!!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.....the Sacramento Kings are in the playoffs and we are in for a treat. Joining me to break down their first round series against the Golden State Warriors is good friend of the show and loyal Kings fan Erik! In this fun show, we hear some hot takes, X-factors, predictions, and more! Its game time!

It's **officially** playoff time, and Corban brought on good friend and NBA/Lakers Analyst Ron Gutterman to break down each first round series! From the easy matchups to the seven gamers and everything in between, it's Rambling Time!!

This week Corban was one of four different SportsEthos hosts who gathered to talk through their predictions of the playoffs from Play-In game to the NBA Finals! Hosted by the Bird Rights Podcast, this is a fun discussion worth checking out!

In a Roundball Ramble/Roster Reconstruction crossover, I am joined by NBA & FIBA Agent Consultant and Analyst Aaron Pearlstein to talk about this 2023 draft class! We discuss draft philosophy, the stars at the top, sleepers, and so much more! Let's go!

Its March Madness and its BEEN draft season, but before diving deep into some draft coverage we have to build a foundation and for that Corban brought on the great Josh Url and Garrett Bugay to discuss one key component of draft philosophy: BPA or Fit? Enjoy this great discussion and look forward to more thought-provoking and fun basketball philosophy talk!

Let's cut to the chase. Garrett Bugay, Josh Url, and yours truly, breaking down EACH and EVERY trade from the deadline in a massive extravanganza of a pod. Its a must listen...and a damn good one if I may be perfectly honest.

Let's goooooo!!

Friend of the show Josh Url joins the podcast to cover the Northwest Division! We take a brief look at the Nuggets from Josh's perspective (for a deep dive, look at our previous episode with Garrett Bugay) and then go from there through the rest of the division! Let's ramble!

It is the Denver Nuggets next up on our trade guide series as the great Garrett Bugay make his triumphant return into NBA podcasting! We start with a brief discussion of Garrett's experience in the SportsEthos Mock Trade Deadline, then we go into an extensive Nuggets conversation looking at all that is likely with them as we approach the deadline!

Next up in our trade guide series is the Washington Wizards with friend of the show Carthan Farrar! We start with a roster evaluation and then move to a spirited discussion on the team building dtrategy of the Wizards with even some Caron Butler talk! No stone was left untouched in this deep dive on a team that is committed to staying the course, results be danged!

Well, they do say all good things must end, and with that here is the finale of the Roundball Ramble crossover with Steven Bagell of the Bird Rights Pod, where we close out the simulated deadline with our own moves, transactions we found interesting, and how if any of what was done in our own sandbox will make its way to NBA reality!

Happy Tuesday Part four of the mock trade deadline crossover Steven Bagell of the Bird Rights Pod is here, and the guests are aplenty. Let's rock!

Happy Wednesday fam! It is time for part three of my team up with Steven Bagell of the Bird Rights Pod as we bring on guests to discuss the moves they made on our SportsEthos Mock Trade Deadline! Let's go!

CROSSOVER TIME! Rui Hachimura was traded from the Wizards to the Lakers and Corban and Carthan team up to break it all down from every angle in a SportsEthos Crossover Extravangza! 

Happy Monday fine folks! For the second installment of our trade guide series I was happy to be joined by special guest Erik to cover all things Sacramento Kings! We looked into the roster, analyzed potential weaknesses that could be shored up in a move, and much more! Erik is a long suffering Kings fan who really knows his stuff and this was a fun one, so definitely make sure to tune in!
