  1. TRADE DEADLINE

    TRADE DEADLINE

    Superstar NBA contracts and trades are often driven by ego, entitlement, and legacy chasing — and they don’t always end well. On this episode of Straight Game Podcast, Mike Bibby, Eddie House, and Ty Ellis break down the real stories behind high-stakes moves, exposing the strategy, locker-room dynamics, and hidden costs of superstar decisions. The crew dives into James Harden’s recent move to Cleveland — looking beyond basketball to contract leverage, lifestyle factors, team fit, and potential chemistry impacts, including how it affects roster balance and roles. They also unpack the psychology of professionalism in today’s league — why some stars sustain credibility while others fall into entitlement traps — and how those behaviors shape team culture and the next generation of players. If you want insight into what actually happens behind closed doors — negotiations, egos, and calculated moves that reshape the league — this episode delivers perspective you won’t hear in headlines. 🌟 Like & Subscribe Today! 🌟 🎙️ Catch the Straight Game Podcast on all podcast platforms!  📲 Connect with Straight Game:  📸 [Instagram](https://instagram.com/straightgame.podcast)  🐦 [X](https://x.com/straightgamepod)  🎵 [TikTok](https://tiktok.com/@straightgamepod1)  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
