Luka’s Wilt-Like Start, Mikal Bridges Trade Talk and Why the Warriors Aren’t for Real

Is Luka Dončić putting up Wilt Chamberlain numbers? Jose Salviati of thePeachBasket.net and Steve Purciello of Celtic Chalk Talk get 24 minutes to work through Steve’s latest 13 Rules random NBA thoughts column.

In this episode:

• Luka’s rarefied air: 40.1 points per game through eight games, a 53-point night, and an elite defensive number. Can he keep it up once teams start doubling him?
• The Knicks’ money crunch: The defending champs are 5-4. With James Dolan avoiding the second apron, is Mikal Bridges the odd man out? Also, why veteran benches are the new trend.
• Knecht over Bronny: Why the Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James and let Dalton Knecht go to New York is a head-scratcher.
• Kristaps Porziņģis steps away: A look back at the original unicorn as his health issues sideline him from the Warriors.
• Miami’s old-school bet: Does pairing Giannis and Bam still work in today’s athletic NBA? And the Big Three comparison that settled the debate.
• Doc Rivers on Giannis: Why Giannis wanted out of Milwaukee but wouldn’t say so, and what it cost the Bucks.
• Pumping the brakes on Golden State: Steph Curry and Yaxel Lendeborg are fun, but Steve sees a 6th or 7th seed.📖 Read Steve’s full 13 Rules column at thePeachBasket.net
