The LeBron James Final Decision has finally dropped and the King is now in Philadelphia! Chris and Lyndsay return to breakdown LeBron's decision to go to the City of Brotherly Love, what that means on and off the court, and where that puts the Sixers in a revamped and deep Eastern Conference. After wrapping on LeBron, they discuss All-Star, the Stud Budz, Marina Mabrey's meaningful gesture during the Allie Quigley Invitational 3pt Contest, Sophie Cunningham and her transphobic/hateful comments and the W's response (or lack thereof), the brother/sisterhood in professional sports, and why Skeletor (Adam Silver) needs to make sure the Portland Trailblazers stay in Portland.

Chris and Lyndsay are back, joined by Imman from the Dishes and Dimes podcast to discuss the latest news in the league(s). They discuss LeBron's continuing free agency, Kawhi's pending status as a Raptor and the nightmare fuel provided by the investigation, and LaMelo Ball's choices in tattoos before assessing what's wrong with the Mercury and giving Marina Mabrey her flowers.  Follow Dishes and Dimes on Twitter and Instagram @dishesdimespod Follow us on Instagram and TikTok @wineanddimepod

It's officially NBA trade season and there have already been some tectonic shifts. Giannis is finally on the move after the most arduous trade saga in recent memory. LaMelo is, shockingly, a Timberwolf. And everybody - even some teams who aren't that good! - is tying themselves in knots to make sure the Knicks don't repeat as champions.  Wine Pairing: A to Z Wineworks Pinot Noir 2022 (Oregon)  Follow us on social media: @wineanddimepod

Chris and Lyndsay are back to discuss THE New York Knickerbockers as your 2026 NBA Champions.

On this episode of Wine & Dime, Chris and Lyndsay are back with some Spanish wine to discuss all things WNBA and NBA playoffs. They begin with the messy start in Dallas, the surprising (and once again kind of depressing) Chicago Sky, Portland's atmosphere being fire, and the impact of international scouting being apparent so far in teams like Phoenix and Toronto. They close the episode by declaring the Sixers frauds, attempting to figure out the path forward in Minnesota, recapping Spurs/Thunder and previewing Knicks/Cavaliers.  Wine Pairing: Ego Bodegas "El Goru" Jumilla 2022 (Spain) Follow us @wineandimepod on Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok

Happy WNBA season to all who celebrate, the season is finally here!

They finish the episode with some NBA playoff thoughts, including the Knicks beating up on Philly, and fraud watch in Houston and Cleveland.  Find Christan's work on Twitter and Instagram @christanwnba Wine Pairing: Henry of Pelham Old Vines Baco Noir Ontario VQA 2025 Follow us @wineanddimepod on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter

A lot has happened since the gang last recorded, and with the WNBA Expansion Draft coming soon, Chris and Lyndsay cracked open some Sicilian wine and dug. They kick off the episode with amateur GM hours and do a mock expansion draft with Lyndsay picking for the Tempo and Chris for the Fire. They wrap up with a discussion about the next generation of NCAA WBB coaches and who is waiting to take the torch from Geno and Dawn (if anyone), the G League's strange playoff format, and an ode to the Round Mound of Rebound, Charles Barkley.  Wine Pairing: Cusumano Nero D'Avola Sicilia DOC (Sicily, Italy)  Follow on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter @wineanddimepod

It's the stretch run of the NBA season where the story has been the tank race rather than the playoff race so Chris and Lyndsay are back with some Spanish Garnacha to chat about all manners of basketball including the WNBA's continuing labour strife, the success of Unrivaled, whether or not Kim Jong Un can hoop (Baron Trump definitely can't), and why the Atlanta Hawks collab with Magic City is far from the most harmful thing the NBA does to women.  Wine Pairing: Bodegas Borsao Tres Piccos Garnacha 2021 (Spain) Follow us @wineanddimepod on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube
