John and Nate level a TOW Missile at the league’s tankers with some novel solutions and evaluation of whether the league’s proposed ideas will work, while discussing if the Jazz’s punishment was fair.
Then a look back at the 2025 Trade Deadline is a year on. Do we think the Luka trade was still a bad deal for the Mavs? How is the De’Aaron Fox trade working out for the Spurs/Kings, and Bulls? We also hit on the Jimmy Butler, Brandon Ingram, De’Andre Hunter and Kyle Kuzma trades, take a look at the rescinded Mark Williams to the Lakers deal, and also Utah acquiring Phoenix’s 2031 unprotected 1st for three ostensibly worse picks.
