We have a fun episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!

First, Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones catch up on the latest transaction news in the NBA, headlined by the three-team deal that sent former #1 pick Zaccharie Risacher to the Dallas Mavericks and Lu Dort to the Atlanta Hawks. They then discuss the most interesting free agents available and their ideal fits.

On the WNBA side, the guys discuss the historic pace the Indiana Fever's offense is on, then have a nuanced conversation about the New York Liberty. How much of the Liberty's season is salvageable?

They close with an All-Star discussion: grading the draft between Team Coop and Team Spoon, sharing the lineups and matchups they're most excited about, and debating who should be the Kelsey Plum replacement.
