The Dunker Spot

We're a couple of days away from the NBA trade deadline, and things
are heating up. Could James Harden (and Darius Garland) be on the
move? The guys discuss the latest there, as well as give their initial
thoughts on the three-team trade involving the Cavs, Kings, and Bulls.
From there, the guys discuss the biggest (or most interesting)
defensive trends and tactics across the league. Among the things
brought up: a rise of full-court pressure, increased willingness to
send help (or switch!) from the strong side corner, and funky zone
defenses from teams like the Lakers and Timberwolves
Finally, they close by recapping the weekend slate of Unrivaled
games, including a historic outing in Philadelphia. They discuss the record-breaking attendance and what it means, salute the shot making
of Marina Mabrey, and bounce around with some general team thoughts.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is reportedly "ready for a new home" -- which opens a host of questions. Should the Bucks move him? If so, how soon,
and who makes sense for him? Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones Jr. discuss it all.

From there, the guys talk about the very-good-but-kinda-flawed Houston Rockets. From the budding Kevin Durant-Alperen Sengun two-man game, to the highs and lows of the Amen Thompson experience, to the importance of role guys like Reed Sheppard and Jabari Smith.

Finally, they close by previewing the upcoming slate of Unrivaled games. Friday's slate will be played in Philadelphia, the first time Unrivaled has taken its show on the road! The guys talk about those matchups, as well as some interesting lineup and advanced data through
the early portion of the season.
