Show Notes
On today's episode, Jason and Producer Rob G bring you wall-to-wall conversation on Thursday's NBA Trade Deadline. Rumor has it that Toronto Raptors point guard Kyle Lowry is the biggest name that could be on the move, but is that really saying all that much? Before Kawhi Leonard came to down, Lowry was seen as a choke artist in the playoffs. Teams like the the Los Angeles Lakers, Philadelphia 76ers and Miami Heat better think twice before trading for him. Speaking of point guards, the New Orleans Pelicans are reportedly listening to offers for Lonzo Ball. Jason and Rob G are split on Ball's long-term potential. Is he the long-range sniper we've seen recently in New Orleans or the brick house we saw back in Los Angeles? Either way, the Pelicans don't seem inclined to pay him the $20 million per year he's looking for and that may be the biggest reason why he ultimately gets dealt. In the Eastern Conference, all eyes are on the Boston Celtics. Would the talent upgrade in a trade for Aaron Gordon and Evan Fournier be enough to offset the leadership that Marcus Smart provides? If the Celtics-Magic deal goes down as expected, the Celtics could either be one step closer to challenging the Brooklyn Nets or one step closer to a locker room meltdown.
