In this episode, we preview the NBA Trade Deadline with each of us proposing trades that we would like to see that could help teams make a playoff push. We discuss what possible trades there might be for players like Jerami Grant, Russell Westbrook, Domantas Sabonis, and Christian Wood and what the teams will be looking for in return. We also discuss whether or not if the Grizzlies should push to make a trade this season with how well they have played so far this year.

In this episode, we take a look back to see how the situation in Philadelphia has gotten to this point. Ben Simmons currently has not played a game for the Philadelphia 76ers yet this season due to reports of the team wanting to trade him during the off-season after his struggles during the Playoffs last season. We examine how we got here and wonder who should be held accountable for this situation before evaluating the current team and consider what the team's and Ben Simmons' options are moving forward including possible trades for Ben Simmons, which teams should or should not trade for him, and who should the 76ers hope to get in return if they do trade him.
