Logan and Howard mf’in Beck are joined by Sam Amick of The Athletic to discuss the Mavericks' recent decisions and the Kings' continuing spiral. Anthony Davis returned for the Mavericks' game against the Nets Monday night in Brooklyn, but should they have just kept him out due to the plethora of other injuries on the team and their standing in the West (3:10)? The Kings are another team clawing for a play-in spot, but the organization has been in disarray for a long time. What steps can they take to finally right the ship (15:46)? Plus, the latest on the MVP race (36:52) and the mailbag (54:01)!
