Former Sports Business Classroom alum Scott Levine joins to dissect the blockbuster Jaylen Brown-Paul George swap. We debate the urgency and impetus for the move before tackling the Jaylen Brown discourse. Knowing what we know now, should they have pushed more chips in for Giannis?

We then examine the Mitchell Robinson addition, and why his presence can help the Celtics maintain the offensive formula that worked so well last season. We also go into how the game is evolving and what is required of rosters moving forward.

Enjoy!

The first ever 4 person pod on Dunkin Dynasty! Josh Url came up with the wonderful idea for a draft where we each select 10 man rosters that include players from the 2015-2024 draft classes. The rules: Only players drafted 15-60 or that went undrafted are eligible to be selected. Once a particular draft year has been added to a roster, that year cannot be selected again.

Fellow Sports Business Classroom alum Franky Nyfenger joined the show to talk about how it feels to be a Mavs fan given the perplexing and befuddling transaction that transpired. We try to wrap our head around Nico Harrison's decision and how he could've come to terms with trading the franchise center piece.
