In this episode we are going to talk about the blockbuster James Harden trade, will it work out in Brooklyn? Caris Levert going to the Pacers, Oladipo to the Rockets, and we’ll talk about Kyrie Irving’s absence from the Brooklyn Nets. 

After talking about the James Harden trade and Kyrie, we’ll transition to talking about Bradley Beal and Zach Lavine. Are their talents being wasted on bad teams? We’ll also talk about Jerami Grant’s great start with the Pistons, if we’re impressed with OKC, and if Lamelo is the leading candidate for Rookie of the year. 

Then we will finish off the show with our top five MVP rankings so far.
