Our long national nightmare is over, as John Collins has actually been traded! We discuss the fascinating and evolving dynamics around trading underperforming salaries, what the Jazz look like now, and why the Hawks needed to do this move.

We also hit on the latest free agency rumors, plus an interesting argument about whether the NBA should allow sovereign wealth funds to invest.

Then, two heavy-hitters this offseason. Toronto has Fred VanVleet and Jakob Poeltl as free agents, plus a number of key extension-eligible players. The pick they owe in the future also complicates matters.

What do we expect Cam Johnson to re-sign for in Brooklyn? Does it make sense to trade for Damian Lillard?
