LaMelo Ball and Dejounte Murray are All-Stars. LaMelo Ball has been a prodigy in the making, despite all the noise and hate he’s an All-Star. It’s also easy to forget that LaMelo is only a second-year player. Dejounte Murray is smooth and a true two-way player who has improved his game year over year to this point. Shoutout to Adam Silver for getting it right with his injury replacements.

The Cleveland Cavaliers made a trade for Caris LeVert. Ahmad proclaimed that with this trade, the Cavs are title contenders! The Cavs are good but is this just wishful thinking? It begs the question, can you win a title without a superstar? How should we look at regular-season success in comparison to playoff expectations IE the Utah Jazz.

The New York Knicks…WHAT ARE WE DOING?! The handling of Cam Reddish and Coach Tom Thibodeau is outrageous. Trading for Cam Reddish only for him to waste away on the bench is sad.

Plus bonus trade deadline scenarios!
