In episode six of the third season of the Swish List Podcast, the hosts cover LaMelo Ball's openness to being traded from the Charlotte Hornets and his struggles this season. They discuss potential NBA rule changes, like removing charging calls on dunks and modifying challenge rules. Austin Reeves receives an apology from the hosts for underestimating his skills as he emerges as a top second option in the league. The episode also debates who is the most all-star-ready role player in the NBA currently, highlights breakout performances by Cooper Flagg and Norman Powell, and reviews the tumultuous state of the Bulls. The conversation includes comparisons between prime Dwyane Wade and current NBA players like Anthony Edwards and considers if Nikola Jokic is the most complete player LeBron James has ever faced.
