LaMelo Ball has been traded from Charlotte to Minnesota in exchange for Naz Reid, a 2033 unprotected first-round pick, three first-round pick swaps (2028, 2029, and 2030), and three second-round picks. Logan Murdock and Howard Beck discuss the stunning move, and examine why both teams made the trade. Did Minnesota improve, or did they drop themselves in the Western Conference hierarchy? Plus, the Lakers extended Austin Reaves to a max deal, but was it the right decision? Will Jaylen Brown be a Celtic when next season starts?
