On Thursday's No Dunks podcast, the guys breakdown and grade ALL of the NBA trade deadline deals. Will the Heat, 76ers, or Lakers regret striking out on landing Kyle Lowry? Was Oladipo a nice backup plan for Miami? Did the Magic get enough in return for Vucevic, Fournier, and Aaron Gordon? Are the Bulls back now that they have two All-Stars? How much of an upgrade is Norman Powell over Gary Trent Jr. for the Blazers? What does Leigh think of Playoff Rondo helping the Clippers' title run? That, plus thoughts on all of the day's minor moves, including J.J. Redick, George Hill, Delon Wright, and others.

Will the Knicks be buyers at the trade deadline? Has John Collins taken himself off the market? Is Orlando's Aaron Gordon hurting his trade value? Do the Lakers make a move considering LeBron James and Anthony Davis are out? Zion Williamson passes LeBron's youthful achievement, Evan Fournier isn't "playing", the Brooklyn Nets aren't fair, Kendrick Nunn could be playing himself into a trade, and Steph Curry's unique injury.

On Mon.'s ep. of No Dunks, the guys discuss LeBron's high ankle sprain, whether it was a dirty or reckless play by Solomon Hill, and how far the Lakers could fall in the standings? Then they share some NBA weekend winners — Blake Griffin's Nets debut, P.J. Tucker's Bucks debut, Chris Paul's 10,000th assist, Keldon Johnson's BIG BEEF, etc. — and losers — LaMelo Ball's Rookie of the Year chances after fracturing his wrist, the Raptors' 8-game losing streak, the Heat's M.I.A. three-point shooting, etc. That, plus our stupidest injuries, Trey's Pick 'Em Payoff, allergy season, and more.
