With less than a month remaining in the regular season, we check in on the biggest moves from last month's trade deadline to see how they're impacting the players and teams involved.

Ja Morant needs to be held accountable in order to get past this, Zion Williamson's latest setback is only one of a long list of Western Conference injuries, and the Knicks are ... cool?! Plus will the Warriors actually miss the playoffs, and who should Sixers fans be hoping for in the second round?

After a hiatus, we catch up on a wild week of post-All-Star happenings, including Kevin Durant's debut in Phoenix, the Quin Snyder fit in Atlanta, LeBron James' foot injury and the fanciful prospect of the full-strength Lakers, the Bucks' 16-game winning streak, the Blazers' disappointing season in spite of Damian Lillard's offensive heroics, the race for the four All-Defensive forward spots, and the fraudulence of the Clippers

The Athletic's Jeff Schultz joins the show to discuss the Hawks' firing of Nate McMillan, what went wrong, and what comes next in Atlanta. Should Hawks fans be concerned about Trae Young's future?

With the dust settled after a wild trade deadline week, we take stock of the landscape of the league, wonder what pitfalls the all-in Suns might encounter, scratch our heads at the Raptors buying instead of selling, applaud the Lakers' upgrades and medium-term balancing act, and rank the rest of the contenders in the West.

Making sense of the Kyrie Irving blockbuster from both Dallas' and Brooklyn's perspective. In addition, what do the Warriors' postseason hopes look like in light of Steph Curry's latest injury?

We break down the implications of Myles Turner's renegotiation and extension with the Pacers, and why we think it's more of a home-run deal for Indiana than for Turner himself. Then, we wonder whether Kawhi Leonard's resurgence is enough to propel the Clippers back into title contention, or whether they still need to make a big move at the trade deadline. Finally, assorted thoughts on the injured and scuffling Pelicans and Grizzlies, and a make-or-miss segment on balanced All-NBA teams, the Suns' flickering hopes, and the Jokic-Embiid MVP-ballot duopoly.

The You Know Ball podcast's Trill joins the show to help us break down the Sixers' hot streak. Then we discuss what the Raptors should do at the trade deadline, and make sense of the Rui Hachimura trade from the perspectives of both Los Angeles and Washington.

We make our annual Eastern and Western Conference All-Star selections, parsing the insanely stacked guard crop in the West, the equally crowded frontcourt field in the East, Shai vs. Steph, Giannis vs. Embiid, Jaylen vs. Haliburton, Brunson vs. Randle, Trae's absence, and much more.

Digging into the Thunder, Trail Blazers, Timberwolves, Clippers, Warriors, Suns, and Jazz, who are just seven of the nine West teams currently separated by only three games between fifth place and 13th. In addition, will OG Anunoby be traded, and is James Harden at risk of missing out on an All-Star spot?
