On today’s episode, Jason discusses why he was so taken aback that the Indiana Pacers would dump Myles Turner - their longest tenured player on the roster - after coming just one win short of an NBA championship, why it feels like the Milwaukee Bucks' flurry of moves on Tuesday are just delaying the inevitable Giannis Antetokounmpo trade demand, where the Bucks rank in the Eastern Conference hierarchy with the addition of Turner, what's next for Damian Lillard now that he's a free agent, and why J-Mac's Men's League is suddenly the hottest ticket in town.

On today’s episode, Jason discusses LeBron James' latest passive-aggressive comments aimed at the Los Angeles Lakers front office, whether it's fair to say that the Lakers are incapable of building a championship-level roster around LeBron and Luka Doncic, why the Cleveland Cavaliers and New York Knicks feel like the most likely destinations if LeBron does indeed ask for a trade, and what potential Cavs/Knicks trade offers would make the most sense for all parties involved.
