On today's pod Shwin is joined by Cranjis McBasketball to discuss the Lakers' Russell Westbrook conundrum, what trade options could be available to them in order to move him, how much leverage does LeBron James have with his looming extension deadline, how does Jalen Brunson fit with the Knicks and does he possess All-Star upside, Donovan Mitchell and is his fit alongside Brunson actually problematic, are lineup concerns in the event of a Mitchell trade with Randle being overblown, what does the data say about the star upside of Immanuel Quickley and RJ Barrett, and much more!
