Welcome to the first edition of Pros and Kaans, where a pro is joined by a Kaan (The Mob's very own) and they talk about the pros and cons of different topics around the league. For the first guest, it only made sense to bring in Chicago Bulls expert,Stephen Noh from The Athletic, to talk Chicago basketball with our own Chicagoan Kaan. They break down the offense, the defense, and touch on every player on the Bulls roster.

The MTD crew is back at it again with the Sacramento Kings. The Kings have cap space and no pick, so it makes them an interesting target for salary dumps, among other things.

Rarely do we get to discuss trades with the Warriors, but with all the drama circling around them lately we thought there was never going to be a better time. Kaan takes the role of Bob Myers and tries to see what he can get for some of his core pieces in the trade market. Even though the Golden State will most likely not look to trade there main pieces mid season, it's still valuable to see what kind of options they might have on the table. Dj and Sydney join in to make life hard for GM Kaan, but a deal does actually get done in the end. Hope you enjoy.You can follow us on on Twitter @TheBenchMobNBALearn more about your ad choices.
