Today, host Cathryn Naiker has special guest, comedian Vong Show (RICE Asian Comedy Showcase) on to discuss the insane NBA trade deadline, including:

• A deep dive on the James Harden - Ben Simmons blockbuster, and the possibility for a Simmons career resurgence in Brooklyn.
• The other big trades of the last week, including CJ McCollum to the Pelicans, Domantas Sabonis to the Kings, and Kristaps Porzingis to the Wizards.
• Just what exactly an NFT art gallery is, and how Mark Cuban met Spencer Dinwiddie there.

In our Raptors Homer Moment, we discuss Goran Dragic finally departing Toronto in a trade for Thaddeus Young, whether swapping a first-rounder for a second was worthwhile, and Young's potential as a mentor for Precious Achiuwa.

And finally, in our Hot Girl Summer Nick Nurse Highlight of the Week, we get to hear Nick sing on the Best Hang podcast, co-hosted by his Arkells BFF Max Kerman, and consider his on-court rotations.
