Will Lou and Alex Wong start off discussing what will need to be replaced on the court and in the locker room with Fred VanVleet’s departure and what direction this team could potentially go in. Keith Pompey of the Philadelphia Inquirer joins to chat about the trade market for James Harden, what it might mean for Joel Embiid, expectations for Nick Nurse, and if he’s ever tried a Crumbl Cookie (28:33). Later, the two chat with Sean Highkin of The Rose Garden Report about a Dame-to-Toronto trade and the Blazers’ previous interest in O.G. Anunoby and Pascal Siakam (51:17). Finally, Sportnset's Michael Grange joins the program to provide a behind-the-scenes look at how Fred ended up in Houston and discuss Pascal Siakam’s future in Toronto (01:24:08).
