This week we spent a few moments memorializing the passing of Sekou Smith on the 1 yr anniversary of losing Kobe and Gianna Bryant in that fatal helicopter crash that took 9 lives. Though 2021 has not offered us any oxygen of optimism, we still found some hope in Utah that their success in the West is great eye candy for the NBA. But is it sustainable? We weigh in on what's going right in Salt Lake.
We also take a look at some of the offseason acquisitions and early season trades that has moved some marquee names over to new teams. Are they panning out? Will they be there by the Trade Deadline? So much to get into. Download and DIscuss with Us
