Following his insane 71 point performance vs. the Chicago Bulls we revisit the trade that sent Donovan Mitchell from the Utah Jazz to the Cleveland Cavaliers. Did the Jazz make a mistake trading Mitchell when they did and for the package that they did or did the trade work for both sides? Also can Nikola Jokic really win three straight MVPs now that the Nuggets are in first place in the Western Conference? Will Sixers fans kill me for talking about this? Tune in to find out. In the middle of this episode we found out that Isaiah Joe and the SGA-less Thunder were killing Sam's Celtics and he tried not to meltdown. Finally we ended the episode talking about my favorite player, Thybulle who should probably be back in the rotation full time and my least favorite coach Doc Rivers who continues to drive me insane with his all bench lineups. Enjoy.

Trill is finally out of health and safety protocols! On this mega episode Sam and Trill discussed a ton of stuff including the Harden back to Houston rumors popping up Christmas morning, Trae Young eventually asking out of Atlanta and the reaction to those rumors, the Sixers long win streak finally ending, the Grizz and Bucks hitting a rough patch and whether they should be concerned, and Kevin Durant & the Nets becoming real contenders?

Our personal hero Bill Simmons released his new NBA trade value list! Just like the last time we did this we talked about the entire thing including what we agreed with, what we disagreed with and the most unhinged parts of the list. Also we discussed a few major people who just missed the last and argued who should have been removed in place of these players. Finally in the Patreon part of the episode trill addresses the Joel Embiid trade comments from his latest interview with Jake Fischer. Enjoy.

SLOP SEASON BEGINS THIS WEEK! To kick it off first we discussed trade rumors that Shams mentioned in his latest article including: Bojan Bogdanavic, Kyle Kuzma, Cam Reddish, Evan Fournier and the Lakers interest in basically all of them. We then talked about the many different directions teams like the Lakers, Nets, Hawks, Heat, Wizards could go and how some teams being asset poor at this deadline could make it hard for contenders wanting to upgrade. We also discussed the usuals who were mentioned including Jae Crowder, John Collins, Joe Harris and Eric Gordon, Victor Oladipo and where they could end up.

December 15th, aka the beginning of slop season, is one week away! To celebrate we run through one trade idea for every NBA team that is a contender & semi-contender right now. First we talked about Brittany Griner being release from prison and the weird reaction to the "trade" that made it happen! We proposed trade ideas for the Suns, Bucks, Nuggets, Nets, Hawks, Sixers (lol), Celtics, Heat, Mavericks, Cavs, Pelicans, and Warriors. Sorry to the Grizzlies and Clippers but your teams are too confusing and deep to come up with trades for right now. Also the Raptors like never make trades. But if you have some trade ideas for those teams comment them below!

Matt aka @PanasonicDX4500 joins us to discuss what is happening with the Sixers as they lost their third in a row during James Harden's awful return post injury. Is Doc back on the hot seat? Should the stars be held accountable? Should Morey get more blame for this team lacking cohesion? Is there anyway out of this or is this the beginning of the end for this era of Sixers basketball? Also: will I have a mental breakdown? The answer to all of these questions & more will be answered!!

We also talked about AD returning to All NBA form, the Lakers gearing up to make trades. Trae Young trying to get his second coach fired and the drama surrounding that. Bill Simmons and Ryen Russillo's ridiculous takes on Trae. And a bunch of other random stuff. Then we will discuss the worst & best moves from this past NBA offseason. Enjoy.

The Celtics can't stop winning and it is killing Trill slowly. They have the number one offense by a wide margin. Old Al Horford just extended for pennies. Jayson Tatum is the betting favorite for MVP on some books. Are they the clear title favorites? Is this sustainable? Will Trill die during this podcast? Will Sam celebrate? Probably.

During the Patreon part of this episode we dive into some quarter season stats that show what team's and player's hot starts might be sustainable and others that might not be sustainable. We talked about the Pacers, Blazers, Pelicans, Raptors, Sixers and some specific players on those teams. Enjoy.

Chicago Bulls optimist Trey Kerby from the No Dunks podcast stopped by to talk about his Bulls weird start to the season. We discussed many things including the dreaded treadmill of mediocrity, who he considers part of the Bulls core, whether he would explore tanking, rebuilding or resetting this year. We then talked about if they could turn the season around by changes to their starting line up or rotation. I also pitched a trade rumor that I heard involving the Bulls and the Lakers, Sam played devil's advocate with the Bulls present and future and we tried to figure out if they could steal a game or two off one of the conference favorites if they reach the playoffs.
