Episode notes
Avoid Trading AD—Give It Time
- On Anthony Davis, Stephen Jackson advises the Mavericks to push through this season rather than trade him.
- He reasons Davis' ceiling and the possibility of Kyrie's return make patience preferable.
Keep Kawhi If Healthy
- Kawhi remains invaluable when healthy despite team struggles; his two-way impact matters more than season record.
- The hosts argue keeping Kawhi is preferable to chasing short-term fixes.
Pivot Trae Young For A Better Fit
- They recommend trading Trae Young away because Atlanta has younger two-way options.
- Mad Max specifically suggests moving Trae for a better team fit like Houston.
