Jason discusses why 76ers fans don't have much reason to be upset with Simmons' departure, and how it doesn't compare with LeBron James leaving the Cavaliers for the Heat in 2010. Later (20:00) Jason Timpf answers listener questions including whether LeBron James and the Lakers will trade Russell Westbrook or keep him for the season, who needs to step up to help Steph Curry and the Warriors, how the Mavericks can make their offense less Luka Doncic-centric, if Paul George is an underrated player, how the Miami Heat can turn around their season, and more from around the NBA. #Volume
