The nerds are joined by Tyler from Hoop Venue to discuss the blockbuster NBA trades from over the weekend! They break down how the San Antonio Spurs won big by getting De’Aaron Fox to pair with Victor Wembanyama, how the Sacramento Kings hope to straddle timelines with Zach LaVine, and what to make of the Chicago Bulls’ role in it all. They also struggle to unpack the all-time catastrophe that is the Dallas Mavericks trading away Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers and discuss which teams have the brightest future in the Western Conference between the Lakers, Spurs, Houston Rockets and OKC Thunder.
