Luka/AD trade aftermath, All Star Weekend, the BI era is here
This week host Cathryn Naiker is joined by Vivek Jacob and her puppy Zelda. They talk about the initial aftermath of the Luka trade. AD getting hurt, death threats, fans getting kicked out of the building and on the Lakers side will they try to pair him with Giannis in the future? Then they discuss the new all star game format. Who do they think will do well in the dunk contest and 3 point shoot out. Steve Kerr complained that the league doesn’t care about the players rest and only ratings, we discuss if we agree after they are forced to play back to back games before the all star break. Then in our Raptors homer moment, it’s all about Brandon Ingram coming to the team, what do we think of the deal and how much pressure is he putting on the young guys. In our hottie highlight of the week it’s between Jamal Murray’s 55 game and JJ Reddick caught uncontrollably smiling at Luka during a game.
