In this episode Jaryd and Jonathan open the show discussing LeBron's high ankle sprain and how it will affect the Lakers in the standings as well as how they will approach the trade deadline. Then they give their thoughts on who will win MVP now that both early season front-runners Joel Embiid and LeBron James have suffered injuries that will keep them out for weeks (13:05). They also reminisce on the year of LaMelo Ball after Charlotte announced the rookie suffered a season ending wrist fracture in Los Angeles against the Clippers and discuss how this will impact his chance to win Rookie of the Year (19:47). They close the show recklessly speculating where top trade targets including Kyle Lowry (26:33), Aaron Gordon (31:51), and Lonzo Ball (37:41) will land before Thursday's trade deadline.
