Description

The Ben Simmons trade request finally came out and it's ... a lot to unpack. Returning guest Dave Early from Liberty Ballers and I talked about potential Ben trades and how everything could go down. We then talked about why it is high unlikely that Tyrese Maxey's is actually included in any trades despite the fact that his agency Klutch Sports seems to be using him for leverage. We wondered: will this create a war between the Sixers and Klutch? Dave and I also touched on how the Blazers trade for Larry Nance, Jr. could have influenced the timing of this trade demand ... And why Danny Green's candid conversation with Howard Beck actually makes a lot more sense post Ben Simmons trade demand. Enjoy!
