Evan and Aaron begin the episode by diving into the ever so lightly covered Giannis trade drama. They then wade into the waters of the Robert Pera story (19:56), as covered by Sam Koppelman on Pablo Torre Finds Out, and the challenges Adam Silver faces in governing a new group of owners with such immense financial power and influence.
In 3-Up/3-Down (35:31), the guys discuss the Orlando Magic and their continued trend of three-point inefficiency (35:45); the Charlotte Hornets as the league’s current offensive fun bunch (41:35); the Oklahoma City Thunder’s recent swoon (51:04); Joel Embiid returning to dominant form (1:00:06); calves plaguing the league this season (1:05:24); and Kawhi Leonard being back to full Terminator Kawhi (1:07:58).
Finally, the guys touch on the trade that went down between the Sacramento Kings and Cleveland Cavaliers (1:08:00).
