The NBA trade deadline buzz has escalated quickly since Monday’s show! Max and Rich are here to discuss the latest moves, starting with James Harden heading to Cleveland while Darius Garland heads west to the Clippers (4:55). Why does Max think the Clippers pulled off a heist in broad daylight? Or do both players win in this deal? Rich breaks down what happens behind the scenes leading up to the deadline and when the talks first started. Then, the fellas go around the association, starting with the Cavaliers’ outlook for the rest of the season and beyond, before touching on the Celtics and the Bulls (23:00). Does the NBA hurt when big markets like Chicago are down? Finally, we preview Super Bowl LX. While the lead-up may not have star power, is it a game where a star will be born (41:34)? All this, plus why Pro Football Hall of Fame voters should stop using their ballots to file complaints. And can Max be trusted with any of Rich’s basketball information before Thursday afternoon?
