The Best Moves of the NBA Trade Deadline
Episode Notes
In the first of a two-part episode covering the flurry of recent NBA transactions, the gang discusses some of the best trades made by NBA teams before the trade deadline. Which teams improved the most? Will these moves impact this year's playoffs? And what is going on with Kyle Lowry and Toronto?

15:24 - The gang marvels at Pat Riley somehow managing to add Victor Oladipo, Nemanja Bjelica, and Trevor Ariza to a talented Miami Heat squad that was just in the NBA Finals. Do these moves make the Miami Heat legitimate contenders in the Eastern Conference?
19:24 - Did the Chicago Bulls make the right decision in trading lightly protected future assets to acquire All Star center Nicola Vucevic?
25:32 - The gang discusses the Denver Nuggets adding Aaron Gordon and Javale McGee. Will these moves vault Denver to the top of the Western Conference?
