Chris, what's going to happen on a scale of one to ten between now and three o'clock

Eastern, how active is the NBA trade deadline going to be?

I think it's going to be pretty active, especially around the fringes.

There are a number of kind of role players that are still in play.

There's a lot of intrigue about what the rockets are going to do.

I mean, they've got a roster slot and about the ability to take on almost $12 million in salary

and a general manager who ranks the most aggressive in the league.

So that's something that Bear's watching and what the Nick's decided to do with Marcus Mars is probably

the most interesting, largely because it could come down to the Lakers of the Clippers,

two teams that certainly need back kind of upgrade.

So who do you think gets him?

Do you think the Nick's move him and if so, who should be favored the Lakers of the Clippers?

Yeah, I think the Nick's absolutely move him.

It just makes no sense then to hold on to a guy who's going to be free age in the end of the year,

especially when they can get real quality back in return.

Look, to me, Marcus Mars has always been the Clippers to lose.

They have the ready-made package.

They can deal a first round draft pick this year.

The Lakers cannot.

They've got Moharcliffe's contract.
