| 0:00.0 | All right, Sunday night edition of the pod, we got some trade action to announce here. |
| 0:07.7 | Danny, let's roll it. |
| 0:09.1 | Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to report a trade. |
| 0:16.1 | The larger of the two deals is a three-team transaction where DeAndre Hunter is going from the |
| 0:23.0 | Cleveland Cavaliers to the Sacramento Kings. Dennis Schrooter and Keon Ellis are going from |
