Summary

Last episode John talked about what preparation goes on in front offices prior to the trade deadline. This week, we try to put that into practice with deadline prep for four key contenders, Milwaukee, the LA Clippers, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Philadelphia 76ers. We discuss team needs, which players might be available, which players the teams should go after, and how much we’d be willing to give up for each of those players as these teams. Then of course we eliminate another team from the playoffs to close the show.
