Welcome to a joint special low post who collect the podcast.

My friend Brian Winhorse and I were both in transit at various hours to Los Angeles across

the entire damn country when the Brooklyn Nets traded Kyrie Irving, ending the era of

the greatest theoretical team of all time, which is actually already over when they traded

James Hardin anyway, to the Dallas Mavericks for Dorian Finney Smith.

Spencer Dinwitty, an unprotected sexy, unprotected 2029 first-sound pick from the Dallas Mavericks

and a second-round pick.

And pointedly, they did not trade Kyrie Irving to Los Angeles Clippers, the Phoenix Suns,

or the Los Angeles Lakers, appearing to prompt the kids' emo tweet from LeBron saying,

maybe it's me, which I immediately started singing in my head that New Taylor Swift

is not new.

The Taylor Swift hit that is everywhere and all my daughters friends are singing all

the time.

Wendy, there is a lot to unpack here as this kicked off trade deadline week and actually

a lot of teams were relieved that it got done quickly so that other business can get

done on a more reasonable timetable, whether that other business will include one Kevin

Durant is one of the big follow-up questions of this trade.

The trade deadline is in four days.

Kevin Durant is still a member with the Brooklyn Nets.

Wendy, there is a lot to unpack here.

How are you?

Well, the Grammys were going on when we got here yesterday, Zach.
