What can Obi Toppin add to the equation?

(30:05-50:22) – Jimmy and James are joined by producer Eddie Garrison to play “Prove it or Move it” where they discuss some high-profile names on the Colts roster and debate on whether they should stay in Indy or if they should hit the road.

What can a positionless player like Obi Toppin do playing alongside Tyrese Haliburton? They then look around the rest of the league with the Damian Lillard situation. Is it a mistake to declare that you will only accept a trade to one team like Lillard has with Miami? How much better did Boston get this offseason, and will they ever play smart basketball?

How important would adding a player like DeAndre Hopkins be to the Titans receiving corps?
