Welcome back everyone. Hope you all had a good Super Bowl. We are getting down to business

out with the NBA trade deadline and the episode coming out Monday night is gonna deal with

all the latest rumors. We'll talk about some Monday nights games. Also we'll have to discuss

some of the controversial All-Star selection. But as promised here, sorry for the slight delay

had some travel issues last night. But we encouraged our Patreon subscribers, patreon.com slash

Duncan LaRoute to submit some fake trades for us to talk about here. And we've got a great

community there. A lot of fun discussions that happen. But we wanted to see maybe some out of the

box trades. This will just give us a chance to talk about our values about some of the players

around the league. So looking forward to getting started here, Danny, where would you like to begin?

Well there was one that I thought it was a concept that we didn't talk about in the mock deadline

that I've been compelled by for a long time. This is from Josh Bells, which is a trade centered

around Chris Paul and Mike Connelly. And the reason why it's intriguing is that even though

the players have had dramatically different years and you know, like, and Chris Paul has been so

important to the thunderous success, it might kind of make some sense. And so the basic structure

of it is actually pretty simple. The guys make a lot of money. Chris Paul's 38-5 this year and

Mike Connelly 32-5. So they're within the range. The jazz are far enough away from the lecture

tax that that kind of a structure would be pretty easy. And from Oklahoma City's perspective,

I mean, based on how they performed this year and everything, it could be a downgrade. But

Chris Paul's contract is longer. And he is, you know, yeah, maybe he's the next John Stockton,

but generally small point guards, you know, something that deal with Mike Connelly too,

small point guard, so an age well. So basically, why don't you want to start? You and I have never

really talked about that as a construction. How would you think about it from each team's perspective?
