Summary

Ooh, the trade deadline could've, should've, would've been WAY more interesting... the Warriors' Draymond Green and Golden State owner Joe Lacob reached out to Lakers owner Jeanie Buss to see if LeBron was frustrated enough to leave LA for the Bay Area... but LeBron said no! Moving on to moves that are actually happening, the Charlotte Hornets' President of Basketball Operations & General Manager Mitch Kupchak will transition into an advisory role once the new hire joins the organization... Amin and Charlotte take a look at the likely candidates to takeover. The All-Star jerseys for Indianapolis this weekend were unveiled a while back but haven't made quite the noise as in previous years - Amin & Charlotte call out their favorites and also give appreciation to some artist-designed Miami Heat jerseys that should really be seen on the court. Plus, NBA reporter for The Guardian Claire de Lune returns to Oddball to share her midseason picks for MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved, and more. Follow Claire @claireMPLS.
