Summary

Amin and Izzy start off the show reacting to the shocking trade that sends Luka Doncic to the Los Angeles Lakers, along with Maxi Kleber and Markieff Morris, in exchange for Anthony Davis, Maz Christie and a first round draft pick. Mavericks fans are devastated, with some even bringing a coffin to the American Airlines Center -- but should they be? Amin and Izzy break down the implications for the Mavericks' title hopes, L.A.’s future, and how this move could bring about a whole new Luka on and off the court. They also dive into the Spurs’ acquisition of De’Aaron Fox and what it means for their timeline alongside Victor Wembanyama. Plus, they close the show with a special edition of Hot Streak, look ahead to games where trade targets from the past weekend will be reunited: Mavericks vs. Lakers on February 25 and Spurs at Kings on March 7.
