Again, Richard, you have to stop cheating on me. It's so annoying.

Today of all days, the day that I have my hair cut, Richard.

Now I have to call Rachel and tell her our lunches off because I've been made a cuckold.

Oh, my entire week is shot. I shan't be made a cuckold, Richard. I'm too busy. It is like nails on a chalkboard when you cheat on me. It's like a mosquito in my ear when you f*** someone else. Look at what you've done. You've given me a mild headache. I'm far too busy to be a cuckold. With my schedule? Oh, I'm so perturbed at you. I could

absolutely scout. No, this is the last time. I am leaving you for the afternoon. I'll be back at

five.

On today's show, we got a whole lot.

We're going to discuss the update regarding Joelle and Beade's knee injury.

The Grizzlies traded Stephen Adams to the Rockets. Didn't see that one coming last night.

And is LeBron James really on the trade block? What do you know, Pingalore? But, give me some more,

Pingalore. Oh, nice. I'm just got my Buster Rams tickets. So before we get to all of that on the drop, the All-Star Reserves were announced last night. We jumped live on playback to react to them in real time. But let's go through them here. We'll talk about, you know, obviously some surprises, some snubs, and a whole lot more. So let's start with the Eastern Conference.

Jady's got the graphic here.

Your starters, just to remind you, Dame, Halliburton, Tatum, Janus, and Embed for now.

And then the reserves announced last night on TNT, Jalen Brunson, first time,

All-Star Tyrese Maxie as well.

Those guys ball in last night on the day they were announced as starters. Donovan Mitchell is back. Jalen Brown. Palo Bancaro getting in there for the magic. And then Julius Randall, who will very likely have an injury replacement name for him. And then BamAM out of bio for the Miami Heat.

So yeah, any quick takeaways here?

I'm going to give you an entire team of snubs in a little bit, but what jumps out to you from the Eastern Conference?

I know people want a sexy take, you know, like Pingalore's got to take about LeBron James.
