Summary

Danny Leroux joins the show to break down the NBA Trade Market in the preseason. We dive deep into some of the players that could move throughout the season, but also talk about how rare it is that we enter the season with seemingly few stars available. But we also talk about Jae Crowder, Mike Conley, Jordan Clarkson, Jakob Poeltl, Myles Turner, Deandre Ayton a bit, D'Angelo Russell, Harrison Barnes, and plenty others that feature on the mid-tier starter/high-end starter market. But first, we dive into a Victor Wembanyama breakdown, as Danny was in France and got to see the potential 2023 No. 1 overall pick in person this week. Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast.
0:08.9	I'm your Sam Fasini.
0:09.7	We are presented by The Athletic today on the show.
0:12.5	It's our French correspondent, our Victor Wembenyama in-person scout.
0:18.5	It's Danny Leroux, just getting back from a five-and-a-half-week trip in
0:22.8	Europe where he got to see Victor Wembeenjama in person. We're going to talk some Wembe stuff,
0:28.6	just in terms of what he saw as an in-person scout with Vic. And then on top of it, we're going to
0:34.8	talk some preseason NBA trade candidates. I think it's an
0:38.5	interesting idea to kind of set the trade market for what it could look like throughout the
0:43.2	course of the season, just given the fact that I can't quite remember a time in the league
0:48.4	where so few stars were even potentially available over the course of the last few years. So it's an interesting idea in terms of being able to break down what we could see,
0:58.6	what could come available for teams that maybe don't start well,
1:01.8	maybe teams that do start really well and are looking to expand on the trade market.
1:05.5	But we'll get into all that in about 15 minutes, first and foremost.
1:10.3	Danny Laroo, what's going on, man?
1:12.6	Doing well.
1:13.4	Still, you know, jet lagged had the 11-hour flight last night, but enjoying it.
1:18.5	And happy I stayed because getting to see Wenbanyama a couple times in person,
1:22.4	even if I felt like a little bit of an idiot because now he's going to be in Henderson, Nevada,
1:26.4	and a little bit going to play against Scoot Henderson and the G-leaking Night.
1:29.8	Didn't know that when I booked all this stuff, but still really happy I did it and a really
