What you are listening to is real.

The participants are not actors.

They are actual NBA podcasters with a case pending in the No Dunks Municipal Court.

Both parties have agreed to make their case how a particular team should approach the trade deadline

and have their dispute settled here in our forum.

The trade deadline court.

Our first case number 4740 pertains to the Toronto Raptors who currently sit in fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

There are a number of directions the defending champs can go as we approach the trade deadline. Trey Kirby is confident they should be active sellers.

While Lee Ellis is convinced, they could be buyers. Let's hear their arguments. All rise,

the Honorable Judge Tass Mellis presiding.

Thank you.

This court is now in session.

We are just over four weeks from the NBA trade deadline,

meaning it's crunch time for each NBA franchise.

Front offices must make the future altering decision.

Are we a buyer or are we a seller?

They can't take those choices lightly, and either will I. No messing around in my courtroom. I won't stand for anyone straying from the truth.

I will find that truth through my questioning because I am fair. I am confident that things will be

kept professional because before me are two of the best NBA attorneys making the case for either side.

First up, Mr. Kirby, after winning the title, you believe the Raptors should tear it down.

Let's hear what you have to say.

First and foremost, Judge Mellis, thank you for hearing our case today.
