Summary

On this week’s Crossover pod, Mannix and Beck discuss the Celtics sluggish play, if injuries are the biggest reason for it, what kind of changes Danny Ainge can make before the trade deadline, how much blame should be leveled at Brad Stevens – and if the Celtics are really tuning him out – and more. Plus a look at the suddenly scorching Suns and how aggressive Phoenix should be before the trade deadline, how concerned the Lakers should be about the health of Anthony Davis, the trade market for Blake Griffin and Andre Drummond and more. And is the NBA prepared for the nightmare scenario: Players testing positive for COVID-19 for an All-Star weekend many still believe shouldn’t be taking place?
