Trade Deadline Looms as NBA Recovers from shock and Utah Jazz prepare

Great to have you back Locke! Hope you had a good break
Seconds are trade sweeteners to appeal fans. They have value lol. If you are drafting at 45-60 it's probably best to draft a euro stash player and maybe get a rotation player 4-7 years down the line
Collins works so good as an offensive engine for a 2nd unit. If he's ever on a true contender that will be his role. Dude abuses bad defenders in iso with pure tenacity
I love your play breakdowns thanks so much!
Locke is back!!!
breakdowns really help me understand the game better, thanks
why didn't the mavericks shop Luca around? They could have got a lot more
Welcome back, David! Great show! Glad you’re able to spend time with your family and still continue to provide great content and play by play for the Jazz! Question: we are still hearing rumors about Kessler being a possible trade target for the Lakers. Is there any weight to these rumors?
The doncic trade has to be due to corruption. The writing is on the wall
Peak content! I love the conversation on trades, and especially the play breakdowns. Super fun, thanks for the great show!
No problem taking a few games off. The Jazz suck and nobody cares about the games anymore. Management is projecting some time after 2031 to return to winning waye^^
David, as someone that has listened to you since the "Two Princes" opening to your radio show, I will say I miss when you aren't there but take every opportunity you can to watch your kids play and grow up.
I have a daughter doing high school hockey and I will do anything to get her to games and watch her play. You only get one chance to watch them play and grow up. Don't miss i! 😅
