We have a jam-packed episode of The Dunker Spot coming your way!
The NBA trade deadline has officially passed, and we have plenty of deals to sort through. Nekias Duncan and Steve Jones discuss the headliners like Jaren Jackson Jr. (Utah), Anthony Davis (Washington), and James Harden (Cleveland); stealthier acquisitions like Ivica Zubac (Indiana) and Nikola Vucevic (Boston), and much more.
From there, the guys discuss the winners and losers of #TradeSZN. Teams like the Pistons, Thunder and Hornets should feel pretty good; the Heat and Rockets? Not so much. Players like Spencer Jones and Dominick Barlow should have more security; guys like Cam Thomas will be looking for a new home.
Finally, they preview the weekend slate of Unrivaled games -- plenty of standings shuffling could be on the way! -- and Nekias reveals his media ballot for the upcoming 1-on-1 Tournament.
