Just when you think it's safe to take it easy leading up to the trade deadline, the National Basketball Association pulls out what might be the Trade of the Century (maybe the Trade of All Time?) to give Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are geared up and hyped up to discuss whether or not the L.A. Lakers or Dallas Mavericks leveled up. Luka Doncic is a Laker, but did we find out at the same time that the Don did? Anthony Davis is a Maverick, but is there a chance that Dallas got better and worse at the same time? Did Adam actually give GM LeBron an A+ grade for the first time in his career, or did the Lakers look to the future after LeBron? Will this deal leading to a flurry of equally shocking and weirdly desperate trades by playoff teams? How quickly did this deal REALLY come together? We hit all of the angles, all the potential conspiracy theories, salaries, spilled tea, and more! So suit up, and trade it out... I mean, take it out in episode 332 with the NBA-Team!

As our great nation swears in its second-oldest President (second only to the previous one), the elder statesmen in our great National Basketball Association are on the struggle bus as we reach the midway point of the regular season, but will they find their mojo before it's too late? Adam Murray and Andrew Riche, Place To Be Nation's NBA-Team, are here to discuss the regular season woes for a lot of middling playoff (and, in some cases, play-in) teams with bloated contracts and diminishing value with the trade deadline on the horizon. Will we FINALLY get a resolution to the Jimmy Butler situation in Miami? Are the Philadelphia 76ers, despite its nightmarish season, stuck having to not tank it despite the absence (now and maybe longer) of Joel Embiid? Have the NBA done a poor job of marketing MVP candidate Shai Gilgeous-Alexander? Riche and Adam also talk about the California teams, the Suns trying to save their season, the young Rockets and Grizzlies, Cooper Flagg, SNOW DAYS, and more! So suit up and take it out in episode 331 with the NBA-Team!
