Luka wants Mavs to upgrade before the deadline + The Wizards are dedicated to being mid

Luka wants the Mavericks to upgrade the team before the trade deadline, but with their lack of assets can they make any moves or are they better off waiting until this offseason to make a real splash? Also Marc Cuban gets mad at Tim Mcmahon over his reporting of this information. The Wizards have put Rui Hachimura on the trade block in order to clear a log jam for Kyle Kuzma at the four so they can pay him and their entire a ton of money this summer. We laughed at them for a little over this. During the Patreon part of the episode talked about the report that Harden really wants to play with Eric Gordon in Houston apparently so we will discuss whether we believe this new report. We also talked about the mess that is the Rockets following the John Wall podcast interview where he talked about Harden, Jalen Green and KPJ. Next we talked about Atlanta Hawks rookie AJ Griffin being the potential steal of the 2022 draft before redrafting the top five of that draft based on the rookie's careers so far. Finally we riffed on a bunch of things including who would win this weekend's NFL playoff games (including Giants vs. Eagles obviously), which pizza chain restaurant is the best, all while Sam was dying slowly during the Warriors Celtics game that the Celtics ended up winning anyway.
