Trade Deadline Reactions: Jimmy Joins Steph, the Lakers Get Their Center, and Can the Suns Regain KD’s Trust?

Verno and Jacoby go through all the trades that went down before the deadline, from Jimmy Butler finally escaping Miami to the Grizzlies dumping Marcus Smart. They start off by briefly revisiting the De’Aaron Fox deal before moving on to the Bucks trading Khris Middleton for Kyle Kuzma and De'Andre Hunter’s potential impact with the Cavs (08:07). They then discuss why Smart was moved, what kind of impact Butler will make with the Warriors, and why everyone needs to slow down a bit on the newest Laker big man, Mark Williams (25:08). Next, they discuss the position the Suns are in with Kevin Durant now after his name was floated around in trade talks (48:00). Has this broken the relationship between KD and the Suns front office?
