Kevin O’Connor welcomes Tom Haberstroh to the podcast to break down the biggest stories in the NBA this week, starting with Ja Morant and Memphis as they speculate whether the Grizzlies should trade Ja and what they should get for him in return if they do. The duo dissects Minnesota’s shortcomings, particularly their defensive collapse without Rudy Gobert, and analyzes whether the Timberwolves’ current roster construction has reached its limit.
