Smith and delivers a take on the James Harden trade that you CANNOT miss! The fellas also give it up for KCP, hit on Schroder vs. Caruso, and preview the week ahead as the Lakers prepare to hit the road again.

The Brooklyn Nets have traded for James Harden and the guys are here to break it all down. Najee and Hunter go over the full trade details and give grades for the four teams involved before diving into whether or not this trade is comparable to the Nets’ 2013 disaster. Brooklyn might be headed to the promised land, but none of it would’ve been possible without that 2018 roster, so the boys pour one out for guys like D’Angelo Russell, Jarrett Allen, Caris LeVert and Theo Pinson as they thank them for making the Nets a desirable destination. Kyrie might be coming back, hopefully? Naj and Hunter give their thoughts on his absence from the team and go over how this Nets team will look on both offense and defense while comparing them to their biggest competition now: LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Los Angeles Lakers. Hunter and Naj also give their top-3 free agent pickups for Brooklyn and answer a question that everyone has been answering: Is this the best big-3 ever assembled?
