They discuss whether anyone will challenge the Knicks and Cavs (8:10), whether Atlanta needs to move on from Trae Young (33:42), and why the Celtics are outperforming expectations (48:04). Plus, they list the players they think could be on the move, including what they think the Hornets will do with LaMelo Ball (1:11:48).
