The 2026 NBA Trade Deadline SHOOK Us

The 2026 NBA trade deadline came and went — and we have A LOT of thoughts. Jay, Grant, and Kaim break down the biggest moves of the deadline, starting with the Clippers blowing it up. Trading James Harden AND Ivica Zubac? From a team that looked championship-ready? We try to make sense of what's going on behind the scenes in LA. We also get into Cleveland landing Harden and whether this actually makes the Cavs legit title contenders, the Bulls somehow coming away from the deadline with almost nothing to show for it (again), the Jazz going all-in on Jaren Jackson Jr. with three first-round picks, and the Wizards making the wildest splash — bringing in Anthony Davis AND Trae Young. Eastern Conference Finals sleeper? It's a packed episode. Let's get into it. 🔑 Topics Covered: * Clippers trading Harden & Zubac — why?? * Cavs as a title contender with Harden * Bulls' front office struggles continue * Jazz bet big on JJJ * Wizards go all-in on AD & Trae Young
