Eventually, the deadline gains traction with an epic four-team trade, the most complex in the history of the Mock Deadline.

We hit on every aspect of Zion’s debut: the 17-point run, the minutes limit, the passing, and the defense, plus a bit more on Spurs/Pels.

Then the Southwest Division.  Who are the center and wing options for Dallas in the wake of the Powell injury? What are the Grizz really going to get for Andre Iguodala?  We make predictions on where he ends up and what the return is.

Wlll the Spurs do anything at all?  And how can Houston add to their team with a dearth of matching salary and probable desire to say under the tax?

Finally we hit on the latest news around the NBA.
