Summary: Chris Haynes is joined by Yahoo's Vincent Goodwill to take stock of the league one week after the trade deadline. With the post-buyout additions of Andre Drummond to the Los Angeles Lakers, as well as Blake Griffin & LaMarcus Aldridge to the Brooklyn Nets, does something need to change in how these past-prime stars get acquired after the trade deadline? Some say all the additions made to the Brooklyn Nets roster this season turned them into the NBA's villains. Chris & Vince explore that idea as well as James Harden's MVP chances as he's quickly turned into the face of the franchise due to Kevin Durant & Kyrie Irving's inconsistent playing status night-to-night. Later in the show, the guys break down the new-look Denver Nuggets, who play the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night. Are they the best in the Western Conference? Finally, Chris & Vince close out the show discussing the recent back-and-forth between Washington Wizard guard Russell Westbrook & Stephen A. Smith over Westbrook's latest triple-double.
