John Hollinger joins Nate to discuss the 2025 draft and recent trades. What do we think of the KD trade? What’s it like trying to move down or up in the draft? What does John think of how teams like the Pels, Grizz, Hawks, and Blazers handled that process? Plus, what of the players the Grizz, Pels, and Blazers selected with their machinations?

We also discuss the Celtics moves to cut salary with Porzingis and Holiday, and Kyrie Irving returning to the Mavericks.

Nate and John run through a long list of potential trade candidates for what could be a seismic 2025 NBA offseason. They start with the two biggest possible dominos—Giannis Antetokounmpo and Kevin Durant—and what their availability would mean for their current teams and potential suitors. From there, they cover a wide array of high-level trade options, including Lauri Markkanen, Jrue Holiday, and Jaylen Brown, as well as some lower-profile but still meaningful players like Anfernee Simons and Walker Kessler.
