The NBA trade deadline is heating up, and a surprise team has emerged as a suitor for Jimmy Butler—the New Orleans Pelicans. With Brandon Ingram’s expiring contract in play, could Miami be ready to move on? Matt Moore and Haize break down why a deal could (or couldn’t) happen. Meanwhile, the New York Knicks and Oklahoma City Thunder have been rolling, but should they stand pat or make a win-now move? We hear from Locked On Knicks and Locked On Thunder to get the inside scoop.

But the trade chatter isn’t the only thing shaking the league—federal prosecutors are investigating Terry Rozier’s connection to an illegal sports betting scandal. How serious is this for the Miami Heat, and could the NBA have another major integrity crisis on its hands? Matt and Haize debate what this means for the league and its future gambling partnerships.

Plus, Zion Williamson gets real about why he’s not playing back-to-backs, and it has nothing to do with laziness. Are the Pelicans making the right call, or is this another example of NBA teams being too cautious? And finally, we wrap up with our favorite things from the NBA week, including a potential new Eastern Conference rivalry and an All-Star snub turned selection.
