BONUS: LUKA DONCIC TRADED TO LAKERS, ANTHONY DAVIS TRADED TO MAVS

The lads start by talkin' a little March Madness. Is this tournament bad like everyone says it is? Or is has it been pretty darn good? Then they talk Taylor Jenkins and the Grizzlies parting ways, and round out the episode by asking NBA questions that begin with "are we sure...?" It's a good one.

In this special EMERGENCY POD edition of Take Foul, the lads talk all the possible angles of the massive Anthony Davis - Luka Doncic trade. What was Nico Harrison THINKING? Why was this done so secretively? ONLY ONE FIRST ROUND PICK FOR LUKA? Did LeBron know about this? What the hell happened to the game we love?

The lads go through the All Star rosters announced and give their own picks for each of the slots. They talk snubs and surprises. Then the lads talk Jimmy Butler, DeAaron Fox, and Anthony Davis's wish for a center (spoiler, his wish came true, just not the way he thought). Then they give some fake trades. Excellent stuff!

The lads go over all the Christmas games and construct a perfect parlay based on massive plethora of ball knowledge.

The lads take on the viewership problem going on with the NBA. Is too many threes? Not enough defense? Too many games? Too expensive to watch the game? Adam Silver too bald? What is actually going on here? The lads then FIX the NBA.

The lads go through the ole GM survey and show those GMs why the Take Foul crew knows ball way more than those silly guys in the front offices. SPOILERS, you don't even have to watch this NBA season because we tell you what happens in this preview pod.

The lads talk about good and bad moves in the NBA offseason, including whatever is going on in Denver, the Brunson extension, and the Bulls debacle. Then they play a little game of would you rather with Lauri Markkanen. Finally, they talk team USA and the Olympics. Who should start, are Serbia/ France/ Canada good enough to compete?

The lads talk winners and losers of the first round of the NBA draft. They delve into the Timberwolves trading for Rob Dillingham, their thoughts on Zaccharie Risacher going number 1 overall to the Hawks, and Stephon Castle's fit on the Spurs. Then they talk all the angles on the Mikal Bridges trade, and chat about the mixed reception from JJ Redick's first press conference as head coach of the Los Angeles Lakers.

The lads talk big picture winners and losers of the playoffs, from Mat Ishbia and the Suns to the broadcast analysts that we have to listen to during the games to fired coaches. A little interlude on Jayson Tatum as well. We went a little long, had a lot to get to. Sorry Jack!

The lads discuss the Bulls embarrassing exit and uncertain future. Then they talk teams with the most pressure to advance to the second round. The lads guess who the breakout players are gonna be in the playoffs. After that the lads talk BEST BETS and LOCKS for the first round. THEN THEY PREDICT THE PICKS. You're welcome.
