This is one of the weirdest times of the NBA calendar because you're right after the trade deadline and you're a week out from the All-Star game.

And it feels like, I don't know, a lot of people not playing, especially people who have just been traded.

A lot of tanking happening right now.

So I thought I could take a minute and we could talk about some of the stuff that we're paying attention to this week.

The Charlotte Hornets.

We're still watching them.

They've won nine straight Zeno.

We're going to jinx them at some point.

I'm sure of it.

But for so far, they are rolling.

Number one offense, number four defense over that stretch of the last nine games.

This team, like the vibes around this team are excellent.

And then they make a trade for Kobe White.

Vibes wise, perfect fit on the court.

Amazing fit.

He can play with every single combination of the guards that they have on that team.

You can play him with Trey Mann.

You can play him with Glamella Ball.

I think he's going to be a really nice spark plug off the bench for them.

Right now, he's out with a strained calf, so we haven't seen him yet.
