Today's podcast is loaded. We've got NBA, we've got NFL. We start with Bobby Marks, taking a look at the NBA names that are part of the NBA trade market. Can I interest you in some deal? Perhaps some Butler, maybe a little Zion, even a little, little bean. And then we're going to talk with Ted Wynn from The Athletic, who is just great on the film breakdown stuff.

I've enjoyed reading his stuff all season long. So he's going to help us look for some things in the divisional round for this weekend that he's going to pick all the games. We've got a lot of advice. Joining us to talk about the NBA as we're about the halfway mark, almost game 40 for a lot of teams, is Bobby Marks, former front office executive and one of my favorite NBA guests.

Okay, let's look at it this way. Let's look at all these headline things. Let's talk it out, all the different stuff. I have talked about Jimmy Butler, not a ton on the pod, but I felt like it's exciting. It's the big name. It's the next domino to fall with the drama. I mean, we're used to having these things happen, so this is exciting. So he gets suspended. He's eligible to come back tomorrow.

We know that there's a massive player option north of $50 million this summer. We can talk about the egos involved and that Jimmy's a stubborn guy and that Pat is somebody who's a pretty accomplished dude who's not going to be pushed around a little bit. I guess I've just never quite wondered why the Heat would still want to be in the Jimmy Butler business.
