Chapter 2: What players were included in the Anthony Davis trade to the Wizards?
Hey, I'm Jay Shetty, host of the On Purpose podcast. On a recent episode, I sat down with Nick Jonas, singer, songwriter, actor, and global superstar.
I went blank. I hit a bad note, and then I couldn't recover. And I built up this idea that music and being a musician was my whole identity. I had to sort of relearn who I was if you took this thing away. Who am I?

Good afternoon, sweet world! It's still Wednesday, February 4th, and yup, we're back for another No Dunks Emergency Podcast presented by FanDuel. I'm J.E. Skeets here in the yard with two guys who at this pace might also be moved by tomorrow's NBA trade deadline. It's Tass Mellis and Trey Kirby. What's up, guys?
What's up? What'd you have for lunch, Skeets?
Nothing.
No?

Chapter 6: What are the implications of Jared McCain's trade for the Thunder?
Leave your boys a five-star rating and review. Again, another day, another Southern lawyer. Have at it. We got ourselves a trade. Oh yeah, he said that one with a little more gusto because this one was a little shocking. Let's throw it up on the screen for everybody here joining us on YouTube. It's a biggie. A lot of players moving here.
The Dallas Mavericks are trading 10-time All-Star Anthony Davis to the Washington Wizards as part of an eight-player trade. The Mavs will receive Chris Middleton,
Chapter 7: How do the trades impact the Wizards' roster and strategy?
A.J. Johnson, Malachi Branham, Marvin Bagley III, two first-round draft picks, and three second-rounders. A.D., like I said, going to Washington, also acquiring Jaden Hardy, D'Angelo Russell, and Dante Exum in the trade. And we know what those draft picks are, Tass. Dallas is receiving a 2026 Thunder first-round pick and a 2030 Protected. Warriors, first round pick. So that is the breakdown.
AD to the Wizards, your thoughts, immediate thoughts here.
The Washington Wizards didn't give up a lot. That's my initial thought.
Chapter 8: What are the potential outcomes for the Mavericks and Wizards moving forward?
Two first round picks aren't real two first round picks at all. The one this coming draft is OKC's. It's the 30th pick. That's the bottom of the first round. That's like the best second rounder you can get. That's all that is. And then the other one, it's one through 20 protected. So it's 21 through 30. It's a late first round pick essentially for Anthony Davis. That's how I'm looking at it.
Just one late first-round pick. No disrespect to all of the players involved. Hopefully, A.J. Johnson can become something. That being said, I'm a little surprised that the Dallas Mavericks didn't wait until the offseason. Maybe they could have got something more than this for Anthony Davis. But they're making a trade right here, right now, because this is all they can get.
TK. Yeah. You know, I told Laura I'm hopping on in another emergency podcast. Anthony Davis got traded. She said, what? Is it always like this? I was like, well, I mean, there is usually trades running up to the deadline, but they're not usually big trades like this. Big names.
And I said, part of that is, you know, we're old and these old guys are starting to get traded at the end of their careers when they have big contracts. But also the trade deadline has just become free agency now. Team... Big name players are more likely to change teams at the deadline.
And a team like the Wizards is really indicative of the new way that the NBA works, where you use your cap space to acquire players. They did it for Trey Young. Moving off of CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, they're going to have to pay Trey Young. They did it with Chris Middleton moving off his expiring contract, and now they're going to have to pay Anthony Davis.
That's why they had this cap space. Everybody's saying, why are they doing this? Why are they trying to accelerate the rebuild after they just traded away Denny Obdia trying to get younger? But look, When you've won 15 games, followed by 18 games, then a 13 and 36 season, that play-in starts looking like a juicy steak in a Tom and Jerry cartoon. It looks nice.
Nobody wants to suck for five straight years. Sometimes you have to get better. The Wizards didn't give up any of their valuable young players, any of the guys that they actually drafted and hoped to build around. in Keyshawn George, and most importantly, Alex Saar. Trey Johnson, he remains a wizard. They did trade AJ Johnson.
Maybe he turns into something for Dallas, but he was kind of just a throw-in in the trade last year, getting Middleton in the Kuzma deal. So I understand why the Wizards did this. I think their defense can be pretty nasty. with A.D. and Alex Saar, two guys who don't want to play center, even though they should probably play center.
You add two four-and-a-halves up together, somehow it turns into two fives. So it's interesting. They'll be able to cover for Trey Young. I don't know if this stunts the development of guys like Trey Johnson...
