Adam and Dan discuss the process behind how they come up with fake NBA trades, and how they prepare for the negative backlash of them. This was a fun, fantastic conversation, and we strongly recommend listening to it in its entirety. After that, though, we talk about actual fake trades involving the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat, Boston Celtics, Atlanta Hawks, San Antonio Spurs, Indiana Pacers, Portland Trail Blazers, Los Angeles Clippers and much more. Finally, Dan discusses the impact of Kawhi Leonard's partially right torn ACL on his future, as well as the Clippers' outlook.
