It's officially NBA trade season and there have already been some tectonic shifts. Giannis is finally on the move after the most arduous trade saga in recent memory. LaMelo is, shockingly, a Timberwolf. And everybody - even some teams who aren't that good! - is tying themselves in knots to make sure the Knicks don't repeat as champions.

It's the stretch run of the NBA season where the story has been the tank race rather than the playoff race so Chris and Lyndsay are back with some Spanish Garnacha to chat about all manners of basketball including the WNBA's continuing labour strife, the success of Unrivaled, whether or not Kim Jong Un can hoop (Baron Trump definitely can't), and why the Atlanta Hawks collab with Magic City is far from the most harmful thing the NBA does to women.
