WEEI.com and USA Today SMG's Nick Friar and his old teammate turned college basketball 1,000-point scorer Matt Medeiros dig into what's going on in the world of basketball — from gameplay breakdown to the drama that consumes the NBA.

Ty, Matt and Nick had a Kemba Walker-centric episode planned, then friend of the show Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported a major trade: John Wall and a first-round pick for Russell Westbrook. The guys break down the Celtics' major issue and the trade that involves two big names, yet will do little-to-nothing for either the Wizards or Rockets.

Tyler, Matt and Nick originally planned to just talk about the Celtics' approach to the 2020 NBA draft in their return from the brief pause in the NBA action, but something far more serious happened on Tuesday.
