Oh, did you want more Ben Simmons trade talk? We spend some more time on it, focusing on whether there is a deal out there including reportedly available player that we'd want to do.

A good year in Toronto has quelled trade talk there, but is a center(re) upgrade a good idea? Brooklyn has a gargantuan luxury tax bill, but also clear needs for shooting and frontcourt defense. 4 Episodes per week are available exclusively on Dunc'd On Prime!
