Paladino Joey and Vinrok are back in this second episode to talk about a pretty strange week for the Lakers and Timberwolves.

We already had our teams go head to head for the first time as the hosts of this show, and it certainly was not quite the epic battle we were hoping for, to say the least. The boys talk extensively about possible trades going on for both teams as we near the fabled February trade deadline! facebook.com/showtimeandtwolves Follow us on Twitter: @showtimetwolves @vinrok44 Call into our Phone Lines at: 209-736-7877
