The Ringer
About this episode

Howard and Raja are joined by three-time NBA champion Danny Green. They recorded before the Sacramento Kings fired Mike Brown so they started with talking about whether they have any concerns about the viewership in the NBA after an exciting Christmas Day slate (7:03). Then they discuss the trade rumors around De’Aaron Fox and Jimmy Butler and how that impacts their team (37:15). Later, they wrap up with Luka Doncic's injury and how it adds to the list of guys that will potentially be ineligible for post season awards (53:13).
