About this episode

Heat guard/forward Jimmy Butler has been suspended yet again by the team after leaving a shootaround. Logan, Raja, and Howard Beck open the pod with a lengthy discussion on how Jimmy’s latest plea to be traded to another team could affect his career (1:12). Jalen Williams of the Oklahoma City Thunder believes there should be three All-Defensive teams and two Defensive Player of the Year awards due to the differences in how you have to defend as a guard vs. as a big. Does he have a point (21:31)? Logan and Howard pick their All-Star reserves (39:06). Plus, mailbag!
