Dan and Ken check in after the trade deadline, and give their opinions about the various moves.

Their valuable opinions. More valuable than an expiring contract. Really.

The Knicks did a lot. Do Dan and Ken like it? What about the Bulls, or the Bobcats, or the Kings, or the Rockets? What could they possibly think about those teams?

In all seriousness, this episode contains the most Ken and Dan seriousness in weeks, if not ever. Serious basketball talk. Because this is beginning a serious part of the season.

Songs from the episode:

“Money Motivated Movements” - Guilty Simpson
“Busload of Faith” - Lou Reed
“From One Primadonna to Another” - 90 Day Men
“Won’t Trade” - Q-Tip

We’re back with a nice long show to take you through the weekend.

First, Dan and Bethlehem Shoals get together to try to talk like sports talk radio people. They intermittently succeed.

As usual, the topics vary.  The Grizzlies and Kings - better than we thought? Point guards and confidence.  Lineups with two or more small guards.  The mystery of Ramon Sessions. Trying not to talk about Tim Donaghy, but doing so anyway.

At the end, Ken shows up so we can check in with the Knicks.  Also, would Cleveland consider a trade with a team that might be a destination for LeBron next year? We talk as long as the baby allows.

Thanks for listening, no matter how long you’ve been doing so (or how long the show is.)

Songs from the episode:

“Baby We’ll Be Fine” - The National
“Pigs in Zen” - Jane’s Addiction
“A Horse Called Golgotha” - Baroness
“Never Gonna Kill Myself Again” - Rocket From The Tombs
“Before You Accuse Me” - Bo Diddley
“There Is No End” - Abyssinians
“Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!” - Do Make Say Think
“Speakers Push The Air” - Pretty Girls Make Graves

For your Friday reading pleasure, I now present the Disciples of Clyde Guide on How to Tell You Are a Hardcore, Obsessive NBA Fan:

- You have purposely watched a Warriors-Clippers game just to see what Anthony Randolph was going to do

- You have had a heated debate (either in person or online) about Ramon Sessions, Acie Law, or Luol Deng

- You cringe every time someone on TV talks about points per game for a team without mentioning anything about pace

- You have made a joke with Pops Mensah-Bonsu, Cheikh Samb, or Mardy Collins as the punch line

- You can name five people on the Grizzlies, Bucks, and Kings, respectively

- You see a ridiculous stat line and inadvertently say “Whoa boy!”

- You can in no time at all write a reasonably coherent paragraph about the Mid-Level Exception

- You have actually written Bill Simmons an email begging him to write another NBA column

- You agree with the people who write columns or record podcasts making fun of college basketball right when the tournament starts

- You not only can fill in these blanks “If you’re ready like ________ then I’m in there like ________” but you own the t-shirt

- You are intimately familiar with Lawler’s Law, and you live nowhere near Los Angeles

- You know the player that eats babies, and wishes he were eating more babies this year

- You wore an Undrcrwn UNLV shirt on a date, secretly hoping the girl will not only notice the shirt but know what it is (and maybe even make a reference to the Undrcrwn O-Face Shirt) thus signifying that this is the girl you are meant to marry (um, okay, so maybe that was just me.  Maybe this is a good place to stop.)
