    #362: The East race post deadline; 1-on-1 Tourney?
    Feb 18 2026

    The trade deadline changed a few rosters in the East – we discuss James Harden's move to Cleveland, and where that leaves them next to the Celtics, Pistons and Knicks. Also, the All-Star game was fun again, and why Ben wants a 1-on-1 tournament to replace the dunk contest. Support atwww.patreon.com/thinkingbasketball
