   The guys fix tanking; Caruso-Giddey trade look-back; Clippers Impressing; Cuban on Luka

   Anthony and Leigh riff a little bit about the tanking problem in the NBA, then dive in on some fun topics. The Alex Caruso-Josh Giddey traded looked ugly at first, but with the Bulls playing a little better, is the trade more of a win-win than previously thought? The Clippers are getting healthy just in time to spoil someone's season. Mark Cuban gave unfiltered thoughts on the Luka Doncic trade that stirred some interesting conversation about that whole situation.
