When Jimmy Butler forces a late off-season trade that means the NBA is back! This historic occasion may be the first time a player has ever actually tried to be traded to the Clippers. After months of searching, the 76ers found their new GM right under their noses. We discuss how the Elton Brand hiring came to be. The dry heave team previews are the teams too good for a top draft pick but not good enough to make the playoffs. Their the NBA's version of purgatory or, to mix metaphors, a vomit that never comes. Tune in for our season previews of the Clippers, Heat, Pistons, Knicks, Hornets and Magic and stay for the NBA's scheduled tunnel fight rematch between Chris Paul and Blake Griffin.
