It's the day after the Grizzlies traded Jaren Jackson Jr to the Jazz and Chris talks about having to explain it to his daughter (4:22). Then we'll go into the Grizzlies plans the rest of the season, what's next, gaining draft assets and team building in 2026 compared to what it was even 5-6 years ago. While we're discussing this, the news breaks that the Wizards have traded for Anthony Davis and the Thunder have traded for Jared McCain. We'll talk about what those trades mean for each team. Are the Wizards trying to be good??? (16:00)

We open the show talking about the Grizzlies win last night over the Timberwolves, what Ty Jerome has brought to the team in his 2 games, the whistle Anthony Edwards gets and more (3:00). Next we'll talk about the news that broke last night about James Harden seeking a trade out of LA and the real reason he's upset + Cavs possibly moving on from Darius Garland in a deal for Harden and the Cavs also maybe moving on from Jarrett Allen to free up money to get in the Giannis deal. We'll then discuss the teams making moves on the edges to clear up space to make a deal for Giannis and how it relates to the Grizzlies (17:42).

We'll open today's show still lamenting the fact there's tons of snow and ice all over the ground making it difficult for us to get out of our neighborhoods (3:00). After that, we'll get into the news of the day and start with the Grizzlies game tonight against the Pelicans and Ty Jerome being upgraded from OUT to Doubtful. Will we see Ty Jerome on Saturday night or Monday night at FedExForum? Are the Grizzlies showcasing Ty Jerome for a week in order to trade him? + Devin has a list of NBA players who have been traded the most (6:37). Chris replays an old clip of Tony Allen and Devin slandering Cooper Flagg before the season started saying he's Andrei Kirilenko at best...and then makes Devin apologize after Cooper Flagg went off for almost 50 last night in a loss to the Hornets. That gets us in a conversation about Flagg, Kon Knueppel, the rookie class coming in next year and why draft capital might in 2026 might be the best thing for the Grizzlies (18:35) and then we'll pivot to Dillon Brooks' 40 point night and how he's improved in the last couple of years, the Suns win over the Pistons and if the Pistons need to add another scorer to take pressure off of Cade Cunningham (29:25).

Penny's Tigers picked up a win over FAU last night. Are they starting to show signs of life after that win? Did it tell us anything? (44:10)

We'll go into the NFL news of the day with the Falcons hiring a new GM, the Vikings firing their GM and if Sam Darnold making the Super Bowl this year had anything to do with the Vikings making this decision + a standout at the Senior Bowl in Mobile in WR Tyren Montgomery. Wait till you hear this story (51:10)
