    With Tyler Laurie on load management, Zandrick Ellison and special guest Blake J. Harris (CONSOLE WARS) discuss the rumors about the NBA expansion into Europe and debate the best approaches for the league's global takeover. Should the NBA expand here in the United States?

Along with it, they discuss the teams most vulnerable to a potential relocation, the cities that may be able to share teams, the potential new owners like LeBron James, and of course, the potential of a UFO confirmation happening in the next few years.

They then transition to the Lakers and Marcus Smart reaching an agreement, and if that actually helps from a rotation standpoint. Finally, they talk through Dame Time returning to Portland and if it makes any sense at all for the team.
