The Athletic’s Jason Jones joined Cattles and Ramie on Thursday to talk about the NBA All-Star game in Salt Lake City, the success of the Sacramento Kings so far this season and more.
Topics discussed include:
- Why the NBA All-Star game should find a permanent home in Los Angeles, Miami, or a more attractive market
- The team’s success and how much it surprised him
- “I wouldn’t have bet money they’d be three…I expected them to be in the six to 10 range.”
- How it wasn’t surprising that the Sacramento Kings did not make moves at the trade deadline
- Which team in the Western Conference helped themselves the most at the trade deadline?
- Is the Phoenix Suns’ biggest obstacle to winning a championship staying healthy?
- With how the Western Conference is stacked, it’s hard to guarantee a first-round playoff victory for anyone.
