Max & David jump right into a Trade Deadline Review episode, focused largely at the top on the Tyler Johnson/Ryan Anderson swap.
The guys give their initial reactions, plus break down the on & off court implications of Tyler Johnson joining the team. They then discuss some trades that occured that Phoenix could have got involved in and also the trades that didn't occur.
David then gives the latest "Did You Know" story about Johnson, before the guys discuss the major moves from the deadline.

The Suns ended the week on a four game winning streak and gave Max & David plenty of positives to talk about.

Or Ayton realising that he belongs? The answer lies somewhere in between, with the Phoenix Suns looking more comfortable overall and the environment seeming a lot more positive.
The usual Did You Know, Around The Association & 7SOL segments all return, as the guys go long because they were having too much fun and had so much to cover. Enjoy!
