The CRAZIEST NBA Trade Deadline Ever IGNITES Gil's Arena as Gilbert Arenas & The Gil's Arena Crew recap one of the craziest weeks in NBA History as the whole league was turned upside down from an assortment of blockbuster trades involving NBA Superstars like Luka Doncic & Jimmy Butler. The GA Crew kicks off the show by reacting to the end of the Jimmy Butler saga as the Golden State Warriors finally made the move for the disgruntled superstar, brining him to the bay to chase a championship alongside Steph Curry and Draymond Green. They break down if Jimmy will be able to find his joy again in Golden State and debate if he'll be the piece this dynasty has been missing since winning it all in 2022. Next, they react to another blockbuster for the Los Angeles Lakers following their move for Luka Doncic as the Lake Show finally got a 5 in a move that sent rookie forward Dalton Knecht to Charlotte for the exciting young center Mark Williams, sparking a debate over if these moves for the Lakers have turned LeBron James' team into a legitimate championship contender. Finally, they whip around the NBA to cover storylines over shadowed by the deadline like, another 50 point game for MVP Favorite Shai Gilgeous Alexander, De'Aaron Fox's outstanding debut alongside Victor Wembanyama and Lonzo Ball's surprising extension with the Chicago Bulls.
