Welcome to The Long Two Podcast, where NBA YouTuber and TikTok extraordinaire Jordan Dyer teams up with professional basketball nerd Max Lubelczyk to talk all things hoops.

In today’s episode, we break down all the biggest moves from the NBA Trade Deadline, including Jimmy Butler heading to the Golden State Warriors, Brandon Ingram joining the Toronto Raptors, and Kyle Kuzma landing with the Milwaukee Bucks. What do these blockbuster trades mean for the NBA playoff picture? Are the Warriors officially back in title contention? Did the Raptors make the right move building around Scottie Barnes? And can Kuzma be the missing piece for Giannis and the Bucks?
We also reveal our biggest winners and losers from the trade deadline—who made the best deals, and which teams completely fumbled the opportunity to improve? Plus, we analyze how these trades will shake up the rest of the league, from contenders like the Celtics and Nuggets to teams on the outside looking in.
Drop your thoughts in the comments. Did your team make the right moves? Who do you think won the trade deadline?
