Dan Feldman of NBC and Kevin Pelton of ESPN join to game out the 2020 Trade Deadline. We split up the league’s teams between the 4 of us and try to simulate the trade deadline. We start by trying to move a lot of the big names that might potentially be available, including Chris Paul, Danilo Gallinari, Steven Adams, Jrue Holiday, Andre Drummond, and Kevin Love. Eventually, the deadline gains traction with an epic four-team trade, the most complex in the history of the Mock Deadline. Please subscribe by searching “Dunc’d On” on your favorite podcast player.
