NEW @AlleyOopPod!

The Knicks are dominating the league since the OG Anunoby trade, and Jalen Brunson is making a lot of people look silly.

@danfavale and I discuss this moment in New York and what the Knicks can do to not let it go to waste.

NEW @AlleyOopPod!

The Toronto Raptors finally traded OG Anunoby and Pascal Siakam. They're 2-12 in their last 14.

And yet, as @JustEsBaraheni notes, the vision is there to build around Scottie Barnes, Immanuel Quickley, and even RJ Barrett.
