Sam and Chandler split up the extension eligible players coming off their rookie scale contracts and attempted to agree to an extension as player agent Buddy Scott plays hardball going after the big payday for his clients. 

Did anyone else get the full max extension like Luka or Trae? Who all ended up agreeing to deals? Who might be playing out their final season before restricted free agency without long term extensions? We cover it all in this episode

Some of the players discussed include

-DeAndre Ayton

-Michael Porter Jr

-Mikal Bridges

-Jaren Jackson Jr

-Miles Bridges

-Collin Sexton

Year 2 of our Top 25 Trade Value Rankings is here! In a throwback to the old Bill Simmons column, Chandler and Sam present their top 25 players who have the most trade value today - taking into heavy consideration age, contract, years of control, talent, potential, on-court production and more. 

This time we had our guest Buddy Scott try to nitpick and poke holes in our list, while adding in his thoughts and preferences along the way as we navigated our rankings through the best trade assets in the entire NBA. The episode begins with a bang when Chandler and Sam disagree on their #1 most valuable trade asset in the league.
