Right before this show, Jaren Jackson Jr. was traded to the Utah Jazz. During the show, the Minnesota Timberwolves created cap space in an attempt to free cap space to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Things are happening around the NBA, and the landscape continues to shift rapidly. Will the Nuggets be able to keep up with the rest of the Western Conference as they load up on incredible talent? Things are getting tougher.

On the latest Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn discusses recent NBA Trade Deadline reports about Giannis Antetokounmpo, James Harden, Darius Garland, and more. He discusses Denver’s situation again before pivoting to tonight’s game. Christian Braun might make his return. How will the Nuggets handle his minutes before the All-Star break?
