The NBA leaked three anti-tanking proposals this week. Mo and Brendan have a verdict: all three are wrong, and none of them touch the league's actual integrity problem. Mo was was commentating the Clippers-Bucks game and what he witnessed on that broadcast should worry every fan far more than any team finishing last on purpose.
Also: Victor Wembanyama made his MVP case publicly this week, and Brendan has a number for what Wemby would cost in a football (soccer)-style transfer system. The Clippers have quietly become one of the most compelling stories in the NBA. Nikola Jokic leads the league in assists AND rebounds. And the Raptors just won by 51.
