Hardwood Knocks

With ESPN.com's Adrian Wojnarowski reporting the Hornets have put Kemba Walker on the chopping block, Andy and Dan suss out potential landing spots and trade packages. Should the Knicks make a play for him? What about the Spurs? Or perhaps the Cavaliers? Speaking of the Spurs, they announced on Wednesday Kawhi Leonard would be out indefinitely while dealing with a lingering quad injury. Are they in danger of ceding ground to the Timberwolves and Thunder without him, or will they hold on to the Western Conference's No. 3 seed? Should they possibly consider making a trade? And if so, for who? Tyreke Evans? Avery Bradley? Kemba Walker himself? The Celtics are also without Kyrie Irving, for now, while he tends to a shoulder injury. Though this setback isn't considered serious, can Al Horford, Jaylen Brown and Jayson Tatum keep Boston atop the Eastern Conference if its point guard misses signficant time? And finally, the NBA's All-Star starters are officially official. Andy and Dan talk about who they believe was snubbed and also draft their own roster. Be sure to let them know who has the superior starting five! Oh, and there also might be some bonus Defensive Player of the Year talk as well. (There totally is.)
