PBT Podcast: Rui Hachimura trade to Lakers and All-Star team

pIl9fyB6PfOY
In this edition of Kurt's Korner, Kurt Helin offers his take on the NBA's new All-Star format -- with captains picking teams live on the court -- and whether it can make the game truly compelling to fans.

Rui Hachimura is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. That is a win for the Lakers front office — “Look! We’re doing something!” — but how much of a win was that for the Lakers? Does it change much of anything for them on the court?

That’s the first topic of this week’s PBT Podcast with Corey Robinson of NBC Sports and myself. Then we talk about the Orlando Magic and the return of Jonathan Isaac to the floor. Corey’s Jukebox ties together the Magic and the Phantom of the Opera.

From there, we dive into my selections for the NBA All-Star Game, both starters and reserves, and what can be done to liven up that game. Plus, who would you want to star as if you were in a movie?
