The NBA's COVID response, the MVP debate and latest trade buzz

About this episode

In this episode of The NBA Podcast, Morten Jensen (@msjnba) and Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) discuss the NBA's ongoing COVID-19 outbreak, where Stephen Curry and Nikola Jokic belong in the MVP conversation and the latest trade buzz around Ben Simmons and Russell Westbrook.

How should the NBA deal with the leaguewide rise in COVID-19 cases? Should Jokic be getting more MVP buzz? Does Steph not deserve to be the MVP front-runner? Can the Philadelphia 76ers afford not to trade Simmons by the deadline? Does any team make sense as a potential Westbrook destination?

Check out the episode to hear Morten and Bryan discuss all of that and more.
