In this packed episode of Second Round Syndrome, DJSportsZone and Jav Harris break down one of the biggest moves of the season: Trae Young is officially a Washington Wizard. The guys react to the win-win deal that sends Young to D.C. in exchange for CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert, and discuss why the Wizards may choose to sit their new star to protect a top-eight protected draft pick.

Inside the NBA Trade Landscape:
• Ja Morant on the Move: Reports suggest Memphis is listening to offers, with Miami emerging as a preferred destination. The hosts debate whether the Grizzlies should prioritize Tyler Herro or stockpile draft capital as they pivot toward a youth-driven rebuild.
• The Anthony Davis Dilemma: With AD sidelined for at least six weeks due to a hand injury, the discussion turns to the “malpractice” of his previous trade and why Dallas appears more focused on the Cooper Flagg outlook than a short-term playoff push.
• The Grizzlies Fire Sale: Jaren Jackson Jr.’s trade value takes center stage, with the argument that he may currently be worth more than Morant and that Memphis should hoard picks the way Oklahoma City once did.

Sixers Performance and Outlook:
• The Big Four Is Back: For the first time this season, the Sixers are fully healthy, with Joel Embiid, Tyrese Maxey, Paul George, and rookie standout VJ Edgecombe all available.
• Maxey’s MVP-Level Play: Maxey continues his dominant run, averaging 30.9 points per game while playing the best defense of his career.
• Road Trip Recap: A strong trip highlighted by an 80-point first half in Toronto and a gritty win in Orlando.
• Kyle Lowry’s Homecoming: Emotional “Greatest Raptor of All Time” chants in Toronto spark conversation about Lowry’s legacy and potential retirement timeline.
• The Home-Stand Test: With nine of the next ten games at home, the hosts set a clear benchmark — at least seven wins — to prove the Sixers belong among the East’s elite.

A loaded episode covering trade chaos, Sixers momentum, and the stakes ahead as the season ramps up.
