Dan is joined by The Basketball Writers' Adam Spinella (@Spinella14) to discuss a bunch of different big-picture topics. First and foremost, it seems the Sixers underachieving. Does Philly have cause for concern? Could they/should they blow it up? After that, they get into the rumor that Karl-Anthony Towns might be unhappy in Minnesota, what that means for the Timberwolves, and how the NBA can incentivize stars to stay put in smaller markets. Then it's on to former commissioner David Stern's legacy. And, finally, Adam proposes a midseason tournament idea that just might make the NBA's inevitable single-elimination brouhaha mean something.
