Bigger disappointment: NBA trade deadline or Dunk Contest? That and many other questions are addressed in this week’s bursting-at-the-seams episode of Fastbreak Breakfast.

Are we living in a dystopian future where the mighty franchises of championships past (Chicago Bulls, New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers) seem to be aimlessly wandering in the wilderness with no clear direction? By effectively trading Nerlens Noel for two 2nd round picks, have the Philadelphia 76ers embraced endless losing? The Boston Celtics are hoarding resources but don’t seem to have any interest in using them. Meanwhile, the New Orleans Pelicans landed the biggest fish and drones have invaded All-Star weekend. What is this strange reality?

Also discussed:

• Will adding Lou Williams to the arsenal in Houston make the Rockets even more powerful or will there be drawbacks?
• Is it possible to describe the NBA All-Star game as a complete mockery of sport without sounding like a generic talking head?
• How did the Oklahoma City Thunder leverage a pick from the Chicago Bulls in their transaction?
• What’s next for Jahlil Okafor and Brandon Knight?
• Did the Portland Trail Blazers make a move too early in the week and miss out on better opportunities?
• Will DeMarcus Cousins finally find peace and redemption in New Orleans? Is there a doomsday scenario for the Pelicans if things go south?
