On this episode of Fastbreak Breakfast we wander back into the GAME OF SCONES arena to do trivia battle once more. Inspiring this showdown is Luol Deng, who has finally been freed from riding the bench on the Lakers and is on his way to the Timberwolves.

Last week, when he agreed to a buy-out as part of the waive and stretch provision, the league (and the podcasting world) actually lost one of the most frequently ridiculed assets, “The Luol Deng Contract.” But thankfully when the universe closes a door it opens a window. And now that Deng joins the Timberwolves, we merely trade in that trope for another one: the frequently ridiculed TimberBulls reunion with Coach Tom Thibodeau.

So whether you are a nostalgic Bulls fan, a mildly concerned Timberwolves fan, a Lakers fan counting your newfound cap space, or anybody else quick to make a Thibodeau jab, you are invited to play along at home.

Other topics that have inspired today’s quizzes:

  • Does anyone still believe in Brandon Knight?
  • Dirk Nowitzki will end his career as one of the top scoring players to never win a single season scoring title. Who are the other highest scoring players to join him on this list?
  • And finally, Chuck (@themightychuck) challenges our hazy memories about notable NBA drug suspensions.
