Episode 39: Team Canada's Avengers Assemble
05/12/2019 Duración: 57minO' Canada! Tristan, Lach, and Ian are feeling more patriotic than Alex Trebek eating poutine this episode, as more NBA talent continues to commit to Team Canada to compete for a spot in the upcoming Olympics. If everyone is in can they get it done?Somehow we are already at the quarter mark of the NBA season and the guys check in on all of the awards races as there are many deserving candidates for each award so far. The winds of change are blowing in the NBA as Adam Silver is proposing many changes including an in-season tournament, shortening the season, and having a play-in for the final seeds. Good move? Or is this an "if it ain't broke don't fix it" scenario?There was lots more to discuss, but due to some technical difficulties, the episode had to be cut short. Never fear though, if Ben Simmons can hit a 3, the B2B boys can bounce back from this.Make sure to follow The Amateur Agency on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram!

The Kings' reasoning left Lach dumbfounded. The guys also discuss:-Zach Lavine's career game on the back of a fourth-quarter benching and the fallout from a subpar coach trying to stick it to his best player.-James Wiseman's suspension and fine resulting from Penny Hardaway (Memphis Basketball Head Coach, Memphis Booster) loaning him money to help move to Memphis. -Are people sleeping back to sleeping on the Raptors already?-A whirlwind of news out of San Antonio: A slow start, Pop possibly retiring, Derozan and Aldridge trade rumours-As well as a few other topics

Prior to diving into that, we take a look at several headlines and quotes coming out of Houston as the Rockets prepare to attack the wide-open championship window they have.
