On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones reacts to the Luka Doncic for Anthony Davis trade that rocked the NBA world. (1:00) Bo starts the show by trying to compute this massive trade and ask why the Dallas Mavericks would trade a 25 year old superstar, that basketball fans actually pay to see play? (7:47) Bo also makes sure to point out that Anthony Davis is still a great player and should be given some credit instead of being crushed online. (20:56) Bo then looks at the Los Angeles Lakers perspective, where LeBron James now is no longer the centerpiece of the team, and why Rob Pelinka had to hide this trade from Rich Paul. (29:02) And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving litigation against sports gambling, DeepSeek, and Bryan Johnson's weird medical test with his son.
