Rudy Gobert wasn’t named as an All-Star reserve.

How did this happen? Why did this happen? What does it mean? Those are the primary topics on this week’s edition of the Weekly Run podcast, with Andy Larsen and Eric Walden.

At 1:00 - Our reaction to the news, just about a half hour after the announcement.

At 22:10 - Kristaps Porzingis was traded from New York to Dallas. Why did New York do that, did they have to do it, and how does it change the West for the foreseeable future?

At 31:41 - Some Jazz trade deadline updates, including thoughts on acquiring Otto Porter Jr., Mike Conley, Jrue Holiday, Nikola Mirotic, and more.
