The Houston Rockets might have the BEST frontcourt in the NBA—and it's not the pairing everyone expected. Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr. are dominating together, outscoring opponents by 16.7 points per 100 possessions. Could their chemistry be the key to Houston winning the Western Conference?
Wes Goldberg and Mike Shearer of Basketball Poetry break down the Rockets' surprising frontcourt dominance and discuss how Houston could improve its roster before the NBA trade deadline.
Plus, are the New York Knicks and Cleveland Cavaliers showing legitimate warning signs? What's working with Karl-Anthony Towns, and should Cleveland be even more concerned about its long-term outlook?

The Cleveland Cavaliers have a BIG problem, and it might be time to consider an unthinkable move: trading Evan Mobley. On RealGM Radio, Wes Goldberg explains why he's officially on RED ALERT with the Cavaliers. The James Harden trade hasn't delivered the results Cleveland expected, while Darius Garland is thriving with the Los Angeles Clippers. Did the Cavs make a franchise-altering mistake?
Meanwhile, Mobley's shooting percentages have improved, but his overall impact hasn't matched expectations. Why isn't he imposing himself on games when Cleveland needs him most? Add Peyton Watson's struggles, limited draft flexibility and Harden's expensive contract extension, and the Cavaliers could face some uncomfortable decisions. Is this simply an early-season slump, or does Cleveland have a fundamental roster problem? And if things don't improve, should the Cavaliers seriously consider trading Evan Mobley before the NBA trade deadline?
