Episode 48: Interview with Charlie Yao
We interview Charlie Yao from Roundball Mining Company. You know we have to talk about the Melo trade. It was nice to get another Knuggicks fan’s opinion on the trade. Charlie has a different opinion about the situation than Benjamin Hochman did last episode. We also get his opinion on the Knicks and how he thinks both teams outlooks are for the future and if my Knicks Effect theory will start to slow down at all. It’s pretty windy where Charlie is so the audio isn’t the best, but the interview is really good so it’s worth a listen. Download Episode 48
