And we are back, folks, here on the Michigan Insider on the Big 1050WTCA online at the

big 1050.com, Sam Webb.

Mr. Irwine, travel on the other side of joining us as he does every single Monday.

Bottom of the 8 o'clock hour is the mayor of Michigan Twitter as we've come to call him.

Scott Bell.

Scott, good morning.

How are you?

Happy to be here as always.

Happy to have you, my friend. And so I don't know how much you watch the Detroit Pistons,

Scott. But even if you don't watch them very much, I want to know what you think of my take on what is so clear to me

about what the future should hold for them. Yaxel Lindaborg, I think, is as good a fit for a team

or my team as I've seen. I was on the Tyrese Halliburton train a few years ago, and they weren't.

This to me is as clear as that about what kind of pro he's going to be as we now can talk

more definitively, I think, about the guys who are moving on.

He is obviously a guy who's moving on to the next level. And if I'm the

Detroit Pistons, he is the guy that I'm absolutely doing whatever I got to do to move up to get.

Oh, sign me up for that in a heartbeat. Yeah. I think he showed a lot, obviously, in his year in

Ann Arbor in terms of what he can do in terms of

scoring in D and all those things. But when I think about the Pistons and what that franchise

means to me and what its identity has been in the past and what it can be, again, going forward, it feels

like a Yaxil Lindenborg's a perfect fit just in terms of personality and grit and wanting

to do whatever he can to fit in.
