Hello, welcome to the game theory podcast. I'm your host Sam Vesini. We are presented by

The Athletic today on the show. Deere Kurtnbach is back in the building. Triumphant return of the man.

You can see him on camera if you're watching on the youtube show it's beautiful deeter

what's going on buddy sam it's been so long since i've heard those wonderful wonderful tones coming

into headphones that aren't just attached to a podcast player it's a beautiful thing we're back

game theory baby let's do it it's wild let's go have some fun deeter it's been you know what

probably probably six months since you've been on the show, something like that.

That sounds about right.

It's been a while.

I do a semi-annual.

We need to make it more often, but like you have radio.

You have actual life things happening right now.

So that makes it difficult to find time.

Well, the beautiful thing is basketball season is effectively over for me.

It went on a little bit longer than I expected with the Warriors and kind of like old times.

But no, man, it's great to be back.

And the NBA chaos never stops, not even for me.

So we got plenty to get into this evening.

Yeah, and maybe we'll talk a little bit about the Warriors at the end. But first, we want to talk

about some of the crazy free agency stuff that has happened over the course of the last week.

And I think that the first place to start is that the first enormous offseason trade has happened.

That has been the talk throughout the offseason that there would be a number of big trades this year
