Hello and welcome to the Game Theory podcast.

I'm your Osam Vesini.

Bryce Simon is over there in Kansas.

It's the start of NBA free agency, but it's been quite quiet.

We have about two hours already have surpassed since the start of free agency.

And we have a couple of signings trickling in, but nothing crazy.

The big move of the day, however, is that Kauai Leonard is now a member again of the Toronto

Raptors.

Bryce, what's going on?

Just endured about two and a half, three inches of rain in 45 minutes here in southwest

Kansas, which was something.

And yeah, now through all of that, didn't, that distraction didn't cause me to miss much from

the start of free agency because we haven't had much here to go.

Everybody taking, I guess, tampering very serious this year, not wanting to report any of

these deals.

Maybe none of them are ready to go.

But obviously, we did get the Kauai Leonard trade, which was the big news of the day.

Yeah, felt like this had been coming for the last like 48 hours or so where kawai leonard is going

back to the toronto raptors in a deal for brandon ingram grady dick first round picks that

are unprotected in 2031 and 233 a 2027 pick swap that we'll talk about a little bit, and two second round picks.

Bryce, what is your immediate reaction to Kwai Leonard going back to Toronto?

I was surprised first and foremost.
