Oh, I sound now.

Did you ask Pop that question?

Let's do it.

Welcome to the Athletic NBA show.

One day, on the Athletic Podcast, No.

It's a scary, scary times, man.

Ready to rock and roll, everybody.

It is another edition of Hoops and Jason on the Athletic NBA show, David Alder Chair, DC.

Marcus Thompson ordered to take vacation by the suits at the Athletic.

Didn't want to do it, but he's on vacation.

Abley pitch hitting for him is our guy, Tony Jones from the Athletic, covers the Utah Jazz like nobody else.

TJ, what's up, man?

How are you?

Going on, man. How's everything with you? I'm good, man. I'm good. I'm good. I just don't need any more trades before training camp starts. I can't promise. Oh, that's right. Your squad, yeah, you're going to have a couple more probably before the start. I mean, the jazz are open for business now that they've made, made the big trade.

So, right.

Well, we're going to get into that because we're fortunate.

We're going to talk about the big trade, obviously, the Donovan Mitchell trade to Cleveland.

Now, wanted to get somebody who was familiar with Cab's history, even though she's

moved on to bigger, brighter, better, our pal, Angel Gray, reporter extraordinaire. Thank you for joining

us. It's a pleasure. Obviously, no one can say no to you. Thank you so much for everything that you do.

Oh, you'd be surprised. You'd be surprised, Angel. Listen in my way, you know. Oh, I appreciate it. It's a pleasure. Thank you so much for having me. I want to get, now, you did the dream this year, right? I did the WM. I did. You did the basketball tournament, which I love, by the way. It's one of my favorite tournaments.
