And now the low welcome to the low post podcast live from an undisclosed location Ian

0:08.9

Begley from SNY Ian I did a segment with Kevin Pelt and the other day about the most

0:15.1

interesting under the radar offseason teams or teams that we just hadn't talked about

0:19.3

at all and I was kind of hoping he would pick the nicks and he didn't pick the nicks

0:24.2

he picked the calves and I picked the bucks but I wanted to save the nicks in reserve because

0:28.5

I feel like they were very quiet. They traded Obi-Toppin to the Pacers which we'll talk

0:34.7

about leaving a whole at Backup Power Forward and cutting bait on a heralded CAA draft prospect

0:41.3

sending him to an Eastern Conference rival, a real nicks rival actually. They have yet

1:26.3

It seems like it's going to be continuity, slow build, keep our chips, all our trade

1:34.4

chips intact to find another star if and when that becomes available and the nicks fan

1:42.3

could look at that and be like in another universe the nicks fan could look at all that

1:47.4

and say man we're really kind of just spin in our wheels but I think last season was so

1:52.5

good and winning a playoff series was massive for them for buying time. I think for this

1:59.8

sort of vision because if they had lost like they had to Atlanta two years ago it would
