Special Friday afternoon edition of the pod for your Friday night commute gonna do a little mini mailbag at the end

But first we have a lot of news to catch up on. Where would you like to start Danny?

Do you want to start with what just came down from Sam Amick of USA today that the hawks are nearing a buyout with air saw nearly a silver?

Yes, well we talked about that yesterday in the tanker matter episode and I think that's gonna be good for the hawks

I would be surprised if Ilya sova has that much has to give up that much great job by Ilya sova

Refusing to get traded so now he can pick his destination

Maybe a little bit of a error by the hawks and not try to put a non-guaranteed year on the end of that or something so they could still trade him

But nonetheless the Ilya sova it could help some teams as a bench for but I think it's perhaps more

Noteworthy because he is really the only guy they had in the front court

They're gonna be playing a traditional front court lineup who can shoot it all and so this will help that hawks tank tremendously and Ilya sova should

Generate some interest from teams. I don't think he's gonna start on a good team

But he can be a rotation player and then depending on the opportunity maybe get some playoff minutes

Which I'm sure will be exciting for him. He's bounced around so much in recent years and yeah

Yes, he has control over his own destiny and I think that's a good lead in to one of the things that we got with

Well, hold on a minute before we move on

Anywhere that seems I am sure he wouldn't be nearing this buyout were it not for the fact that he had somewhere else to go

But anywhere that comes to mind for you as a logical destination for him not particularly I think I got one for you

Okay, the Indiana Pacer they could use him they absolutely that I like that

I think and and they've got plenty of money to throw his way they do I could see I mean I haven't I haven't checked in on

Belize on a while. I don't know if Minnesota would rather have have him in the rotation than Belize

Yeah, the Clippers that may you could use them although they are still very impacted with the luxury tax

Maybe the box as well the they have some more breathing room below the tax now also
