Summary

Caitlin Cooper from over at Indy Cornrows and SB Nation joins the show. Caitlin is one of the few people that I think legitimately makes me sound dumb when she talks about basketball, so I had her on to talk about Deandre Ayton, what Phoenix seems to be doing with Ayton, and why the Pacers make a ton of sense if they do indeed decide to give him a restricted free agency offer, as has been reported. Then, we chat a bit about Donovan Mitchell, how all of the Ayton, Mitchell, Kevin Durant stuff could be connected, and how his game fits with a potentially different organization, particularly the Heat and Knicks. Then, we chat a bit about Summer League, including Caitlin's impressions of Benn Mathurin and Keegan Murray. Oh, and some love for two of her favorite players at the end, Tyrese Haliburton and Domantas Sabonis Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast.
0:09.1	I'm your Osam Svacini.
0:10.1	We are presented by The Athletic today on the show, one of my absolute favorite writers
0:15.7	in existence writing about basketball.
0:18.7	It's Caitlin Cooper.
0:20.4	Caitlin, what's going on? I want to give you the floor
0:23.2	to tell all of the people, all of your outlets that you work for and that you write about the
0:27.4	Indiana Pacers and the NBA at large for. Right. So I write about the Pacers mainly at Indy Cornrose,
0:32.9	which is SB Nation's Indiana Pacers blog. And then occasionally I do freelance pieces, mainly also about
0:37.9	the Pacers, but occasionally some other teams at SB Nation's main site. And then I've also done a
0:42.2	freelance piece at 538 on just defensive perception that I think is pretty timeless.
0:47.4	Yeah, Caitlin, I think, has this ability to break down basketball that is almost unlike anyone else working in the
0:55.8	industry. So I've wanted to have her on for a while. It's that you predominantly cover the
1:00.3	Pacers. And the Pacers don't always make the most news is maybe the fair way to put it, right?
1:08.2	Now they seem to at least be in the market for De'Andre Aiton. And I wanted to talk to
1:14.7	Caitlin because I know that because they're in the market for D'Andre Aiton, I know she's done
1:19.7	quite a bit of work into D'Andre. So I want to talk about D'Andre. Obviously, there's
1:25.3	this Adrian Wojnerowski report that Donovan Mitchell is more available for trade than maybe what was initially thought when they traded Rudy Gobert.
1:37.2	And then finally, we're going to talk a little bit about Summer League.
1:39.3	We're going to talk a bit about Ben Matherin, who obviously plays for the Indiana Pacers.
1:43.4	I want to talk a little bit about Keegan Murray as well, maybe some of Caitlin's other
1:46.6	impressions that she's seen.
