Ladies and gentlemen, fellas, fellas, welcome into the NBA show today, where it's a five game

slate. Wasn't going to do an NBA video today. So I was a manageable slate to actually prep for

for a morning video. We'll probably do a live stream tonight at 4 or this afternoon at 4 p.m. East Coast

time. We will also have our that one dude NFL video out today. So a lot to get done before I take

a flight tomorrow. I'd like to at the front of this podcast and video,

say thank you all for the outpouring of support. Got a lot of text messages from people who are very

close to me. Not sure if they'll see this, but then a lot of people from the community via Twitter,

via Instagram. If you were not familiar, you can check my recent post on Instagram or Twitter,

and it was just somebody in my life that was very close to me for the first time, probably in my life. I mean, 24, so I guess this is somewhat fortunate, passed away. And it's something that's very difficult to deal with.

And making content might seem odd to some people through this, right? And instead of mourning some

stuff, but it just keeps me sane in my thoughts. So I appreciate all of the support for everything

that's happening. There probably won't be any content this upcoming weekend outside of a Patreon podcast, but I'll be continuing to make content today and then prepping stuff for tomorrow Friday into next week. And it'll be a

little bit of a TBA, TB dated on what the schedule will look like for next week. But I appreciate

all you guys a ton in advance. So thank you. This keeps me sane, prepping, keeping some out of my own

thoughts and heads. So thank you guys and girls so much. So to get into this one, like, subscribe, do all those things. I greatly appreciate that. It's a five games late with a good

amount of news. We have some more teams dealing with COVID stuff. We have some teams dealing with

trades today, right? Yesterday, the big James Hardin trade. If you're not familiar,

a four-team trade that sent Victor Lidop to the Houston Rockets to sent Carus Levert from the Brooklyn Nets to first reportedly the Rockets, but now he's on the Indiana at Pacers and the Pacers might have got the best out of that deal, right? Getting a younger,

I mean, I don't know what the overall contract situations are going to be looking like, but basically

getting the younger version of Victor Olipo without the injuries in Karris Levert. But a lot of things

changing today, already guys ruled out for Houston that we'll talk on and guys that aren't going to be there, like Victorolo Depot today, at least 99.9% sure due to COVID restrictions and also just getting traded yesterday.

Usually you have to pass a physical and get there in time.
