| 0:00.0 | Rapping up here on Take Command, two final buckets Logan that we have talked about throughout the show that we're now going to dive into. |
| 0:09.0 | We'll get to how the current roster lines up with Quinn and kind of what we think he will do with it in a moment but any final thoughts on the process right there was lots of consternation throughout lots of ups and downs, lots of interviews, and then ultimately, |
| 0:24.7 | you know, a lot of momentum in the media towards Ben Johnson. |
| 0:29.0 | In certain circles, well, you had other very plugged in, I would say the most plugged in people being like hold on like |
| 0:33.7 | let's settle down Johnson pulls out McDonald goes to Seattle ultimately they |
| 0:39.1 | get Quinn but he's the last guy and they're the last well I should say they're the last team to make the higher |
| 0:44.8 | any worries on how that all went down and how we landed here even if I think both of us see this |
| 0:51.1 | as something that very much potentially could work if some of the key questions we've laid out or answered in the right ways. |
| 0:57.0 | Honestly, I don't really have that big of a concern about it and I think the reason I say that is because just when you talk again when you |
| 1:03.5 | talked to people who were plugged in this wasn't like a one horse race it wasn't like the |

| 1:35.2 | one got Ben Johnson right no one got Bobby Sloick they both went back to their |
| 1:38.4 | respective teams McDonald well I think they you know there was very, very talented. I didn't talk to anybody |
| 1:45.4 | familiar with the process, but people that I know in Baltimore and they were like, you know, he does come across sometimes as a young guy. |
| 1:50.9 | So maybe in terms of just me totally, this is a total conjecture, maybe they didn't think he was ready. I don't know. But by the way, Josh Harris has a long history of hiring experienced coaches or at least guys that have been like you know his |
| 2:03.4 | first hire in Philly for the Sixers with Brett Brown long time Greg Popovich |
