look like joining me today. Discuss that and a lot of other topics is sean davis from lakers nation sean how are you doing i'm doing really good trevor thanks for me back on and yeah i can't wait for a free agency to start and i think it's going to be a little crazier than the draft and i had a bunch of fun with that too yeah i mean i think there's going to be a lot of movement, a lot of trade talk, a lot of things of that nature.
