0:00.0	Hey everyone, we had a couple of technical problems on today's show. Audio quality is still fine,
0:05.3	but it might start a little bit abruptly here, but hopefully you'll enjoy this locker room.
0:11.4	Bonus pod got a bunch of interesting stuff to get into. Some good debate about the Mav's
0:16.0	off season in particular. So enjoy. Our first person is Cameron. Cameron, you are on the air.
0:21.2	You're going, um, I wanted to ask about the uh, uh, next off season. I want to know about
0:28.4	maybe a player they can acquire that would fit and help them progress. And last week I um,
0:34.2	mentioned uh, players statistics and I had you guys guess. Uh, I want to do the same thing.
0:38.8	Oh no, no, no. Sorry, Nate. I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. It was just two and a half

1:33.7	Um, Eastern Conference. Tim Hardaway, Jr. Uh, no, Eastern Conference. Oh, Eastern Conference. Sorry.
1:38.0	Okay. I started guessing before I heard the end of the preamble. Okay. So this guy's good.
1:43.9	It coming off screens and shooting. He's good in ISO. Not very good on defense. I'm guessing he's
