Security is on 10.2.

Security, I locked myself out of my room,

and they literally, even with my, everything,

ID, they wouldn't let me inside.

They wouldn't let me inside my own damn room. So I tell you what, I'm out. I don't actually give a fuck that I told you I was at the R. You can't get me. You're going to find me at the Starbucks? No chance. Just got out of a nearly two-hour interview with the logo himself, Jerry West. I told them, uh, all right I'm going to do the intro, uh, before the pod,

like, so we don't do it, need to do it now. He goes, intro. What do I need an intro for? I'm like, you're right. You're right. You know what I mean? Like, you're right. Uh, we'll drop that on the heat check in the next couple of weeks. It was really, really good. We also got an interview with Nick Nurse coming up soon, which is awesome.

So check that out when it comes out.

I'm going to promote that fucking hard. But I'm going to go over some news around the league, then give you my initial impressions of the first half of Summer League itself. Let's quickly get into the news. DeAndrean's going to be on the move, folks. It's going to be happening. The big rumors here in Vegas is that the Indiana Pacer's probably going to make a move. They're going to give them an offer sheet. People are literally asking folks like, hey, when's an offer sheet coming? Is it going to come in the next 24 hours? Or is it going to come the next 48 hours? I mean, we know the offer sheet's coming. And that should finally set in motion

the end game for the big man. And the sons would only have 48 hours to either match or work

out a sign and trade or they'll lose him for absolutely nothing. I actually think, though,

that you can't do a sign and trade trade if you offer have an offer sheet.

So you have to either match or you get him for nothing.

So I think the CBA does not allow a team that has already had a competing team offer,

a free agent sign-in trade.

I think there's rules against them.

I actually ran into DeAndre Aiton, low-key, looking great.

He said he is laying low right now, currently laying low.
