Welcome to RealGM Radio. I am Danny Lur, your host, and so happy to have you

with us for this episode. This is the first of the Tiers podcast for the 2019-20 season.

Brought back Matt Moore of the Action Network to do these again this year.

Yeah, I've got mine, I think, pretty tight. I just, I can't wind of lumping everybody in kind of at the bottom because it's like the top I'm really, you're detailed about and you're trying to get very specific in and kind of narrow it and like, okay, there's an important distinction between these teams and these teams.
