Hello and welcome to the game theory podcast.

I'm your of Sam Vassini.

We are presented by The Athletic today on the show.

Danny Leroux is back in the building and we are going to run through and break down

the glorious, beautiful Southeast Division in the NBA as part of our off-season review for the 2021 off-season.

Danny Leroux, how you doing, man? Doing well. I'm enjoying a little bit of, let's call it our

version of peace and quiet now that Summer League is over now that the transactions have slowed to something even more faint than a trickle.

And it's, I don't love their, I don't love too long a time of this, but I like some time of this.

Yeah. And, you know, like I said on the last podcast that we recorded together, part of the reason that I'm banking a lot of these and recording them

is because I'm going on a two-week vacation. And by the way, that two-week vacation, because I live in

Melbourne right now, will be on my couch because unfortunately I cannot leave the house all that

often because we are locked down.

It is a very disappointing, disappointing way to live, but nonetheless, I understand why it's happening.

Danny enjoyed his time in Las Vegas, and before we started recording, was explaining

to me all of the food that he ate in Las Vegas going to Momofuku and

hattie bees and places like that in the Cosmo. Oh boy. What jealousy. An incredible

amount of jealousy on my part. Someday we'll be together again, my friend. Oh, yes. Okay. Let's start

and talk about the Southeast Division like we did with the previous podcasts.

We're going to go through these divisions alphabetically, which means we start with the Eastern Conference finalist Atlanta Hawks.

The Atlanta Hawks this offseason signed Trey Young to a five-year $172 million extension that does have

max language in it, correct, Danny?

It does.
