Hello, welcome to the Hoop Collective Podcast. We talk about the NBA, which we're doing on Monday morning.

Joining me from an estate on a lake in Northern California,

Tim Bontemps.

Hello, Brian.

Joining me from the same estate on the same lake

in Northern California, I assume down the hall or upstairs or whatever, is Ban McMahon.

Howdy, partners? Looking across the lake right now at a dormant volcano, kind of ready to erupt a little bit,

tell you what, you go vacation with Bon Temps,

and what do you do?

You wake up in the morning and you podcast.

I know, and he wants you up early.

Yeah, hey, get up, go on. The band was up before me, for the record. he wants you up early

he wants you up early McMahon was up before me for the record

yeah well McMahon famously doesn't do anything before the clock strikes double

digits according to him but we're before before that right now

well east coast time we're not, West Coast time we are.

So I'm on my second cup of coffee.

All right, good man.

So Bon Tems, you had a nice piece of content that came out on Monday,

the survey. Well, first off, this is one of your signature survey moments when the signature things that you do, surveying folks throughout the year.

Tell us what this is and how many people that you talk to you before we go into it's actually into it.

Yeah, do an annual survey every summer of coaches and scouts and executives around the league talking about both what happened last year and what's going to happen this coming year talked
