Join as I am each and every week

by Seth Partnau and Mo Dekeel.

Fellas, we somehow made it to the end of the season. The Lakers won the title. So much has happened

in the last week. Like it feels like it's been about a month since we recorded.

A lot has happened in the last four hours.

I almost feel like there's too much news, but that's neither here nor there.

The bit of news we need to get into is right before we go to record.

News came out that Darryl Mori has stepped down as GM of the Houston Rockets.

I sort of felt like this was coming, right?

Like we all know the financial implications of his tweet about China. The writing has sort of been on the wall all year.

Yeah, I mean, I think even without the China stuff, I felt like, you know, the,

everybody said it when they made the Russell Westbrook trade, like that's not a more a trade that's not something he would do that's not he's not a morey type player like there was there was a whole underlining behind it who was pushing that trade and things like that and once that stuff begins to happen you you almost go like okay there's there's blood in the water

I think ever since the change of ownership with the rockets there's been kind of hints of this.
