All right. Good Thursday, everyone. Thank you so much for waiting just a bit. It had to move things around due to some personal matters, but we are ready to rock now.

0:11.3

And, Jen, I was really glad that you wrote on this because I very much wanted to talk to you about your impressions of Tim Connolly leaving the Denver Nuggets to assume the same president

0:24.0

of basketball operations role in Minnesota. Yeah, I think it's a coup for the Tim Roles and a

0:30.7

loss for the Nuggets. Tim Connolly has done a great job, especially in the draft, which in those

0:36.6

type of markets needs to be the lifeblood of the team

0:39.1

because they're not going to be on the short list for high-level free agents most of the time.

0:44.9

And it's the second time this has happened to Denver, right?

0:47.8

They lost Massa Yujii the same way without any compensation.

0:53.0

And I thought it was pretty remarkable that Connolly, even though

1:31.2

disappointing that they weren't able to step up and keep, you know, one of the league's better

1:38.3

executives and lost him basically for nothing right while they're in their window of potentially competing for a championship.

1:46.3

Yeah, whoever Tim Conley's agent is, and I don't know who that is, or maybe it was himself,

1:51.3

but to get that provision in there, because everyone kind of wondered, why is it that they're not getting

1:56.6

compensation if he's under contract? And so to have that set up in his country,

you ever heard of anything like that before? I think you were the first to report it.
