| 0:00.0 | Alright, coming to you today from beautiful Quebec, Canada. |
| 0:03.9 | If you want to hear more about the adventures on this trip that we're on right now, |
| 0:08.9 | Nate B. Duncan is the Instagram, but as a podcast listener, you probably don't care about me personally. |
| 0:14.3 | In the slightest, you care about NBA basketball, and that's what we're here to talk about |
| 0:17.9 | with the off-season grades for the Eastern Conference while we start with the Hawks, Danny. |
| 0:22.8 | The Hawks are definitely a good one to kind of go through the idea of our rubric, |
| 0:28.3 | and it is the idea that it's how well you did with the assets that you had. |
| 0:34.4 | So whatever the timeline was, so it's a team that's a longer ways off like the Atlanta Hawks, |

| 1:15.5 | Yeah, and probably worth noting as well, other than just the raw ins and outs, |
| 1:19.6 | the trades that were made. So you recall the DeAndre Hunter trade. They had the number 8, 10, |
| 1:25.6 | 17, and 35 picks. They traded three of those. 8, 17, and 35, 400, and also had to take back |
| 1:32.1 | 12 million in relatively dead salary in Solomon Hill in that deal. Do you want to just talk about |
