And along with him, we'll be Brad Roland over from the Lockdown Hawks podcast. Nobody does a better job covering the Hawks than Brad. I've known him for a very long time with our time over at the Locks-on Podcast Network. So really excited to be joined by them to break down what is a very competitive, very interesting division. The Hawks, the Magic. These are the two teams that figure to be at the top of things. We'll talk about them, who has the edge, the heat, as well as sort of in that mix. What do we make of their offseason

and what they look like post-Jimmy Butler? them, who has the edge, the heat, as well as sort of in that mix.

0:58.2

What do we make of their offseason and what they look like post-Jimmy Butler?

1:50.9

The reporting around it, if the NBA confirms that the reporting around it is real, is enough.

1:56.1

And frankly, I don't even know that they need to confirm all of it being real.

1:57.6
