This is the day more NBA podcast brought to you by the Genesis Company coming at your Monday evening.

0:18.9

It's May 29th.

0:21.2

And if you listen to this on Tuesday, I would assume it will be the only podcast episode in your basketball feed that won't be about game seven of heat Celtics or a finals preview.

0:31.5

This is a wolves episode.

0:33.4

Honestly, what I wasn't really expecting to do.

0:35.8

But on Sunday morning, I saw an article at canishoopis.com titled, Why Should the Wolves Do Everything Possible to Acquire Scoot Henderson?

0:45.2

And joining me today are the co-authors of that article, Jack Borman, who's the site manager at Canis and Tyler Metcalfe who writes for Canis as a Wolves writer, but also

lining up the factors that make guys set up the article did a good job of, like, lining up the

1:45.3

factors that make this a reasonable conversation to have, or at least a reasonable May
