On today's episode of the mismatch, we're talking about three things we're looking forward to

from this coming off season, as well as the latest rumblings for when next season could

end up starting.

One thing we didn't hit was the Pacer's Hiring Nate Bjorkren as their next head coach

that came out after we recorded, so we'll talk about that on Friday.

Anyway, here's today's mismatch.

Welcome to the Ringer NBA show.

I'm Chris Vernon, join me in doing what he does every Tuesday from the Ringer.com is Kevin

O'Connor, aka Kevin O'Bomer, Kevin O'Conflict, Kevin O'Camera, Kevin O'Climor, Kevin O'Concert,

Kevin O'Candyland, Kevin O'Connor.

Vernon, what's going on this Tuesday?

We are officially in the off season, and today we are going to each bring to the table

three things we look forward to in this upcoming off season.

But as we start the show today, I do want to comment on what our boss, Bill Simmons, and

then he went on a podcast with Zach Lowe and they kind of discuss it a little bit.

And that is next season.

Before we look to the off season, we do need to kind of understand when, when is next

season?

These guys have clearly done a lot of talking to people throughout the league after listening

to them.

I tried to call around and find out what people knew.

And I think if I for those that have not listened, just do some this up.
