All right, continuing a little bit different format than we have traditionally for our off-season grades.

We've usually tried to wait until the end of Summer League for a lot of the teams, but for the teams that

the draft pick doesn't really matter on, no reason that we can't do them now

seems like the market is pretty settled and unlike some minimum or minimum

adjacent free agents we will not be waiting for a Lowry Marketin or Brandon Ingram Tras or minimum

adjacent free agents who will not be waiting for a lottery market in or Brandon Ingram trade

as right now because those are just totally uncertain and we might be waiting until

August 6th for a resolution of all that so So we're gonna do the teams

that most of them were pretty good last year,

talk about their off seasons,

and we can begin in the Western Conference

with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Danny.

And last thing I'll say before we start,

listen to our last episode.

Actually, this could be a public bot,

so maybe we should go through it again,

a little bit of what our grading criteria are.

Sure.

So this is an organization grade, so that means ownership's decision to spend.

If you hire a general manager or coach or fire one of those, that matters too.

A C is average. a C is not bad, a C is average, and

grades are adjusted, we evaluate them based on the capability that a team had.
