Hey, yeah, I feel like Kobe in a fourth quarter.

This is the Namor MBA podcast.

We are brought to you by prize picks company.

Monday morning.

It's July 28th.

Thanks for being a little patient with the schedule this time of year.

It was nice to take a week off of doing shows following Summer League. And I wanted to, you know, say off the top here that that's going to kind of year. It was nice to take a week off of doing shows following Summer League. And I wanted to,

you know, say off the top here that that's going to kind of be the rhythm of episodes for the rest of this summer, August, into the beginning of September. It's going to be spotty. But it's my plan to do it this way rather than, you know, maybe some of you remember last summer we took all of August off. We're not going to do that. Spotty episodes.

I do think taking little pauses helps me taking a pause last week kind of helped me get more

excited or maybe more into doing a pod today spent a lot of time road tripping last week and was

in the league next season is talking about like championship equity next season what are the

odds that a team you know kind of ranking the teams of who's most likely to win a championship

you know are the calves more likely to win than the nix or you know who has better odds

of winning next season the clippers or the rockets i was thinking that you know that's of winning next season, the Clippers or the Rockets.

I was thinking that, you know, that's all just next season.

And I think from a wolf's perspective, this is a little bit more of an interesting conversation,

is talking about expected championships over the next few seasons.

I don't think the wolves have a great chance at winning a championship next year. The West is loaded. Not a lot of teams have a great chance at winning a championship next year. But I do think the wolves have some real championship equity over the next few years,

as you know, Ant theoretically continues to ascend into his prime, whatever, whatever.

So what really got me thinking about this or or what we're going to do today, was

Britt Robinson and I recorded the day after the NBA finals when Oklahoma City won the championship
