0:00.0	Flying coach is back for a second season. Peter Shreger and Ramshead coach Sean McVeigh
0:04.4	are joined by guests from around the sports and entertainment world. They're discussing the
0:08.0	latest NFL news, telling stories from their careers and breaking down games from their unique
0:12.4	perspectives. Check out Flying Coach season two on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
0:17.4	What's up everybody? You're about to hear the latest episode of the answer,
0:20.6	Cirit and I recorded before two really crucial things happened. One, Javeil McGee is an Olympian.
0:26.0	That's a world we live in. So Javeil McGee is going to be replacing taking one of the roster
0:31.1	spots opened up by Kevin Love and Bradley Beale dropping off of the Olympic teams for various reasons.
0:35.3	When Cirit and I recorded, we were speculating about who could possibly take that spot.
0:39.7	It's going to be Keldon Johnson and Javeil McGee. I don't know if you gave me a million guesses.
0:43.8	I don't think I want to come up with Javeil McGee. So enjoy that segment of the podcast where we

0:55.8	be coming down the line in a couple of days. Dam talked Chris Haines today for Yahoo. And
1:02.3	I would not say he offered much clarity on his situation, but he certainly didn't say,
1:06.2	I'm in Portland for my entire career. Let's get this done together. There's a lot of talk
1:10.2	about accountability and getting better and feeling like the team's not good enough. So I would
1:14.0	not feel great about that if I was a Portland Trailblazer's fan. Dam Lillard could be on the move.
1:18.3	We don't know if it's going to happen. I think it might happen soon because of the draft. And
1:21.7	Cyril and I talked about that. So let's get into the answer. Hello and welcome to the Ritter
1:32.8	NBA show. It's the answer. I'm Chris Ryan. I'm joined by Cyril. So you were here to ask the
1:37.3	question, what else is happening in the NBA besides the NBA finals? We'll talk some finals later.
