It's the Lockdown Podcast. I'm Anthony Erwin. I'm joined Pete Zayas now for the second time because the new microphone

that I was just about to brag about just cut out so yeah you're like oh yeah it's great it's

it's great. It's. We're going. Everything is going great. We have a ton to get to from over the weekend. We have the NBA's new policy regarding resting on nationally televised games.

Clippers take another L, you know, you hate to see it, really you do. We have the debate that Pete and I were having from before the weekend regarding Kyrie Irving and media availability and his choice not to do it or the report.

The message that he sent out there didn't say that he wasn't going to do it.

It was Brian Wynhorse who later came out and reported that he was not going to participate in any

media availability this year.

So Pete and I talked about it on Twitter and now we want to expand on our thoughts here, and I actually think the two

topics are actually kind of connected. So that'll be segments one and two. And then finally,

we haven't talked about the Quinn Cook thing, which for some reason has been polarizing.

Which we always got to have something to, you know, like your fans, you got to have something to be bad about.

The off season was going too well. We haven't yelled at each other yet.

And then like, Quinn Cook, then like Quinn Cook too by the way

who like everybody was sad to see go and then they announced them back and the people who were

sad to see him go are like no no what do we have?

It's like that guest, you're like, oh, I'm so sorry to see you leave and then they, you know,

they came back right, their flight got canceled or something.

Right, right.

I'm happy to have him back, but I get the other side of the equation.

Yeah, so we're going to discuss the two sides of that discussion.

The place that I wanted to start to, I said was with this NBA policy regarding teams.

I want to make sure I get the language here right.
