0:00.0	This is the Dane Moore MBA podcast brought to you prize picks coming at a Wednesday evening.
0:18.4	It's February 7th and we have a trade to get to.
0:22.2	The Wolves acquired Monta Morris. I have to pull this Monti, not Monty. They acquired Monta
0:28.1	Morris for Shake Milton, Troy Brown Jr. and the Wolves 20-30 second round pick. The plan for today's
0:34.7	show is to get to know who Monta Morris is as a basketball player.
0:39.7	To do that, we're bringing on Ryan Blackburn, who covers the Denver Nuggets for Mile High Sports.
0:45.7	Ryan covered Monta in Denver.
0:49.6	Monta was there for 2017 to 2022.
0:53.0	I just finished recording that conversation and and he was great
0:58.2	is just really stole his backlog of memory from from having covered Morris there. It's just

1:38.7	recording this about an hour or so after the news broke. But we're just trying to get to know who Morris is as a player.
1:47.6	And Ryan does a great job of bringing that for us.
1:51.2	What I want to do first quickly is to just sort of wrap up where this leads the wolves
1:57.0	assets and kind of where they sit from a roster construction standpoint, again,
2:02.1	as of Wednesday evening after the Morris trade. So quickly, let's hit on the money of the deal.
2:09.9	Nothing too crazy here. And probably most importantly, nothing long term committed to Morris, right?
