hello and welcome to the game theory podcast i'm your host host Sam Vucini. We're presented by The Athletic today on the show. Mark Shindler is here. We are going to dive deep into some of the teams that lost the Damian Lillard sweepstakes like the Toronto Raptors, Miami Heat, and Philadelphia 76ers. And talk about where they go from here, discuss. Generally, if they have options on

the trade market, did they try and just run this through, try and figure out whatever the

fuck Toronto is trying to do, because I truly am baffled by some of the things that came out

of Media Day there and some of the decisions they've made in

terms of their roster build.

Then we're going to talk a little bit about Devin Vassell and his 135 million guaranteed

extension over the course of five years.

Great deal for Devin Vassell and a deal that I'm excited to talk about because I'm not sure

enough people recognize how good Devin has gotten in San Antonio.

Finally, we might talk a little bit at the end about some Malcolm Brogden trade ideas

because I wrote on Tuesday, I guess this is, a dive into the Brogden trade potential,

whether or not Portland moves him. I do think is something of an open question. But we're going to talk about all of this. First, though, Mark Schindler is here.

Mark, what's going on, buddy? I'm good. I'm back in Ohio right now. So that was a trek to get back.

I left my favorite pair of shorts there in like the very tail end of summer.

So RIP to that. But no, man, things are good. I'm about to embark on doing a million college preseason things before I go out to the WMBA finals in New York for games three and potentially four.

So that's great. We got a lot going on, man.

How's everything on your end?
