We've got Woj! That's right. We're gonna go over it all. Peel, Zion, Lillard, Hard, Kyrie, Phoenix, the

0:18.1

drought, and something else is gonna be doing for the strap that I actually think is pretty

0:21.4

interesting on the broadcast. Did a day of yoga? We'll also talk about that. Not with Woj.

0:27.4

I'd like to ask you guys to give advice and join. Adrian Worszorowski of ESPN joins us this morning.

0:33.1

We're a week out from the draft, all the free agency stuff. It's good to catch up, man. Good to see you.

0:37.3

How are you? Orion, it's great to see you. Great to be with you. All right. So let's get through

0:42.7

as much of this as we can. We know that you reported that Bradley Beel and the Wizards appear to be

0:47.2

working on a potential trade for him going somewhere else. We both know Winger, you know, in charge now,

0:53.3

not a shock to see them kind of change course. What's the latest of Beel?

0:58.4

Porzingis will see what he does. He could opt in at a pretty big number. He could opt out,

1:26.8

become a free agent, et cetera. It's a little bit of an inflection point too for what you want to do

1:31.0

with that roster. And I think the, well, the conversation is among Beel, Winger and the Wizards,

1:38.8

Ted Leonsis, who he's been close to since he's got there 11 years ago and Mark Carlson, his agent is

1:44.9

if the Wizards want to rebuild, if that's the direction Michael Winger wants to go in,

1:51.6

does it make sense to look out there, see what might be there in the trade market? Teams are

1:56.0

certainly interested. They've been calling to see what that would all look like. And so, because he

2:01.6

has the no trade clause, you really have to work together. And because trade's got to work,

2:11.6

obviously, for both sides. So, Beel gets to the side where he goes or more so, he gets to the

2:19.8

side where he doesn't go. He doesn't necessarily get to the side where he goes. And Washington has
