Welcome to this league. I'm cutting

0:03

in the rule of twenty four hour NBA news.

0:05

This's you, Chris

0:08

Haynes. It's so time, work's

0:11

time, It's so time.

0:17

This league uncut is underway and on

0:19

fire. This

0:21

should be a good one. Hey,

0:24

everyone, welcome in to

0:26

the latest addition of

0:29

this league uncut. An

0:31

instant reaction addition

0:34

to some breaking news in

0:37

hashtag this league. Because the Lakers

0:39

on Friday, they have made

0:42

the expected official formally

0:45

parting ways with their

0:47

coach, Darvin Ham. I am

0:50

coming to you in solo

0:52

audio dispatch form in

0:54

the wake of Ham's dismissal

0:57

Friday, because Chris Haynes and I

1:00

we've both been running around all over

1:02

the place on playoff assignments. Chris

1:04

has been working the Eastern Conference in Round

1:07

one. I've been going

1:09

back and forth between Dallas

1:11

and LA covering the Mavericks Clippers

1:13

series, so between

1:16

travel, time zone clashes,

1:19

we just haven't been able to connect since

1:22

we recorded Monday's pod the

1:25

way we had hoped. We will rectify

1:27

that. I promise you we will fix that asap.

1:30

But in today's pod,

1:33

doing it this way, solo essay style,

1:36

hopefully we can catch you up on

1:38

everything happening, starting of course,

1:40

with the Lakers firing of

1:42

Ham, and the signs were building

1:44

that this is where it was heading, given

1:47

the Lakers inability to get out of the

1:49

first round, given

1:51

the Lakers inability to

1:53

hold several leads in

1:55

the Denver Series, even

1:58

after a trip to the Western Conference Finals

2:00

last season, winning the

2:02

n Season Tournament as

2:05

recently as December, pressure

2:08

had been mounting on him four

2:11

weeks now. He certainly had no

2:13

shortage of detractors this season regarding

2:16

lineups, rotations, and

2:19

more recently, how he was connecting with Anthony

2:21

Davis given some of the stuff that

2:24

we heard a d say. But

2:29

look, the Lakers, not

2:32

unlike Phoenix. They've got roster issues

2:34

to address, not as many as Phoenix

2:36

maybe, But a coaching change

2:38

is only going to fix so much here. And

2:42

that's especially true because the

2:45

list of established championship

2:48

coaches out there available

2:50

to the Lakers, it's very, very short. You're

2:52

already hearing tons of talk about ty

2:55

Lou as a potential Lakers

2:57

coaching candidate. Tylu is still under

2:59

contract to the Clippers. No matter what

3:01

happens later tonight in Dallas,

3:04

Tylu is not available to the Lakers

3:06

as we speak, and don't forget that

3:09

the Lakers passed on the chance to hire

3:11

Taran Lou in the first place, back

3:14

when they ended up hiring Frank Vogel, offered

3:17

the job to ty Lou, couldn't come to terms

3:20

with Tylo, and Tylu ended up coaching

3:22

the Clippers. Mike Budenholzer,

3:25

three years removed from steering the Bucks

3:28

to a championship, he is available, and

3:32

what the Lakers will ultimately

3:34

have to decide here is do they narrow

3:36

their focus to coaches who have

3:39

not just experience but title experience

3:42

like Budenholzer, or

3:47

would the Lakers Fresh

3:50

off these last two seasons

3:52

with Darvin Ham,

3:54

are the Lakers prepared to seriously

3:56

consider another first time coach like

3:59

JJ Reddick. The ESPN

4:01

broadcaster Lebron

4:03

James podcast partner, I've been writing

4:05

about JJ Reddick's potential candidacy

4:08

in Lakerland since Tuesday,

4:11

but again, we don't know yet

4:14

whether the Lakers would

4:16

be willing to hire another first

4:18

time coach after moving

4:21

away from Darvin Ham so quickly,

4:23

even a first time coach like Reddick, who,

4:26

obviously, by virtue of their new

4:28

podcast, he's already got a working

4:31

relationship with Lebron

4:33

James and wherever

4:36

and however this thing goes. The

4:39

NBA off season coaching carousel

4:42

just got its first significant nudge. The

4:44

pre existing openings before

4:46

this one, we know Brooklyn has already hired

4:49

Jordi Fernandez from Sacramento

4:51

staff to be the next new coach.

4:53

So the only other openings at the

4:55

moment are Charlotte and Washington.

4:57

Those teams, of course, at the bottom of

5:00

the East standings much lower

5:02

profile jobs than the Laker job.

5:05

And when we talk about the Laker

5:07

job, we are talking about one

5:09

of the hottest seats in professional sports.

5:12

You heard Darvin Ham the other day, right

5:14

after the Lakers were eliminated

5:17

with a game five loss in Denver.

5:20

Two straight seasons the Lakers are knocked

5:22

out of the playoffs by the Denver

5:25

Nuggets. You heard Darvin Ham say

5:27

that his two years in that seat had

5:29

been quote a hell of a time.

5:34

He was already speaking like a coach,

5:37

like a man who knew what was coming. And

5:40

Ham's dismissal it's just the

5:42

start of what I expect is going to

5:44

be a pretty

5:47

frenzied off season because

5:49

we had so many teams We're going

5:51

to talk about this next. So many

5:53

teams came into the season with

5:56

big expectations and lost early.

5:58

And just think about what we've

6:00

already seen here as

6:03

the first round of these playoffs dribbled

6:06

to a close. Let's

6:08

go through it. Stephen

6:11

Curry, Draymond Green, Clay

6:13

Thompson and the Golden State Warriors,

6:16

Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, Bradley

6:18

Beal and the Phoenix Suns,

6:21

Lebron James, Anthony Davis

6:23

and the aforementioned Lakers, Jimmy

6:26

Butler, bam Adebayo and

6:28

the Miami Heat, Janna

6:30

Santetokumpo, Damian Lillard and

6:32

the Milwaukee Bucks, and finally,

6:35

last night, Joel Embiid, Tyrese

6:38

Maxey and the Philadelphia

6:40

seventy six ers. Now, you guys

6:42

know, I am no Vegas expert,

6:44

so I'm not quite sure how to calculate

6:47

this, but just imagine the odds

6:49

you could have gotten in Vegas, Let's

6:52

say around Halloween if

6:54

you had made a six

6:56

way bet, assuming

6:59

that's even league. I really don't know if it is,

7:01

but let's assume that you made

7:03

a six way bet.

7:05

Did I get that right? One? Two, three, four,

7:08

five, six teams that

7:10

none of those Star Layden six

7:13

teams, not a single one of

7:15

those six teams would reach the second

7:17

round of the NBA playoffs. That's

7:19

where we are in this league. After a

7:22

pretty chaotic Thursday night, you

7:27

had Milwaukee and Philly

7:29

the latest marquee teams to be ushered

7:32

straight into an early offseason.

7:35

And yeah, it's

7:37

going to be wild, stressful,

7:39

complicated when you

7:42

look at all those teams and

7:45

the difficult pathways almost all

7:47

of them face to really

7:50

improving their rosters. I

7:53

really should include New Orleans in this conversation.

7:55

After Pelicans GM David Griffin,

7:58

he came out after the Oklahoma

8:00

City inflicted sweep of

8:03

the Zion Williamson lists Pels.

8:06

David Griffin all but promised that

8:09

the Pelicans are going to be very active in

8:11

the trade market this offseason, so that

8:13

instantly as you start

8:15

asking questions about who is

8:18

likely to be moved there brandon

8:21

Ingram, is that a trade scenario

8:23

that the Pelicans are going

8:25

to look into. There are so many

8:28

significant and tricky decisions

8:31

that will have to be made by all of

8:34

these teams leaving the playoffs

8:36

early. And look, we cannot forget and we shouldn't

8:39

forget, we should never put this to

8:41

the side. Injuries have absolutely

8:43

overwhelmed the whole league

8:46

in the first round of these playoffs.

8:49

You know, I mentioned Zion there

8:51

not being available for New Orleans,

8:54

and we know what's happened in

8:56

Milwaukee. Game was able to play

8:58

in Game six, but Ya was not for

9:00

the Bucks. And we

9:04

can go on and on and on because there are that

9:06

many injuries and they're

9:11

really you struggle to find

9:13

a first round series or any team in

9:15

the postseason that has gone unscathed

9:18

here. I mean, not even coaches are

9:21

safe right now. I am absolutely

9:23

sick for Minnesota's

9:25

Chris Finch about

9:27

the knee injury he sustained when

9:30

everyone's favorite Timberwolf, the

9:32

newly minted the NBA's newly

9:34

minted teammate of the Year, Mike

9:36

Conley, plowed into Fitch

9:39

on the sideline in the

9:41

wolves sweep clinching win

9:44

over Phoenix, and it inflicted a serious

9:46

knee injury that required surgery. It

9:49

will absolutely suck if

9:52

Finch's ability to coach against

9:55

the Nuggets in the Tim Connolly

9:57

Bowl is comp

10:00

and it almost surely

10:02

has to be given how serious this injury

10:04

was. It is so brutal and

10:07

unfair to Finch and look

10:11

cruel as this is. We will have time to

10:13

come back to that series to laser

10:17

in on the second round and discuss the

10:19

Wolves matchup with

10:21

the defending champions from Denver that

10:24

is to come. The

10:32

immediate focus this week is what's

10:34

been happening with all

10:36

these headliner teams that have been

10:38

ousted. And we got our answer in

10:41

terms of Darvin Ham in Lakerland.

10:43

But again, I'm

10:46

not sure that a coaching change is

10:48

going to drastically alter

10:52

and raise the Lakers

10:54

overall ceiling Lebron

10:59

James is affected at this point.

11:01

All the signals suggest that

11:03

he will stay with the Lakers. We don't know

11:06

yet what the contract structure will be. But

11:09

the real curiosity,

11:11

yes, the Lakers have a coaching search to conduct

11:14

right now, but the real curiosity what

11:16

kind of trade can the Lakers make to

11:19

upgrade their roster. Remember

11:21

they didn't do a deal at the trade deadline

11:23

in February with the one first

11:26

round pick they had available to move at that time.

11:29

But I thought that was the right call, and

11:31

we're seeing exactly why now because they

11:33

have to do something significant now and now

11:35

they will have three first round

11:38

picks at their disposal to

11:40

make a significant trade

11:42

at the June draft or is it early July.

11:45

Atlanta's Trey Young. We've been

11:47

talking about him as a potential Lakers

11:49

trade target since February.

11:52

But will that list

11:54

expand I suspect that it will. I

11:56

think it's too early in the

11:58

postseason for the trade market

12:00

to really have crystallized in

12:03

terms of potential players the Lakers

12:05

can go after. I think in the next four to six

12:07

weeks there will be another name or

12:09

two or three who emerges as

12:11

a potential Lakers trade

12:14

target. So and honestly,

12:16

we could have started this rundown this portion

12:19

of the discussion with Phoenix because

12:22

Frank Vogel is under

12:25

no shortage of pressure

12:28

in terms of his job security in Phoenix.

12:31

And that's because, unlike the Lakers,

12:33

the Suns don't have easy pathways

12:36

to improving

12:39

their team. And that's why

12:43

there's been so much talk already

12:46

about Frank Vogel after a

12:48

forty nine and thirty three season in

12:50

which he only had his three star players

12:53

Booker, Durant and Beale. They only played

12:55

together in forty one of the eighty two games.

12:58

That's why you're hearing so much about

13:01

Frank Vogel's job status because

13:06

meaningfully changing this underachieving

13:09

roster is going to be

13:11

incredibly difficult for

13:13

the Suns because of all the restrictions

13:16

they face as a second

13:19

apron luxury tax team.

13:21

With apologies, of course, to

13:23

Sons owner Matt Ishbia, who

13:25

had the temerity to proclaim

13:28

the following at a news

13:30

conference Wednesday.

13:31

Oh, it's extremely fixable. I mean, let's

13:34

just be real. Although this isn't a cool narrative and the national

13:36

media really won't want to play it out there, but like ask

13:38

the other twenty nine gms, twenty

13:41

six of them would trade their whole team for our

13:43

whole team, and our whole in our draft picks and everything as

13:45

it is, Like, the house is not on fire. We're in great

13:47

position. It's not hard to fix it. It's not like we're

13:49

like, hey, we don't have enough talent to win a champion.

13:51

We have enough talent to win a championship, right, Do

13:53

we have enough continuity? We have time together, Like,

13:55

there's a lot of things we can look at. Do we have like the

13:58

right leadership in place? Do we have to add some pieces

14:00

around? It's not like we don't have people that can score

14:02

the Babel not that play defense and

14:04

have one chance, like we have all the things, and so

14:07

how fixable is it? And I mean, if

14:09

I read the media, I would think we have a

14:11

lot of problems. But luckily I get

14:13

to spend time with you know, the best players

14:15

in the world. In my opinion, the best coach is

14:17

GMS see all these people, and I get to spend

14:20

time with our people and say, we're in really great

14:22

shape. And I wouldn't trade our team

14:24

or our situation for anyone else's except

14:26

for I'd like to be playing right now. But besides that, for

14:28

like, how going into the offseason, I feel great about it.

14:30

It's not like there's a lot of other teams that have good players

14:33

that have to resign them or they're going to

14:35

lose them, or that they might they're unrestrict your free agents.

14:37

Like our starting five's coming back.

14:38

I feel very good about it. Some truly

14:40

impressive and fascinating

14:43

defiance there from matt Ishbia,

14:45

But no, dare

14:47

I say that twenty six of twenty

14:49

nine teams would not trade

14:51

situations with the Phoenix Suns, And

14:54

no, the Sons of Phoenix

14:56

are not regarded to be in a great

14:59

position, as he also

15:01

claimed there, and I would

15:03

also suspect that Ishbia will

15:06

soon be able to confirm all of this for himself

15:09

once this offseason gets going in earnest

15:12

and the Sons try to make roster

15:14

changes if they don't want

15:16

to trade Kevin Durant or

15:19

Devin Booker, and I strongly doubt they

15:21

want to do either. Can

15:23

they trade use of Nurkic? Can

15:26

they trade Grayson Allen after they

15:28

just extended him? That couldn't even happen until

15:31

October. Grayson Allen is not

15:33

trade eligible until next season starts,

15:35

So just very limited options for

15:38

the Suns going forward roster

15:40

wise. Miami, the

15:43

Heat's response to an early exit will

15:46

start with extending

15:48

Jimmy Butler's contract or not extending

15:52

Jimmy Butler's contract after a season

15:55

in which, yes, Butler only

15:57

appeared in sixty regular season games,

15:59

but he all so performed absolutely

16:02

heroically in

16:04

the play in Tournament. Remember, he played

16:06

out the opening game of

16:08

the play in Tournament against Philly

16:11

on a badly spraying knee,

16:14

and he nearly led Heat culture to

16:16

a win over Philly in that one. The Heat

16:19

don't have to extend Butler. He

16:21

turns thirty five in September, But

16:24

what will it do to the relationship if they don't

16:26

extend him after For

16:29

so long now, Butler

16:31

has been the central figure of

16:34

the whole heat culture movement

16:37

post Dwayne Wade

16:39

the Bucks. I

16:42

am absolutely relieved for them that

16:45

Jannis Antetokumpo did not try

16:47

to play in Game six. Hearing

16:49

Yannis speak to reporters

16:51

in Milwaukee on Friday on

16:54

the day after the Bucks elimination, he

16:56

really didn't sound close, But

16:59

I have to say I was also I was

17:01

flat out frightened for

17:03

Milwaukee that Chris's

17:07

guy, Damian Lillard did insist

17:09

on playing in Game six with

17:12

a less than pristine achilles.

17:14

I'm super relieved for Dame

17:17

on the Bucks that there was no apparent

17:19

further damage. And I

17:21

mean, look, I understand they had a shot

17:24

to if they could have won Game six

17:26

in Indianapolis. This thing is now a

17:28

Game seven decider in Milwaukee,

17:31

but man, that I felt like they were risking

17:33

a lot just to have Dame on

17:35

the floor. And now

17:38

that it's over, this was an absolutely

17:40

nightmarish season in

17:42

Brewtown. It began

17:44

with such promise no, there

17:46

will be no comeback from three to one down

17:49

for Doc Rivers. And

17:52

now that they're heading into the offseason, I

17:54

wrote about this as well earlier in the

17:56

week, teams

17:59

are already hope, crossing

18:01

their fingers tightly wishing,

18:04

praying that Yannis

18:06

is moved to rethink his future as

18:09

a Milwaukee Buck, even though it was just

18:11

last October that the

18:14

Yanas response to the Damian

18:17

Lillard trade acquisition was

18:19

to immediately sign a three year max

18:21

extension with Milwaukee.

18:24

But that's not gonna stop potential

18:28

Yannis trade suitors from lusting after

18:32

the idea that

18:34

he is somehow unsettled. There anew

18:44

and then the Sixers. I

18:46

mean, it's been more than twenty seasons

18:48

now since we've seen Philadelphia

18:51

in the Conference finals. This

18:54

time they didn't even get the chance to slam

18:56

into their usual second round wall,

18:59

losing to the Knicks in six

19:01

games. But when

19:04

we look at Philly, first of all, this

19:07

does not have the feel of another

19:09

playoff face plant,

19:12

a feeling that the Sixers and their fans know

19:14

all too well. I mean,

19:16

this time Philly lost

19:18

a series filled with haymakers and

19:20

bonkers endings. Okay, they lost it

19:22

to the Knicks, but they did so

19:25

with Joel Embiid rushing

19:27

back from a knee injury, probably faster

19:30

than he should have, and that knee injury

19:33

it dropped Philly from second to seventh

19:35

in the East. And

19:38

unlike pretty much every other team we've

19:40

talked about here so far, the

19:42

Sixers really do have some

19:45

tangible hope for the future because they're

19:47

gonna have more than fifty million in

19:50

cap space this summer to try to find

19:52

that third star to pair

19:54

with Embiid and the rising

19:56

Tyrese Maxey. And look, the

19:59

free agent market is not teaming with

20:01

wonderful options. But

20:04

when you have cap space, you can also make trades.

20:07

You can trade players into cap

20:09

space. And I think we know that Darryl Morey

20:11

loves to make a trade or two when

20:14

he has the chance. And so I

20:17

think all of Philadelphia right now is trying

20:19

to work out how Tobias

20:21

Harris could go scoreless in twenty

20:23

nine minutes, everyone

20:27

naturally concluding that this will

20:30

be the last time we see Tobias

20:32

Harris in a Philly uniform.

20:35

But look, the Sixers

20:37

as we speak, Yes, their season is over,

20:40

but they are

20:43

seen as the

20:45

foremost threat on the NBA map

20:50

to swipe Paul George away from the Clippers.

20:53

The Orlando Magic also have to be in

20:55

that conversation, but it's

20:58

the Sixers who have the clip most

21:00

concerned here, and

21:03

I'm talking about long term concerns, of

21:05

course, the immediate concern for the Clippers.

21:09

Just in a few hours after I

21:11

finish recording this, I am headed

21:14

straight to the American Airline Center for

21:16

Game six in Dallas Friday

21:19

night. The Mavericks will have another

21:21

opportunity just hours after this episode

21:24

drops to bring the Clippers

21:26

season to an end and finally

21:28

avenge those first

21:31

round playoff losses to Kawhi

21:33

Leonard and Paul George and the Clippers

21:35

in both twenty twenty and twenty

21:37

twenty one. And I have to say it is this is

21:39

such a wild night in Dallas because

21:42

Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever

21:45

are in town for Caitlin

21:48

Clark's first WNBA exhibition

21:50

game. That's happening

21:52

here in town or

21:55

in the Greater DFW area same

21:58

night as the Maverick's chance

22:00

to close out a playoff

22:03

series at home for the

22:05

first time in twenty eleven.

22:07

Unfortunately, these two massive

22:10

games are in completely different

22:12

places. It would have been wonderful if

22:14

somehow this could have been a doubleheader

22:18

at the AAC with

22:21

Caitlin Clark playing in her first exhibition

22:24

game in the WNBA, followed

22:27

by mas Clippers game six.

22:29

How amazing would that have been to have both

22:31

of these games in the same place. There's

22:34

no way to be in the

22:36

same place. And I will

22:38

be at the playoff game

22:41

again as the Mavericks try to close

22:43

out a playoff opponent

22:46

at home for the first time since

22:49

they're run to a championship in twenty

22:51

eleven, and

22:54

if it happens tonight, then the Clippers concerns

22:56

they immediately shift fully to trying

22:58

to hang on to join Origin free agency

23:01

and trying to do a new deal

23:03

with Tron Lou

23:05

because they need to extend Tylu.

23:07

Tylu should not be in the

23:10

last year of his deal, and Kawhi

23:13

Leonard he was only healthy enough to play

23:15

in two games

23:18

of this series. This is the Clippers

23:20

third series against the Mavericks in the space

23:23

of five years, and Kawhi

23:25

is the only member of

23:27

that Clippers corps who is signed for

23:29

the long term. Paul George,

23:32

James Harden, Tylu

23:35

all of them need new deals

23:37

as LA's other team prepares

23:40

to relocate to Inglewood.

23:42

Of course, next season they'll be playing in the new and two

23:44

at Dome. And basically

23:48

now Orlando has to win a Game

23:51

six at home against Cleveland, or the

23:53

Clippers have to find a way to steal another

23:55

win in Dallas without Kawhi. That's

23:57

the only way we're going to get a Game seven

24:00

in this first round. It did look

24:03

like the Knicks and Sixers might be heading

24:06

to go the distance after Maxie and

24:08

Philly found a way to steal

24:10

that crazy Game five at

24:12

the Garden. But

24:15

now we're just down to two

24:18

outstanding series. Calves

24:20

lead the Magic three to two, Mavericks

24:22

lead the Clippers three two. Those

24:24

series could be wrapped up by end

24:26

of business tonight, and

24:29

look, soon enough, Round

24:31

two will be here the

24:34

Tim Connelly Bowl. We will be talking about

24:36

that a lot Timberwolves

24:39

Nuggets in the second round. We

24:41

know we're getting Nicks Pacers in

24:43

the East second round, and that one, of course

24:45

serves up a delicious subplot of

24:48

Jalen Brunson. Remember he

24:50

only played ten minutes in

24:52

a Game seven in

24:55

the last game he ever played with

24:57

Rick Carlyle as his coach in Dallas,

25:00

and now Jalen Brunson will

25:02

be leading the Knicks, although they

25:04

are still the banged up Knicks. He

25:06

will be leading the Knicks against the

25:08

Carlisle led Pacers in round

25:11

two, the Thunder and the Celtics. They still

25:13

await the identities of their

25:15

second round opponents. But

25:18

before we go, we do need to point out

25:20

that the Celtics, after

25:23

months and months and months

25:25

of anticipation that

25:28

Boston would potentially reunite with Milwaukee

25:30

or Philadelphia, or maybe even both

25:33

in the playoffs, the Celtics now

25:35

have to beat neither to

25:37

get to the NBA Finals again, which

25:39

is probably a good thing given

25:43

that Christops Porzingis is now

25:45

out indefinitely with a calf strain,

25:48

because of course, we needed yet another injury.

25:51

I do think the Celtics can win two

25:53

more rounds and get back to the finals without

25:56

Porzingis, so they can

25:58

play it safe and give him as much time

26:01

as possible to recover, because

26:03

they do need something

26:05

close to a full steam poor

26:08

Zingis if they're matching

26:10

up with Denver

26:12

in the NBA Finals, or even if Minnesota

26:14

gets there with all of its size

26:17

in the NBA Finals. Boston's

26:19

gonna need Porzingis and

26:22

the length and versatility he brings

26:25

both to their offense and

26:28

their defense. All

26:31

Right, I think that will pretty

26:33

much get us caught up for

26:36

the week that was heading into Friday

26:38

nights games. As I mentioned,

26:42

been kind of a whirlwind for Chris and I. He's

26:45

been traveling. I've been traveling. But

26:49

Sunday night or Monday night at the latest, we

26:51

will reconnect and we will

26:54

dive further into all of this. The coaching

26:56

carousel, the offseason chatter about

26:58

potential player moves. You

27:00

watch, this stuff is going to start to really

27:03

spark up now that so many

27:05

of these teams that were expected to

27:07

do big things this season, now that so

27:10

many of them have been sent

27:12

home. And I

27:14

mentioned the Warriors in there. We didn't even get a chance

27:16

really to touch on the complicated decisions

27:19

they face when it comes to trying

27:21

to enhance their roster. Let alone, the Kings

27:23

and the Bulls and the Hawks, the other

27:26

three teams that exited this postseason.

27:28

In the Play and Round, it's

27:30

about to really start getting busy

27:33

again on the transactional front. And

27:36

I know you guys love hearing that the

27:39

draft lottery is fast approaching. We

27:43

know six first round losers, many

27:45

of them prominent. They have to start plotting

27:47

their next moves immediately because

27:50

of what happened this week. And

27:54

you're gonna want to stay dialed in with us to

27:57

stay on top of all the activity that's

27:59

going to take place over the

28:01

next two months and change. The

28:03

Darvin Ham dismissal is only the

28:05

start of it. That is going to do it

28:08
