That's what I think

... uh, I, I think, yeah, in this first year, you, you just wanna see kind of, okay, what we got, right? Like, what, what is this core made of? Is this a core that we really believe, uh, can win, or is it like, ah, this, this look good on paper, but, but this ain't it, so we need to reshuffle the pieces a little bit? So that's kind of what you use the first year for because they got all the assets.

I say right now, OKC and Brooklyn, those are the only teams to me that compare from an asset standpoint to what the Grizzlies have.

Multiple first round picks in, I think, three of the next four years.

Uh, unprot- their own unprotected picks, you know, from the Orlando Magic because of that Desmond Bane trade.

They could have three first round picks next year.

Uh, I believe the Lakers and Utah both have picks that are top five or top six protected, and both those teams are supposed to be decent.

Mm-hmm

But would you say that that's a strength of Taylor Jenkins, is being able to come in, kind of set a culture, set an identity? And if so, what identity culture would you tell Bucks fans to kind of expect from him? Would it be like that defense first mindset that we saw in Memphis?

Yeah, definitely it's gonna be defense first.

Um, you know, if you look at the tenure, you know, of his time with the Grizzlies, the defenses were pretty much consistently good.

You know, I know in the last year they tailed off a little bit leading up to his firing, but even in the first half of that season, they were a solid defense overall.

Uh, he has certain things, you know, that he likes to emphasize on the defensive end.

I'm sure we'll probably get into that a little bit more.

But for the, for the standpoint of, like, his identity, you're gonna see a team that, uh, really prioritizes the defense so much, uh, that I, I think now in his growth as a coach, he'll, he'll, I guess, understand the importance a little bit more of the offensive end.

Yeah

Help us understand the local feel of Ja Morant and what he's done the last two games.

Yeah, uh, Dan, the number one thing, uh, when kind of peeling the curtain back here is this isn't anything new, actually.

Uh, this is a celebration that Ja Morant and several of his teammates have done over the course of the season.

So, uh, when you talk about Ja Morant feels, you know...

Ja Morant being the victim here, I think that's the feeling internally, uh, especially specifically, you know, with him.

Uh, you know, this is a celebration I've seen him...

I mean, I could at least go back to the beginning of the year, uh, him doing this celebration, and he does it pretty much after every made three-pointer.

... why did the Grizzlies fire their head coach?
