Why do you think the Hornets should take a couple players there instead of packaging both of these selections to move up or to n- go after a veteran?

Yeah, modern team building has really adjusted over the past few years, right? You see teams in, we'll just say the Western Conference Finals, right? The OKC Thunder, the San Antonio Spurs.

The bulk of a lot of these teams making it deep in the playoffs now are comprised of a lot of cost-controlled rookie contract players, right? You have, for the Spurs, Dylan Harper.

You have, um, Steph Castle, obviously.

You have Carter Bryant on OKC.

You have, uh, the, the guard.

I'm, I'm completely blanking on his name.

Uh, do you think t- are, are teams in general, should they be rethinking about the way that they've approached the draft in the past? Or is there still some of that, "Yeah, we still wanna swing for the fences, uh, as much as possible, even if it means bigger risk"?

What did you learn about the impact PFAS had on the local environment, uh, the land, the rivers, and downstream communities?

Yeah.

So what Scott Gordon, uh, was talking about is, um, the wastewater treatment system used by Dalton Utilities, which is the utility that received a lot of the wastewater from the carpet mills.

Um, you know, much of the contamination actually just came th, you know, uh, through wastewater and pipes to Dalton Utilities.

But Dalton Utilities, you know, runs this, um, what's called a land application system, where they essentially put the wastewater onto a piece of forested land, and because of issues with the system, it then runs off into the Conasauga River, which, you know, whose waters provide, uh, drinking water for hundreds of thousands of people downstream.

Um, and the relationship between Dalton Utilities and the carpet industry harkens back a little bit to what we spoke about earlier in the show, where, you know, Dalton Utilities, for a long time, had former members of the carpet industry on its board.

You know, it was appointed, uh, the board members were appointed by mayor and city council, which also often had connections to the carpet industry.

Dylan, go ahead.
