Parker FlemingGUEST
But it's just the fact that everything's been as advertised and the fact it's like, he's already having these big time performances, whether like, or even the fact like, that his opener he was 215 from the field and was still a plus 32 just the fact that he has multiple ways he can impact the game even defensively i know you had talked about he's a tweener you don't know what his role is but tomas isolo on that opener he praised how he defended laurie market and i think the work that he's put it on his body to just go around screens and Yeah, just move, like, go around screens, guard his yard, essentially.
Parker FlemingGUEST
He's not going to, like, he's, I think the stuff with his, I think his steal rate is something that will go up over the course of his career just because, I know John Hollinger has this theory that these high field bigs typically figure it out defensively and point it to the steal rates of, the steal rate of Jokic, but also the defensive prowess of Marc Gasol.
Parker FlemingGUEST
Don't think that, I think that's the same thing with Boozer, but, like, just the fact that how he can impact the game just having, and this is something that I had even talked about before the season, when looking at the Grizzlies in the next, their next iteration is that today's NBA, you need front court playmaking.
Parker FlemingGUEST
And they, they set themselves up to probably have already one besides, I guess now at this stage, because where he is, his career is, And there's only two power forwards that are better playmakers than Boozer.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Hello, podcast listeners, five-star ratings and reviews.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Congratulations to John Hollinger, Rob Peterson, and the Milwaukee Brewers on the World Series win.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
The Brew Crew played 13 postseason games.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
They won 11 of them.
Sabreena MerchantHOST
Like you said, the user is a hub.
Sabreena MerchantHOST
I think our colleague John Hollinger pointed this out.
Sabreena MerchantHOST
There was multiple times where you've got Angel in the center of the floor.
Sabreena MerchantHOST
You've got a shooter on one corner and then the strong side.
Brad RowlandHOST
His...
Brad RowlandHOST
I think John Hollinger said this in real time at The Athletic, good friend of the podcast, but you can definitely tell Dort's playing a little bit of a different role than he had in Oklahoma City because he is maybe not being asked to drive more or asked to handle the ball more, but he's doing that more.
Brad RowlandHOST
It's not really his best skill set, and I think the one of six on twos was revelatory in that area today, but he was fine.
Brad RowlandHOST
Just a little bit of inconsistencies offensively.
Tom HaberstrohGUEST
And you know, every GM is clamoring to find the next Jalen Brunson or Jokic.
Tom HaberstrohGUEST
And that's what Taylor Snard, the analytics guru, the John Hollinger of this metric, he said, it feels a little bit like, and I don't want to get the audience too excited, but I'll just say what he told me.
Tom HaberstrohGUEST
It reminds him of what the metrics were saying about rookie Nikoli Jokic is like, this guy? So like the caveat is he was like 20 years old when this was happening, rookie Jokic and Ty Drum is like almost 30.
Tom HaberstrohGUEST
But he's like, the numbers were saying Jokic should not only have the starting job over Yusef Nurkic and JJ Hickson, but he is a future all-star and star in this league.
Trey KirbyHOST
10th in points per game right now, 19th in assists, 1st in steals, 17th in blocks.
Trey KirbyHOST
John Hollinger, 1st in PER.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
So you see an end-of-ballot type of voter, too.
J.E. SkeetsHOST
Yeah, I
Dan FeldmanCORRESPONDENT
Paul Reed last April.
Dan FeldmanCORRESPONDENT
I guess Curry can finally join John Hollander's tier of elite players.
Dan FeldmanCORRESPONDENT
Of course, it's different for a big like Reed, who took all 11 of his shots from within 5 feet.
Dan FeldmanCORRESPONDENT
The last player to score 24 plus while shooting perfect from the field and line with multiple three-pointers.
Derek BodnerHOST
He's not nearly as fluid as Paul Reed is, and Paul Reed has some quick twitch athleticism.
Derek BodnerHOST
Like, I remember talking to John Hollinger, who was very high on Paul Reed coming into the draft, where Paul's, like, steal and block numbers were insane, and he just had to find a way to rein that in.
Derek BodnerHOST
I don't get to say, like, again...
Derek BodnerHOST
but on a nuclear vertical athlete doesn't really have the same athletic profile though.
Brad RowlandHOST
And he says, it makes me sad to write this, but can you guys do a show on, is it time to tear it down? And then he says, keep it core style like Baldwin, but tear it down by 2015.
Brad RowlandHOST
He says, Olsen's contract is friendly.
Brad RowlandHOST
So it's what left a kind of Acuna and Suarez and sale.
Brad RowlandHOST
You know, you can get a heck of a lot of, of like capital back for some guys but and then he ends with it might be time because this core of guys is not winning at all so there's a lot to get to in there scott and i don't even agree with some of the premise in there just to say that out loud but we appreciate the question and it's it's a it's good fodder to dig into so when i sent you this and i i saw it on youtube i sent it to the group What was your first thought? And then we can go from there, but what was your broad thought on just the hypothetical of like, hey, is it time to do a more drastic teardown?

Scott ColemanHOST
I think a lot of people who watch and listen to the show would agree that is not doing enough to mix it up, to give a shout out to our old friends at Fastenal.
Scott ColemanHOST
That to me feels like you're just delaying the inevitable, that you are just delaying that conversation that we've been talking about of a year from now or 24 months from now, we look around and go, A lot of this talent is not as young as it used to be.
Scott ColemanHOST
There's no more team-friendly contracts.
Scott ColemanHOST
There was a time a couple years ago, the Braves had team-friendly contracts galore.
Alison HopeHOST
This year, we're in contention for position in the Eastern Conference, and it's a tough Eastern Conference.
Alison HopeHOST
I think it was John Hollinger, who writes for The Athletic, that picked the Raptors to finish third in the East.
Alison HopeHOST
We've kind of moved out of, you know, we're in contention, but we're not like...
Alison HopeHOST
I don't think anyone's talking about us as an Eastern Conference finals team yet.
