Mike Conley

These guys have been around the block that I think you could like Larry Nance Jr. and say, hey, all right, he's been around, but it's not like Larry Nance Jr. is some veteran on the Warriors team that won a couple championships or anything.

We have some guys here that can be vets, and I think when we had Bobby Marks on, he talked about how Minnesota wasn't doing that anymore of like, hey, you know, Mike Conley, you know, we're letting you go.

We want, like, our best players to be those veterans.

When he said, like, Mike Conley Jr., Gene McDaniels, like, we want you guys to take on that leadership role.

That's what I meant.

What did I say?

The Boston Celtics at four, who by the way, their off-season was turning the much more durable and younger Jaylen Brown into Paul George, who is, all his talents aside and his fit aside, someone who's constantly injured.

Mitchell Robinson, who has frequently been hurt over the last few years, and 100-year-old Mike Conley, as, you know, a depth piece.

It just feels like the logic is not consistent behind that.

So I don't have any problem with people who are generally skeptical of how this is gonna work.

They lost Jalen Brown and Nikola Vucevic.

They added Paul George, Mitchell Robbins, and Mike Conley.

And they drafted an interesting center prospect in Kristen Ack.

But even though he has some upside, I'm not sure how much he'll play this year.

But there were multiple celestial bodies in 2013.

Zach Randolph, Marc Gasol, Mike Conley, Tony Allen.

They all in their own unique way were pivotal figures to the success of what that franchise was, the number one franchise in sports.

It was ticket prices.

Kristen Act Jr. is lighting up the internet.

We had the Paul George, Mike Conley presser, which we haven't done a pod since then.

So we'll touch on.

Brad Stevens made an appearance on Brian Scalabrini's Sirius XM show.

And look, that's a full episode for us.

If these guys start coming out of their hidey holes and start making appearances on things, we're going to be live on the inset talking about it.

So I guess starting with the big one, the Paul George, Mike Conley, Joe Mizzola, Brad Stevens, press conference, Jake, like what are some of the key takeaways? Because there were some notable quotes.

These boys have been around the block.

They lost Jalen Brown and Nikola Vucevic.

They added Paul George, Mitchell Robbins, and Mike Conley.

And they drafted an interesting center prospect in Chris Sinek.

But even though he has some upside, I'm not sure how much he'll play this year.

It is Baylor 18.

what's up everyone this is noah delzell and i'm here with another episode of you got boston uh we are exactly one week away from media day which is scheduled for september 28th uh which leads right into training cam super excited uh to get the ball rolling we heard from mike conley and paul george last week As they were introduced, we haven't yet heard from Mitchell Robinson, which I'm looking forward to.

But from this point forward, it is going to be actual on-court play, preseason basketball.

I'll be in Cleveland for the preseason opener.

So their spending habits, everything, they're 12th.

I think there's some social open questions because this is a new ownership group, right? And then finally market, they are ranked sixth, which is interesting because on one hand, I feel like obviously Boston Celtics super prestigious franchise.

You hear guys like Mike Conley, Paul George talking about what it means to play for this type of organization.

And at the same time, like you look at where the most favorable for agency destinations is usually places like Miami and LA, not Boston, right? Where places for the taxes are cheaper and the weather is better and all that.

Tatum the finish.
