think there were a few there's like three that stand out to me it's what i did my video on today uh i'll start with the the brad stevens quote um where he kind of hinted at the fact that they believe in a couple of their players playing large roles like i basically asked him about you know roster construction how you balance finances and and you know on court fit and what do you think the team looks like now you know with this team moving forward and he mentioned something along the lines of like With a team like this, there's going to be more opportunities, and we believe some of these guys can take advantage of those.
Almost like, in my opinion, insinuating that a part of the reason they were comfortable making moves they made this summer was because they believe that some of the players they have in depth roles are better than those depth roles that they were playing in.
Yeah, I thought it was interesting when Brad was speaking that he mentioned that all of those guys are going to have to sacrifice at one point.
similar – outlook for the ugo baylor shireman jordan walsh ron harper group as it was last year where there will be opportunities but they may not be there at all times it might be the infinity gauntlet again where one guy gets the chance then he doesn't have it anymore so the next guy gets the chance but they did both him and joe make it sound more matchup based in more of what does the game what does the matchup call for And the person with the best skill set for that situation will be the one to get minutes.
And that goes in line with a lot of the things we talked about over the summer in regards to that position battle.
And if that's the way they're going to roll, then they do have the depth for it.
He talked about depth all summer, talked about it when they traded Jalen, talked about it the next time he spoke.
I think in today's world, in the NBA, Kraus asked him about the second apron specifically.
He said even beyond that, having the right pieces depth-wise is key to building a contender.
People don't necessarily want to believe the whole it wasn't ownership or, you know, they had a vendetta.
