Speaker 3: a special guest joining us right now on seven six Live,
Speaker 3: and it's Sixers head coach Nick Nurse.
Speaker 4: Hi, guys, how you doing spectacular? How are you doing?
Speaker 3: Doing good?
Speaker 1: And doing good?
Speaker 4: Coach? We were just.
Speaker 2: Bragging about the presence of your entire front of bench
Speaker 2: for the regular season at every single one of these
Speaker 2: games in Utah in Vegas. Just to start us off,
Speaker 2: how important is this opportunity not just for the players
Speaker 2: out on the floor, but the coaches that are getting
Speaker 2: opportunity on the bench tonight.
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's it's it's important obviously in their development. I mean,
Speaker 5: Matt's been a head coach before, but giving him an
Speaker 5: another stage to work on it kind of one of
Speaker 5: the reasons I chose Matt is because he had some
Speaker 5: head coaching experience, and I knew how I had a
Speaker 5: super busy free agency period and wasn't going to be
Speaker 5: able to prep too much for the Summer League this year, And.
Speaker 4: We're going to ask you about it just to be clear.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's okay, and everybody else kind of bumps up.
Speaker 5: We're giving some of our player development guys chances to
Speaker 5: run the offense, defense, do the scouts, all those kind
Speaker 5: of things, and we're also experimenting a little bit. As
Speaker 5: you can see some of the things we're doing out
Speaker 5: there in Summer League.
Speaker 2: It was cool to Obviously, you've talked a ton about
Speaker 2: the way that you utilize the eighty two games of
Speaker 2: the regular season to try things, throw some things away,
Speaker 2: put others into your playoff toolkit. Matt Brosey talked about
Speaker 2: using this the exact same way, throw things away and
Speaker 2: then put some things into the regular season toolkit. How
Speaker 2: much collaboration are you guys doing during these late nights
Speaker 2: and early mornings that people might not realize they're going
Speaker 2: on at a summer leak like this.
Speaker 5: Well, you can obviously see we're playing a lot of zone, right,
Speaker 5: We're playing a good, good chunk of zone most of
Speaker 5: the games, right, and we're that's taking us Well, we
Speaker 5: got kind of what we thought we'd start with, and
Speaker 5: we're constantly tweaking and making adjustments on that, learning what
Speaker 5: other teams are trying to run, adjusting back to that again.
Speaker 5: So almost every day, either in practice or the games,
Speaker 5: we're looking at something in that zone to continue to
Speaker 5: try to polish and develop and be able to use
Speaker 5: in the regular season.
Speaker 3: Matt Murphy and Lauren Rosen joined by seventy six ers
Speaker 3: head coach Nick Nurse, speaking of the zone, something that
Speaker 3: coach Matt Browsi, your assistant coach, and the sixer Summer
Speaker 3: League coach talked about was some of the personnel within it.
Speaker 3: Justin Edwards, David Jones, two of the rookies in the
Speaker 3: mix with this summer league team. What have you seen
Speaker 3: as someone like Edwards who's a hometown kid for our
Speaker 3: Philadelphia audience, someone who was highly ranked in high school
Speaker 3: and is now with this sixers group.
Speaker 5: Yeah, so listen, I was really happy after draft night
Speaker 5: that we were able to convince him to come on
Speaker 5: the two way was a was a somebody we studied
Speaker 5: a lot and watched a lot. I think it's gonna
Speaker 5: be a good year for him. Love love his length,
Speaker 5: and you know, he does a lot of different stuff.
Speaker 5: He can shoot it a bit, He's got the length.
Speaker 5: On defense, he can drive.
Speaker 3: It a bit.
Speaker 5: Uh. Good kid, good hard worker, you know, like like
Speaker 5: that's important, you know, if you're going to develop and
Speaker 5: get better this year. So so liked him, you know
Speaker 5: a lot, And I'm pretty happy with a lot of
Speaker 5: these guys here in the Summer League. How they played,
Speaker 5: all shown some good things that they can do.
Speaker 3: Oddly enough, both left handed as well DJ and Justin Edwards.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Yeah, DJ's got a real nose for the ball,
Speaker 5: right He's really put together a real athletic but he
Speaker 5: really does have a knack for just coming up with
Speaker 5: loose balls, coming up with rebounds, can put his head
Speaker 5: down and kind of bounce you with his body and finish.
Speaker 1: At the rim.
Speaker 5: So again, I think they're good. They're certainly talented, young
Speaker 5: and both certainly have some work to.
Speaker 3: Do, but we like them and the rookie classes headlined
Speaker 3: by number sixteen pick Jared McCain. When it comes to
Speaker 3: him and Tyrese MAXI, how can Tyrese help Jared both
Speaker 3: when they're on the floor together and just in general
Speaker 3: in Jared's rookie year.
Speaker 5: Well, first of all, Jared, one of my favorite things
Speaker 5: about him is he's got a real great feel for
Speaker 5: the game, right, He really like plays the game like
Speaker 5: he knows what's going on out there, and that is,
Speaker 5: I mean, that's super valuable, you guys. I mean, we
Speaker 5: know he's got the deep shooting, and he's got lower
Speaker 5: body strength. He can bounce people and get to the
Speaker 5: rim too. But you know, to answer your question, obviously,
Speaker 5: ty resee, one of the first things you know he
Speaker 5: said with both Justin and Charity was going to take
Speaker 5: him under his wing and get them going and they're
Speaker 5: good dudes, and I'm sure tyres will be able to
Speaker 5: impart a lot of wisdom to those guys.
Speaker 2: When Tyrese joined us for the first game in Vegas
Speaker 2: on this broadcast at this exact time two games ago,
Speaker 2: he talked about what it's been like to have young
Speaker 2: players reaching out to him as a veteran and seeking guidance.
Speaker 2: Obviously he's still young in his career, but he's entering
Speaker 2: this new phase. And I say all this to ask
Speaker 2: about the experience of the Tyrese Maxi Museum that you
Speaker 2: guys put together to honor him as he heads into
Speaker 2: this next phase of his career. I know you played
Speaker 2: sort of a starring role in that whole experience. Can
Speaker 2: you bring us through what it was like to be
Speaker 2: part of that. I love that you said it was
Speaker 2: an honor.
Speaker 5: Yeah, no, it was.
Speaker 1: It was.
Speaker 5: First of all, it's unbelievable, right, And they did a
Speaker 5: really amazing job, a great, great team by by everybody
Speaker 5: there to to put that together. And you know, like
Speaker 5: I got I go there, and and you obviously got
Speaker 5: a relationship with Tyree's but you don't know everything.
Speaker 1: You know, you're watching film of him as.
Speaker 2: A little kid and seeing all his little awards and rebounding, Yeah,
Speaker 2: you want you want.
Speaker 1: A rebounding award.
Speaker 5: I was like, come on, Tyree's what what is this?
Speaker 5: What is this man? But anyway, it was it was
Speaker 5: really cool, you know what a special special for him,
Speaker 5: special for his family.
Speaker 3: It was.
Speaker 5: It was it was great to you know, always just
Speaker 5: learn a little bit more about him. Obviously it meant
Speaker 5: a lot to him. You saw his reaction to it all,
Speaker 5: and and uh, Sixers Nation should be really proud that
Speaker 5: that guy's going to be around for a long time.
Speaker 3: Elsewhere in free agency, Paul George, you've talked about how
Speaker 3: he slots in or how his fit is very good
Speaker 3: with Joel Embiid and Tyreese MAXI. What are some things
Speaker 3: that do intrigue you about Paul George the basketball player
Speaker 3: with your existing and now almost fully formed roster.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean just just his versatility, right, I mean,
Speaker 5: he's a he's a big wing, plays both ways, can
Speaker 5: handle the pass, can obviously score, you can post a little.
Speaker 1: Bit really good in the mid fold.
Speaker 5: I mean I could go on and on. Right, He's
Speaker 5: one of those players that you you use offensively in
Speaker 5: every possible way somebody can be used offensively. You know,
Speaker 5: he handles the screen, roll set and a screen while
Speaker 5: he will post, he'll bring the ball up, he'll catch
Speaker 5: and shoot, He'll he'll beat you one on one, you know,
Speaker 5: all those things. So obviously a really good fit with
Speaker 5: our with our you know, Tyres and Joel kind of
Speaker 5: the bookends of one in five and and Paul fitting
Speaker 5: right in the middle.
Speaker 3: The Minnesota G League team is the Iowa Wolves. You
Speaker 3: are a Carol, Iowa native. You've got Carol Prout the
Speaker 3: T shirt on Choose Carol.
Speaker 5: I just stopped through Carol on the on the way
Speaker 5: out here, so he gave me a T shirt to wear,
Speaker 5: so I'm.
Speaker 1: Wearing it today. I like it.
Speaker 3: And you will have a preseason game you know, well,
Speaker 3: Lauren wants to know more about the T shirt, but
Speaker 3: we will have a preseason game in Des Moines at
Speaker 3: the Iowa wol Wolves Arena between the NBA Timberwolves and
Speaker 3: the Sixers. What do you think that will be like
Speaker 3: because of your history with with that place, Well, it's.
Speaker 5: It's certainly going to be really special for me. You know,
Speaker 5: we spent a lot of time there. We we actually
Speaker 5: started that franchise from scratch.
Speaker 1: They were the Iowa.
Speaker 5: Energy back then when I was coaching them, and then
Speaker 5: the Timberwolves obviously purchased them, and now they're the Iowa Wolves.
Speaker 5: Chris Finch, the head coach of the Timberwolves, and I
Speaker 5: are very close friends, and he called me up said, hey,
Speaker 5: we got this game. We need an opponent that' said
Speaker 5: let me, let me, let me make a couple of
Speaker 5: calls and check on it. And I really wanted to
Speaker 5: do it, so I'm glad that Darryl and everybody else
Speaker 5: said it was okay, and we're going to go out
Speaker 5: there and play the play in my home state.
Speaker 3: Friday, October eleventh, the seventy six Ers and the Minnesota
Speaker 3: Timberwolves in Des Moines for a preseason game. Right now,
Speaker 3: summer league game. Talking with Sixers head coach Nick Nurse.
Speaker 3: The timber Wolves are leading this one thirty one thirty.
Speaker 3: But how has your Summer League experience been so far
Speaker 3: this year? I know you're a Prince fan. How's your
Speaker 3: Vegas experience been?
Speaker 1: It's been okay.
Speaker 5: I don't get out and do too much, to be
Speaker 5: honest with you.
Speaker 4: In Vegas, so that's my kind of vibe.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I like the basketball for sure, certainly get a
Speaker 5: chance to see some people.
Speaker 1: But I'm looking.
Speaker 5: Forward to the next part of the summer because the
Speaker 5: next pot's.
Speaker 1: Going to get fun.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the next part of the summer, we're going
Speaker 2: to roll back through sort of these free agent acquisitions.
Speaker 2: We came into the Utah Summer League with a pretty
Speaker 2: thin main roster and we're going to close Vegas with
Speaker 2: as Matt had a nearly complete one.
Speaker 4: I want to know.
Speaker 2: How you're feeling about getting Kyle Lowry back this time
Speaker 2: for a training camp, a full season opportunity for continuity,
Speaker 2: obviously a massive mentorship presence for a guy like Jared McCain.
Speaker 2: What's it going to be like to have Kyle for
Speaker 2: a full year as a seventy six er.
Speaker 5: Well, we certainly love his veteran presence. Kyle's all about winning.
Speaker 5: I know he's getting up there a little bit. We
Speaker 5: talk about that, kid him about that all the time,
Speaker 5: but you know, he really is a winner. He really
Speaker 5: plays hard, he really has a super high i Q.
Speaker 5: He's a leader, and we think that's you know, it's
Speaker 5: really important. I think, from especially from from my staff standpoint,
Speaker 5: like Kyle really knows what we want done and he
Speaker 5: helps get that done in the locker room and on
Speaker 5: the floor. So it was really happy when he signed truth.
Speaker 1: I thought we really needed.
Speaker 3: Him continuing to bounce around the roster quickly. As we
Speaker 3: head into a timeout, Joel Embiid wearing the Team USA colors.
Speaker 3: What do you think that will do for him? You
Speaker 3: have international experience coaching Canada.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 5: I always think it helps players when they play internationally
Speaker 5: in the summer, they almost always come back better in
Speaker 5: some fashion. I'm sure he's gonna play himself into some
Speaker 5: good shape and I'm sure he's gonna learn. He's playing
Speaker 5: with a lot of great players.
Speaker 1: I'm it was going to learn.
Speaker 3: Something from a gold medalist in Kyle Lowry to a
Speaker 3: gold medal hopeful in Joel mb So we'll see how
Speaker 3: it plays out. But a big part of that Team
Speaker 3: USA this year. Nick Nurse, thank you so much for
Speaker 3: joining us here at Summer League.
Speaker 1: Good to see you guys. Than really appreciate it.
Speaker 4: Thank you so much, coach, See you guys later.
Speaker 3: Summer League action continues from Cox Pavilion at UNLV, the
Speaker 3: Summer Sixers facing the Timberwolves, tonight, This is seven to
Speaker 3: six Live Matt Murphy, Lauren Rosen with our next guest,
Speaker 3: the general manager of the Delaware Blue Coats and someone
Speaker 3: that everybody back home certainly knows in Jamiir Nelson. Jamiir,
Speaker 3: thank you for joining us at another Summer League. We
Speaker 3: did this with you last year. One of my favorite
Speaker 3: things whenever I see you interviewed at games, including Summer League,
Speaker 3: as you're always talking about the score of the game
Speaker 3: and how things could be going better for your team.
Speaker 3: I saw you during the last game do a TV
Speaker 3: had and You're like, I'd be doing better if this,
Speaker 3: this and this. So how are you doing tonight?
Speaker 1: I'm good. That's just the natural point guard and leader
Speaker 1: in me. I think I always got to no time
Speaker 1: and score and situations, and obviously a bunch of players
Speaker 1: and teams and coaches do better. But this is why
Speaker 1: we do it. We have more games and practices to
Speaker 1: get these guys better and hit it in the right direction.
Speaker 1: You know. Overall, I think we've done a great job
Speaker 1: as a as a as a team, and the coaching staff.
Speaker 1: The coach staff have been unbelievable putting in the zone
Speaker 1: that we're playing and trying to implement some other things
Speaker 1: on you know, trialing there is hard when you have
Speaker 1: a group of guys who don't play play together for
Speaker 1: a long period of time, but the team is jailed. Well,
Speaker 1: almost couldn't ask for a better situation. I mean not
Speaker 1: unfortunately everybody can't play. Some of the guys I'm sure
Speaker 1: are upset, but it's only so many minutes, and especially
Speaker 1: in the summers forty minute game, and if it was
Speaker 1: the nba'd be forty eight, so kind of limited.
Speaker 3: What is the process like as two way contracts player
Speaker 3: Justin Edwards gets a transition dunk. What's the process like
Speaker 3: of building out the summer league roster.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because the way I do it, and Eb
Speaker 1: and Darrow, they give me the space that it tiom
Speaker 1: me to kind of do it my way. I start
Speaker 1: getting some veteran guys before the draft, not knowing who
Speaker 1: was going to draft, but also knowing that the guys
Speaker 1: that are coming in from the draft are going to
Speaker 1: need help with experience and different things. So trying to
Speaker 1: bounce out the roster as much as I can is
Speaker 1: a huge part of how I look at things.
Speaker 3: Last year was your first official year as the GM
Speaker 3: in Delaware as the with prosper Karanngwall, but he kind
Speaker 3: of handed over the reins to you. So what was
Speaker 3: last season like for the Blue Coats.
Speaker 1: It was good, It was good. It was successful, not
Speaker 1: only on the floor, but also like guys, we had
Speaker 1: a lot of guys get call ups. We you know,
Speaker 1: obviously helped Ricky develop. I mean, most important thing about
Speaker 1: that is Ricky he developed himself by mentally being ready
Speaker 1: and doing everything that we asks and his progression has
Speaker 1: been unbelievable. He's unbelievable kid. You know, other guys as well,
Speaker 1: like Javonte Smart who had a European contract, Darius Baisley Junior.
Speaker 1: Like there's a bunch of guys that we can point
Speaker 1: to and say that we at least put one fingerprint
Speaker 1: on him. Like, I'm not gonna say we all, we're
Speaker 1: not gonna take credit for everything, but we have a
Speaker 1: good program and we try to do things the right way,
Speaker 1: and you know, we've been successful in the last few years.
Speaker 2: Ricky Counsel has talked about Tyrese Maxey as a mentor.
Speaker 2: Over the last year or so, we saw Tyrese come
Speaker 2: out and support this Summer League squad a couple of
Speaker 2: games ago, and Ricky said he wants to be for
Speaker 2: Jared McCain and for a dem Bona what Tyrese Maxi
Speaker 2: has been for him. What does that say about a
Speaker 2: guy like Tyrese at just twenty three years old, that
Speaker 2: he's already becoming this sort of generation to generation leader
Speaker 2: helping these young guys teach each other well, says a lot.
Speaker 1: And and Tarese has obviously the credibility and also like the
Speaker 1: skill to do that. Like the next step for him
Speaker 1: is to continue the leading and become a better leader,
Speaker 1: Like he's a great leader now, but it's also steps
Speaker 1: he can take there. Just like in his basketball game,
Speaker 1: he's growing all around the board. So I think I
Speaker 1: think him it's you actually giving back to the game.
Speaker 1: Whether he knows it or not, it's a huge part
Speaker 1: of who he is uh and and who he will
Speaker 1: be going forward.
Speaker 2: Jared McCain talked on his first day about trying to
Speaker 2: learn from Tyrese how to take being perhaps undersized in
Speaker 2: this league, but compensating for.
Speaker 4: That with the work. Yes, is that something that you
Speaker 4: resonated with in your career a little bit?
Speaker 1: My goal was to never let somebody outwork me. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was always the underdog, and you know I was
Speaker 1: fine with that. You know, it's the cliche of like, oh,
Speaker 1: I'm going to show you what I can do. It's like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna prove me right. That's me working in the gym,
Speaker 1: me putting one foot in front of the other, not
Speaker 1: worrying about what the nacare say, but also understanding that
Speaker 1: what my deficiencies were, it was mainly my height, but
Speaker 1: you couldn't deny how hard I played and how hard
Speaker 1: I worked. So you see, maxis similar to myself in
Speaker 1: terms of you you're going to you're going to the
Speaker 1: into the practice and he's smiling, he's laughing and joking
Speaker 1: and helping everybody out. So it's just one of those
Speaker 1: things that when he comes into the room, he lights
Speaker 1: everybody up. And Jared is similar. He's he's happy, he's
Speaker 1: having fun, and he does things the right way, and
Speaker 1: you know he'll he'll find he'll find exactly what he
Speaker 1: needs to do on our team and our roster because.
Speaker 2: Of that out of curiosity, who were those players for
Speaker 2: you when you were young in your career.
Speaker 1: So it's funny now you say Tyresee is the twenty
Speaker 1: three year old vet. My vets were thirty three and
Speaker 1: thirty four. I had guys. I was very fortunate to
Speaker 1: have guys like Grant Hill, Pat Garretty, Stacey Augman, shoot
Speaker 1: Tony Pettitz, like the list goes on. All my guys
Speaker 1: were thirty and above. So they were like my uncles.
Speaker 1: They were my peers. There were my uncles, And it
Speaker 1: was harder for me to lead because of that going
Speaker 1: in right there. But once I think Stacey Augman pulling
Speaker 1: me to the side that we need you to lead,
Speaker 1: we're gonna listen to you, and it calmed me down
Speaker 1: and gave me a breath of fresh air and a
Speaker 1: and a joke of confidence as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you talked about the point guard and you still
Speaker 2: manifesting itself in your current role. But when you were
Speaker 2: in your prime on the court, what was that like
Speaker 2: to have the ball in your hands, understanding that their
Speaker 2: future Hall of famers around that you're trying to distribute
Speaker 2: to that you want you have to literally lead on
Speaker 2: the floor. Understanding that they have this leadership, this gravity
Speaker 2: among the entire league.
Speaker 4: How do you balance that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you just go and be yourself and continue
Speaker 1: to grow and again they gave me the confidence to
Speaker 1: do that. They pushed me out of my comfort zone.
Speaker 1: Lead leading is not easy, especially when you're at the
Speaker 1: highest level with your peers, I guess. So you know,
Speaker 1: everybody needs to be led and everybody wants to be lid.
Speaker 1: You have to do it in the right way. You
Speaker 1: have to be conscious of how you lead for one person,
Speaker 1: one player, one coach to another. But I learned how
Speaker 1: to do that at an early age, you know, and
Speaker 1: it was kind of natural for me. One because everybody
Speaker 1: saw me working my tail off. And two I've respected
Speaker 1: everybody like I was never a guy who's like I'm
Speaker 1: better you or whatever, whether I was a starter come
Speaker 1: off the bench. I just wanted to win. And I
Speaker 1: think that's that's kind of like what helped me become
Speaker 1: the leader that I wanted to be.
Speaker 3: Sixty four fifty six the Summer Sixers leading the timber
Speaker 3: Wolves final couple minutes of the third quarter, Matt Murphy
Speaker 3: and Lauren Rosen joined by Jamie or Nelson from the
Speaker 3: seventy six ers in blue coats front office. Of course,
Speaker 3: the storied career at Saint Jose and in the NBA
Speaker 3: as well, you were honored this past season by the
Speaker 3: Orlando Magic. And when you were, you know, starting your
Speaker 3: front office career, you had considered other paths post playing.
Speaker 3: How do you think you've grown on as a front
Speaker 3: office executive?
Speaker 1: Where?
Speaker 3: How do you think you've gotten better over the past
Speaker 3: couple of years.
Speaker 1: I just understand, uh, the business side a lot more.
Speaker 1: But I also understand because I'm dealing with a lot
Speaker 1: of different agents that aspect of it. But also, like
Speaker 1: you know, Darryl eb and the rest of the group
Speaker 1: has been gracious and allowed me to have a voice
Speaker 1: in the big meetings, in the small meetings and you know,
Speaker 1: we're at dinner, so they allowed me to be me
Speaker 1: and and I think that's important when you you're a
Speaker 1: former player, you you you are who you are, and
Speaker 1: you know you bring a different dynamic to whatever group
Speaker 1: or whatever setting.
Speaker 3: You said it step your reaction to when the group
Speaker 3: landed Paul George in free agency.
Speaker 1: I mean I was z ecstatic, just like the rest
Speaker 1: of us, because we put a lot of work, in
Speaker 1: a lot of long meetings, a lot of long discussions
Speaker 1: and things like that. But it was it was great,
Speaker 1: Like you know, we we we got the best available player.
Speaker 1: And that's that's not something that happens often, you know,
Speaker 1: for every organization. You know, now, we have some really
Speaker 1: good pieces around our stars, and you have you know,
Speaker 1: I think that's what people are like, mistaken, like you
Speaker 1: can have the stars, but the pieces are the ones
Speaker 1: who whin you the tough games as well.
Speaker 2: When you think back to all the sort of dominoes
Speaker 2: that had to fall to get to this point, the
Speaker 2: years that go into setting up the space needed to
Speaker 2: sign up Paul George, when you're forecasting that year's out
Speaker 2: in advanced Daryl Moray in the building tonight, as is
Speaker 2: Elton Brand. We know how much work your group had
Speaker 2: to put into making this even an option that you
Speaker 2: guys could capitalize on.
Speaker 4: Can you give.
Speaker 2: Us at all a peak behind the curtain of what
Speaker 2: that looks like? Because I understand now you have to
Speaker 2: be forecasting for a few years from now.
Speaker 4: What does it look like to plan in the long
Speaker 4: term like that?
Speaker 1: It's tough. You're trying to forecast, like you said, and project.
Speaker 1: The one thing you have to have when your side
Speaker 1: is looked and we we we were fortunately to have
Speaker 1: luck on our side this year, and we're happy. We're
Speaker 1: happy with we're do We've done so far, We're not done.
Speaker 1: We have some other things that we need to do.
Speaker 1: But uh PG is a big piece of uh He's
Speaker 1: a big piece of the puzzle. And you know, I
Speaker 1: like I like the guys that each around it, Joelle,
Speaker 1: uh next teason.
Speaker 2: As we look into the sort of back end of
Speaker 2: the of the off season, what does your life look
Speaker 2: like after Summer league as as you start to prepare
Speaker 2: not only for the big team season, the G League
Speaker 2: season as well.
Speaker 1: Still meetings, still still a lot of meetings, and still
Speaker 1: you know, being able to help the group, trying to
Speaker 1: help where I can, whether it's the players, the coaches,
Speaker 1: and also prepare for the GLEE. That's that's kind of
Speaker 1: what that when that starts maybe early mid August September,
Speaker 1: I have to start like generating some you know, some
Speaker 1: traction for the G League season as well.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 2: We're looking forward to seeing what you both are able
Speaker 2: to do, of course with this G League season as
Speaker 2: you guys continue to be a dynamic duo with those
Speaker 2: Delaware Blue Coat jimior Nelson, thank you so much for
