In context

Mahoneythe warriors? I'm not very hopeful.

MahoneyI mean, I think a lot of my reservations and concerns are just like, are they going to have enough healthy bodies to fields an actual basketball team for 82 games? And I'm like, Brandon Pajemski is a great kind of counterpoint for that. And part of the reason he gets this deal, he has played more minutes as a warrior than literally anyone else over the last three years.

MahoneyAnd so his ability to be out there is huge. But without Butler to start the year, Moses Moody to start the year, Chris, that's for Zingas in limbo, Al Horford being his age, D 'Anthony Melton being healthy for now, Steph Curry being healthy for now. But all of those things are, are ifs.

MahoneyI just don't see how there's like a good playoff caliber basketball team there, even if Steph in Steph, we trust in all other contexts. And

Lowethe reason I said, I wouldn't go crazy like all this stuff about you know they're they're always chasing the next big guy right and they haven't gotten them yet and they've been lambasted for that I think somewhat unfairly but also so I think there were real opportunities that I've talked about before that maybe they could have gotten into um I just I mean we'll see how they start the season but even if they're at 500 I just don't have

Lowereally any faith in this team as a real like capital T team and I and if it's less than that if it's worse than that the lottery odds they may be in the perfect sweet spot in the lottery odds and boy could they use a bite at that apple okay uh number two uh did you see the debut of the philadelphia 76ers starting five against brooklyn on friday i think did you catch any of this only in drips and
