This is a headgum podcast.

Welcome back to Buckets. We are inching closer to the home opener, just a mere 24 days away or something.

So let's talk basketball with Billy Scofuri.

Welcome back to the basketball season, and welcome back to us to Headgum Studios in Los Angeles, California.

Oh yeah, we are together in a room, not on a Zoom, but recording into a Zoom.

It feels like every podcast who has done their first in-person

podcast spends the first two minutes of said podcast talking about how they are in the same

room yeah you have to address the elephant off the zoom.

That's right. Nice.

And in the room.

But we are in the midst of media day, which is kind of a fun welcome back to school

vibes.

It lines up with back to school as well. Yeah it's there's two

ways media day has gone for teams thus far. Some like the Lakers and seemingly like the

Knicks it's been all positive playful vibes yeah showing off the

friendships as much as the chemistry exactly behind the scenes they're rooting for

each other type vibes yeah and then there's teams like the Washington Wizards

where it was like, what, Bradley didn't get,

what, he had so many months to, yeah.

Or the nets, or it's like, Kevin,

what do you think about Kari Irving saying

that he won't be playing in any home games?
