00:00I mean, this is like one of the first off seasons, you know, that he's healthy going into it.
00:05You know, obviously, I know in the Knicks series end of the Boston, he was a little banged up, but
00:08like he's healthy.
00:10Like there's no restrictions. So he's he's he's already been in the gym.
00:14He's been working, you know, working in the weight room. I think he's lifting five days a week and his
00:18body looks good.
00:19He's trimmed down a little bit. So like he's in great shape. He's in a great space.
00:24You know, I mean, obviously, it's August 5th right now. So, you know, we have a ways to go to
00:29till camp.
00:29But being two months out where he's at now, you know, he's he's excited. He's motivated.
00:35You know, obviously, these moves, I think, are going to help us and help him, especially because now he doesn't
00:40have to do as much.
00:42You know, you can you can maybe limit his minutes, you know, and then obviously when we're playing bigger games.
00:47So we haven't gotten that far ahead.
00:50You know, once we get our schedule and we can kind of map out kind of month to month and
00:54see like back to backs and minute restrictions and all that.
00:57But he's he's free reign to go right now. And, you know, he's another piece where, you know, I know
01:03him and LeBron had conversations and and really helped in this recruitment with him.
01:07And, you know, you looking back, I went back and watched some of the Olympic tape with him and LeBron.
01:12And those two had a nice one to combination. And I mean, the guy's talent is undeniable.
01:17He's arguably the most talented big man that's ever touched the basketball.
01:21And, you know, and he's motivated and excited. And I think with the group we have, you know, he you
01:28know, that's that's what's nice is we can have guys be the man each, you know,
01:33each different nights where Joel doesn't have to carry us and he can just be kind of like a guy
01:38one night where then the next night we need him, he can really step up.
01:41So it's exciting.
