    Is this an exit interview?

    Anyone expect Hollins to be on Ime's new staff?

    Some "highlights" (not too much insight, but hey, it's the offseason for us, so...) for me from this conversation:
    • Talking about the Green/Sengun chemistry (around 11:30 in the video and at 35:00 - said these two guys have the best chemistry with each other of any two players on the team) - the whole show was focused on Jalen Green
    • Mentioning that Coach Lucas told Green and Sengun to work together and worked with them, and that contributed to them getting comfortable (around 18:30)
    • Ryan: "Green will have to be moldable - he will have different teammates than KPJ and Josh Christopher" (quickly correcting himself that this doesn't necessarily mean they will not be there, just that new players will be in the mix) (around 19:15)
    • They wasted like 10 minutes talking about whether end of shot clock half court heaves should get counted or not - weird
    • Talked about the Jalen Green trade rumour (around 49:00 in the video) - the two kids thought Jalen will definitely not get traded - Ryan said this is definitely "above his pay grade" - rumours are part of the business - but to get Jalen Green, one would expect "a king's ransom" - "I don't think it's anything to worry about".
    • While they almost exclusively talked about Jalen Green, they also kept talking about him needing someone else to set him up. No explicit slight towards KPJ, but it sounded kind of implied...that Jalen wasn't really getting as many easy buckets as he should be getting.
    Overall, the two kids talked a lot more than Ryan Hollins, he just complimented them a lot and so on. The two kids seem like nice guys - are they on Clutchfans? What are the handles?

    Ryan definitely talking slightly differently from when he is on the broadcast, especially in the beginning (just the pronunciation of words).
