Welcome to the Morning Shootaround here on the Athletic NBA Daily Podcast feed and live on YouTube. We are excited this morning to talk about more big picture team building stuff. We're going to talk about kind of the anatomy of these teams that are up 3-1 in the conference finals and how did we get here? What happened? And You know, which teams traded Paul George and Sabonis? Maybe it was both.

I don't know. We'll talk a little bit about the Knicks and how they are presently constructed and if it is a good enough, frankly, is a question that we have to have to put out there. And then same for the Timberwolves. Like, do they do they have enough as well? And what what can they do and what are their limitations in this offseason? I'm your host, Andrew Schlecht.

With me, Dave DeFore, Esper Haney. We'll have Zena Keita joining us at some point as well. We can start with the Pacers because this is a team that I think a lot of times throughout this season, I don't think any of us... I'm just talking about me, okay? Frankly, I'm just talking about me.

112.115 - 113.395 Unidentified Speaker (Brief Interjection)

Yeah, it is really only you.

114.076 - 142.266 Andrew Schlecht

Let's clear that up. I didn't have enough of an imagination. to think that the pacers could make the nba finals my imagination sometimes is limited and you know what it's a flaw that i have okay i'll admit it i've got it and i did not have the imagination for a team like the indiana pacers to actually make the nba finals and here we are they're up 3-1 they got to go back into new york to win

144.054 - 169.011 Andrew Schlecht

And they're just on the doorstep, though. And they're obviously heavily favorited. It's hard to come back 3-1. Do the Knicks have the anatomy of a team that could come back from a 3-1 deficit? It doesn't look like it right now, but it never looks like it, I would say. Yeah. But let's start with the Pacers. How did we get here with the Indiana Pacers? And we can just kind of talk.

169.091 - 189.507 Andrew Schlecht

I think it's just interesting to kind of just take apart. Right now, we have this rubber band ball of a team. And it's like, how did this get here? And which one is this? But I think it's good to kind of take this apart a little bit and think about how do you build a contender? How do you build a team that could do something like this? How about Rick Carlisle?
