During his viewing, Telesco discussed poignant moments in the film, particularly how scaffoldings of relationships and trades play out. In one scene, Weaver conducts a trade deal over breakfast—something that elicited a chuckle from Telesco, who noted that draft negotiations rarely happen over casual meetings like pancakes and eggs.
Telesco highlighted that keeping the head coach in the dark about major trades, as depicted in the movie, is "not advisable." In reality, drafts are collaborative efforts involving multiple parties, including scouts, coaches, and salary cap specialists. This level of transparency is crucial for successful draft outcomes.
