It's all about getting this number one overall pick, a guy they believe can be the next LeBron James in this league.

No, there should be no excuses.

This should be a top six team in the Eastern Conference.

It's going to probably turn people off hearing that because they were the worst placed team in the Eastern Conference.

But again, they weren't trying to win games.

It's Trey Young and Anthony Davis getting the headlines.

But really, it's about the picks they've made previously.

Alex Starr is turning into a star down low.

Bilal Koulibaly is supposed to have a big season, a small sport.

Keyshawn George, Will Riley, Trey Johnson, Bub Carrington, and now A.J.

Devonso.

So you're talking about a roster that has seven guys that are 23 or younger and these two veterans that can now help lift this team into the postseason.

A little bit of both, for sure.

Cliff Kingsbury got himself fired when Jaden Daniels dislocated his elbow against the Seahawks.

And then when he came back against the Vikings, it was a stupid move to bring him back.

He got hurt again on a play call that Cliff Kingsbury called in which, you know, it was his fault.

So I'm a Cliff guy, which is weird in this whole situation.

I think Cliff didn't get enough credit for his 2024 conference championship working with a rookie quarterback.

So I'm a Cliff guy, but at the same time, they made this move

because Adam Peters and Dan Quinn wanted to look more like San Francisco.
