And Masai Ujiri, he's the king of being vague in his press conferences and whatnot.

He will not give you direct answers unless he means it.

And he is literally cut off reporters mid-question when bringing up the idea of Kyrie and Cooper just to be like, man,

The idea of that, that seems like something, and that would be a sight to behold.

And he even mentioned just a couple of days ago, whenever he spoke to the media, he said, Kevin Durant told me once upon a time that there's only one Kyrie walking this earth and there only ever will be one Kyrie to walk this earth.

So he was like, in the right circumstances, you got to find a way to make him fit, even if it doesn't fit what you're

thinking on paper he's like you whenever you have him on your team you make it work so he seems like he really wants to have Kyrie Irving on this team and take his words at face value for now but they're going to get some calls for sure there's plenty of interested teams out there let's talk about the Rangers 24 and 25 this kind of seems like last year all over again they made some more moves trying to

Yeah, it's a lot of the same like you just mentioned.

And really what's missing is just that pop offensively.

And part of it is health.

And what the interesting part is, is whenever you start naming some of these bats that are hurt or banged up,

They're guys that are traditionally hurt or banged up or guys that were not doing too well before being banged up.

Example being Corey Seager, Wyatt Langford, so on and so forth.

And again, it's kind of like last year and kind of like the world series run in 2023, where

the area that you went into the season being the most worried about ends up being the most consistent part of your team.

And that's your bullpen.

Your bullpen has been outstanding with a group of nobodies, essentially no household names running around.

You don't have a Roldis Chapman running around, closing out games for you.

You don't have any of that.

You have guys like 38 year old Chris Martin, who's coming off the injured list and whatnot.
