and it made sense to trade him, then they will be proven right if that ends up happening.

I do think, though, you know, the Cavs are the only second-apron team in the NBA this season.

There is some urgency of is Donovan Mitchell going to extend with them or not?

Can this team, as concurrently constructed, win?

Darius Garland was obviously unreliable when it came to his injury history.

So I think that the Cavs had to make a move.

I did not expect James Harden to be that move.

If the aspiration hammer does end up coming down, then I will think that that makes a lot more sense to hindsight 2020.

I believe in the Pistons long-term from a roster standpoint.

I'm high on Cade Cunningham.

I think that he's a star.

Jalen Duren, who I've been a fan of since watching him play AAU back when I covered Missouri.

This is a player I always thought he'd be as a double-double machine, threat down low.

I like their reps with Duncan Robinson, Tobias Harris.

I think they have a good group overall.

Um, you know, J.B.

Bickerstaff, obviously speaking of the, and I'm forgetting that Sir Thompson, obviously, but, um, you know, I think they have a good young core with some good older guys mixed in there.

I think the question I have is, you know, J.B.

Bickerstaff to me has some Dwayne Casey in him where, you know, regular season's not really the issue.

It's going deep in the playoff is, and I think that that's why this is a good test for him.
