I mean, the way that Mavs are talking, it seems like they're not going to move Anthony Davis.

That's the part that I just – I think they're going to try to move him.

One thing I've been thinking about is, you know, I'm, of course, always obsessed with picks and stuff.

And so I'm looking at this Dallas situation like, oh, my gosh, you have this golden opportunity to get a high pick to pair with Cooper Flagg.

Yeah.

How is that not priority number one?

But I will say the fact that he is 18 –

I at least understand the other argument because yeah, they don't own their pick for the next four years after this one.

Yeah.

They could get to that point and Cooper flag still only 23.

Yeah.

They could get through this entire period of darkness where they're not going to own their pick, and he'll be like 23 or 24, which is about the age that Shea was when they started adding young players to the Thunder.

So maybe it could work.

Maybe you could be competitive for a couple seasons with AD and Kyrie when he comes back, and then you reset when Cooper is 23 or 24.

Yeah.

It's...

As bad as things have been in Dallas, the fact that he is 18 and scoring 40 points in an NBA game, it really does open the possibilities where in some ways you can't do too much wrong right now.

I was kind of against the idea of them keeping this team together, but the more I thought about it, I'm like, I guess it's not the worst thing in the world if they were competitive for the next couple of years just because he is so young.

But they're just not even competitive though.

Oh, really, Andrew?
