And he looks at Cleveland and is like, okay, they're in the East.
Their path is a lot easier.
They were a really good team last year.
They've got a superstar, Donovan Mitchell.
I can go there and help them out.
He can't.
He's not eligible for an extension.
He cannot.
He has to play until the end of the year.
So one of two things can happen.
Either he opts out, making him a free agent, and then he can sign a new deal, but he can sign anywhere at that point.
Or he opts in, and then Cleveland has 11 days pretty much to figure out
Do we want to stay, stick with him for this one year, or do we want to waive him, or do we want to trade him somewhere else for someone who would waive him because he's only got $13 million guaranteed for next season?
So there's a lot of moving chairs there.
None of them have long-term money associated unless he opts out, in which case he could have done that from anywhere.
Yeah, it's funny.
You mentioned that, and I'm like, is that a good team?
Right.
It reminds me of back remember when Wade forced his way out of Miami went to Chicago and then he ended up on Cleveland right and then they were like hey and we're gonna get Carmelo and I was like Yeah, give him Carmelo.
Go ahead.
