I'm doing great.
Thanks for having me, Zach.
I think it's the first one.
I think when you look at the way they wanted to build this team, they wanted to build it to last a long time, probably an unreasonable amount of time because NBA teams just don't stay together that long anymore.
I think that they're hoping that this one does.
And when they re-signed Shea, Dub, and Chet last summer, I think that that was the, hey, this is our core moving forward.
All these guys are signed up long-term.
This is who we're moving forward with.
I don't think they'll deviate from that.
You listened to everybody talk yesterday.
They were pretty โ everyone was on message, I would say, with what they think about Chet.
And that when Chet's at his best, the Thunder are at their best.
Now, you go to the caveat, Chet was not at his best.
He wasn't anywhere close to his best.
And you look at the 10 points and seven rebounds he averaged during the series, I think it's more important to look at the seven shot attempts that he got per game in the series.
He just could not find his shot.
And we all know that he took two shot attempts in game seven, didn't take a shot attempt after the first quarter.
I think that they believe in who Chet is as a person and that they're going to have to help him get better shots.
Some of it is it was the perfect storm for it to be terrible for Chet.
One, he just hasn't been very good against the Spurs and Victor Wimonyama.
