And like we said, this happened.

This cycle has already happened in the NBA, where they had the flattened odds.

The Orlando Magic won back-to-back lotteries, and then they shifted it over.

And now I feel like we've come clear all the way back around to this.

And it's like, man, I wish they would just have kept it the way that it was.

You have just like a few teams that get like pretty good odds to stay in those spots.

And like you just, that's just the system that we have to work with as long as you have a draft.

It's just is like, it is what it is.

And like, I wish that not so many conversations and so many, I got, I almost think they're overthinking all of this right now.

Yeah.

They'll bring forth all these horrific ideas that will eventually backfire in some way.

And it's like, golly, will you stop shooting yourself in the foot with all this stuff?

They will be yearning.

All of this just drives me crazy because the fact of the matter is,

teams need a mechanism to get high level players period especially small market teams need a mechanism to get high level players and the draft is that now none of it's guaranteed you could be like the sacramento kings for 16 years and pick in the top five over and over again and never get there but like you have you still have to have a competent front office to like make it all happen

or have a lot of luck to make it happen, but you have to have a mechanism for these teams to get good players.

You just have to.

And if it is losing, I think you have to just accept it.

The fierce thing really blows my mind.

Yeah.
