But it was that 22 draft that built this team. You're not anywhere close to this if you don't have both of those guys. If you have one of them, we're probably talking about OKC as second round and out, really good squad. But the fact that you got both of them,

and you continue to draft well, and you're able to trade Giddy for Caruso, and you're able to bring in Isaiah Hartenstein, who is their best free agent that they've ever acquired in the history of the franchise.

They cleared cap space. They had Micic, who was signed to this deal that he probably... never really needed to have. Nope. You know, Trey Mann, they, Poku wasn't part of the trade, but they eventually waived Poku and let him ride off into the sunset. But, Yeah, I mean, it's just meticulously planned.

I'm just curious what players see when they watch those games. Knowing he'd be good and knowing he'd be the MVP. Knowing he'd be great. That's what I'm saying. It's a different thing. It's a different start. I think everybody after that playoff series against the Warriors thought, hey, he's actually a starter. Because pretty rarely...

Like, hey, you know what? In his first year with OKC, he averaged 20 points per game. Great. This guy's going to have a chance to make an all-star team at some point in his career. What a great get for the Thunder.
