But the other one is that their guards are giant.

And the Thunder don't have big guards.

They have smaller guards that play big.

but the Spurs have big guards that play big and it just makes it really tough to like really downsize.

I think that they downsize probably as much as they could, especially when you play a guy like Jared McCain, like you have to cover for him in certain ways.

I just don't know that they felt like they had the personnel to do that.

Had Dub been healthy, I think that we would have seen it just because I do think there is some confidence that Dub can go out there and defend Wimby at a reasonable rate.

And then you can open things up a little bit there.

But without him, he's really kind of like their Swiss army knife, skeleton key, whatever you want to call it.

That's what he is to this team.

And without him, they don't really have that.

Because, I mean, even if you decided to play Dort, who may be like the only other smaller guy that you'd feel comfortable playing there, he just didn't have a good enough series for you to trust him to be out there.

Yeah, I don't think that you're wrong at all.

I do think that when you look at guys like Isaiah Joe and Aaron Wiggins, both like super valuable regular season guys, incredible locker room guys, guys that you want to have a part of your program, their contracts are really easily moved.

I think there will be a lot of teams that would want to have them.

And I think that the second round picks is like about right for them.

I think a lot of teams could have used these guys.

You look across the playoffs at teams that like lost in round one or round two, like they would play for those teams.

Yeah, no, I think you're right.

And like Kenner staying around makes sense.
