I think that was evident today.

But with DFS struggling, I mean, there is a world where maybe it makes sense to bring in another, you know, forward or wing type.

I've seen some people express interest in Chris Middleton if he becomes available.

Paolo, I'm just curious, you know, one or two names that jump out to you other than Kavon Looney as potential fits here.

And let me cut you off right there.

I think it's pretty clear that if they decide they want to guard, they're just going to stick with J.D.

Davison.

They like the guy.

There's a reason they trusted him in that Oklahoma City game earlier this month.

I think, you know, if you give him a contract now, you're more likely to be able to keep him the next few years on a very team-friendly deal.

And they just had so many opportunities to add guard depth, and they haven't passed on it.

So I really do believe they want to give, even if fans don't like it, majority of the point guard reps to a man in Reed.

And so I just think that it's probably a center, maybe a wing slash forward, but I would just be surprised if guard is the target.

Sorry for interrupting.

Go on.

Is he expiring this year?

No, but he has a very small partial guarantee next year.

It's like $8 million, something like that.

So they'd have to eat a little bit of money, but it's pretty small.

And to address the comment that Dave briefly put on the screen, the update on Jabari, they think it's a minor ankle sprain, but I think they view that game Monday as one that they should be able to win even without him.
