So all you can really do is, I think maybe take a slightly longer view, take a little bit more risk than you would otherwise.

It's just, this isn't a front office that takes a lot of big swings, that makes a lot of big gambles.

And so I don't know how much I'm expecting them to do that, even with Jimmy Butler down.

Just trying to have a conversation with Jonathan Kaminga.

That's a big risk at this point.

That's pretty dark if that's where we're going, like right off the bat.

When he's out there, he's played pretty well.

And the same has been true for Joel Embiid.

I know we want to talk about the Sixers too, but they've got at least some momentum and something going.

And it felt like the Warriors maybe finally did too.

They were finally stringing some games together.

It felt like the rotation was maybe starting to finally make some sense.

It just sucks to see it fall apart like this, especially when, as you mentioned, the big picture in terms of solutions, there's nothing that's going to fix them for the season.

I think it's a matter for them if they want to target guys who might be like buy low kind of candidates who could be something for them next season.

who can give them something beyond what they already have.

Like if you call new Orleans and, and kick around the idea of like bringing in someone like Eve Misi, for example, if you talk about, I don't like even like Gigi Jackson, like trying to find guys who are on other teams, benches who aren't delivering, who aren't being trusted, who aren't,

fulfilling the brief for whatever they're being asked to do and thinking, okay, if we put them around Steph and Draymond and Jimmy whenever he comes back next year, could they be something for us?

Because otherwise, they just don't have that many guys who are rock-solid, steady rotation players.

Yeah.

But I think they're going to get this one right.
