I'm going to say KD and Kyrie, just because the East was so gettable.

You could fast forward right into a bunch of finals, like a string of finals appearances with the talent that they could have had in place there in New York.

I mean, the big what if is the injury situation.

or surrounding Kyrie, would he have gotten hurt with that same kind of frequency?

I mean, you remember Durant was, you know, the only guy out of Harden, Kyrie, the only one that was healthy.

They were a 17-win team heading into that free agency.

That's a great one because think of that, right?

That the magnetism of those two guys coming and what that does in terms of the incentive for other people in the league.

Everybody loves the bright lights of MSG.

Everybody wants to be the king of New York.

Those guys miscalculation was that Brooklyn was going to be a thing.

Brooklyn is never going to be a thing.

It's not a thing now.

It wasn't a thing back then.

And it's never going to be a thing.

We're going to have a new round of Kyrie sweepstakes this upcoming season.

It's going to be one of the fun storylines.

You don't think the owner says, guys, can we share?

Would you guys be willing to share the room?

Well, some of them, like, you know, I would be, it would be like you and I don't know who your equivalent is going in there.
