They overachieved so much that the expectations were you're going to add a top five player in Jason Tatum when you come back.
And maybe they just got outplayed by Philadelphia with Paul George, the way he played, and Joel Embiid.
And now it looks like there's all kinds of dissension amongst each other.
Sometimes that stuff is like a little bit emotional right after the season.
I would be curious on what the next six weeks look like.
But you can't ignore the new collective bargaining agreement and you can't ignore having two supermax players on your team and figuring out figuring out how to navigate that.
There might be a better way.
I'm just not sure they're ready to go down that road just yet.
Well, I've talked about this with the Lakers.
Austin Reeves, second playoffs, has been hunted.
There's no question.
They're just hunting him.
Second playoffs, not necessarily durable.
I mean, one of the great things about LeBron, frankly, is his durability.
He's just healthy.
And a lot of times, Anthony Davis, Luka, guys that aren't great condition guys by relative to NBA standards, get dinged up more.
It takes them longer to get back.

He wears a headband.
