There's no way you were part of Team USA. I actually almost didn't vote for him for most improved because in my mind, he'd already improved.

He's year three.

You can't give a guy on a max contract most improved. No offense to Cade. Or year four, whatever it is. Cade was on my all NBA team. So, yes. So, the... If Austin Reeves was making $37 million, the Mavericks could look at you and say, well, look, we can't have Kyrie and AD and Austin Reeves all making $40 million because we can't do that. If that was the case, I would get it.

Yes. So that's my... In my mind, they should have gotten... Reeves, and the other first-round pick, and the pick swap. They should have gotten all of them. And I know what's been said. What's been said is that when Jeannie Buss heard about this, she said, we're not trading. And I'm sure Rob Plinka didn't want to trade them either. I'm not saying Rob wanted to.
