But I would be kind of surprised if they could afford all three. What they did last year when they traded Carl Towns. They saved money. And then they had Rudy Gobert opt out of his contract and sign a new deal. And the headline was Rudy Gobert gets $100 million. And I know that there were some people that felt a certain way about that.

They were like, wait a minute, you traded Carl Towns to save money? Then you gave Rudy Gobert $100 million? What are you doing? But Gobert actually took a pay cut. He opted out of the rest of his contract, took his – average salary down and then added years to the end. And the reason that they did both of those deals was so that they could afford to keep Julius Randle and, and Nas Reed.

They may not be able to afford to keep Alexander Walker. So you're still going to have a good team. And, and they also, they traded for Rob Dillingham, uh, last year, um, you know, jumped up in the lottery to do that trade. And then you've seen Terrence Shannon jr. Um, there's been great the last two games. Those are their first round picks this year.

So part of what they, what they did, cause they are a smart organization. Um, they drafted those two young guys to develop up to, to, to develop around, um, uh, Anthony Edwards, but there is possible that, that all of this core is not going to be back, uh, next year.

It's a great question. Good question. Because you're asking because of the fouls, right? That's what you're asking.

Yeah, I don't like... I don't love watching free throws. Um, but here's the thing about him. And this, this happened tonight with the, with the, uh, when he threw the ball in between, uh, I don't remember whose legs it was. A lot of times you see him go down, not every time, just to be clear, not every time.

A lot of times you see him go down and you're like, wow, that was, uh, he might've exaggerated that context. And then you look at the replay and and he did get hit. Um, and there's also a lot of times where he gets hit and it doesn't get called because he's constantly driving. If he didn't lead the league in drives, he was top two, but I think he led the league in drives.
