For some reason, there's been a narrative that that wasn't the case.

Each administration has been given the responsibility to tell us where you want to spend the money.

So I don't mean to push this on you, but it's going to be Bryson.

Bryson's going to tell us, here's what I need.

We need to add in this area.

Or, hey, we're good here, but maybe we need to add someone below that.

As far as the luxury tax, obviously there's specific penalties for being in the luxury tax in the second apron and all that, and now you've got to manage that.

No team wants to be in there.

But if we're competing for championships, we expect that we'll probably be in the luxury tax.

I'm totally okay with that.

I don't want to be in the luxury tax for a team that's not in the playoffs.

But if he did, then he wouldn't be the right guy.

Michael has mentioned many times, several times, about the autonomy that you'll have.

And I wanted to follow up on the roster point that was brought up.

These are none of your players.

You're inheriting everything.

So if you have total autonomy, presumably you can do whatever you want.

Is there anyone in your view on this roster that's untouchable?

That's funny you asked that.
