And then the last, I don't know, three weeks, they've been playing the best basketball in the sport.

Better than Detroit.

Last night, they get smoked.

And it's because of this.

They get smoked at home by Philadelphia, and it's because James Harden is being James Harden again.

They're talking about Darius Garland.

Wait, I don't think there's a great market for James Harden at 37, although there will be a market for him.

Well, not Darius Garland.

Cleveland's confusing to me.

I keep expecting him and them to be better, and they're not, because he's not, at least in part.

But the thing I wanted to say about what Zaz is saying, I agree, and most people listening to this would just say, Yeah, Zaz!

Play contract, guy!

But Jimmy Butler got his money.

Like, he did what he had to do in order to get $112 million for two years, $60 million a year because he was at the end of the road and he used the only leverage that he had.

James Harden's not going to have any leverage at the end of this contract.

This is the only time he has it.

And I'm sorry, he's a businessman mercenary who's just there for the paycheck.

And I'm sorry he urinates on your sports ideals and you want to believe in team.

This is the only time he's going to have that leverage.

For the remainder of his career, this is the time.
