You can't be fighting for a seat at the end of the season the way they had to by going on a ridiculous run, as good a basketball run as we've seen around here.

You want to be better for the 82, not just better over the last 30.

That will help you, I'm sure, at some point.

But I do think it's the – you know, no big change is coming unless they really drop a hammer and decide to go get somebody because it's not free agency.

If they get somebody in a trade –

And there are a couple of guys that we hear are certainly capable of being traded this offseason, but it's not going to be the draft pick, and it's not going to be necessarily free agency.

It's going to have to be a trade.

We'll see if Salah, the guy who runs it, Ansi Salah, can actually pull something off.

I'll tell you this.

Everybody who thinks they're going to follow the San Antonio Spurs version of doing this, you know, I pointed out this morning, you're insane.

You know, they had a 14% chance to get Wemby, 10.5% chance to get

Castle, like a 6.5% chance to get Harper.

Then you throw De'Aaron Fox, who actually was willing to be a 25-point scorer to take it down to 18 with fewer shots.

I just don't know how that gets replicated.

And I'm not telling you they beat the Knicks, although I'm rooting for that to happen.

I am telling you that in a copycat world, I don't even know how anybody approaches the idea that you can hit on three draft picks, get a veteran who's willing to not only take this money but take fewer shots and be a leader in that regard.

This one's going to be tough.

And if anything ever looked built on paper to be a run, 3-5, 3-6 type deal with Lemby at the charge, I think everybody might be playing for second place at least three of those six years.

No, UCLA getting knocked out certainly is going to help anybody who would have sort of had to face them before you got to the title, if not in the title itself.

But Georgia Tech's got 50 wins with a whole lot of offense, and you've got to figure out a way to win on a Monday to just get to the Super Regional.
