I mean, that's two of the three or four chances that they had right there. I mean, that's... Huge gut punch. I mean, they just you're right. They don't have enough to compete right now. I mean, they they tried starting like Najee Marshall, basically a lead guard, and he played really well. Yeah, but that's that's the place they're at. You know, it's like we don't have Kyrie.

We're already really dependent on him. Like they've just got to they've just got to try stuff like that.

Yeah. I mean, they needed Kyrie to like carry a huge load in terms of just the half court offense.

Christian, I want to ask you about the behind the scenes of this whole situation, because I imagine much like myself, there are a lot of people wondering how in the world Luka Doncic is a member of the Los Angeles Lakers. I mean, it's two months in and I'm still surprised. And, you know, there's been reporting. Obviously, you've reported it as well, that there's

Obviously, a behind the scenes situation between Mark Cuban and the now president of operations and Patrick Dumont, Nico Harrison. How does that play into this decision to trade Luka Doncic and how that all unfolded?

Yeah, I mean, Mark Cuban hired Nico Harrison to compliment him in terms of making basketball decisions in 2021. But the power dynamics of this organization changed in December 2023 when Mark Cuban had to sell. I mean, when Mark Cuban sold his team to Miriam Alderson, you know, he said, hey, look, I'm still going to have a lot of influence over basketball decisions.

But that's not what happened in reality. You know, I mean, Patrick Dumont is this team's governor. And Patrick Dumont listens to Nico Harrison on basketball decisions. I mean, this was always a Nico Harrison decision. And the sale of the team just created a situation where suddenly Nico had all the juice. Yeah.

I don't really view it as a money thing. I mean, Mary Maddison is worth like $32 billion, and I think they're still even in the luxury tax right now. Sure. I think it's more just an experience thing, and I think what you brought up is Patrick Dumont's first experience running this team was, oh my gosh, Nico Harrison makes trades for P.J. Washington and Daniel Gafford.
