My status here is secure.

It doesn't matter what any of you say.

They can't get someone better than me to replace me.

I mean, Desmond Bain has an acquisition for that many draft picks to be the eighth seed.

Like, they thought they were getting a final piece.

That's not a final piece.

All right.

But the point Jeremy makes is not an irrelevant one.

Five draft picks, five first round picks for Bridges hasn't amounted to anything.

Five first round picks for Gobert hasn't amounted to anything.

What was it?

Was it five first round picks for Bain?

It hasn't amounted—four first-round picks for Bain hasn't amounted to anything.

If the Miami Heat traded that many draft picks for any of those three players, you would not like those trades.

None of them.

You would like none of them.

The thing that I want to say about this, because I know now, and we'll get to the contentious back and forth with Pat Riley and Barry Jackson in a second, but I know now that all of us are in the easy position of seeing the predicament that the Heat are in, and all of us are saying, how could you not see this earlier?

How could you not trade Jimmy Butler earlier?

How could you not trade...

Norm Powell earlier.
