You know, so I think you can reasonably take this on a case-by-case basis.

And I think sometimes... What's a good comp for this?

Like, right now in the NBA, if Cade Cunningham doesn't make All-NBA because of the 65 game rule, if Adam Silver just came out and said, Cade Cunningham is eligible for All-NBA, I don't think one person would have a problem with it.

Because he's going to play 61 or 62 games, and it was not because of load management.

It was because of a real injury.

And he obviously was one of the 15 best players in the NBA this year.

There should be room for case-by-case analysis.

Everything doesn't have to be black and white.

And so, yes, Matt Ryan has this job, but...

but he's not the general manager and Ian Cunningham would not have left if he wasn't going to do all of the roles of general manager.

And we know that because in the past he hasn't left because those opportunities haven't been there.

So like it, it does feel like you are being a little too, no pun intended black and white on the issue in terms of like the letter of the law, as opposed to just applying like a modicum of common sense.

Like it, so I, I agree with you, Layla, like it wouldn't, not only would it not hurt anybody, it,

In fact, it would be like a PR win to hold up as an example of the process working.

Instead, it feels like they're letting a technicality get in the way of just doing the correct thing.

Well, nor would it hurt anyone to make Cade Cunningham eligible for All-NBA.

Like, I mean, I guess you could argue he would take a spot of somebody else.

Yeah.

But nobody would disagree with it.

Like, we have commissioners for a reason.
