I know Golden State was really hoping, at least their fans were for Looney, for example.

And you make a great point, Ben.

If there is a little bit of guaranteed money next year, and I didn't explore Looney's contract enough to know if there is.

then they probably did want to still have that as an option because he's not playing at all for them.

And they gave him $8 million a year, and it's kind of surprising that he's not out there.

I mean, that was the shot I called my guess.

It didn't pan out at all, but that's who I think.

That kind of player is who I think they would want.

Like I said, we said this after the last round, but I don't feel they're going to bring anybody in who's taking any minutes away from Reid.

We're talking about Reid probably going back to the bench.

He's still going to play at least 25 minutes a night, if not more.

If you had brought in somebody else who runs more of a point, unless he's okay being in the stay ready crew position, I don't think that's what they're looking for.

I think they're looking for somebody who can compliment the guys they have.

Yeah, David Wiener's ears just perked up when you said that.

He heard that somewhere, no matter how far away he is.

But yes, I mean, that makes sense to me.

Like I said, I was thinking that that's what they would look towards the buyout market, but I'm just amazed at the sort of lack of options.

So I agree.

I think that's probably where they're headed.

Yep, absolutely.
