And to put that out publicly, it almost feels like they don't really understand the implications of the new CBA. It's not happening. That's a great point, dude.

Okay, that's a fair point, and I totally understand that thinking. I think the cup works, but I'll address your question, and I'll say this. How upset are the Mavs right now, after being on the road for like a month, having everyone be sick, and they're like, oh, we don't have to go to Vegas, and we get, what, seven days off in the middle of the year to sort of get healthy?

Yeah. But it's four teams. To me, it's four teams like the Hawks, the Rockets, and the Thunder. I think it's really for up-and-coming teams to get one-and-you're-done experience. So I don't think it's broken, but I think there are certain teams like the Celtics coming off a championship where we get to win the Emirates Cup. No, I'm good. I'll take the time. off.

That's what I think they should do. You can't fall lower than six. If you win. You got to move it later in the season then because like if you're locked into six, like what are we doing?

No, it would be like an insignificant draft pick thing. You get an extra second rounder or something. It's like, okay, great.

lose a game seven at home and you just like stick them with some sort of terrible competitive disadvantage like like a rule changes like tj would just come out at halftime and be like all right guys here here are the four point shots right three circles yeah no corner threes i think they should use it as a testing ground for like rule changes like i think that'd be kind of fun if they were just like

It could be a playground for that.
