I think that what we have to understand, and I was rightfully corrected about, we can't analyze this deal on just what they have on the roster now.

It's a big move.

Celebrate the move.

It gives them a chance that they didn't have before.

But the challenging thing with the way that salaries work in the NBA is,

And the way that aging works is as you get older, you are like able to get bigger and bigger contracts.

There's a sweet spot where your talent and the compensation as a percentage of the cap match up.

And I think that's the hard part right now is if you're going to keep Giannis, to your point, for the rest of his career, as he gets older, he continues to get more expensive.

He also continues to get less effective.

And that's the part that I think people are having a hard time reconciling is figuring out

How long will we be paying Giannis what he's worth or getting value for him because he's so great that he outstretches his contract value?

Or will we get to the point where, all right, we're paying Giannis like he's the number one guy on a championship team, but he's no longer that good.

And now we have to find other people to fit in around him that we will be underpaying.

So that's a hard, it's like a,

A condensed window.

I don't know how many years it is.

I don't want to get yelled at or piss off Heat fans.

But it seems like, depending on who you talk to, we're looking at a five-year stretch for Giannis or a two-, three-year stretch for Giannis.

And that's the big question.

Yeah, becoming a modern sports fan is also kind of like becoming a bit of an accountant.
