Usually the market, wherever you want to put him, if you're paying those two guys, normally with the way the current NBA structure is, that's $115 to $120 million combined for those two spots. So they're getting a discount on those two spots. Then they smartly signed Nembhard to 18-19-21. as an extension, which is right around where his value is. I don't know where the cap's gone.
Neesmith's at 11 and 11 the next two years. McConnell's at 10 and 11. Toppin's at 14 next year. Mathurin's at nine. And they still have Walker at 6.6 and Shepard at 2.7. They have all their own picks except for 26. And have the ability to I don't know, either package dudes together. They have the ability to dump somebody.

You know, like if they wanted to trade Mather in the summer, they'll be able to at nine. They wanted to either upgrade him or try to get a vet or do whatever. So I think the flexibility is what's appealing. But you made the key point. They don't pay the luxury tax. I think the owner is like 90. And in general, they've just, you know, they're like a few of these teams just don't do it.

OKC is another one that we're going to find out how much they want to keep this team together when these guys start getting expensive. But at least with Indianapolis, I know what I have with my top two for the next three years. I can add around it. I might have guys coming in who want to play with this nucleus and I'm in a much weaker conference, which I think is the other appealing thing.

The problem is they're already paying their top two. They're getting no advantage out of their young guys anymore. They've already paid the top two plus Suggs. so they're kind of all in with the team they have, and it's hard to move around the margins for them. But there's definitely a case for them.

That was why I thought this was so interesting to talk about. It's so, it seems so improbable to me that Indiana would be the team you would land on, but it probably is the most stable with the most flexibility of all of these teams. Even Orlando, we talked about like, I don't know how you make that team better.

Your nucleus is what it is unless you either trade Franz or Paulo and they're not trading Paulo. But that's going to be kind of their team. And the thing that they need is for Black to hit.
