They probably will try to come in and turn things around quicker.

I don't think it's going to be as quick as we saw AK and Mark do it, where that first trade deadline they were here, they basically were like, we're in win-now mode.

My guess would be it's still a little looser that first season, and they see where things are at the next offseason.

But there's a chance to definitely turn things around quickly.

And more and more around the NBA, we see that, I feel like.

We've seen more teams turn things around fast.

Right.

I think, you know, the benefit, again, that this whoever comes in is going to have is they have six open roster spots.

So they can very much make this roster their own right away without having to touch a lot of the pieces that are already here.

And I think whoever comes in will be continue to be interested in Miles Buchelis and Josh Giddey.

You know, Josh specifically signed that $100 million four-year contract last offseason.

It's a pretty good contract, all things considered.

You know, $20 million a year for somebody like him, that's not paying him to be a number one or even a number two.

It's just paying him to be a piece and a good piece, which he still can definitely be.

As for Modest, I think any executive that would come in would be really interested in Modest Pujols.

He took a great step in the right direction this season.

He has the makings, or he's the best two-way player on this roster, as is.

And, you know, there's a level of creation to his game that we saw this season to make you think, okay, this could potentially be a number two piece to a winning team.

I still don't know if he becomes that star.

I don't know if an executive will come in thinking he's that number one, but he for sure looks like a piece that could be part of a winning team moving forward.
