Like, we're going to find that out over the next handful of games.

And we're also going to find that out in the offseason when, hey, are they just going to start sending a message like, well, actually, next season, though, we want to get back.

We want to compete again.

And, you know, we're going to go and sign all these veterans with all this money that we have this offseason.

Which, yeah, I think if you're asking me, not Arturis, I think that should be happening, right?

And if I am in Arturis' shoes, that should be happening right now.

I think just seeing when I saw Jade and Ivy taken out of that starting lineup in the game before the All-Star break here, I was scratching my head because I think

you know, maybe, yeah, they just want to see how he looks like with or looks with Dillingham in that second year or see the two of those guys play together.

But then why not do that in the starting lineup?

And they did at least end up with more minutes than the Sexton-Simons duo in that game, which eased some concerns.

But the question is, you know, is that going to continue to happen?

Is that just the first sign of, you know, Billy Donovan leaning on these veterans that they just acquired who will be free agents in a couple of months anyway?

So,

If I'm in his shoes, that's already the messaging for me.

That should already be the messaging.

I know we talk about the fines and the apparent tanking, but there's also a difference between what the Utah Jazz are doing and what a team that's just looking to develop young guys is doing.

And so if you are the Bulls, you can still not worry about what it looks like in the league eye and all this stuff.

You're not saying like, oh, we're playing to lose.

We're just playing Rob Dillingham a bunch because we need to see what we have in him and he can grow more.

And so, you know, I think.
