They obviously now have two firsts in this upcoming draft, which is going to be a big deal.

And they have the money to absorb big contracts.

But if somebody comes in and they say, I want to do this traditionally, I want to use my draft picks, I want to go for high draft picks, they're going to have that opportunity as well.

But I think it's a good position to be in.

It's an attractive job, not only because of the big market, but because of all the flexibility that you have.

If I had to guess, I think probably someone comes in and doesn't just choose, like, I'm going to take this four years, five years.

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 Madis Brugelis and Josh Keefe.

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.
