And that's why I do think maybe this trade deadline could be a little bit more interesting than people might think for the bucks, or it could be even

more boring than anyone could ever imagine and all they do is trade a minimum guy for a minimum guy like they did last year when they traded you know backup point guards and brought patrick beverly it was incredibly boring it wasn't exciting they made a move they moved the deck chairs around a little bit and and that was that so uh the the possibilities seem almost endless right now which i think is very exciting as we approach the cherry deadline about three weeks from now

So I'm wondering how much of it is it the environment versus the Bucs that's going to how they perform against the Bucs. OK, see, that's going to allow them to kind of take away something. Right. Like, is it going to be their outcome against the Bucs and how they match up against them versus it doesn't matter who's on the other side.

Yeah, it definitely does seem by design that the corner three, if you're packing the paint and recovering, leaving the corner open is a lot easier in terms of forcing a defender to kick it out perfectly to a corner shot as opposed to a wing shot. So that makes sense. I'm thinking about the fact that this is also like a...

Right. Because they haven't been able to make it past that threshold of the Western Conference. And, you know, the last time that these two teams matched up was last season and Giannis dropped 30. And what's interesting, too, these two teams are virtually the same except one player. For the Bucs, it's Malik Beasley, no longer there. And for OKC, you know, Josh Giddey is not there.

But virtually like the same. I'm curious what you think is going to be particularly different in the way that these two teams will match up, knowing that the stars are still there in the Shea and J-Dub. And then also with having Chris, Damian and Giannis on the other side of the ball.
