Are you hearing me? Anyone in the league office, when you criticize the league office, you get the call immediately. You really are going to say that. I'm telling that that is the dumbest award. It's a bad history of awards. That is that is dumber than if the NBA gave out participation trophies. That is that is the dumbest clutch player of the year.

Not saying clutchness doesn't exist, but clutchness is an innate ability. And is somebody less clutch one year than they were the previous year? Are we really just going to measure it off of what you shot during what they call clutch time? I kind of agree with this. I agree with that. It's so ridiculous. That's a really good take. Perimeter Defender of the Year, that would be... Way better.

It depends on how they get there. Let's assume that Beal is going somewhere. And I don't know that it's a done deal. But let's say, assume that Beal is going somewhere and Jimmy's coming in and those three picks they got from Utah are going out.

I just don't really see what it does other than lose the Suns more draft assets and assuming they pay Jimmy Butler, assuming they give him a ton of money in a long-term extension, Continue to lock up their future. They've got their 2032 pick. That's going to be frozen because they're above the second apron.

They're not going to have control of any of their own first round picks all the way until beyond that. They're not going to have control of any of their second round picks until then. So like, I just don't see it. This team is 21 and 21. I did a story earlier than this week. I guess there'll be a different record by the time this podcast is over because they have Brooklyn tonight.

But I did a story earlier this week on Phoenix, and I went into that story thinking, you know what? Everyone has covered the suns like a circus. Everyone has gone there and been like, this place is on fire. Let's bring some damn gasoline and see what happens. I just... I felt like there wasn't a good enough narrative around like, okay, but how did the Suns get here?
