Now, if you reverse those trades, if you wait on the Nick Richards trade just a little bit, and Nick Richards couldn't be that important to you because guess what? It hasn't really changed that much. They're playing like 20 minutes a night. He's not your starter anymore. It's like Mason Plumlee is playing over him now. So it couldn't have been that big of a deal.

You can survive another week or two without Nick Richards. If you just wait on it, instead of trading a first round pick to get off of Nurkic and three second round picks to acquire Richards, you might be able to loop that into the same trade. You know, like a Caleb Martin or Cody Martin, I should say, is not in that deal now. And instead, it's Nick Richards' salary that's coming back.

And you get Nick Richards and you get somebody else. You get off of Nurkic. You send over one of those first round picks that you got in the Utah deal. And maybe Charlotte would do that. Maybe Charlotte says, you know what, give us a second two. But you're saving one or two second round picks. In that scenario, they just they did the trades backwards. Lack of organization.

They they are just not quite organized in anything that they're doing. And if it was one thing. If it was one element that I could point to, and I was like, that's not organized. I almost always give franchises the benefit of the doubt on this stuff because they know what's going on behind the scenes in a way that none of us on the outside ever could, no matter how plugged in we are.
