And what stuck out to me yesterday, they win the game on that weird Kobe White foul. get the Brunson toilet bowl in and out to win it. But you watch the way their bench was celebrating. It actually seems like they liked each other. Last year did not.

Wait, hold on on Zach Levine. Sure. Because I want to talk about the Knicks. I was thinking about him, Brandon Ingram. Yeah. I think Trey Young's about to be in this boat. These guys that got these big deals. Julius Randle. These guys that are being paid like they're superstars. They do put up production and yet there's not a market for them. And it's because of the second apron.

Kurt Goldsberg was talking about in my pod on Tuesday. It's just, it's changed the dynamic of roster building of how we think about players. We take somebody like Brandon Ingram who was available all summer for anybody who wanted to offer anything and they couldn't trade him. Now he's scoring 23, 24 a game. Zach Levine, same thing.

And we're moving into this new era of these guys that it's like, well, this is my price. I don't want to pay that. I'm stuck with you. But you're still producing.

I don't remember another era like this. The only time I could think was that 2000s when guys were getting those six, seven year deals. And you would just be like, I guess we have Allen Houston now for the entire decade.

And we were like, he's not good. And he was like one of the rookie of the year. It's like, well, he's 20 points a game. Exactly. You know, this is a really interesting point. Can you have tanking when there's too much talent in the league? Because I think about that with Brooklyn. I watched Brooklyn. I saw them in person on Friday. I talked about it on the pod. Watched them yesterday.

The Celtics played really well and beat them. And they played one of their best games. But I watched Brooklyn. I'm like, I know they wanted to be terrible. It's going to be really hard to be terrible with some of the guys in this team. Like Schroeder is a above average point guard. Cam Johnson's good. Cam Thomas is a 28 a game guy. Now they have shop walking.
