I'm sure he'll be back and there for a long time to come.

You got to find Cade some help in terms of ball handling and playmaking.

And that doesn't have to be a blockbuster, right?

This doesn't mean go out and trade for Giannis or Kevin Durant or Kawhi Leonard or whatever, right?

I don't think you're in that kind of position of desperation.

But this is the first summer since this group really started to show something that you're thinking, OK, we need some finishing touches around our core and we need to give Cade some more help.

I think that's indisputable.

So I don't and maybe they were heading there anyway.

And maybe the 60 wins masked a little bit of that, even though we were all talking about it the whole time.

But these are the same deficiencies we've been talking about and why people had doubts about their ability to go all the way.

But I suspect it will not be like some blockbuster summer for them.

They'll re-sign Duren and they will find a mid-level exception-ish type player, whether it's literally via the mid-level exception or via trade.

They'll find somebody else who can do something with the ball in their hands to take a little bit of the pressure off Cade.

Uh, toughest rookie of the year vote I've ever had.

I did vote for Cooper.

It was very close in my own head and on my own ballot.

And it was obviously close in the vote.

What do we ended up like, you know, 55, 44 or something in first place votes.

Um, so, um,

I'm going to very curious.
