I don't really... The Lillard situation, you said it's unprecedented.

It's like...

I'm of a few minds about this where I'm like, I don't blame... You want the Bucs to do everything.

The worst situation that you can have when you have a superstar like Giannis is a team not laying it all on the line.

The Bucs have repeatedly.

And, you know, maybe their judgment about...

how they've managed their assets and the way that they've gone about it.

The Drew thing, the Dame thing, it was a big swing.

And if you have a superstar like Giannis, you want a team that is willing to make big swings.

The stretching him out, though, it's unprecedented because it was just kind of unprecedented bad luck.

You got a guy, Dame, who's still competitive.

Granted, the Dame-Giannis tandem...

even though the Achilles injury did derail it, it didn't really... It was never really fully rolling on the work.

It didn't derail it.

But let's say the injury doesn't happen.

I mean, there were some issues there.

It's like, you know, Dame is...

leaning pretty heavily towards scoring and ball screen.

I think that's what people were kind of envisioning was like these two guys playing two man together.

Just imagine the utopia, the basketball utopia that's going to spring up around that.
