We're ultimately getting what we used to have.

It took me a second, but I was there.

I think this is where we need the flaccid drop because I have to say I appreciate the Grizzlies acting ahead of this by getting out and trading Jaren Jackson.

Clearly the writing was on the wall with this team.

It seems like Ja was basically going for nothing.

They can't get rid of him, but it seems like they're going to move on from him as soon as possible.

Having said that, the return, I don't know if they really got the sort of blue-chip asset that really would have excited me if I'm a Grizzlies fan.

And I did find it funny that the kind of massaging from the reporters was like, oh, they're building around their cornerstones of Cedric Coward and Zach Headey, which is like, I guess, those are two players that will be there probably for the next generation.

I don't know if they'd be considered cornerstones at this point, but they just got a big load of stuff.

And as we've seen with other teams, like certain teams, just things go haywire and all of a sudden you're backdooring into a top 10 pick.

So I get it at this point, especially when the swaps are of swaps, of swaps, of swaps, of swaps.

But I don't know.

They just basically cleared the road for what's next, which is fine.

They don't know what the meal looks like.

And this package, this platter, it's a lot of like coleslaw and like just a bunch of olives and all this other stuff.

Yeah.

When they prepare it like well, then all of a sudden things are looking pretty good.

Right now though, it's a lot of just like just leafy greens just on the plate.

Yeah, well, they need that down in the South.

While we ponder that, why don't we take a quick break and we'll come back to the last part of these trades.
