But I don't hate where they netted out.

Let's get into it, yeah.

He goes to the Wolves.

White goes to the Hornets.

Yeah.

To me, like the Dillinghams, the Leonard Millers, the Colin Sextons, those are just names on a ledger who you can either take or leave it at this point.

Dillingham does probably still have some money on his deal, but he probably has options in there where you could just wave your hands of it.

If, if you really want to go that point, they basically used him as salary matching and that was his primary value.

So I don't see a problem with that, but my, my like bullishness does stem to excuse the pun does stem a lot from Ivy.

It's really like if you got Ivy by buying low and just like I said, with the Clippers, like prioritize a longer view, as opposed to the Pistons who just needed a rotation spot for

uh, just an offensive jolt, which is what they got in herder.

I get it.

And so we'll see about Simon's.

I have to imagine also that like the market, if it plays out this year, like it did last year with a lot of these combo guards who are just offense forward and they're just too small to really have a

a role defensively.

Like he might be looking at like having his salary.

I also think like the giddy situation last year makes me bullish about Ivy's negotiations because if restricted free agency, isn't that much of a threat, they might get him on, on a deal too.

So there's a lot of words to like ultimately paper over the fact that they do end up with like a lot of guards and ultimately probably don't change their ceilings.

But this is like a baby step forward overall.

And for that, um,
