I guess it's something.

Conley didn't even have to shut off his cable or anything like that.

He could just walk right back into the locker room tomorrow.

That's the dream.

I think two things.

I think it is troubling, if I'm going to give the other side of my Bulls optimism, that two teams that seem like they're onto something both welcome these guys and are like, let's fucking go.

Having said that, both of these guys are walking into much smaller roles than they had with the Bulls.

And so I think this slots them into basically where they ultimately net out in the league.

Uh, the white one is more interesting to me.

I mean, I think that the sumo will probably matter more in terms of the big picture or title race, because perhaps gives them the little jolt that they've kind of needed for a little while here that Conley wasn't giving him this season.

I think he was only averaging four points a game this season.

Um, but.

White kind of compounding this already advantage of the Hornets, who had the best offense in the league over the course of January and have looked like the hottest team in the league, if it's not the Clippers, since January 1st.

He just fits them and their identity so well.

And I do think when those three guys aren't all on the court at the same time, Knipple, Miller, and Ball...

It just really craters, especially in the backcourt.

I don't think Sexton was wasn't much more than just like a stopgap to get to something like this.

And now they have an overqualified version of that.

I know maybe this muddles White's next negotiation because he is due for a new contract in the offseason.

It's part of why Chicago wanted to move on for him.
