Of the other deals on the board, Rob, which one is the most interesting one to you?

We didn't consider the Hawks because Porzingis has played five games since I believe November.

I mean, they're Jalen Johnson plus the Pelicans draft pick is what they are.

That is true.

And I do like it from that point of view.

I think if you go through the transactions, it looks pretty weird because I believe they gave up for firsts.

just in order to trade for Porzingis from the Celtics.

And so I bet you the transaction math doesn't work out in their favor, but clearly things change over the course of this season, getting rid of Trey Young.

They're basically saying we're the future, not the now, and none of these guys really changes that.

My favorite thing is in a, in a graphic of all those guys, which included drew Timmy and all the other ones.

They also put JJ Reddick there.

More, more edgy white guys than a Portland brewery.

Yes, low-key prickly.

a party on the strand in Manhattan beach, perhaps.

Yeah.

We're really onto something now as a society.

Listen, he called his shot.

And he was wrong.

Nobody needed him, which is very tough.
