J. Kyle Mann

But I appreciate the boldness in order to like put yourself out there.

Didn't seem like the money was going to be there for him regardless.

So I don't know what he actually, this isn't a Dennis Schroeder situation where people are now just like kind of putting that to you 10 to five years later, whatever it was when he turned that down from the Lakers.

Still pretty tough overall.

I'm just trying to think of another team.

I think everything we probably said about Simon's going into this season is what you could probably say about Cam Thomas now.

And Simon's worked out fine.

Now, Simon's, I think, is a different personality type.

I don't think he's as hard-o about getting his shots as Cam Thomas is.

But I think Kyle outlined the blueprint right there.

You have to show to everybody at this point.

You have to prove your worth.

This isn't like proving that you are of value of like a star or

You need to really just glom onto a winning situation to prove that you could play reserve minutes.

And so I do think that the motivation factors work on both sides.

Yeah, especially after just getting out of Tyus Jones to duck onto the luxury tax.

I do think a lot of teams in the midst of all this did get under the certain aprons, whatever one it may be, in order to sign buyout guys.

So I do think the buyout market could be frothier than it has been in recent years.

A couple other deals that we should just check off here just because there were some interesting on the fringes moves.

I do think Vooch to Boston is really interesting to me.
