So an interesting like vote of support to your line of thinking while you were talking, it's like

Even even though the star power is is not quite as although I say that the Beatles song that I I picked was two of us because it's like it's Luca and it's Austin Reeves.

Those are the two drink stirring, you know, creator talents on this on this team.

I was thinking back about some of those early Mavs teams, and I was thinking about the like 2019-20 Dallas Mav team.

Uh they were first in the NBA in offensive rating.

Uh and you know, just rattling off.

If you look down through that roster, I mean, granted, Porzingis was on that team uh off and on.

Uh, but you just had guys like it was a cast of characters that fit the Luca template of, you know, it's Maxie K Kleba, it's you know, Dorian Finney Smith, it's um well

Ryan Brokoff, who I saw works for an agency now, that like visual of him with an agency like works a lot better.

He look he just looks he looks like Vince Gilligan.

I don't know.

I agree with you that at times it seems like we hum and haw about who the best players of the in the world are.

And Luca's just kind of

I don't know what the acting comparison of that would be.

It's just like, no, I think that you know, Daniel Day Lewis should just win the Oscar every year, regardless of whether he made a movie or not.

I I wonder about the Lakers defensively um to be a serious basketball team, but I think they're gonna be a good, competent basketball team on offense in the way that you're saying.

It's very possible that they could be in like the top five of the league in offensive rating just because an optimized Luka team is just hard as shit to stop.
