Then on the other side of it, you have Lewin with the Celtics.

Okay, well, obviously Dave Lewin and the Celtics' best practices have turned out well.

I'm sorry that they had a debilitating ankle injury from one of their stars, but they seem to have still done okay in the process, being a perennial contender.

And then Spurs DNA speaks unto itself when you consider Dave Taleb, who is somebody who is part of what looks like yet another dynasty.

So I just looked at Marshall like, number one, he's the interviewer asking you to do spec work for free.

You're like, oh, you really want to be our GM?

Like this turned into some reality show, but a dangerous one, like, I don't know, Room Raiders or something or Next?

I just named wheels off MTV reality shows that were like old dating shows.

You're like, Oh, you really want to be our GM.

Give me a plan to trade away.

Patrick Williams.
