and are number 21 since, so sort of falling off a cliff.

The heat defense, that culture, right?

That hard work and tenacity, all that stuff.

They just gave up a lot of points right now.

Final one here, sort of pulling some strange headlines from yesterday.

The NBA fined the Portland Trailblazers $100,000 for a legal contact made with Young Hansen in December 2023, two years before the seven-footer from China was drafted.

The league also suspended two assistant general managers for two weeks without pay because of all this.

Then, we learned yesterday, Grizzlies forward Brandon Clark was arrested in Arkansas on charges that included speeding and possession of a controlled substance.

So, wilder story from yesterday, TK.

The Blazers and these assistant GMs being suspended and the fine there to the team, or the Brandon Clark of it all, what you got?

No.

Didn't they have, like, the 11th pick?

And that was a coward trade with the Grizzlies for a future?

Sounds right.

So my point is they were like, well, this guy nobody else knows about is going to be there at 16, so let's get some future draft capital.

I'm pretty sure that was a coward, young, handsome thing.

So anyway, they got dinged for it here.

And a couple guys got a couple weeks off.

They'll pay the two assistant general managers.

As for the Clark thing...
