Age is kind of the same between Beal and Trey.

That one was for five years compared to Trey's four.

But it's similar because Beal was not the same Beal as he was the first...

chunk of his career.

There's no doubt this is going to be a much better team than a 17-win team that they had last year or whatever they've had been putting together here, 17, 18-win teams.

Like, I mean, AD, whether he's there, sure.

Trey, the number one pick, let's say it's DeBanta.

Then there are pieces where it's defensive-minded guys, Starr, Koulibaly, Keyshawn George they love.

Trey Johnson, obviously a recent pick.

Will Riley, good old Canadian boy, always good to have a Canadian.

There is Bob Carrington, I guess, as a point guard, a backup point guard now.

you know, it's not brutal.

It's not, it's not playoff lock to me by any means, but you know, it's better.

I guess it's better.

And that's what they're hoping for.

And look, this deal looks great if they draft A.J.

DeBansa and he becomes an all-NBA player every single year, then we're not caring about having Trae Young on this ridiculous deal because he will be the number two guy and you're still paying DeBansa like, what, $20 million a year on his extension after that.

If the draft pick is good, it's all good.

Yeah, that's a good point.

Yeah.
