lurching around aimlessly out of the play. It's like, look, the trade is, is not, I've said before, like I wouldn't have done a trade. Almost no one in the NBA would have done this specific trade. You can find corners of smart NBA people, team people who would, who would tell you the idea of getting out ahead of this and trading Luca is not a crazy idea.

the idea of doing it without shopping him to get nine first round draft picks and swaps and doing this specific trade is where the logic falls apart. So I look, I still think it's a crazy trade, but I'm just tired of like, I'm going to be embarrassed until our backs are against the wall. And then I'm going to show you that. Yeah, I can put up a little bit of a fight.

How about you put up a fucking fight in like game one of the second round. And now you're down three, one, and you're probably going home.

Well, I mean, this is like when the trade happened, we're like, well, he gets to look at LeBron's off-court regimen up close and correct all these problems. He is extension eligible at the end of the season. LeBron has a player option this summer. And sneaky thing to look at

Austin Reeves is extension eligible, and I don't think there's any way that he takes the extension that the Lakers can offer, which is like four years, 90 million. He's going to go into unrestricted free agency after the 25, 26 season. They obviously still have all the stuff that they traded for Mark Williams before they did the trade.

I think the Lakers backed out of the trade certainly feels that way.

They've got swaps. And I do think one interesting stat from this series is that Luka only has 20 assists in four games, which for him is not very many. He has low assists game one. He had one, I think, in game one and two in game four and then a bunch in the middle. And I think you feel the absence of a dive man for him to sort of break down the defense and get into his sweet spots.

Jackson Hayes didn't play the entire second half. And by the way, you know what what complicates everything you're talking about? Scramming, fighting over screens when you have to play the entire second half of a high stakes playoff game against a big, nasty, fast physical team. I don't know what I haven't. I'm not reading what the reaction to it is. I understand it was desperation time.

And it's like, there are a lot of coaches. If they did that, they would be getting flambéed today. If Tibbs did that, he would be getting lambasted today. And I understand it's apples to oranges because Tibbs does this in the regular season and JJ Redick does not. I get it.

But like, that is a really, a really like, I'm watching it and I'm like, wait, I actually looked back in the middle of the game. Like, did I miss a sub or is he actually not subbed anybody? I'm like, oh my God. I mean, I would hope Tibbs took it as a personal attack.

Like lots of other coaches do this. You like, they do it with Curry. Like you get the, you get a minute, you get the TV timeout, you get back in the game. Um, also Jordan Goodwin can play. I think Jordan Goodwin can play a little bit more than he's playing. Yeah. Uh, Dan Wojcicki wrote a great piece about the Banshee culture.

That's a term they use to describe just the flying around defensive players that they've cultivated. And Goodwin is kind of the poster guy in the story. It's like, well, it's nice that they were Banshee, bought into Banshee culture. Now they can't get on the floor. Season actually matters. It's tough scenes. I will say,

Oklahoma City is watching all of this and being like, you guys go to town, like beat the shit out of each other. We're over here. Yeah, Memphis figured us out, but the series is over. So we're just we're just chilling. Like we're fresh as a daisy. We're young. We're deep. And it's like it's it's the Warriors Rockets game for us tonight.

But right now we only have one to two series in the entire round and we're about to talk about it. Like, I think the Warriors are going to have some urgency to win this game and try to get out of this series because they're watching these teams just slug each other. And every series is so physical. The Thunder are like, yeah, we're done. We're cool.

We'll take like eight days off until the next round if you'll get. And they might get like, depending on this Denver Clippers series. I want to give Chris Finch's flowers. You mentioned the Reed-Gobert conundrum. I feel like he's played that exactly right. He's had a great feel for, okay, and I've said this before, the Rudy issue is not on defense.

It's on offense, particularly the way the Lakers are guarding them.

Didn't go great. I feel like he's had a great feel for that. And the same with DiVincenzo and Conley. And the Wolves' second most played lineup is that lineup with DiVincenzo for Conley and Reed for Gobert. Plus 27 in 22 minutes. for the series.

He even played all three bigs together yesterday and played now somewhat due to foul trouble, played Jada McDaniels at the four and Terrence Shannon at the four played a little smaller. Like he's playing every card and he's doing it in the right doses.

Any, any, any adjustment you're looking for from the Lakers as they try to save their season other than what we've kind of talked about defensively and and all that.

A couple of things before we put this series to bed. Minnesota, 35% offensive rebounding rate. They're doing their job as the bigger team.
