He felt almost like a victim because we were asking him about the DNP, and we assured him, like, no, like, hey, like, if this was Rob Dillingham or Ant Simons, like, we would have been at their locker, too, because, frankly, like, the story was, yo, like,

AK went and got six guards, or made it so the team had six guards at the deadline.

Like, there was going to be some fallout from that, and that was the idea of what we were covering.

We had no idea that it was going to spiral into Ivy.

I mean, 10 of those minutes, six of them, six or seven of them were probably spent with Ivy, you know, professing his...

Love for Jesus.

And we're just asking him about, you know, did you practice with the team this week?

Why did they give you an idea of why you might not have played tonight?

That sort of stuff.

So I think that was when we first got...

an idea of what he was sort of like.

Yeah, I will say on an Usman Jane front, because that's obviously a guy I watched in OKC2, the jury's still out on him, right?

But I think generally it does speak to, like, bad process.

I know people will say, well, hey, it shows that they don't have a plan.

I think the plan's been pretty clear.

The plan has been one of discord.

You know, obviously, Billy, if you are trying to reset, Billy makes that harder because he is so...

Wired to win.

But that move specifically in a vacuum is like, hey, you you got off a guy who, like you said, fits the timeline, maybe has some untapped potential as a guy who was buried on the Thunder's bench in favor of.

Nick Richards, who I don't know what the future holds for Nick Richards, but they clearly did it to, like, fill the front court because the front court – the cupboard is bare in the front court, which is, like, bad process in general to me.
