Joel Lorenzi

So, you know, I do think...

In a lot of ways, it was a bad process.

Maybe not as much.

I'd argue Usman Jang is more a bad process just because on his face, you knew at the time what it was.

This thing obviously has become something that they probably couldn't have predicted, even though the writing was somewhat on the wall.

Thanks.

Thanks, guys.

I'm curious, Joel, as far as talking to Jaden Ivey himself before all of this took place, because there's reports of him, you know, trying to push his religious beliefs on others, and that extends beyond the team to even beat reporters.

Has he ever had these types of conversations that have been described with you?

And Joel, we're up against it here, but I really am curious.

How much blowback do you think, if any, Arturis Karnaschovas and the front office are going to get?

You pair this and what happened, you talk about due diligence with information that was out there before they made the trade about...

what this man was talking about, Jaden Ivey.

And then you look at a performance like the one Usman Jing puts together last night.

I feel like you can look at the trade deadline and say it has been highly unsuccessful in terms of taking flyers on guys and trying to find guys who pair up with this quote-unquote timeline of Madis Bouzelis and Josh Giddey going forward.

Put some hot sauce on my burrito, baby.

I think they're moving us on to number two.

Sorry.

And we're going to get into some Bulls business here for question number two, but I have a programming note for everyone.

I've tried that trade thing for the last time.
