They did a great job to get this team back to the point. I think all of us thought the Clippers would win like 35 games this year. And I was dead wrong about their, they played great defense. They nailed all the role player signings, like great job. I think they were looking at being a player at free agency for 26 and And now Kawhi comes back and plays and looks sort of like the old Kawhi.

And it makes you wonder. You have a Norm Powell extension question. Had a great year, but he's in his 30s. He makes 20 this year. What do you really want to do there?

I tend to agree with you. Or do you sell high on him? And the most provocative thing is, is now the time to cash in your Kawhi Leonard chips?

Yeah, I think... I think it's hard. I think they probably... Even if they made the calls, I think they would find out, like you said, that people are so spooked by his injury history that you're just not going to get a whole lot. I mean, even the...
