And that may change. Maybe that'll be the last part of it.

I don't know. The whole question of their direction is like they're the old Charlotte team that was chasing the eighth seed every year. I mean, that to me is what they are now. Because they don't want to tank, but they're not actually good.

So what do you do?

I do think you have to figure out if there's a market for Sabonis. I think you're probably going to find out pretty quickly that there's not, especially because that, I mean, that renegotiate and extend was so over exuberant on him. I think that was one of their original sins. You know, they, they have him on the book now, even this year at 43.6.

And even though Sabonis has, he's a valuable player, he's made all-star teams. He's very durable and, But I just don't know that he's a flavor that a lot of other front offices like as far as actually building the team around. There's a few guys like that that we're going to end up talking about, I think. And so you're almost stuck then trying to make the best out of this year.

I think, I mean, you do have a little bit of float below the tax line. It's tough having a backup center making 10 now with Valanchunas. That clocks things up too. I mean, can you get something for DeRozan at this point? I'm not really sure what his market is either. He's kind of the same type of thing. Same thing with Levine.

Like they have these guys that kind of other teams aren't super excited about having.

I would lean that way too. Yeah, you could. You make your life a little easier in 26-27 if you, say, have him opt out of that year and sign for like three for 35 or something. then you have him for those extra years also. And, and I'm just not sure what you're getting is, you know, he's getting, be getting into his thirties then.
