it it showed i mean they lost they lost to the kings um and they and they flew back to houston right after the game i mean most teams in the central time zone i know that's where we were in when you play in california you stay over and then you fly the next day so you don't get in at like 4 a.m and the rockets were just like screw this we out of here um because again they didn't have anywhere to stay here anyway um and again and again i mean there's certain things like when you travel with an nba team you can't just stay at the north natomas la quinta inn you know like you guys they're they're
There's only a couple.
La Quinta's taking some strays.
No offense, guys.
That's good to know.
We're giving them some free publicity.
If you have an NBA team and all the players have their dog with them, then La Quinta is it.
That's right.
Uh, I think, I think it's, I think it's time.
I think both parties realize it kind of like with the, with the Hawks and Trey young that we just had.
They part of the reason they traded Desmond Bain this past season is because they realized they weren't good enough with the jaw.
Jaron Desmond core and that jaw wasn't reliable enough to be the main piece of a team like that.
So they wanted to get more assets, set themselves up either to draft that guy or trade for that guy.
But part of the part of the reason to do that with Desmond Bain, who they loved and valued as a good culture guy and all that was that they

And now it's more like, OK, he's going to be good, but he's going to be available for half the games and he's not really going to be a top 15 player in the league.
So, yeah, what are you doing here?
