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... I mean, even look at what the Spurs got when Kawhi was awesome, right? Because people were worried about his knees. So...

I think that's, that's definitely an issue, but then, so what are you doing then? Are you, are you pushing it out to say, well, maybe we'll be a cap player in 27 instead. Can you get James Harden to just sign for two years? Even, even if you give him a good, good number, probably a raise off his 36, maybe go a little bit into the tax this year, leave the norm thing kind of hanging. Um,

So there's some interesting questions here. And then they still need to do a little bit of work, I think, on the back end of the roster this offseason, get a real backup five, right?

No, it doesn't.

No, it doesn't.

No, it doesn't.

Yeah, the Clippers signed Mann to that extension, regretted it pretty quickly, and then were able to get off of it and get assets. I think the Hawks overreacted to how bad Bogdanovich looked in the first half of last season. I mean, he wasn't feeling great physically. And, like, he was really struggling. Like, there's no other way to slice it. Ed...

he looked better physically at the end of the year with the Clippers was even like getting offensive rebounds in the Denver series. And I actually talked to him in LA. He's like, yeah, I feel a lot better. And so I think the, yeah, that was a great trade by the Clippers to get off of a, a mistake. I think man can do some things for Atlanta. Like he's a good shooter.

If he has his feet set in the corner, he can play some D play with some energy, but the Hawks, the way they're set up right now, they need more creation than he can give them. And so he's, he wasn't that productive for them and he still got three more years at 15 and a half.

Well, it was because he basically made the initial trade too, even though Travis Schlenk theoretically had the conch then. Did he or did the owners make that trade? It was a combination of the two basically. So, yeah, that was kind of where everything went.
