He's expiring this coming season. Okay, so then he's going to what? One year left at 27.7. So you probably need to get an extension done in the same transaction.

Ooh. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Sort of. He's sort of there, Jalen Green, that does two things at once at that number. I could see that. I mean, the thing you did mention, they also have that Wendell Carter extension kicking in. where his salary goes from 10.8 to 18 on the extension. So that's a tricky one now, too, where they may have overreached a little on that.

They still have Goga's salary for two more years, which is a nice deal, but if he's not going to play in the playoffs and they're going to be this top-heavy, you can't really have a guy making eight who doesn't play.

Oh, yeah. Do not taint Goga that way. Sorry.

Yes. Yes. And then they... Now, they still have all their picks. They could still do something big, right? If they wanted to. I don't know if they have the appetite for it still. I think they still envision themselves as being a team with Paolo and Franz as the two best players. but they, you know, like if they wanted to get in on Giannis, they, they certainly could, right.

If they wanted to do something big like that, I, again, I don't sense the appetite for that, but they could be a player if they wish to.

You're allowed to negotiate on these Supermax deals. Right? And Mobley's third season wasn't amazing. It wasn't so amazing that it was like, we have to give him everything. This is the moral hazard argument that I remember hearing. The Cats did set up his contract to only give him 27.5% of the max if he made 13 All-NBA.
