So I think for the Lakers, like that's probably a little bit too rich of a price. But someone like that, because he's a lob threat, he can protect the rim. And maybe you can still kind of play that small ball basketball. But but have him be like a 20 to 24 minute a night starter. That's exactly the rest of the game. You go small.

Well, it seems like this was the rare trade going back to like old school NBA days where the two GMs just kept this between themselves and talking to people around the Lakers organization that I consistently talk to in different segments of the front office or the organization. Like

these people that legitimately did not know that this trade was coming and had no idea, uh, about the, just the inner workings of it. So I think that this was like the, the rare trade, like we've seen a few of these throughout, uh, recent NBA history, but I think nothing quite to this magnitude.

So the fact that they were able to keep this between them, not let it leak out, not let the agents know, not let the players know. Uh, I think that's pretty rare in 2025. Uh, I think there's a lot to get into with this. I still don't understand it. I mean, I listened to your reaction with Bill right after it happened, and it was like, I'm totally in agreement with you.

There's just so many parts of this I still don't quite understand. And I think for the Lakers, they now have a golden parachute into the next era of post-LeBron, and now it seems like they're far better positioned than they were looking to be as recently as a couple days ago.

Yeah, and it feels like they've always... You could go Luka, LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Magic, Kareem, Baylor, West, Chamberlain. The Lakers have a history of... getting generational superstars and often trading for these guys in ways you wouldn't quite expect.

And I think to your point, the kind of crazy thing was like the context of this night was the Lakers are coming off of one of their best wins of the season. I would say to me, it was right up there with the Celtics win because you win at MSG without Anthony Davis. And as you just said, like Jackson Hayes started at center and they went through half of that game
