I think it depends on what they do in the next three days here. Because if they stand pat with the current roster, as you just alluded to earlier, Jackson Hayes is a starting center. I think he's more of a fringe rotation player rather than a starting rotation player.

And again, I think it's going to be more like the Knicks game where they go with Dorian Finney-Smith at the 5 or Jared Vanderbilt at the 5. and they play these wing heavy lineups. And I know JJ Redick likes that. He likes the more modern kind of small ball type lineups. But I think this group just has too many holes defensively.

Like I think Max Christie has been an afterthought in this trade, but he had kind of become the Lakers fourth best player over the last like month and a half. He was, they were 16 and eight with him in the starting lineup. He was shooting 40% on threes, averaging between like 11 and 12 points a game. So like Max Christie had kind of become a, a reliable two-way wing for them. And I didn't lose it.

Like they lost two starters and they really added one. And of course, Luca is better than AD. And again, you make the trade 10 out of 10 times, but like from a short-term perspective, this group took a step back defensively and took a major step back in the interior. Like they already needed a second center. Now they don't really, they might need two centers, honestly. So-

I think depending on what they do in the next three days, I've heard that they're trying to be like the one big thing here is they've shifted from there is this notion of like the LeBron 80 timeline of you have maybe 18 months to try and maximize this window. They've shifted away from that and now they're on the loop. Luka timeline.

So I think any move they make, if they invest that 2031 first round pick or a pick swap, or even any of the younger talent, it's going to be about getting a guy who can fit now and longer term with Luka.

So I don't think they're going to make some type of win now move in terms of like, here's a first round pick for a 30 year old center, a 33 year old, like, I think they're looking at guys in their late 20s and younger, and guys who can play with Luka longer term. So If they do make a bigger move here, I think it'll be for a younger player.
