And Steve Kerr has talked about like Golden State's entire offense when they play the Lakers is trying to find and come up with ways to get Anthony Davis away from the rim. And they feel like if they can get 80 out of the away from the rim, it's going to be a layup line or an offensive rebound line. uh, or party, whatever. Uh, so I think that's like, that's two eighties, I guess, argument.

I, I, I see the value in that. And the Lakers, like even the last couple of years have tended to play better when they played bigger lineups, uh, not even necessarily another center out there, but like when they play their big wings and they're going like LeBron, a big guy, six, eight or six, nine and above NAD, those lineups have played really well.

It's just been because the roster has been so kind of structured towards guards and perimeter guys that they typically play these like three guard lineups that haven't been as good defensively. So I get where 80 is coming from, but ultimately he's a five. And I think Dallas is going to figure out with their roster, like him closing at the five is the best option.

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-
