Let's just like, let's let it rip and next year we'll go from there.

And I will say as a byproduct, like teams that stocked up on future picks for trading their superstars, like the Portland Trailblazers, for instance, are really in a bind now because all of a sudden these juicy ass assets that they've acquired, like all of a sudden just the Blazers, you know, it's it's tough out here, man.

a little Pino off the glass, a little IPA.

Um, it's been gorgeous here this week though.

Wow.

What a, what a lovely spring.

It really just makes your heart and your mind.

No, but I do think the Blazers or any other team, the Rockets, for instance, seeing that I have to use other examples of future picks, it sucks because those assets all of a sudden don't look as attractive.

On the flip side of that, a team like the Brooklyn Nets, who we're just going to talk about, don't have their picks next year.

And it's like, oh, fuck it.

It doesn't matter because that pick doesn't matter anyway.

Yeah.

Having said that, though, with the Nets, still kind of like, what do we got here?

I feel like I like a new rookie every month.

And for this month, it's Ben Seroff, who, unfortunately for you guys, I have to make the obvious Denny Avdia comp because I do think, despite the fact that they are countrymen, there is a little Avdia in this guy where he gets north-south downhill like a running back.

in a way that reminds me a lot of Denny.

And then all of the skill stuff seems to pop from there.

He's a little smaller, a little bit more dynamic as an athlete too, and is doing some of the ball handling stuff first, whereas Denny became more of a role player and now has backdoored some of the more skill stuff.

Like from a jump, the way he's able to get downhill and then create or like he's getting to the line pretty well.

I've been pretty impressed.
