Just put a bunch of trails everywhere and then everything will be walkable.

Everything will be great.

So aren't people excited about the trails?

I guess not.

Just get out on the trail, guys.

Just stop worrying about Luca and what he's doing with the Lakers.

Everything will be better off for him.

Well, I do wonder overall, because I saw the Dallas Mavericks here last week in Portland.

I am wondering to myself how quickly this thing can turn around because I look at this team.

I'm like, this is at least in terms of the parts specifically, a higher end team than is typically winning only 20 games.

Sure.

Like I think if I'm saying one nice thing about the Dallas Mavericks, I found myself during that game wondering how quickly can this turn around, especially because a lot of what they need is just someone who could actually handle the ball.

And Kyrie presumably will be back next year and ready to fill that void.

As you're watching the Mavericks, does it seem like that too?

Like they do have a chalk outline of a not a serious contender, but the very least a competitive team that would probably be playing ish.

So this is presumably the starting lineup going into next season.

It'd be Kyrie, you assume Max Christie, Cooper, PJ Washington, I assume at the four, and then Lively and Gafford in some sort of rotation.

We'll see about Lively.

Haven't seen him for a very long time.

I think injuries are becoming a very big concern there.
