Like there is something here.

I think it might take another two seasons to build on top of that.

But like they just always find good players.

That's the old.

Truly.

All right.

Which team do you want to go for next?

Pelicans, Jazz, or Kings?

I mean, it seems like the Pelicans have earned it.

I guess so.

Top of the pile.

And they're really just, they're giving it their best.

That's my nice thing to say about them.

They're trying as much as they possibly can to the point that they've diminished their rookies to 20 minutes a game sorts of players and really emphasize their vets in order to win, question mark.

I can't tell if that's because they're trying to avoid the shame of potentially giving up a top three pick in this upcoming draft or

Uh, if the ownership just wants to see a competitive product out there, which I guess I don't blame them, but I just don't know to what end.

Clearly they made a decision to pivot to the future, but they're still beholden to the in air quotes, young core of the past regime, but moved on from a lot of the principles of that regime.

And so I just can't figure out what the plan is here, but I guess shouts to them for giving it their best.

I kind of think you should have to live in your own mess of your own design here.

Like, the Pelicans have failed because of their own organizational incompetence, let's just be honest here, or the lack of financing that they've been willing to give to the organization.
