Justin Verrier

We're going on a playoff run.

We'll see in the playoffs if he does anything different.

We'll see when we get there.

Yes.

But for now, there immediately seems to be chemistry and a natural hierarchy already established.

In addition to that, I thought Keon Ellis certainly played with Pep against his former team that was bound to happen.

I just feel like there are live bodies in that lineup like there haven't been before.

And to that point, like they're still scraping the barrel when it comes to like filling out the wing rotation, like Dean Wade, like...

When does he play?

Sam Merrill was there, but is he going to play in the next game?

There's just so much truth.

Is he going to be back in time for the stretch run there?

They need bodies and they need Verve in that lineup.

And I do think Schroeder and Ellis fill that role at least.

And so to bring it back to the bigger picture conversation, I just think if there's a window, I don't like this as a long-term play giving up like the next six to seven years of Darius Garland.

But right now this might be the type of wind now move that threads the needle in a weird way that it hasn't in years past.

A little balance action?

I was just thinking of the left-handed emporium from Ned Flanders the entire time.

Was it the left-porium or something?

Left-orium.
