You get Anthony Davis in a Wizards jersey at the very least for the photo op, but definitely not for actually on the court because it sounds like whether he plays this season is up in the air.

I guess, Rob, what was the one that stuck out to you thus far of the first impressions?

You only got one game of some of these guys, but did one of those games, at the very least, did you target for over the weekend?

Listen, it's objectively hilarious that when they wanted to really push the tank button, that they sat their three best players, which were Laurie Markkinen, Jaron Jackson, Jr.

and Yusuf Nurkic.

Uh, Keonta George got hurt earlier in that game.

So we'll see, probably isn't going to come back for the rest of the season.

But Nurk like legitimately like working as like a elbow hub diamond dudes up.

It's just like he's reborn.

And that's the whole thing.

Like it does feel like they've they managed to bring the best qualities of some of these players out of it.

But it doesn't matter because, you know, when when the rubber meets the road, Nurk's on the bench.

Well, another action on Saturday night, we got our first glimpse of James Harden in a Cavaliers jersey.

It was hilarious because I don't know if you guys saw the video of this where I guess Travis Scott was there with Vivek.

He was like a privileged fan where they were just hanging out courtside, which Vivek loves to do, just trot out celebrities.

So it seems like he's important.

When the Cavs won that game, Scott just completely left Vivek behind and just like hugged Harden, then just like followed him off the court to the other end.

He just didn't say goodbye to Rebecca.

But I did think it was funny also because if you looked at the lines from that game from the Cavs and there were a bunch of graphics being like, Jared Allen had this, Harden had this, and Mitchell had this, but then they almost got beat pretty handedly by the Kings at a certain point.

But Harden, I did feel like in the midst of all that, he's like just...
