They don't want to see the parity in the smaller markets and all this other stuff. And I get it if you're a smaller market and you don't have the opportunity to land some of those bigger players, you feel like there's a disadvantage.

It's a lot. I actually have an idea for you guys because I had this down on my list as well. So the apron has become the biggest boogeyman in the NBA at this point, right? All about second apron.

What if, because the apron is such a deterrent from transactions, we actually get rid of salary matching in trade?
