It's just crazy. Wow. You know, but I will say this. Look, these guys are still playing really hard, even in spite of the injuries and the lack of success. But, you know, we have been discussing it for weeks. Should they tank? They seemingly are not going to tank. Is that the right call?

Like, do you think that they should have just pulled the plug on the season, try to salvage, you know, the draft pick and, you know, get through it without, you know, suffering further injury to some of these guys who seem to be, you know, so prone to it?

Yeah, it's interesting you talk about the competitiveness of this year because I think signing Paul George was part of the process of expecting Embiid to miss games. And so you had another star there to kind of keep things afloat with Maxie throughout the season as Embiid would miss time. But George is also a guy who's been pretty hurt recently.

And the pinky issue is another thing, but he's had an up and down season. He was starting to play better in January before getting hurt here. Has it been, I mean, it obviously has been frustrating, but do you think this team has what it takes? There are only two and a half games out of eight right now, or basically the play in race.

Do you think they have what it takes to make that sort of run happen?

Banking on making a run from the play-in, it's worked for a couple of teams, but... There's so many things that have to break right, including injuries to the teams that you might run into. Look, obviously, we could talk about the long term, but they're committed to Joel Embiid. Paul George is under contract. Tyrese Maxey is young and under contract.

I mean, this is probably the core of the team for at least the next couple years, right? I mean, barring a trade this summer or something. Or a Paul George, Jimmy Butler trade. I was going to say, what about a trade right now? Like, is there a chance that this team makes a move to try to improve today? Like, is there something out there for them where they can improve on the margins?
