I mean, nobody's wanted Ingram for a year and a half.

Yes. Is that going to change in the next three weeks here? With McCollum, at least he has had some banger performances as of late. He's looked healthy. He looks very good for them right now. So maybe you're trading McCollum. The issue is the fact that he's a tough guy to trade at $33 million this year. He's still a smaller guard. So for New Orleans, part of me, Bill, looks at this as...

A year in which your horrible start with Zion missing time keeps you in the lottery. It's going to keep you having good draft odds. And then the Lakers pick. Yes. So if you win towards the end of the season, maybe you actually have some clarity on what you want to do heading into the summer. So I'm not totally against keeping things together because you're going to have a lottery pick anyway.

You're not going to get into the play-in. You're too far back right now. So I'm okay with keeping things together right now. And if Zion is back to prime Zion for the whole rest of the season... I think that maybe gives you an idea of what you want to do in the summer if you're the Pelicans versus dumping things right now just for slightly higher odds.

So you're still ejecting from the Zion situation.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

If you're trying to add, which I don't think they're going to go the other way. Walker Kessler is a center. Try to go get him from Utah. Then you can play two big lineups. Are you winning four rounds if you make a Walker Kessler trade? No. Just one of the names. You can trade two picks. You can trade multiple swaps. You do have some tradable salaries. So maybe that's one of the guys you go for.

And... I don't know if you and I feel the same way about this guy, Bill, but I think everything Zach Levine has done this year, forget about last year. No, we're aligned on that. Okay.
