Kirk Goldsberry

But now you look at him and you just watch him during games and you're just thinking about if Keaton Wagler's awesome for the Clippers, right?

you're just constantly thinking about that as you see Zubats.

The other thing I didn't like about the trade was before the trade deadline, you do it, and we thought there was a top four, and then we still knew after that the draft was good, but we knew there were four guys, and that's probably how the Pacers assessed it.

But where you're not

Factoring in is who's going to make a leap in February and March in college basketball.

And what happened was Wagler and Acuff made a little bit of a leap.

So they're not in the top four, but they're really good value at five or six.

And that's why I just would have waited.

I feel like this trade would have been there in May, Kirk.

Yeah.

Mike Rohr emails us about this.

Um, he's, he said how in the podcast Sunday, I didn't see a conspiracy for the Pacers.

Like the Pacers not getting a pick actually didn't conspiracy bill was not triggered by that.

Mike Rohr says there was a conspiracy potentially, and he doesn't have a dog in the fight.

He said the Knicks are set up to be good next few years.

So are the Celtics, maybe even the Sixers three big markets.

Do you think the NBA really wanted small market Indy to get better and spoil the East party when they have small market juggernauts in Oklahoma City and San Antonio?

Could they have had a third one?

That's all I've got.

That's the conspiracy.
