What happened in November with Brad getting hurt, with Kawhi getting hurt just earlier that same week, and the descent that the Clippers were on, they lost 19 out of 22 games.

It changed everything.

And look, the efforts were there by James.

And once Kawhi got healthy, you've seen the run that Kawhi has been on.

Thankfully, he's an all-star.

Like, that was great.

They're in ninth place.

And I think for James, he doesn't just request trades.

He knows who...

He is getting traded for and where he's going and where the bag is.

It's as simple as that.

James Harden don't play that play in tournament stuff.

He never has.

And so what materialized was a realization that moves can be made when you shorten the time for the requests.

There's a chance that things get done as opposed to having things linger for a month.

That wasn't the case here.

I think everyone listened to each other and saw something.

For me, it was a matter of do you really think Darius Garland is the answer to anything?

I'm not listening to a whole lot of that right now.

I don't think we're talking about that right now.
