You want to talk about, well, we've given George and we've given Max this, so we owed it to him. Wait. Wait. He's hurt all the time. Wait. I don't understand it. He's going to be 34 years old and he's going to have a player option for $69 million a few years from now.

So you pray you land in the top six because the other element of this Sixers thing is that that draft pick lands outside of the top six and it ends up with Oklahoma City.

But they are... what, four and a half games off the New Orleans pace. They're just going to have to hope to get lucky here with this thing because that would just be the icing on the cake for this season. All right, let's move to the next team. The Toronto Raptors. Highest approval rating for me of any NBA city. 26th on offense, 24th on defense. Last year, 24th on offense, 26th on defense.

So switching it up. What is this team doing? So, the fact that they're even 19-42, though, I'm kind of impressed. They have 19 wins. They were 8-31 and then went 8-2. They had wins against Golden State, against Boston. Is Orlando a good win anymore against the Clippers? But they've gone, I think, 3-9 in their last 12. So... During that stretch, they were playing incredible defense.

So January 12th to January 30th, that's how they did it. The offense was 22nd. The defense, they were playing the second best defense in the NBA over the course of two plus weeks in January. More positives. Grady Dick might be a thing, or it could be the sophomore opportunity bump that I mentioned so often where it's

The numbers aren't awesome, but he just gets more shot attempts because he has more minutes. But at the very least, it's not a Johnny Davis scenario here. Agbaje might be something. 40% from three this year. Like a legitimate rotation guy. Boucher is a legitimate rotation guy. But ultimately, this comes down to... the payroll.

So next year, Scotty Barnes, 38.6 million, RJ Barrett, 28 million, quickly 32 and a half million. And they just signed Brandon Ingram to three years and 120 million fully guaranteed for whatever fucking reason. I have no idea. I don't know who you're competing against. He doesn't play enough. And I think he's a good regular season score.
