How important is that and why is that so important?

It's funny because we're seeing both sides of that, I think, this season.

We're seeing what I just described with Kyle Lowry and with Kevin Love.

of what you would want out of, you know, how you treat your stars.

And then last year, you know, you see what's happening with Dirk and the Mavericks right now.

And just, it feels like there's just even a growing, growing divide between those two entities.

And that sucks.

Right.

And like,

I think it helps because you just want for the fan base as you described, but it also helps future players.

I always think about not even just how you treat your stars, but the facilities and things like that.

There's always ABC.

You always be crewed.

And superstars from other teams see how you treat the people in your locker room and the players that you are saying that you love.

And, you know, I think about what's happening with Dirk right now.

And like, no matter how the Mavericks are, you're going to see, you know, future.

And it's not just the Mavericks, but, you know, you're going to see future players be like, man, I see how you treat it, bro.

How am I going to get treated?

You know, that's why, you know, you see, um, good examples of things that, you know, maybe it's not great for, um, the salary cap, but maybe like, you know, you give that star player that extra contract to, you know, show, Hey, what you mean to us now that's might be sacrificing some wins on the other end, but you know, it may help us sit on the back end.

And also it shows that you're part of this group.
