Boston's already won one. The difference between Boston, the Bucks, Dallas, everybody's already paid. That money is spent. OKC, if they flame out in the first round, I don't think they will. I actually think they're going to win a championship. But if they don't, they're going to have to decide what do they do with Jalen Williams, right?

And OKC doesn't pay. That's why James Harden was out, right? OKC doesn't pay. I mean, when Russ got paid, they got PG. They could do two, three. Now, it's easier to do three when you win, when you win a championship. Even if they, like, get to the finals, like, you know... But they need to win it. You know what it's like? It's like an NFL.
