Very fair. Very fair. And I think that was the year Jimmy got hurt, right? If I'm not mistaken.
Right. Well, and that kind of speaks to my point, which is, I mean, much more significant than the Terry Rozier fiasco is the handling of Jimmy Butler. So, I mean, this is... And a lot of players around the league have kind of talked about this openly with how Pat Riley treats players and...

I guess I don't want to say in an antiquated way, but some don't smile upon it, I guess is what I would say. And... so like that could have obviously been handled better in, in various ways, particularly if you, I mean, you just underestimated a guy who you should have had a better understanding of in terms of his motivations and all that sort of thing.

So I, I think this is one of the more respected for deservedly so organizations and franchises, um, in the NBA and has been for, you know, 20 years. Uh, And if they were to get Giannis or whoever... This summer, I'm not going to be stunned because it's the Miami Heat. If they get Giannis, I would be stunned.

Yeah, mostly speaking figuratively. But yeah, if they make a move that is the equivalent of the Jimmy Butler trade, where it's like you give up whatever they get, Josh Richardson and nothing for Jimmy Butler, I wouldn't be shocked. Yeah. But at the same time, I don't expect them to get out of this. And I don't expect them to get out of this, to be honest with you. And I don't think they have.

And then my last thing that I wanted to say was this is completely random, but I really enjoyed the Draymond Green deep dive. And in terms of amplifiers, one of the first guys that pops into my head is Bam Adebayo. And it is...
