I know his contract is incredibly pricey and they're going to have to start paying their young talent pretty soon, Detroit is.

But I would just, I would swing and I would go for it because he's in his prime, he's 20, Larry Markin, in his prime, I think he's 28 years old.

And he doesn't need the ball to make other guys better.

I think he's one of the more ideal pieces that you could add if you are a team like Detroit that is ascending right now.

So I just want it to happen so bad.

I want to see it.

three firsts and a swap like that's the plus contracts are in there too plus we know yeah tobias harris would be involved for sure um poor tobias he's probably dreading it do you think he's been on reddit and salt lake like lucius looking at condos um yeah so just a tear reading my column um

Yeah, so I think that it just makes so much sense for him to go there.

But as you said, the price plus the fact that Danny Ainge and Austin Ainge are the ones who are negotiating this and they're notorious for, particularly Danny, notorious for having his price and not budgeting from it until a team gets there.

And we don't even know if he likes Jaden Ivey.

If he doesn't like Jaden Ivey, then there's nothing to talk about.

Plus the prospect of paying Jaden Ivey immediately.

Who they almost beat without Beef Stew, without Ivy.

Of course, the Knicks made some moves, but... Yeah, true.

I have not seen him comment on it beyond the... I love Utah.

I love being here.

He's happy there.

He's happy with his family there.

I just think coming off of Eurobasket, being super competitive, being a guy who has never played in the playoffs...

At some point... Is that true?
