I feel like at least you know the teams that are going to have urgency around buying, and by and large for the teams that are in it, they're going to do something.

So you at least have knowing that.

I think in the offseason, sometimes the conversations are, hey, we have these six options available to us.

Yours could be one of them, but we may be able to do other things, and they may just disappear on you.

you know, want your player maybe talking about making a trade and then they just go away.

And that's where I find that a little bit more challenging in the offseason.

And so, yeah, there's there's more teams involved, potential teams involved in the offseason.

So you have you have a wider pond efficient in terms of, you know, if there's however many teams are out of it at the deadline 10.

Yeah.

So now you're just dealing with two thirds of the league instead of maybe almost all the league.

I mean, the league is probably top to bottom as competitive as it's ever been.
