And New Orleans was a version of that. But they just, you know, they got decimated by injuries. The Daniels trade is really, really rough. You know, and maybe it made sense because they had Herb Jones and they had Trey Murphy. But they're in this weird spot that happens sometimes where you have a lot of assets, but the assets don't make sense together, right? And what do you do at that point?

Well, you keep your fingers crossed that Zion's going to play. Well, there's no more unreliable playing risk in the league other than Joel Embiid. And they kind of tied themselves to him. And combined with the Danos trade, that was it for Griffin. But you go back. Rossell has always talked about this. You go back and look at all the drafts they've made, the drafts.

They've drafted probably as well as any team in the league. Misi is going to be a good pick.

And then Daniels, they got at nine. That came from the Lakers trade. But the big one, the big... carrot in that trade was like, we're going to be able to have this pick in 24, 25. LeBron will be gone by then. Nobody's played that long. The Lakers are going to be irrelevant. So then they have the choice last year to keep it or not. They roll it over, which I think was the right move.

It's like, I thought the Lakers, I didn't think they were going to be a playoff team this year. And if David, if they hadn't made that Luca trade and Davis had gotten hurt, like he did midway through the season, I don't think that would have been a playoff team, but I think the bets were right. And it just didn't work out. And then the Lakers get Luka Doncic.

And now, you know, they're the third seed. So you had this pick that you were like, this would be one of the best parts of the Davis trade. what's it going to be like 23rd?

like really legitimately critical about them, about big picture. How are they handled? Why are so many guys on the team getting hurt? But then also you look at stuff like the Trey Murphy extension last year, where they don't do it when they should have done it. So then this happens over and over again with any NBA player who's eligible for an extension.

Dame Lillard openly talked about it because he was worried he was going to get traded. He didn't want to get hurt, so he didn't work out during the summer. If you don't take care of these guys, then they don't work out over the summer. And then they come in and something will happen, right? Murphy got hurt in the first part of the season because he wasn't working out over the summer.
