So, Kingun playing better, I guess, makes it less likely that you pursue a move such as a possible Yana's trade.

But that was really far down the pecking order of outcomes, at least as far as my eyes looking at it.

Beyond that, I do think that Shingun playing better and looking better going into the offseason maybe makes you look at, you know, if the chemistry is totally not there.

And, you know, I think there was some overreaction to it, but that clip with Ari Eason...

It struck me as just a tiny bit of shade towards KD.

I know Shang-Goon's not a native English speaker, right?

But it didn't seem like they were fully, you know, it doesn't seem to me like they're fully a cohesive unit.

Obviously, you can grab whatever highlights you want out of the games.

And there are moments where it looks like they are.

But it might have impact going into the offseason if you want to retool around the core without KD and you want to spend assets with KD or try to kind of reorganize the team like that if you believe that what...

kind of zap the mojo out of this team was in part at least KVR.

If you don't think that those relationships are mendable or if you think that they're just, you know, kind of trying to weather the storm until the offseason comes.

I do think that Sengun playing better makes it more likely that they may pursue a different type of team building approach.

But as I said before, you know, just running it back with Fred being back

Potentially with a better Dorian Finney-Smith, although I would advocate for a change there.

It just seems like it hasn't worked out.

And Steven Adams being back is the most likely scenario.

I think, you know, this week we've seen a lot of reports about Houston wanting to trade for Giannis and pressing hard to trade for Giannis.

You know, obviously we're not in the room, but we hear things.

And I don't think that that's...
