I just think that they're going to, if they add somebody to the buyout, it's going to be somebody on the bigger, like a big, maybe a four, but somebody who compliments these other players.

And I say, if we go back and look at that trade deadline, Kobe White Day, right?

Like everybody's going with Reed Mania right now.

This doesn't happen if you had brought somebody in who plays another point guard.

And that's why we were saying all along, they're not going to bring somebody in who's going to play ahead of a man or ahead of a read.

I'm going to say read mainly, right?

Nobody's playing ahead of a man as far as they're concerned.

But I'm saying read.

They want to develop read.

They believe in read.

I don't know where this they don't believe in read stuff comes from.

Look at Jokic's minutes, how he came up the league.

Look at Jalen Johnson.

He was in the G League his first year.

This is what development looks like.

You're not going to play 35 minutes a night unless you're in a tanking team like Jalen and Jabari right off the bat.

They're going to just hand them all the minutes because there's nothing in front of them.

And so this is a win-now team.

Reed's developing.

They would want to find somebody who sets good screens for Reed, who basically can compliment and highlight Reed or other players, Shangoon, Katie, somebody like that.
