Paulo Alves

you know, that everything is sunshine and roses.

No, I mean, to this point, the DFS signing hasn't worked out.

And the fact that it hardcaps you at the first apron is why you couldn't use the injury exception you got for Fred.

So yeah, you can question Rafael Stone if you want.

I'm just saying it's not as simple as just cut bait as soon as possible and get a warm body.

No, at least if you go into the summer, you do have some trade optionality.

And by the way, kudos to Tillman Fertitta for being willing to pay the luxury tax on that as well.

And he's played off of other stars in the past.

We know the roles he's had on those Golden State teams.

That's it.

So I think playing alongside KD and Shingun, he would be a good fit in a complementary role.

He's the type of guy that's not going to look good on a rebuilding team.

By the way, question for either of you.

Two-way players, are they eligible for the playoffs if they're on a two-way contract?

I think they are.

Well, the reason I bring it up, and if someone in the chat wants to answer that question, Google it for us, because I'm commenting live.

The reason I ask, people want a point guard, and I understand why, but

theoretically, you can use J.D.

Davison, who's already on your roster in that role, and use the open roster spot and your one buyout slot that you have room for under the first apron to sign a Kavon Looney, to sign a third big to get you back to the formula when it was, you know, Shingun, Steven, and Clint.

Not that Looney's going to be Steven, but...
