So, like, I am a professional in this.

And so I'll just say again, I can't guarantee you John Morant will go somewhere and be a better version of himself.

But there's a chance that his life is so miserable there in Memphis that he just can't get right.

Yeah, I mean, obviously, you're not going to treat your role guys like you treat your stars, right?

I mean, that's not real world.

I do think that most NBA teams...

if you've been a member of their franchise and their brotherhood, have an open-door type of policy as long as it didn't end terribly with them.

Where, you know, if you want to come back, come to a game, be around and stuff like that, I think that most of them are amenable to that.

I told you guys, like, the Sixers, the 0-1 team, I'm getting texts right now about

whether or not I'm going to be in Philly to kind of celebrate that and stuff like that.

And that's, and that's fun.

And I meant nothing, you know, like I was the low man on the totem pole at that time.

So teams typically will look out for you as far as their stars go.

You want those guys around as much as possible.

It is, it is great for, for culture.

It's great for optics.

It's, it's within the building team wise.

It's,

as important, I would say, maybe slightly less for fans.

Like they are the people that a lot of those fans grew up on, the reason why they're fans of your team, the reason why they're ticket holders and season ticket holders now, seeing them, having access to them, having them around your building is really, really important.
