What do we think the ceiling is on that?

Is taking the ball and some of the playmaking that you would want him to maybe grow in the space of out of his hands really stalling his ability to develop into that star-level ball-in-hand offensive player?

I don't necessarily think so.

And I think James Harden is a table setter.

And when you've got that type of length, that type of athleticism, and

as James Harden and Donovan Mitchell kind of do their thing, you can operate off of that.

I don't necessarily see it as a negative for him, unless we're saying we firmly believe that his development is taking us to upper-level offensive ball-in-hand type of player.

And quite frankly, I personally just don't see that.

As far as... I had a question for you guys.

This is the down-the-road of it all, because I agree with you, but I kind of thought...

as I was watching it, and I told you where my vote would be for LeBron next year, I don't know cap-wise what that looks like, but could you see a world where it was Donovan, James, LeBron for LeBron's swan song in Cleveland?

But he doesn't do that that much anymore.

He's like the role man on picking roles and shit now.

He's really transitioned pretty... Yeah, sorry, Howard, but keep going.

I don't have a great answer for that, so I'll answer it in the way my brain's processed kind of the question a little bit.

To Howard's point, I generally think that if you are a player, which I was, that was never going to be primary, you benefit from having more playmakers on the floor, provided those playmakers are unselfish and willing to give you the ball when you're open.

that only helps them, right?

Because now your defender's got to stay home, creates more space for them, right?

So you're adding another playmaker, which I would say unlocks everybody.

Like, I think that's good for everyone.
