And, you know, sometimes it's hard for a fan to watch, you know,

It's easy with Trey.

It's hard with other players to watch them and their brilliance and all that you love them for and then wrap your mind around like, yeah, but other people might not like playing with him like that.

it's the it's a hard thing like because we are fascinated with the star itself and all the cool shit that they do and then sometimes you got the player you know or the the teammates like yeah man but like we're being marginalized in this like this isn't exactly fun for us um and that sucks like so i just hate it for him i don't think you were too harsh on him but that sucks

I just have a hope for him that this is like an inflection point of sorts, like, and he can, you know, we talk about this.

Howard, when you said that he was 27 years old, that in and of itself just blew me away.

Like, it just feels like, it feels like he's older than that.

So to hear, you know, from you that he's just approaching what we consider a prime, my hope is that he has that past your prime moment.

Where guys, we often talk about guys having to come to grips with, hey man, I might have to change what I have historically done to fit into a championship culture.

Or in some cases, it's just even to stay in the league at times.

That won't be Trey Young's situation.

But there could be a really nice chapter two.

But it's going to take a little bit of change.

And to your point, it's going to take some work from him.

But the first part of that work is self-eval, dude.

And just coming to grips with, hey, the way this has been working for me so far isn't the way it's going to work for me moving forward.

Unless...

your objective as a Trae Young is not to win championships.

Because if that's not what it is, and you just, you know, like you might say, hey dude, I just fucking like doing it like this.

This is what I'm going to do.
