You don't think it's coming.

You definitely don't see it coming.

And before you know it, it's too late.

And so before it becomes that, and hopefully it's not already that, find someone that you can put in your circle of people that will have the conversations that Howard was talking about.

Because both of them have misplayed that.

And listen, the person, I didn't know if you were getting to like, and I don't mean to hijack this, but

Maybe you guys could tell me if keeping it real went wrong, like who this would apply to in the conversation I'm about to have because there's a third person that falls into that category for me.

I've talked about him a lot.

It's John Morant, right?

Like you'll get you somebody in that circle.

Like I clearly, he hasn't found that person yet.

But like my question is, was who did keeping it real hurt more in that?

The Grizzlies who I thought should have moved him a while ago or him for still being stuck in fucking Memphis.

Yeah, the only reason I said keeping it real went wrong for them was because you did not have to hold, you could have done this before when it was, when there was a market.

I think in 2023.

Right.

The answer to that would have still been yes.

because he was still playing at a level, not for everybody, mind you, but there would still be teams, like in 2023, correct me if I'm wrong, that was like prime John Morant, right?

Like he was in his, that was prime John Morant.

Now we had the troubles and shit like that that you would have to get over as an organization.
