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.

But I would say that in the space that I've watched LeBron in recently,

James Harden might be, I mean, I don't know where you put him in the pantheon of pick and roll players, but of all time, like he's a, he's one of the highest level pick and roll players of all time.

If LeBron is now playing as a playmaker and finisher out of the role in a pick and roll.

Yeah.

I don't know what it could look like.

Like I haven't seen a large sample size of it, but I would, I would simply say that's, you have two of the best players of all time running pick and roll.

And one is, is now coming downhill at you.

I mean, you see the lobby call last night.

That's like out of the horns.
