Yes. But again, Auntie Talk, I do think there is something to be said about sisterhood, working your way through a program. Having a fan base that loves you over the course of years, I feel like my experience built a lot of character in me. And there were other things that provided value that weren't necessarily in monetary value and later became monetary value anyway.

Sometimes it's not immediate dollars, but... You know, not everybody's going to get to be Haley Van Lith. And even Haley Van Lith, as a case study, almost didn't have the Cinderella ending. Like, LSU, her transfer from Louisville to LSU, it was okay. It was mid. But it worked out at TCU for her, and she did elevate her draft stock. But boy, you know, that could have went a lot of ways.

And so there's not every, all of these people in that transfer portal you mentioned, Logan, not all of them are going to be Cinderella.

More than a great season, Angel. Kennedy came off of a career season in Chicago and then went to China and was the league MVP. Do you know she's only 26 years old? So Kennedy is not even young. She's not even in her prime yet. Very, very talented. This is clearly not a basketball issue with Kennedy. It's very much like concerns about, to use quotes, like her impact on a locker room.

And so I think what Kennedy needs to demonstrate is maturity, is leadership, is growth. And I actually think the opportunity to play in Mexico gives her the chance to do just that. They already know she can hoop.

Yes. I was surprised and saddened for her that apparently there was no training camp offer that came after her delivering such a great year. And so I'm very hopeful that she's able to demonstrate that and have an opportunity again. As somebody who's played in the WNBA, do you think it's surprising or overstated the amount of... Like, she's getting penalized.

Like, the amount of attention on what she might do in a locker room versus the clear talent that she has. Are you surprised by this?

There's a team that needs it. There's a team that needs the talent. But, you know, I think would you, as a GM, would you prefer peace in your locker room over her talent? Is it worth it?

I'm not even trying to say that, and no player as an adult, no adult needs to be babysat, but you mentioned Yvette.

Also, maybe a team I think about hiring, Teresa Weatherspoon, who as a coach was able to get the best out of Kennedy, and not only just be there for Kennedy, so many players, especially during Unrivaled that I've spoken to that have played for a spoon, speak about running through a wall for her. D'Erica Hamby, Jordan Canada, obviously Angel Reese.

So, you know, hey, look, maybe that's, if you're thinking about bringing in Kennedy, maybe it's also a Teresa Weatherspoon move.
