And it was interesting to me just talking to him about the different organizations.
The kid really wanted to learn.
He was very interested in learning about the cities and the teams and everything like that.
So I really enjoyed my time with him there.
Yeah, and I think for us, I kind of took the lead on the market research aspect of it, right?
Whether it was looking at comps, percentage of the cap, as well as looking at equivalent value of a contract done up to about 10 years ago to now, including future, right?
What have guys signed for and what are they going to be getting in later years?
The other big thing I was looking at was the cap going up.
Obviously, COVID hit and there was a flat cap, and now we're seeing the boom after that.
Um, and it was at this time we were trying to wrap our heads around these numbers.
Like for example, um, from the 2023 to 24 season to the 2028, 29 season, we're going to see around a 40% increase in cap.
Like those are astronomical numbers.
Um, and we just didn't want to jump on something right away.
I think also, really quickly for us, we were still trying to figure out what Leo was as a player.
He was 20 at the time, then had turned 21, so...
I'm still seeing that growth from him throughout the whole year to add us a little bit hesitant to a longer term deal.
Which was great.
Yeah, I think what really helped us with that too is Leo didn't waver either, right?
Like even he got hurt, he was injured for a little bit, but he was very, you know, cool, calm, collected through the whole thing, which obviously makes our job a lot easier.
For me, honestly, the numbers really didn't change that much just because nothing had really gotten done at that point in terms of the big players that we were looking at.
