Like you want to go fast.

You want to flex up.

You want to show, you know, your fan base that like you got some juice and like naturally, right?

And so when you come in and you're like, okay, let me tell you what we're going to do.

I know we got the All-Star game coming here this year, and we've been waiting on that.

What we're going to do is trade our two All-Stars.

Probably not a popular spot to be, right?

But you've got to have conviction.

You've got to have alignment.

And then, you know, you always start off with a retool, right?

We're just going to retool.

And then it gets to a point where you're seeing what a lot of teams are like, no, no, no, no.

If we're going to lay up,

in a weird way, like don't lay up in the water, you know, the water's 200 yards and we're going to get on a three, like, like we've got to, we've got to figure out how to, how to get out of this position and right or wrong.

And I think you saw this with San Antonio, the decisions become pretty easy to in the, in the top part of the draft.

Yeah.

Right.

You know, you're, you're, you're betting between some pretty amazing options there and,

Being in those draft rooms and being on the other side, it gets a lot more challenging.

It's challenging all the way across, but drafting eight and nine every year is a little harder.
