Maybe they can catch up here a little bit, but yeah, tough times.

I don't have a great sense of what his frustrations are schematically. The only thought I had there is that if you go back to last year when Nick Nurse was new on the job, Nick wasted very little time making it clear that he was going to try to push Joel to be at his best. You remember the little subplot about how the Sixers decided to go have training camp all the way in Fort Collins, Colorado,

by all accounts and I was actually there there was like a little passive aggressiveness there where it was like oh by the way Mr. Jokic the guy who is a champion and keeps winning that MVP award over you is right down the road and the guy that at the time people you know kind of felt like Joel was ducking so Nick

has shown this willingness to even get, kind of needle his guy a little bit to get him to that next level. So I think there's a natural friction at times between them. And even friction is probably the wrong word, but attention. Beyond that, I just think that the physical stuff remains very confusing to me.

I was in France watching Joel, obviously had some games where he didn't look great, finished very strong. But talking to Team USA people, the more important thing is he didn't miss a practice. He didn't miss a shoot around. He didn't miss a game. If he didn't play, it was because Steve Kerr chose for him not to play. So to go from that,

to left knee injury management being such a massive story this season, it feels like he had some kind of a setback in between there, because he just obviously doesn't look like himself.

No, that's all on point, Dave. And I feel like to add to it, this is one of those stories for me that once it comes out, I feel like within the past 24 hours in my circles and just media, it's almost like we're kind of taking some blunt of criticism from people around the league who are, I'll just be totally honest with you, who are saying, man, you guys have been going easy on him for years.

Like this has been happening for years. It's kind of an open secret situation. that some of these frustrations were there. And if you look at Philly and the question of could the coach or the GM be in trouble, I would probably contextualize it and say, if you go back, I forget the exact number, but Joel has had a number of GMs, a number of coaches during his tenure. I think ownership-wise,
