It definitely didn't feel, it didn't even have him first of all. And we're going to get into the, into a dome experience. They, I mean, it is what it is. They're people are learning how to get to the arena. It's logistically a much different task to get to Inglewood than it is downtown LA. You know, it's like people are trying to find the Clippers again. So you did have a lot of empty seats.

You didn't have a sellout crowd. And so you didn't have the intensity, but, You did have the creativity, though. You mentioned it, you know, the wall with the, you know, with the PJ PJ PG. Be careful before you think before you speak signs, that stuff turning around like choreographed, you know, anti PG stuff was a new twist. But but yeah, he he didn't have a lot of love waiting for him.

To the latter question, Zena, no. And we can get into the details there. They obviously, the Warriors situation was really the only substantive chance they had to get assets in return for Paul. They did have flirtations with other teams. Denver showed some interest. There was a Michael Porter Jr. scenario there that didn't really go very far.

The draft assets that the Clippers wanted back were way more than the Nuggets were willing to give up. So the Warriors situation is front and center. The way they describe it is that basically if the Warriors would have legitimately put Jonathan Kaminga and to a lesser degree, even Brandon Pajimski on the table, then maybe they go ahead and do it.

It was framed this way to me that, I mean, listen, it's been a little while since we had two teams kind of a little bit, you know, kind of chirping at each other in the media like we do with this story because the Warriors had some stuff to say about the Clippers when Our guy Anthony Slater had a good piece a couple weeks ago, and then there was some of that with my column.

The Clippers' view is this. They claim they were prepared and comfortable to do something with the Warriors to give them Paul George for maybe a quarter on the dollar, and they felt like the Warriors wanted Paul for a nickel on the dollar.

Now, in terms of just the idea of having Paul George in a Clippers jersey, I think some. I think a little bit. But they absolutely drew the line in the sand. And there's all these different scenarios. And I'm talking three-year deal, four-year deal, no trade, clauses, requests, all that stuff. But when it came to...
