That's a major sticking point.

It feels like the Hawks are front and center right now.

And, you know, we'll see if some actually pops there, because from there, I don't know how robust the market is.

You know, I've written about the Warriors where, you know, 80s agent Rich Paul, you

Christian Clark, our Mavericks beat writer, reported this the other day, that he's encouraged the Mavericks to be more aggressive assessing the market.

You know, AD's camp does not believe that there's an extension waiting for him this summer, even though the Mavs have kind of signaled that maybe there is.

Nobody really believes them.

So, you know, the Warriors thing, though, has obstacles of its own.

Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green, two players the Warriors do not want to get rid of.

You can't really do an AD deal without moving one of those guys.

So for me right now, it's a matter of saying, is the Atlanta thing going to come together in the next week or so?

Man, I feel like we got most of them.

Yeah, I mean...

This is just speculation.

New Orleans continues to be a bit of a mystery spot because there's been a lot of focus on Trey Murphy III and Herb Jones.

you know, you can get them, but it's for a massive price tag that it doesn't seem like anybody's in that, uh, stratosphere in terms of meeting their demands, you know, and that herb is, is kind of virtually untouchable.

It seems like, and who knows, we'll see.

But I continue to just wonder, and this is just me is like, of all the big names that you felt like were gettable, the, the John Moran's, the LaMelo balls, the Trey Young's, the Anthony Davis's, like, where are we at with Zion Williamson?

You know, um,
