And I do think this is more...

of the corny side, but probably also genuine is like, this is a, not even a fading dynasty.

It's a dead dynasty contending, but it's a proud group with four rings, you know, with six finals appearances.

And they, they, you know,

If they can get into the playoff party, they're going to do it.

You don't roll over.

It's a very different landscape.

Like I mentioned, the Giannis situation, the reason that that's uncomfortable to me is that you have a similar partnership between player and organization in terms of length.

Like Giannis is the third longest tenured player with...

with an organization in the league, I believe, behind Steph and Draymond.

But now that they are very seriously considering moving him, then he goes from being a player to being an asset, which is not what an elite player would want at this stage.

So that's why I like what the Warriors are doing, and I like the fact that if Steph wants to play, they're going to have him play.

Yeah, I mean, the sense that I've gotten from talking to people around the league is that, you know, in terms of, you know, Jaden and how it's spoken, he'd become about his religion and about some of his more extreme views.

And honestly, we can cut to the chase.

The one that that is just not going to work if you're in the NBA, it's not going to work if you're in any professional setting is once you are incredibly discriminatory towards any individual group, it's just not tolerated in a workplace.

Right.

So his choice to.

Be very critical of the league's alliance with the gay community and to highlight Pride Month.

And I mean, we talk about and this is the unofficial stuff.

You know, then you start pulling other superstars into the conversation like you did with Steph Curry and then calling his faith into question.
