You have this energy right now where, look at a guy like James Harden.

You do kind of wonder, okay, if he can land this plane and get to Cleveland,

how does that potentially impact how a guy like lebron sees the homecoming you know um i've had people talk about the warriors janice scenario where it's like if the warriors got janice and you got steph and janice together then the energy probably shifts for a guy like lebron towards the warriors you know and i don't know exactly how the warriors see that but it's kind of like like old heads unite type deal you know like finding a

a final chapter.

Kind of like the Olympics, right?

Yeah.

I mean, James wasn't there, but yeah, the Steph and LeBron thing.

And so we'll see.

But I mean, we know that players on the one hand, even the top superstars, they have only so much control and power, but they're going to exert every bit that they have.

And Dave, again, you hit on it a minute ago.

We try our best to tell all the stories of what's happening behind the scenes, but I would love to know more about it.

Like, who's James on the phone with?

Who's Bron on the phone with?

Who's Donovan talking to?

Quick aside, you got the sneaker game is always part of this whole ecosystem.

You got the Donovan Mitchell, James Harden, Adidas connection that is worth highlighting.

Yeah.

I mean, most people...

almost everybody i've talked to around the league thinks it's past the deadline and it's into the summer but the major qualifier there is that all of those people like myself are flying blind when it comes to exactly like like we need to know what bucks ownership is telling john horst um the the bucks gm in terms of doing it now versus later because that's the the stuff that they're keeping close to the vest

for obvious reasons.
