It's like Minnesota a couple years ago. They get Rudy Gobert. We all do the math and we're like, oh, this is going to be a top five defense no matter what. But it took them a year to figure it out. This is the argument here for making the trade at the deadline.

Versus something that's going to be available in the summer, in my opinion, because they get the next few months to figure all this stuff out. And they already got a jumpstart on building this team around Luca by picking up Mark Williams. And I think the LeBron and Luca thing is going to be, I think it's going to work. I'm not worried about those two guys working on the offensive end.

Can I jump in before we move on? I just to add to the LeBron discussion, I think it's worth noting. And, you know, we'll see how this ages if it holds up OK.

I'm now of the opinion that the LeBron Luca thing is probably going to be awesome because partly because, and I'm talking on the court, but also just, I mean, my goodness, you can't ask for a better fit with Luca and all the conditioning and health concerns. Go put him next to the guy who is the best of all time at taking care of his body.

And also LeBron and his family love living in LA so much that, I think if he got sideways in this situation and it turned sour when it comes to his part in Laker land, then he might end up having to retire somewhere else. And I think that that is enough to make him say, you know what? I'm reading the room. Let's go. I'm going to be the Luca whisperer and try to make the most of this. I love it.

He's going to be Yoda. Is that what you're saying, LeBron? I'm like eight years old, but yeah. He's going to be Yoda. Let's see. The Cavs, they pick up DeAndre Hunter. They're already a championship contender. I think this solidifies that in my book. How do you feel about that move? How did they pull that off?
