But history between Kyrie and A.D. And so as you look at that landscape, you again, I'm just going to keep it surface level here for the most part. But you look at Luca and he's not really part of that fabric. So the Mavericks have, you know, more experience.

No, I mean, you know, a little and I'm peeking on my phone so I can have all the pieces in front of me. I mean, a little peek behind the curtain the night before the trade went down. You know, I had hit up some folks about how I was hearing that that Zach might wind up in sack in this deal. Mm hmm. So that, that part of it, you know, ultimately happens.

And I, on that aspect, I will say, you know, in the here and the now, I think Zach's officially become an underrated player, you know, like there's metrics.

I mean, you can look at the metrics and like, and I know a lot of folks don't want to hear that word, but like the analytics and say, there's a discussion to be had that, you know, he's having a better year than De'Aaron and De'Aaron's having a pretty good year.

So the Levine part and the fact that his contract is not nearly as toxic now as it was a couple of years ago because the cap continues to spike. Right. That part I get. The pick return is a little bit deceiving because the, you know, you start with the 2025 first from Charlotte. That's going to be two seconds because it's protected 14. The 2027 Spurs first.

is like literally like, unless you just think De'Aaron's going to forget how to play basketball. That's going to be, that's going to be a late first. You know, the 2031 first is really good, but that just feels like a lifetime away. Yeah.

But that's a good, that's a really, really good asset, you know, and then you got a bunch of seconds, you know, it's going to probably again, probably wind up being five seconds. If that first turns into two seconds. Right. The bigger thing, if I was Joe Blow Kings fan, is like the return was okay.

Especially, I mean, you know, they, somebody joked, they should send flowers to, um, Nico Harrison because after the Luca AD trade, the Fox trade looks fine. Right. Right. But the problem I think now in terms of their planning is that, you know, you've got a front office and Monty McNair and Wes Wilcox that I do think are facing, you know, some peril in terms of their job security. Um,
