First of all, Dave, I got to rib you a little bit, my friend. Like, man, how many times have we said on paper, like, this is a perfect fit and it's going to be great. And the Lakers famously had the Sports Illustrated cover, like, this is going to be fun with Dwight Howard and Steve Nash and Kobe and all that. So I'm going to reserve judgment on paper.

It looks good. Luka's coming off a calf injury. You know, I think his general health obviously has been a hot topic lately. Mark Williams, I like the addition. Some health concerns with him that, you know, people have obviously talked about his struggles on that front. But yeah, the roster looks fantastic. I love, absolutely love Luka.

what i've been hearing and i have not been to la since the trade but um from here hearing from lebron about his headspace in relation to luca um that clip from the game the other night with luca on the bench when lebron just goes beast mode through the lane and finishes and one looks at luca and says basically this is what we do you know like that sort of Chemistry could be a lot of fun to watch.

So I'm still a little bit in shock that this deal went down. To your question about getting Williams, you know, before the trade, Lakers obviously already on the hunt for a big – at that time it was to satisfy – well, I shouldn't say that. We didn't know at that time. We thought it was to satisfy Anthony Davis' desire to play at the four spot.

But considering the Luka discussion dates all the way back to February 7th, that was not the case. They had talks with Houston about Steven Adams. No deal gets close there, just not enough on the table. We heard names like Robert Williams out of Portland. Jonas Valanciunas, although I, you know, pre-deadline or pre-Luka trade, been told that he was too kind of plotting for their preference.

So once you get Luka, then, you know, I would love to have seen their list. And who knows, maybe I could still track it down. The list of lob prets and these types of players, because, you know, Luka's skill set is so unique and so dynamic that, you know, you knew what kind of player you wanted.

You know, defensively, some concerns here, but offensively, I think a wonderful fit in the vein of Derek Lively and Daniel Gafford. You know, we've seen how much damage Luka can do with guys like that. So, you know, kind of like the Warriors, I'm fired up to see this team too.

So I wasn't on board with this, but the most recent obvious one that has become an absolute disaster is Paul George going to Philly. Yep. Like when Paul went to Philly, that was I think if we had a rotten tomatoes gauge, it'd be like a solid 80 percent, you know, like that. People were digging that move. One that I wasn't on, and this is the inverse of your question, Zena, is Kyrie to the Mavs.
