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.

I thought they were crazy. Yeah, that's a good point. And it's worked out. So our batting average is not great on that front, and it goes back to the fact that you just have to see it. So I don't know if any other examples come to mind for you guys, but my general rule โ Every year we do preseason predictions, right? And I just have it in my head.

If the majority of this team has not played together before, I don't care how good it looks on paper. I'm not handicapping them as a West champion or East champion, whatever. I've got to get eyes on it first.

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.
