and and you have a a a retool it's not a rebuild it's a retool and it's trying to remain competitive which i'm sure is at the behest of owner bebek ranadive yeah um so in the here and now it's kind of mildly interesting de rosen levine sabonis monk at the point you know devin carter is interesting as he's finally playing the rookie um keegan murray you know in that lineup too but where is it all going because

The runway suddenly seems pretty short. Zach's going to be there a couple of years. DeMar, I've been told, is not going to get moved before the deadline. But how's DeMar feeling about this? He came to play with De'Aaron Fox. How's Sabonis feeling about this? How's Malik Monk, who collegeed with De'Aaron, right? The whole connection. Yeah. Although I will say, Malik's one of those dudes.

He got paid. He got paid. He had the ball in his hands, too, probably. He got paid and promoted. Right, right. I think Malik's fine. I just think they... I think...

Can't universally speak for everybody around the team, but there's a strong sense that there's a decline in faith in the organization's kind of, you know, strategy and soundness, if you will, that could mean that a bunch of these pieces are kind of quietly, you know, Looking off in the distance going, okay, this is probably not a long-term deal. Where am I going to go next?

So the biggest thing that is, again, by myself and others, probably a little underreported, is the contract mechanics that played a part here. By getting traded now, De'Aaron can now extend with the Spurs in July. I believe it's in July. It's six months from the trade. Right, right. If it waited until the summertime... He's got to wait until January. Now, I don't know.

I don't know if that moves the needle for you guys because it's like, all right, but if you know you're going to do it eventually, what's the rush? I think why do it now? And that was probably the number two reason. Number one reason would probably be because the level of urgency on the king side and the level of uncomfortableness within their locker room.

was such that you would obviously have to fear them going somewhere else with him. Now, yes, there are reports that Clutch told other teams, represents Fox, that they told other teams to stay away and pursue him at their own peril. But if you're the Spurs and you think you do have the type of partnership that you want with Fox and Wemby and your organization,
