Are you then going in trading for a PD who is not at Larkin's level right now?

A couple years younger, but not at Larkin's level.

And what if he's not a first-line center?

Like, is that a move you make?

If I'm Detroit, like, honestly, I think they've missed their boat on trying to, like, be all-in on winning now if Larkin wants out.

They're going to have to be patient again.

Why would that impact if you weren't in on Petey in the first place?

But what I do wonder about is, if you're Detroit, is there a swap with St.

Louis for Robert Thomas?

Or do you get the assets for Larkin, then go and make the Robert Thomas trade, for instance?

Like, that to me is the only way you can get a little bit younger, but ensure you're getting a top-line center back in return.

Petey fits the mold, you know.

It's just that part of it, especially for a GM who's been so risk-averse.

I think it's... I mean, I do think it's starting to wear somewhat thin.

You can't miss the playoffs eight years in a row and people are like, hey, everything's cool.

I think that's an excellent point.

Apparently he does.

But I think if I think the most prudent thing to do right now would be to be patient.

Like if you're if you're getting to the point where Larkin wants out.

But is that the posture of the organization?
