I think – I mean I'm with you. If you had told me that on March 3rd when we're recording this, they would be closer to the play-in than they were to any realistic chance at landing Cooper flag, which was absolutely their goal going into the season, was to be with the Charlottes and the Washingtons and the Utahs.

They just have too many good basketball players, I think, to be able to do that. And it's not just, you know, some of the veterans that a lot of people think they should have traded at the deadline, like the Anthony Simonses and the Jeremy Grants.

It's a lot of their young guys that are the guys that they're building around long term, whether that's, you know, Denny Avdia, who they traded for over the summer, or Tumani Kamara, or...

scoot henderson who's really started to put it together the last couple of months after what was a pretty rough rookie season and first part of this season he started to really i think turn a corner in a way that i i know people in the organization think he's made some real steps and then you know the shade and sharp thing has been kind of up and down but he's been playing really well on this road trip so it's the young guys that are driving a lot of these wins

And I think that's the thing that the organization is looking at and saying, you know, this is really encouraging that like it's not just they're winning a bunch of games because they have some veterans who are probably not going to be here long term. But yeah. And so it's messing with their lottery odds. It's not really that type of thing going on.
