I was totally fine with it.

I actually liked it.

When we got him, you and I both said, not my money.

But you know it's a risk.

It's like...

Here's what it's like.

If you go to the poker table with $1,000, if you've got it to spend, go.

I'm not saying it's wrong for you to go, but you can't then go play poker and then go, I got unlucky and lost $1,000 because I played poker.

No, you made the choice to go do something risky.

That choice is perfectly valid, but you made it.

Same thing.

You made a choice to get a risky player.

Now, what is bad luck is if you walk down the street and somebody just takes your wallet and takes $1,000.

I kind of think that's what happened with Jalen Lowe.

He's got his wallet taken.

That's bad luck.

So for Mark Pope, it's like he had $2,000, 1,000 of it got stolen out of his pocket, and the other 1,000 he went and played poker with, and he ended up with no money.

Yeah, and I liked the addition of Quaintance, but also knew it's not a certainty, but it's worth the risk.

It just didn't pay out.

I mean, he tore his ACL in February and committed in April.
