Like I'm really worried about them.

Yeah, that's what it feels like, the first half of this. So I don't know if I just did a good Lakers. Was that a positive Lakers segment or a negative one? I think it was positive. Here's, I think, the other part of the story of just where we're at roster-wise and how much talent there is in this league. I was doing the top 100 for the Ringer last night, and I was looking at different rotations.

Portland stinks. And yet, you're like, look at all this depth.

No, but there's just teams where I'm writing down going like this is their fifth or sixth guy. They're not even good. Like this team isn't isn't any good. And there's like, I don't know, two or four guys I kind of like on this team. It just feels very different from 20 years ago where you were like, that's their third option. Like this is an NBA team's third option. Like this team's doomed.

Yeah. I still wonder like if it ends up becoming this moment where you can dictate all these things or if the actual value of the picks is diminished, you know, where it

the first thought when you tweeted that out was like look at all these teams that are going to be controlling the first round it's 14 picks for the other 24 teams but there could be another side of it where the team that wants a pick's like well i don't have to i don't have to pay your price i'll just call the other team because you can't like oklahoma city can't keep drafting this many guys especially as they start making more and more commitments financially here um
