And now I think that we're going to start realizing I've made the, the players are going to start realizing like, There's just not enough places to even compete for your services. Sometimes I even look at the Harden deal with the Clippers, and it's worked for him. They needed him. They needed his usage. You know he's going to put up numbers.

We were like, man, that's a big number for somebody that I wonder how much competition there was for. Maybe that's a sign of history not shifting the way maybe I'm expecting it to. Maybe it happens with Butler or whatever. When I think about the Beal part of it, it's super easy to be like, what is wrong with you guys? You should have never, ever done it. But the

asset math is hard for a team to ignore. We're literally getting Bradley Beal for free, except for what you have to pay him. The problem is it needed to work out in a basketball sense. You needed him to be excited about it. And he's just not that guy. I don't even know who would debate the other side of this.

And I think the scary thing for Phoenix is, all right, you want to bring him off the bench. You want to maybe make it a little uncomfortable for him to become a little bit more open to waving the no trade clause to a couple of different teams. This is a dude that sat around on the Wizards bench that was more than happy getting his 30 points, losing every night.

And then he had nights where he would be just sitting by himself, kind of shaking his head. kind of feeling like he was motherfucking the entire experience, and yet waiting to get his five-year extension. So I don't think that Beal can be shamed. He's already shown us when he was with the Wizards, like, hey, you think me coming off the bench in Phoenix is bad? I'll do this. Don't worry about me.

I'm not going to do anything that you guys... The basketball part of it needed to be what we think the best version of him can be, and it just isn't.

Yeah, I wonder if we'll see a shift to that, though, where it started going from, I mean, however far back in the timeline you want to go, you wait until you're a free agent, everybody's stockpiling all of their cap space. This is going to be really exciting. And then the player's just like, what's the point? Just take the extension and ask for the trade later.
