I was going through the other offensive options there, and you're like, Luka dragged this team. And I do think there are conference finals appearances that can be fool's gold and maybe gets a team thinking about themselves in a way that they shouldn't be thinking about themselves.

Like, hey, you guys actually aren't that close, and you're not as good as you think you are, even though it says you're one of the Final Four teams still standing. But Luka getting to the finals, again, with a different roster, that quickly after getting to that Western Conference Finals appearance, like, tells me that you actually are close. And again, this isn't some empty stat guy.

This isn't just the most talented guy in the league that even with his deficiencies on defense, there wasn't enough happening negatively with his game that put a ceiling on who you were, where I think there's like five to seven other guys in the league where I'm like, oh, cool, he had 30 again. Yeah, I mean, let me know when they're out of the play-in.

And that's the part with Nico where it's very clear they were completely over him. And Windhorse, when he did his rant last year during the playoffs, it just, I mean, that was like vicious. He made a point today where he's like, you know what's crazy about that? He's like, nobody, or maybe I just saw the clip again. He's like, nobody from Dallas called me to defend their guy.

So I think what we're putting together here is that whatever the day-to-day Luka dynamic was, it was still so egregious to Nico and the rest of the group that they were willing to do something like this where on the outside you're going, you're complaining about this dude as the face of your franchise because you actually have team success.

Granted, not the title, but like real runs in recent seasons to point to is this guy is not somebody that gets in the way of a team success despite his flaws.

It was also a bad basketball matchup too, with like the way they would execute. So sorry, I interrupted, but keep going.
