I mentioned this because none of those guys are on the team. Yes. That's the thing. None of them. I just, and I've said this a couple of times. I remember it's being at summer league in 2019 after they traded AD draft Zion, who looks like he's going to be the next LeBron James. Yeah. And I remember seeing Griff at summer league and there was an aura emanating from him.
Everybody wanted to bend this guy's ears like, my God, Griff, he's done it. They are on their way. They got all these picks and their young guys are cost control and blah and this and there's so much versatility and oh my, New Orleans is it. And what's come of this AD trade? One frisky first round series.

And then the perils of the max contract era is that when you have your own guy and he's clearly one of your best players, there's a pressure to pay him a max deal, which he'll be in the same pay grade as guys that are just clearly much better. Bonafide All-Stars and Ingram and even Siakam, like these are high quality players. Are they max players? But the way the system is set up, like you...

We thought they were clearly going to be above playing range. Like they'd be in the six, maybe even five range. Their over-under was like 45 and a half. Yeah. So it is lower now. Like it is idiots on New Orleans coming into this year.

And it doesn't fit because it would have made sense basketball wise, which is just generally not what KD does. He doesn't do the basketball thing except for Golden State. Like that's been the only time that he put the thing on the floor first. And he didn't really care for the results in terms of his own personal happiness, as he said earlier.

This crazy owner, no picks. It's almost you fit the thing like a glove. Obviously, KD's good enough to do all the ball movement stuff, but that's not what Golden State would be asking him to do. They'd be asking him to be KD. Again, just get the ball and cook people, and Steph and everybody else will work around it.

But again, I can understand not wanting to go back and do the same thing and wanting to maybe โ If Phoenix isn't what you ultimately end up doing in terms of signing an extension with, exploring some different option that makes you a lot happier. And I think Phoenix's whole thing has always been with trading all these picks and this and the future's done.
