Joey and Jesse.

Joey was running the G League.

Jesse was running the... Basically becoming the head of the scouting department.

So Jesse was always the one more in the weeds on this stuff.

And his team.

His group, I should say, as well.

Like other people around him.

In the weeds.

And the Lakers...

historically been great.

Like their G league operations and it's got Nick Mazzella and under Joey, Joey was really good at kind of empowering some of these scouts, um, around them.

Like the G league historically for the past 10 years, you can see the G league results.

They don't, these guys don't always stay through right after they come up, but like they've had a lot of success with those guys.

Um,

So to answer your question, like, it didn't matter if other people were on board or not, right?

It was Lonzo.

It was going to be Lonzo.

It was very clear Lonzo.

Magic, like, went to, like, one of – I think two of his games in person, which for him was a big deal, right?

And to be fair, like, I know Lonzo hasn't panned out.
