I'm hanging in there.

So we that's sad.

First of all, second of all, we had the.

But it's on brand.

You have to.

It is on brand.

We had a sort of last hurrah for the tankers last night for in some cases, Sacramento and Brooklyn.

I just want to send my condolences to all of your fans.

It's just, it's a rough go for, for you guys in the lottery, but Washington egregiously tanks, they get the number one pick Utah egregiously tanks.

They get the number two pick and then two sort of middle ground tankers, a different species of tanker, the Grizzlies and the bulls move up to three and four.

And the irony of this is, I think we're like in year eight of the revised semi-flattened lottery odds.

And again,

Every time there would be a wild jump in this new system, like the Hawks had a three percent chance of getting research and they'd moved all the way up.

Cooper flag.

Obviously, Dallas had like a one point something percent chance.

They move all the way up.

We've seen teams with the very worst records pick fifth, you know, multiple times.

There was this immediate outcry of like, what have we wrought?

We have benefited.

It's so hard now for the worst teams are getting punished and these mediocre teams are getting moved up.
