That ball, stay in there, ball.

We don't want you to come out.

But anyway, we'll see what happens next year.

You are correct that the Clippers are indisputably, I think, the biggest, other than the Wizards, I guess.

The Clippers, to come out with the highest possible pick that they could have gotten, five.

And you can tell me about how big the cliff is after four.

And the double win of not being embarrassed by having Oklahoma City move up with their pick.

I was sitting behind Rassab Desai, who was the Clippers representative in the drawing room, literally right behind him.

His back was right in front of me.

And the sigh of relief, like it was, it was so visible.

Like his shoulders went like, Oh, when the Chicago pick came up and then the lottery is over.

And so he stands up and he turns around and he has this look on his face.

Like, um,

he looked like someone who had been like acquitted at trial facing life in prison, just like he had a new lease on life.

And then he went over and he had a nice handshake bro hug with Ted Wu, the Pacers guy.

And I was like, oh, that's such a nice moment of NBA harmony.

You guys aren't fighting.

You guys aren't mad at each other, but an unbelievable win for them.

And a new lease on life, I guess, for the Clippers, assuming they get to keep that pick.

Did you see the Clippers tweet updating the terms of the trade with the Pacers?
