It's so good.
But there is this โ
Last week on Bill's Pod, he sort of posited this like at some point Oklahoma City, who I think is 12th in this draft, is going to have to consolidate players and picks because they just have too many players who are going to get too expensive and too many picks.
They can't even roster all their picks.
Would this be the year with this kind of top four where Oklahoma City just goes to the Bulls or the Grizzlies and says A.J.
Mitchell plus โ
rotation player X plus number 12 plus three future first round picks to get into the top four.
And one GM told me last night talking about this like.
There is a point at which you just can't say no, where they just put so much in the kitty that you have to consider saying yes.
I have no idea what Oklahoma City is going to do.
I haven't talked to anybody there about their plans.
They are notoriously tight lipped about it.
But I will say teams toward the top of the draft are expecting those kind of calls, whether they come or not.
What do you think will and should happen there?
The future picks, like the people who are looking at the 2028 draft, 2029 draft, like this is what you have to be looking at when you make a decision like this.
It's interesting.
You know, they have other levers to pull.
Right.
Like they have the Dort contract.
They have the Hartenstein contract.
