We're going to take a look at it.
What do you think happens here?
Well, what makes that interesting is that, of course, Utah eating like the $500,000 fines and just what they're like, oh, fine us more.
We get the number two pick in the draft.
Obviously, they know DeBansa very well.
He went to BYU.
Ryan Smith is a big booster at BYU.
He was in high school, I think, for Utah Prep.
Yeah, for at least a year.
And so there was this immediate like, oh, my God, would the Jazz make like a godfather offer to the Wizards to move up one spot in the draft and guarantee that the Bansa is there?
My very early sense from talking to people around the league last night all over the league was like, I don't think Utah is going to operate like that.
I don't think they're going to be reckless just to get that guy in the door.
If he falls to them, great.
If they really want him and they're getting just held hostage,
It's a tough decision.
I mean, it's very early, but they did not seem to me like, oh, we're desperate to go get this.
Not that they're going to seem like that anyway, but I think they're just going to be happy to take who's ever there.
The other thing with Utah is Carlos Boozer works for the Jazz in the front office and Cam Boozer is going to be.
in conversation for, you know, a top three, top four pick.
That's another fun little variable.
