Like, well, the team was so good around him that why did we all get this wrong?

First of all, it's two games.

I think that's a pretty banal argument.

And the 82-game sample size, which is what actually applies here, of all these guys missed lots of games, including Jalen Williams, missed lots of games.

And the numbers, they just didn't have a good offense with SGA on the floor.

And they were a regular team with SGA off the floor and a crazy elite team with SGA on the floor.

I just think it's a little crazy that this becomes an MVP referendum, but that's neither here nor there.

Neither here nor there.

Chicago, I'm really excited for the Bulls.

I'm a little worried that their fans are getting too excited and are setting themselves up for disappointment again because we've seen the Bulls roll over the front office once or twice and it hasn't changed anything.

But just home run outcome for them moving up to four.

They were ecstatic last night.

If I were them, I'm just keeping the pick, getting another great young player in the door.

Do you have Caleb Wilson penciled in there?

Is that the guy?

Do you think Peyton Watson is a Bryson Graham type of player?

Because that's, you know, Peyton Watson, who I think the Nuggets really want to retain.

They'll have to do some financial gymnastics and get off a contract to do it unless the Cronkies want to do the unthinkable and pay a big luxury tax bill again.

He's been linked to the Lakers more than anyone.

The Lakers have like quietly kind of a lot of decisions to make with Reeves.
