Well, in the abject craziness of last night, a lot of other news actually has popped up here.

0:06.1

Let's start with the latest on the AD front. Reports coming in from Woj and Shams.

0:13.1

Number one, that Shams reporting that AD is focused on the Nix and Lakers as long-term destinations,

0:19.6

because he just wants to win, of course. That list narrowing from the four-team

0:25.0

list that he gave the Pell's in February, which featured the Nix Lakers, Clippers, and Milwaukee

0:30.4

Box of all teams. Box no longer here. And now, in addition to the Nix and Lakers, the Celtics,

0:39.6

and then the other two New York and L8 teams, the Nets and Clippers have been engaged with the Pell's,

0:46.1

Woj said that the Lakers are in the lead, whatever that means as of now in a TV appearance,

0:51.7

but I think that can change quickly. Griffin hasn't offered a firm timetable, but he has also

0:58.0

indicated to these teams that he prefers acquiring 2019 draft picks, be completed prior to the June

1:04.8

20th draft. So that is pretty darn soon here. And that makes sense because if he's going to

1:10.4

1:14.8

potentially even if we're talking about a top three or a top four pick with the Nix and Lakers,

1:20.2

to bring in that player. The other issue is that it seems like Griffin doesn't have a ton of

1:27.6

interest in some of the assets directly controlled by these teams and that he wants to involve a

1:35.3

third team, which might have some assets that may like the, say, the Lakers or the Nix assets more

1:41.6

than he does, although that obviously leads to a crazy amount of complexity.

1:47.7

It does. And theoretically, those could be done in separate things. Maybe he could even

1:52.9

Griffin could get a calibration on what's say, Lonso Ball's market. And it doesn't have to be in

1:58.7

the same deal, but it could be. And that does add complications. It also makes it harder for

2:04.4

any negotiations to stay private. Should that be what the parties involved want? Because it's another

2:09.6

another entity that can leak and everything else. And for Davis, narrowing the list, really what
