John, are you ready to go?

I am indeed ready to go.

Okay.

I think I'm going to get it right this week.

And I'm, like, going to be offended at myself if I get this wrong.

Kossim, welcome to Green Room, sir.

Thank you, thank you. Welcome to, well, no, welcome. thank you thank you welcome to well no welcome thank you for the

welcome and how you guys doing this morning we're good man how are you very good good good once again

as usual thank you for your content fellas i really enjoyed the recent newsletters and the pod that explained a little bit of

the cap and free agency stuff. That was all great. Well, thank you. It was fun to do.

I have a couple of questions. One is about Lonzo and the other about Randall, if we can get to it.

Yeah, let's do it.

My question on Lonzo, and that's nothing against the Lonzo takes, it's just, I just need an explanation.

I understand that he's a good player.

I understand that he can be a great player, but he's not there yet. So what I don't

understand is why would you pay $20 plus million to someone who potentially can be a great

player? I mean, in my, I guess I'm, maybe it's an old school take, but I feel like 20 plus million dollars are reserved for people, for players who score at least close to 20 plus points a game.

And Mr. Ball at the, at the moment, with his, with his career season, is still under 15.

Decent on the assist, but he was also, I mean, look who he was assisting too.

It's like he was at, it was the, the lob king of Scotland.

I mean, so, so I just, that's pretty damn good. I like that.

Yeah, and, and, and on top of that, even his 14.6 points per game, which sounds, it sounds not too shabby, you know,
