Nick Aschew, Chris Mac, you better, you bet, run twitch twitch.tv slash betql YouTube,

the Odyssey, I've been, of course, all over the country on the betql network.

And as we sit and we wait, I'm, I'm checking Twitter, Chris and Kevin Durant has not been

traded yet. So we still will linger with this for a, you know, I would guess at least the

next couple of weeks, bear minimum, maybe even longer. I did see a theory thrown out there.

Kendrick Perkins thinks that this is just Kevin Durant trying to gain some leverage for

Kyrie Irving in a long term contract negotiation where it's like, well, I'm going to leave if you

to play with. So that's the question. Where does he want to be? And can he somehow make it work

and make it fit? And I don't know. I still foresee it in some weird way, somehow, somehow,

some way he and Kyrie end up staying in Brooklyn. I don't know why I still see that as it's a dark

horse, but I still see that out there as a possibility. Well, listen, it's not crazy. And the

odds just over the weekend were even the nets were plus two 50 along with the heat in terms of his
