Well, I did not expect to be talking to you again so soon, Danny. This is rather interesting.

Woo, woo, woo, woo, woo, woo. That's my siren, not the cat zone.

You're going with like the like German police siren? Yes. It's very, it's very European for you.

I mean, this is pretty amazing for a lot of reasons. I think the biggest one being the specific timing.

I mean, if Kyrie decided he didn't want to play with LeBron James,

first of all, that doesn't guarantee anything. But second of all, that information being conveyed almost exactly a month ago

would have been much better than it being conveyed now. It's possible that they knew before now, but still interesting.

Yeah, there is a report that there is a is in the last week, then the discussion.

I mean, this is definitely true, I think, because Wojdj got Jeff Wexler, his agent to discuss it.

And he neither confirmed nor denied it. And if your client is being reported as having a trade request,

you're going to deny that. I mean, we a lot of times they'll deny it and there really isn't trade requests.

This time, not deny. I mean, that means it clearly is true. There we've had seven or eight now really credible reporters discussing this.

I thought that Windows who broke it initially had some interesting lines in his piece about how David Griffin really was good at kind of had a good relationship with Kyrie and was kind of soothing things a little bit.

I think that the front office turmoil certainly cannot have helped with this. And that while it's being talked about that Kyrie wants to have his own team.

We can talk about what that means for him and that LeBron James is apparently blindsided by it. According to and disappointed.

According to Windows reporting, maybe if the organization were run a little bit better, they would have been able to tamp this down a little bit.

They would have been able to convince him. All right, just stick around one more year. They would have been able to keep it from getting out publicly as well.

All of those things maybe it could have happened. But now they are going to rely on it. Looks like Kobe Altman will be the new GM.

According to Wojder's reporting, they're going to rely on him now to get the best value.

And they have a very stark decision to me. LeBron could be gone in a year. We hear more and more about that.

Are you going to try and trade Kyrie and stay as good as possible this year? Or are you just going to try and get the most assets?

Those two things that are very much at cross purposes.
