We are rolling right along here, only two days away from the start of one of the more anticipated

finals in NBA history.

Of course, we'll be doing a live show, at least the plan is, for all of the games of the NBA

finals.

I hope you'll join us for that on YouTube or assist.

In the meantime, however, we must discuss The Vanquished, and in this case, Danny,

the Vanquished have a pretty interesting situation with a ton of talent, a ton of money

on their books, and a ton of assets.

I speak, of course, of the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Shall we begin with the financial

picture? I think that makes sense. And when we're talking about the Oklahoma City Thunder,

they have both J.W. J.W. J.L. Williams and Chet Holmgren kicking in on these 25% max

contracts because Chet did not have the accelerators in his deal.

J-dub did.

Chet made all NBA.

J-Dub did not.

But 25% maxes on top of what Shigilders Alexander is making.

And so including all of the options, which we will, of course, break down later in this,

the second apron threshold is a projected, and we'll get the official numbers

later on in this process, 221.7 million. That's the number that we're using as the estimate for

the second apron. If you pick up those options, and they do have some projected picks and all that,

if you keep everything, then, oh, you know, they're just $39.4 million over the second apron.
