We want to get into something that we began talking about last week when we looked back on what we thought the biggest stories of 2025 were and compared them to what we thought the biggest stories of 2025 would be.

And so now it's a chance to look forward to the year 2020s set the table, if you will, for what's going to take place this season.

And then we can look back and see how much of it we were actually right about and how much of it was just stuff that you could never see coming. You know, like Yucca Donchitz getting traded last year. I say we didn't see that one coming. So I'll let you start off, Danny. What do you think is going to be one of the biggest stories of 2026? We'll just talk about a bunch of them here and then we can pick our top ones.

So I wanted to start out with some that I think we might actually get some sort of resolution on because there are obviously their ongoing stories and then there's some that we get a resolution.

And so for me, that is Kauai Leonard and aspiration where we will get, I'm fully confident that we will get a

league adjudication arbitrator, all that jazz. John Hollinger did a fantastic job breaking that

down previously. That adjudication and any punishment should any punishment come. I think that

is going to happen this year. I would guess, though not definitively, that that will also come with

some additional information about what happened and potentially what did not happen. But the aspiration story, obviously a huge part of 2025 as well, the great reporting by Pablo Torre at the athletic, is big, but the, you know, in some ways the practical, it's an incident that allegedly happened

longer ago than that, but the resolution, any consequences for Leonard, the clippers,

any individual, other individuals involved, that is going to be an important story.

And the lack of punishment should that happen is an important story too.

And it would have plenty of ramifications for the other

29 teams in the league as a whole they better throw the book at them i i think as as it stands right now

unless there's something that really stands out in the reporting or the report that comes out that

is exonerating in a way that i frankly can't possibly even anticipate what it would be.

And so I mean, this was worse than the Joe Smith thing.

We've talked about it so many times.

This is going to be a real test.

For Adam Silver, it hasn't been in the news for a long time now.

Maybe they could kind of, because the outrage has faded,

and it happened during a time when we weren't in the middle of the season and you couldn't
