Welcome back to the compound podcast. This is episode 88th. I did see the email today. It is 88th.

And it's presented. Thank you. It's presented by Parsay Ram. I love Parsay. You love Parsay. We all love Parsay. Anything nice you guys want to say about Parsay today?

If you would have brought some Parsay to these negotiations, we might have a new CBA.

That's a good point. If I would have just slid some Parsay across the table, I think we'd be in business.

Are you there like in person? I'm in Dallas. We're all in Dallas. All the like team reps are.

I don't know. Fall team reps are here. I would assume we probably have more than 30 like we have. There's probably 50 ish players like at least one per team.

Yes. Yes. At least one per team plus extras. Are any owners or like your manford there? Manfred's there too. Everybody's here.

You know who's not there is Steve Cohen because he's just him in the Rangers GM or just signing everybody.

Slang him. He's going on spending space. Yeah. She said, hey, here's the checkbook. Do what you got to do.

The amount of signings in the last 40 hours, 72 hours is crazy. Do you think credible?

Do you think that this is kind of like a like a total product of where we are?

Because it's a good narrative for owners to be spending right now, especially if things happen over the next couple of days.

Like it's a good. Plus you have like three, four, three, you have no spending last year.

Then you have probably three years of really low spending. You had a lot of teams who've mailed it in.

Who are now starting to spend again. And you have this deadline, this artificial deadline that's kind of out there for teams to spend two.

So do you think it's a perfect storm of spending or do you think if we had a deadline every year that it would be like this?

I think it'd be like this every year if there's a deadline. I mean, you saw it last year. There were guys like numerous like guys that could play every day and then we'll be going into spring training without a job.

And it's it was insane to see it. And then this year, it's kind of like everyone rushing to get a deal done before this all unfolds the next couple of days.

You guys should you should throw that until when you guys are coming to agreement, like, oh, yeah, by the way, we want a deadline every year for for agency.

I thought about it. And I haven't like I haven't had deep conversations about it, but I've just thought about it. And when you kind of think about it, it's like what's the penalty on the back end like if you don't sign something like what happens.

How do they do it in the NBA?
