Welcome to Lighters.

Andy Lou, things heating up in the bay right now.

It's been kind of a mild summer, in my opinion.

I don't know.

I don't know if you agree with me.

It hasn't really been that hot of summer out here, right?

I thought you were talking about the Warriors, but yes, it is literally the coldest summer so far.

I'm drawing an analogy.

Okay, oh, you were going to do it.

I ruined it.

Now, now we're finally getting, you know, it's August,

we're getting some of that summer weather.

Honestly, stuff I expected a month ago, the beginning of July.

And that dovetails perfectly to the Cumminga, pre-agency saga.

Things heating up, brother.

Things are heating up.

It is fascinating how we didn't hear a single rumor for weeks on end.

And then all of a sudden, I don't think there's a deadline. It's August 4th today. I don't, I still don't, it doesn't seem like he's playing in the Afro basket. So we technically still got to October. And all of a sudden, like four different stories come out from reputable sources, right, from people that definitely know people. TK. You get to a Sam, M.A. TK. All these guys coming out and reporting on what the offers are, reporting on, you know, whether sign and trade talks or the blah, blah, blah. And I'm like, ooh, I wonder why. I wonder why. But we're here. Yeah, I mean, we kept wondering, like, what is going to force action? The Warriors are, like, the most extreme example in the league, but, like, you know, the Bulls still haven't signed Giddy. Brooklyn hasn't signed Cam Thomas, and there's other players out there who are waiting. Seems like there have been no trades. I'm wondering if that stuff's going to come. It just feels like everything got put on hold. Everyone's talking about this is going to be the greatest free agency

ever and it's been kind of non-existent. Like really non-existent. A bunch of players signed

extensions right before it started and then it's just been a weird holding patterns.

By the way, I really, I really hated, because I'm mad because I believed it when we were getting pitched to this off season will be crazy by Shams. Well, dude, after the trade deadline, I was, I was so ready to believe it because, like, Luca and Jimmy at the trade deadline. Like, yeah, I was expecting some. We were pitched it.
