David, the techs, hopefully ones that aren't drug-infused.

Go ahead, I've given you a list.

To me, it's Murphy or Markinen.

And the idea Langdon worked in New Orleans, you're dealing with a couple of goofballs down there, including Troy Weaver.

Maybe you get a deal done.

New Orleans is incompetent.

They are irrelevant. Maybe you can take advantage of them. Orleans is incompetent. They are irrelevant.

Maybe you can take advantage of them.

But it's still going to sting.

I mean, there's no world if you're holding on to Assore Thompson that Murphy is anything less than Ron Holland plus and then three draft picks.

I mean, New Orleans has to show something to their ownership.

Or if you want marketing, there's, again, maybe, maybe the jazz are high on opium.

And they don't ask for Duren and they don't ask for Sir Thompson, then what are you offering

you going to do the McHale Bridges? You give him five first round picks plus Ron Holland,

plus, you know, whatever, Bobby Meatballs. Like, guys, you got to give to get. Right.

To me, you could do a deal that makes you better.

You're just going to hate it.

You could trade Duren for Austin Reeves.

You could get that done.

The Lakers can't keep Reeves,

but the Lakers have bird rights where they could pay him more if he came back, only to be traded. The problem? Austin Reeves told you no on draft night years ago. You were going to take him. See, I wonder if that has changed, Mike. Maybe because of Cade. Because the team is good. Like, yeah, coming to Detroit was a death sentence then. Now it's like, wait a minute, you guys gotten better.

I'll go to Detroit.
