And now what did they dio?
-
They used the They had cap space.

Fans, Not a day after your one game under 500.
-
You can't start asking for trades now.
-
Why now?
-
What are we gonna give up?
-
How can we get Bradley Beal in here and be part of this?
-
You can't, because whatever you give up, a Bradley Beal takes away what this team is all about, which is depth.

You've got a really good bench, and you've got a guy playing it all star level that everybody's rallying around.

Stop asking me about trades, Allen.

At the same time, it cooks it slow.

What's better than the air fryer, man?
-
No grease.
-
You know, I'm saying no trans fat.
-
You know, I'm saying only the good fats.
-
So I mean, we we look at Brooklyn.
-
How did Brooklyn do it?
-
They brought over D'Angelo Russell.
-
Somebody else.
-
Pick turned D'Angelo.
-
Russell, Julius, Julius, right?
-
It's the same thing.
-
It's the same thing you take a guy who was a young player who was good, not great.
-
You make him into an All Star, you rally this team of guys you found and put together.
-
It's well coached.
-
You become very competitive.
-
And what happens?
-
Everybody around the league starts going like what's going on there in New York.

I like that.

The vibe there is just insane.

Like the vibe.

Least hypothetically start doing that.
-
Oh, so high cell, I keep getting that sell high thing.
-
You know what?

You know how there's, like the like button and the heart, but all that said.
-
There should be a smack button sometimes on Twitter, just so when you say something stupid, I could smack you and it's over right?

I don't like that.
