And the Hawks were right to get him the point guard that he himself wanted. He wanted to be paired up with Dejante Murray. He says he's gonna be be more active off ball. We're gonna see the best Trey Young that we've ever seen before because it was not a memory. The best Trey we've ever seen. Oh, you see the best version of every player ever. No, but yeah, because some of these teams are not as Trey Young is seeing the lights. Guys, ever 30 something points a game. Give me a break. You're gonna see the best version of. And it was going nowhere. They never won a chance. They would never win a championship with Trey Young playing that style. Never ever. Trey is gonna be smart enough to know that for me to win a championship, I need to have I need to be sharing the ball with other super talented players like Dejante Murray. And maybe this team isn't good enough. It probably isn't good enough. They aren't the best team in the East. But this for them is a step forward. And assuming Trey continues buying in with this, Trey is gonna keep getting better because he did this at Oklahoma Chris. He played a off ball then in college. Dejante Murray is overrated. I can't remember the last time I heard somebody talk and then went, who cares? Who cares? That was incredible. Okay, we're gonna do one more team comparison. Would you rather be an East West or two teams in the West? Let's do two teams of the West because we did we did the East thing earlier. Okay. Phoenix and all their drama 52 and a half. The Clippers and if they can put it together 52 and a half, sons or Clippers more wins. Oh, it's not to me again. I'm very confident in this Clippers. Because I think even if you lose even if you have Kawhi, they're gonna be unbelievable. Even if they have Kawhi for let's say 50 games. Let's put some in for 60 games. 50 or 60 games. They got wings on wings on wings on wings like you are talking about depth. My God, would they can throw at you? And I'm not even counting on John Wall being something more than, you know, somebody sets a table for them. But let's see assume he does have a set the table year where he could just kind of run things. I think the other thing is I was blown away. When I watched that team in person last year, I watched them twice last year in person. And both times I came on the mismatch and I said, how in the after they win? How? How do they win? How do they have these wins? I think Tyler was great. I do. They saw and they had like 40 something wins last year. So if I'm adding in Paul George, if I'm adding in Kawhi, if I'm adding in Norm Powell and copy did I? Yeah, man. I think and there's just way too much drama with the Phoenix thing. The eight and thing is a mess. The the owner thing is a mess. The Crowder thing is a mess. I don't like it. I don't like the Clippers have like 12 or 13 guys who could be in any NBA rotation. Any. I mean, like you can have a guy out and just plug someone else and their death is insane. And you think about them, you know, I picked them too for what it's worth over the suns and the wins total, but like playoffs for the Clippers, they could have like three different eight man rotations depending on the series and the matchup that optimizes their chances, which is why they should be a potential series. They should be a potential finals, but they might be my finals. Like I haven't determined that yet, but like they're they're they're crazy. They are tied for third in the championship odds. Boston is still the favorite according to FanDuo plus 600 six to one Milwaukee is second plus 650 three tie three teams tied for plus 700 Brooklyn, the Clippers and Golden State. Phoenix is at plus 1000. The Sixers 16 to one Miami 18 to one Denver, who I know a lot of people like at 20 to one Memphis at 24 to one.
