But they're also super young. I worry about a team with LeBron or Steph or some other guys because you're on the clock when they're in their 30s. The Thunder, and I know I've heard you talk about this, and you're right. You don't know what the window actually is or if you even have a window. When they made the finals with Durant, Westbrook Harden, you thought, well, they're going to be in this thing for the next decade. And they weren't. Shit happens, especially in today's NBA where stars leave all the time. Luxury tax, second apron, all this stuff. Injuries. Yeah. But it's the teams with the older superstars that I worry about and where I think you have to say, screw the future. If there's a move to be made and it costs you some of your future, make it because the time is now, period. It

really does seem like a guy like Kyrie would be the best person for them to add. In Dallas, they could go either way at this point with the team they have. There are a few games over 500. They've also got an awesome and completely healthy Lucas season. Kyrie has not been healthy. So my guess would be there's no chance they would entertain it. But, you know, that's a guy to monitor. We have, I have a big trade thing to throw you, but we got to take a quick break. Hey, it's the last week of the NFL season.

For a limited time, Arby's are selling their craveable, comfortable sandwiches at a value of two for $7. I will never forget multiple times driving to Las Vegas, stopping at the halfway point and Joe House seeing an Arby's and us basically assaulting the Arby's and just eating beef and cheddars. That's what we're talking about right now because the two for seven deal featuring the beef and cheddar and it's freshly sized roast beef, fish and cheddar with fresh 100% wild caught Alaskan pollock and fried mac and cheese bites with crispy poppable bites plus melty mac and cheese. I can only imagine how happy Joe House is. You can order online or on the Arby's app, find them at participating US locations while supplies last. All right. So we were talking about LeBron and the Lakers and there's two other variables going on. One is that the league is the strongest it's ever been, right? This team that LeBron has right now, if you put it in 2015, would be a way better team to have than it is in 2024 when everybody has a good team. You have teams that, you know, like Brooklyn's probably the eighth worst team in the league, and they have some talent. If you catch them on the right night, you're like, oh, that team's not bad. A team like the Hawks, who's a bottom 10 team in the league, and I think they're like five games under 500, you catch them on the right night, they beat OKC last night. You're like, oh, that team's pretty good. So it's just a little different environment for them. And I guess my big question, well, there's two. One is if you have LeBron, you have Anthony Davis, and those are your two best guys. And let's say Reeves too. What's the ideal fourth banana? Let's call Reeves. We'll give him third banana credit. What's the ideal fourth banana? Because it's not a D'Angelo Russell type. We've seen that not totally work. It's not a Russell Westbrook type. Maybe it's a Gabe Vincent type. I don't know. We haven't seen enough of Gabe Vincent this year, but it's somebody in that guard spot who's a creator scorer, but who is it?
