Uh, but I think the ironic thing here, Donnie, is that they originally supposedly thought it might be an Achilles problem, but now they're 100% sure. It's just a calf strain, but he's going to miss the rest of December. Uh, when is that trade deadline? No, get him healthy. You need to get him healthy for his next team here, Joe, because if you take a look at some of the trade packages. Here we go. The Lakers get Giannis and Thanassis here. The Bucks get Ruy, now see, now see, hold on now. Let me, let me just understand something here. When, when we talk about like the Madden trade machine, like this is what you override trades like when you're playing by yourself with a dining se. Let me just get the best player in the league for like 3 2nd round draft picks. You're telling me now the Lakers would get Giannis and they throw in Thanassis because he needs them there just to, you know, have support. Ruy Hatchemmore, Jared Vanderbilt, Dalton Conne, they all amount to absolutely nothing and then. Pick swaps in 26, 28, 30, and 32, we say, hey, that sounds great. Not when the Lakers are absolutely picking 28, 29, and 30 every single year. You're not swapping a damn thing. This is ridiculous, man. The next one is even funnier. I mean, so what? Carl Anthonytown and McBride and 7. T00 first round swaps from like 2026 and like come on, I, it's, it's absurd. It, it really is just absurd. By the way, he is too, I think another 4 year, 275 million max extension. So whoever he goes to has to be able to afford that. And how many teams are there? We used to always love that too, like, like in baseball, like, hey, I wanna make a trade for Otani. How if we package two bums and like a guy in AAA, like they'll love that. You always overvalue what you have. Whoever is getting Giannis, you're probably gonna have to gut your entire franchise to get that guy, which means once you do that, you can't win with Giannis. It's always a great. thing. remember that trade where Carmelo Anthony was on the Denver Nuggets and like, hey buddy, if you wait 6 months, you can go to the Knicks. You make a little bit less, but you don't cut their franchise like, man, send me there now, and they gutted the franchise for Melo to come back only to win nothing. Why? Because he gutted the franchise himself. Make it make sense. It doesn't here.
