00:00Look, Andre Drummond, you know, I tweeted out, I wrote, he was going to be the first

00:04piece to go.

00:05That one was obvious.

00:06DeRozan, that relationship has disintegrated.

00:10The door obviously was open after the end of the season, the play and loss to Miami.

00:16There's been some circumstances that led to some, not ill feelings, but a change of heart.

00:23Caruso, the Caruso trade was the final straw that made DeRozan say, I do not like the direction.

00:31There's a lot of stuff behind the scenes too that went into that.

00:34But he will be signing elsewhere, so we can go ahead and close the chapter on the king

00:38of the fourth.

00:39Then it gets really tricky.

00:42You know, ideally, they were hoping the dominoes were going to fall differently than they have.

00:49And that meant Orlando lacking an adult.

00:52They have since solved that.

00:55That meant the Clippers having a big hole to fill.

01:00Derrick Jones Jr. going there sort of hurts that.

01:04Detroit with Tobias Harris, you know, they needed an adult.

01:07They seem to have gotten one.

01:10So the dominoes have not fallen the way Arturos Carusovis needed them to fall in order for

01:17Zach Levine to be a commodity.

01:19A couple of weeks ago, there was a growing momentum that there was going to be a suitor

01:24for Zach, but that has not worked out the way they've wanted it to, unfortunately.
