00:00You get to Steph in the course of a, whatever, a few weeks.
00:03And if he gets extended, and I think he will,
00:06Draymond's going to re-sign for probably two years.
00:09And I think that this year becomes the year to set up
00:12what really will be the, quote, last dance.
00:15Jimmy Butler comes off the books, 52, 53 million.
00:19And so next off season, I do think you have optionality
00:23to where, and I know you hate that,
00:25but I'm not saying that this year is already done,
00:28but this year, I think, is going to set you up for next year.
00:32You know how incredibly frustrating it is to listen to what you just said.
00:35And you're probably right. I'm not saying you're wrong.
00:38It's probably what the front office is thinking, but it's just...
00:40It's Wyshnowski!
00:43It's not even that. It's a punt.
00:44It's not even necessarily punting on this season.
00:46And you're right, it's not, like, over before it even begins.
00:49We'll see what happens, but this is essentially last year's roster.
00:53The main differences are Jimmy's hurt to begin the year, not end the year.
00:56And Moody, who knows when he's going to be back.
00:58And no GP2.
00:59And as of now, maybe even GP2 could come back on a minimum,
01:02which is absolutely possible.
01:04And you know what? Bring back Klay Thompson.
01:06The other main difference is it's Yaxl instead of Kaminga.
01:10And you could say that's a big plus,
01:12and it probably is, at least in terms of the fit
01:15and the confidence that the organization has
01:18in that player versus Kaminga last year,
01:20considering what the drama was last offseason with Kaminga.
01:23But it's not, like, a big enough difference
01:25that makes you think a 37-win team last year
01:27becomes a 48-win team this year.
01:30And 48 wins, that might be what it takes
01:32to get out of the play-in.
01:34So you're probably not wrong.
01:37But just to hear again,
01:39we heard this at the trade deadline in February.
01:42We heard this a year ago.
01:44We heard this 18 months ago in February.
01:47The previous trade deadline,
01:49we heard this two years ago.
01:51It's just the same thing every single transaction period,
01:55Dibs, the trade deadline in the summer.
01:57It's, well, we still have our optionality.
01:59And, you know, the opportunity,
02:01the right opportunity didn't present itself yet.
02:04But you know what?
02:04We will be poised to strike at the trade deadline.
02:08And it's been that same promise
02:10every six months for the last couple of years.
02:13And frankly, Dibs, I'm sick of it.
02:16I'm tired of it.
02:17Stop searching for the home run 24-7.
02:20At this point, it's probably too late for that anyway.
02:23It was too late for it, in my opinion,
02:25already somewhat recently.
02:27It's time to move on.
02:28But I am done hearing about the optionality.
02:31And we're just waiting for the right opportunity.
02:33No, the moment has passed.
02:35Steph is 38, going on 39.
02:37Jimmy's knee blew up.
02:39So did Moses'.
02:41It's time to pack it up
02:42and start thinking about the future.
02:43That's just how I feel.
02:44Okay.
