00:00However, it's brought to my attention today that I was, a clip of mine was put into a content creator,
00:07like a Celtics or an NBA content creator.
00:09I didn't see who it actually was, but I saw it, but I can't remember the name.
00:13I'll double check it for you.
00:16Someone pointed this out to me.
00:17It was the clip of me reacting to the Jalen Brown trade.
00:21And the guy was basically saying, all right, you all owe Brad Stevens apologies now.
00:25Everyone who didn't like this trade, everyone who thought this was a bad trade, you got to apologize to Brad
00:29Stevens.
00:29Which, two things about that.
00:32Number one, I don't feel I have to apologize to Brad Stevens at all.
00:36I don't think Brad Stevens really wanted to make that trade.
00:38I think based on the way Stevens talked about it in the aftermath, the optionality press conference, which I still
00:44cringe every time I even think about that word.
00:47You don't hear that word ever.
00:48The only time you ever heard the word optionality was during Brad Stevens' press conference with Bill Chisholm right there.
00:54And he said it about a dozen times.
00:56Optionality.
00:57The only time I've ever heard anyone say that.
00:58I've never heard that word before, and I've not heard it since.
01:02No other team was like, yeah, optionality.
01:04Let's pick that up and run with it.
01:05Nope.
01:05Just Brad Stevens on an island talking about optionality.
01:11You never heard it again.
01:12Brad Stevens didn't want optionality.
01:14He wants a good team.
01:14He wants championships.
01:15He wants to be regarded as a great executive.
01:18And for the first three years, whatever it was, of his tenure, he absolutely was considered a great executive.
01:25And he's still considered a great executive now.
01:26I still consider him a great executive.
01:28I think that once the Grosbecks sold the team and it was time to trim some salary and move on
01:36from Porzingis and move on from Drew Holiday and not really replace either one of them,
01:40then you sort of knew that things were tilting in a direction.
01:43We'll see you soon.
