00:00good vibes here of Lonzo playing like this. Like what would the numbers be if he's a 42,
00:0843 minute guy? He had, he had 11, eight and six in 25 minutes in the loss to the Pelicans. And
00:17you really get inside, um, the Marvel that this is because his beauty as a player is evident.
00:25And he and Billy Donovan are both trying to be careful while they're just there. They gotta be
00:30giddy, not Josh, but they gotta be really excited about how this is going. Yeah. I mean, the ice is
00:36still not a hundred percent frozen. So, but so far this is not what I expected. I thought it was
00:42going to be so wanky. I thought it was going to be, you know, a game here, a game there,
00:47no practice in between because he's going to have to do maintenance and he's going to have to be
00:51shut down. And that is not it. It is truly unbelievable because you look at the other
00:56people that have gotten that surgery, I believe it's two soccer players. Neither of them have
01:00come back. One is still trying. The other one retired. It's a hockey player. He's a younger
01:04guy. He's still trying. And there's one other sport that have had this surgery in the last
01:09couple of years. And there's no success stories out of this. This is the only one. And for him
01:14to be doing this at an NBA level, when he even admitted at the beginning of the year that I'm
01:19concerned about my defense and my point of attack on screens, will I be disruptive on those screens?
01:24Will I be able to add some physicality to those screens? Check all those boxes. Yes, yes, and yes,
01:30and yes. And so that's why I think he's the most logical trade piece they have just because
01:36he is a game changer of not just plus minus, but you look at every playoff team in the East and
01:42West, he's one of your best eight players. And that's why I think he's the guy they really have
01:47to look to move with that expiring contract, because I think he helps every playoff team,
01:52even when the rotation heighten down to eight, maybe nine in the postseason, he's one of your
01:56top eight guys. And he's to me, he's a game changer for your second unit.
