I actually don't know how you bring playoff P back next year. I like that. Like I don't I don't know how you have what you'e just watched. Yeah and be like, let's bring back the same core and hope that it's kind of the James Harden thing.

The Clippers did bring Paul George back, and they reached the Western Conference Finals the following season (2021).

Jimmy Butler is solidly a top 10 NBA player.

I've moved I've leveled [Jimmy Butler] up. He is solidly in the top 10. But yeah, we're I'm just waiting for Jim we respect Jay but on this podcast and Jake was was very happy with the result.

Butler's ranking is subjective, but he led the Heat to the 2020 NBA Finals and was universally regarded as a top-tier star during this period.

Paul George is a third piece at best on a championship team

I'm doing playoff P your you're not a second dude, you're you're a third piece. I you're a third piece at best.

This is a subjective evaluation of a player's hierarchy. Paul George remained a high-level starter but the 'third piece' label is a common critique of his playoff reliability.

I'm gonna enjoy him because he's, he's like, I I said on Wednesday's show, he is, he's already better than LeBron. So I, that's how I'm gonna enjoy him.

People only hate on Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's flopping because his play style is fundamentally boring

I actually think the problem with SGA more than anything is he's just boring. That's really what people are upset about. The flopping like sucks. But... more than anything he's just, he's boring because he is a lethal mid-range guy. He doesn't have flashy dunks. He's not doing... He's just methodically an exceptional basketball player.
