Kuminga, even if you signed a a $150,000,000 deal next summer, you're still behind because 2029, you would have been out of the original deal anyway. Or 2028 had been out. Yeah. tier, you would have been out signing another deal. Someone is getting you paid to look the other way because there's no way that you should have been signing these deals. Yeah. Now you're talking about you're on a two year deal. You could have been on the couch with us. I'm just gonna be out. You signed a podcast deal, like I said, and you're playing with two max play three max players. You're the fourth, fifth option. And you think you're gonna what? Do what? I signed my own deal. I had the highest contract signed by a individual player without an agent. So that means I've read a lot of contracts. I've seen loopholes and all that inside. That's why they couldn't take away my contract when I got in trouble because I had a felony rule into it too. So that means I read that mother like the back of my hand. So I actually know what I'm talking about. That's how I know how far behind he is in contract money that he can't make up.
