00:10now.

00:11Right?

00:12Like moving in on $50 million a year.

00:13I mean, that's crazy.

00:14That should be illegal.

00:15That's what I'm saying.

00:19You know, Scott, you have some teams though, bro, it's sort of like the Raptors where quickly

00:24they got to, they got to kind of overpay them a little bit.

00:26The Raptors have a hard time getting free agents, talking about tax situations.

00:31Yeah, they've won, but it's not like the most, once players are on the Raptors, they like
