Let KI go
new intro is nice. wes is elevating the production up a notch! respect
2:26 it’s a copy of the the website that created a virtual epstein files inbox
My guess is he will bridge the gap between the average team this year and hopefully the great teams of the 2030’s.
They need him for now.
He will be given the heroes exit when his deal runs out.
A LONGTERM deal seems unlikely.
How does anyone in 2026 still call Bam Adebayo a “star center?
Build around Kyrie and Cooper huh??
I could see if Coop was 27 years old, buuuuuut no they need to trade Ky, you have two different timelines right now, and we no that shit never works…
