doing.

Bill Duffy, to be fair, does know what he's doing.

So that is true.

You don't think Bill Duffy wanted to get him a $6 million contract with a player option for the second year? Blame me.

Uh, and I would just say, since I brought up the Kuminga thing, we always bring up Kuminga.

Uh, Bill Duffy and Brandon Piszczewski is slightly different c- relationship with the Warriors than Bill Duffy and Brandon Piszczewski.

I'll just say slightly, slightly different.

Uh, doesn't mean it can't blow up, doesn't mean that there couldn't be honest differences in the negotiations.

Nah.

Um, I mean, shout out my agent, Richie, and, uh, Bill Duffy, um, they really, they wanted, like, me and my family to experience the, my name getting called, like, firsthand, so they didn't really tell us anything.

And you know, one thing about Miami, they, they don't give anything away till it's that time, [laughs] so-

We're aware of that, yes.

back at it here keeping tabs on preseason storylines to watch and rj barrett's extension or you know lack thereof seems to be kind of the big thing at least from the first day in quebec city he spoke to the assembled media our fine folks who are there taking uh all the videos of kawaii taking uncontested mid-rangers frankly it's important work um that sounds tongue-in-cheek but it's not i like to see that stuff it's great glad there are people there in quebec city um michael grange is there in quebec city and the rj barrett extension was a topic of conversation because RJ spoke, uh, and sort of added on to what he said at media day.

And Grange wrote a story for sports net with some kernels of Intel as well, and said that the Raptors and RJ's agent, Bill Duffy have yet to have substantive

talks on an extension extension just yet.

And while RJ is saying all the right things, you know, still wants to be here.

But, yeah, at this moment, it does feel like they're somewhat far apart on – not like massively far apart on what they want the number to be, but there's a little bit of a gap between where they are and where Pods wants to be.

And, look, I believe he's repped by Bill Duffy.

He's been in the game a long time.

He's not going to – he's not going to get walked over by any organization.
