Q. I want to go back when you were the GM in Sacramento. I don't remember the year, but you had a chance to get Luka Doncic and you passed on him. Do you want to talk about that? Because you had drafted European players before. Vlade Divac: I actually went to Madrid to talk to Luka, a year before the draft. So, he definitely top on the list. But, obviously, it looks like I made mistake. Luka is an unbelievable uh talent, one of the top players in the league. All of my assistants told me that he can play small forward, and I said no, no, Luka is a point guard. Luka is a coach on the floor. And I felt that if I get Luka, I would have to trade De’Aaron Fox, and I already got a relationship with Fox, and I see he’s a perfect fit for us, a small market team, and Luka was a big market player.
