DeMarcus Cousins’ Warriors contract is less than these 192 NBA players made last season

The news that DeMarcus Cousins is signing with the Warriors made me shout out loud next to an open window. If anyone down on the street under my apartment heard me, then I apologize.

But what truly made my eyes almost pop out of my skull was the number he signed for.

Plenty of players take hometown discounts — and players who sign with the Warriors basically have to take a pay-cut of some sort to make it all work — but a player of Boogie’s caliber signing for the mid-level exception (basically a league-average salary) is unheard of.

Just how much of a bargain is Cousins’ deal for the Warriors? Take a look at the players who made more money last season than Cousins’ $5.3 million out of a database of 582 contracts.

Cousins certainly isn’t getting swindled here. He’s making more money than you and I will probably ever see, and he agreed to this contract likely because he’s already made more than $62 million as a professional and just wants to win a championship now:

Are the Nuggets trying to miss the playoffs?

We have that and more in Wednesday’s NBA newsletter.

The Denver Nuggets, fighting for their playoff lives after going all-in last summer, lost by 11 in Dallas on Tuesday. What’s worse is that coach Michael Malone benched Denver’s best player Nikola Jokic for the entire fourth quarter. It didn’t help much -- the Nuggets and Mavericks played to a stalemate in that period.

The margin for error in the West is incredibly small. It is a disaster if the Nuggets miss the playoffs, and at least one person if not the whole crew will be out of jobs if it happens. Given that the Nuggets will be forced to re-invest in this core this summer with Jokic’s weird free agency situation, the team needs to believe this core can at least very least get them into the playoffs.

You can’t lose games like this when everything is on the line. You just can’t.

Scores Galore ...

A phenomenal, important piece in The Players’ Tribune from Kevin Love on panic attacks, mental health, and seeking help if you need it. Kudos to Love for opening up and kudos to The Players’ Tribune for offering an outlet where athletes feel comfortable opening themselves up like this to the benefit of everyone.

Big win for the Pelicans in Los Angeles. Anthony Davis had in-game x-rays and dropped 41 and 13. He’s unreal. Jrue Holiday had 17 and 17, too. Nine straight wins for the Birds.

The Blazers are one spot ahead of New Orleans in the standings, and won No. 8 in a row by smothering the Knicks. Here’s Zito Madu on the glory of watching Dame Time.

The Rockets won *No. 16* in a row by dismissing the Thunder. So much for OKC’s argument that they can win the West because they play extra well against the best teams. Speaking of Houston, Paul Flannery has seven reasons the Rockets are the team to beat and one reason they are not.

Those top four teams in the West -- the aforementioned three and the Warriors -- have won a combined 39 consecutive games.

It kind of looks like the Heat got screwed at the end of their close, playoff-implication-rich game against the Wizards.

Let’s talk about some bad teams now. The Awful Eight went 1-2 on Tuesday. Dallas, the team that won, becomes the fifth squad with 20 wins. Only Memphis (18) and Phoenix (19) have fewer. The lottery has huge potential for pure chaos.

A member of the Awful Eight, the Chicago Bulls, received a note from the league office telling them they’d better stop benching healthy players for no good reason but to lose. The Bulls had pretty much announced that they weren’t going to play Robin Lopez and Justin Holiday much anymore. Welp.

A former NBA agent gave up his clients to pursue a pretty amazing dream: create a high-level professional league in Africa.

Ricky O’Donnell explores what March Madness would look like if all the NBA prospects stayed in college for four years.

Steve Kerr argues that the NCAA should allow players to return to college if they go undrafted. Well ... yes. That would be ideal. That said, the NCAA has gotten better about eligibility, widening the window during which players can “test the waters.” Also, logistically, undrafted players retaining eligibility could be a nightmare that results in programs withholding or retracting scholarships from lower-ranked incoming freshmen. It’s not super cut and dry. The best solution is probably one in which players can retain eligibility but the colleges make a decision in early June about whether they’ll accept them back if they go undrafted. That allows the colleges to move on if they like and keeps both sides aware of the stakes and the next steps if the draft comes up empty. This would be made a whole lot more simple if players were allowed to sign with agents without losing eligibility.

The Clippers have a new patch sponsor: Bumble, a “female empowerment” dating service where women have to make first contact. Nice work, Clips.

Meanwhile, Portland police investigated a sexual assault complaint against Mark Cuban in 2011. Cuban denied all allegations. No charges were brought due to a lack of corroborative evidence. Be advised that the story linked has graphic detail about alleged sexual assault. You may recall that the Mavericks organization has recently come under enormous, deserved fire for an abusive culture toward women. Cuban had denied knowing about all that.

WESTERN CONFERENCE

Pacific Division

Golden State Warriors

So this off-season the Warriors mimicked Thanos in Infinty War to take it’s reign over the league to another level, while the other teams got their Star Lord on, allowing GS to obtain the last Infinity Stone, also known as Demarcus Cousins. Just like fans wanted to slap Star Lord, we should challenge our favorite teams’ GM to a duel for just sitting idle while the Dubs signed Boogie for the mid-level exception. It’s not hyperbole to say this is the best starting five ever. We may only witness this collection of stars for one season, with the rumblings of a KD departure and the inability to give a max contract to Cousins under league rules, this reign could be over with a snap of the finger. If that fate comes to fruition, the damage will already be done, as the Dubs will more than likely win their 4th title in 5 years and cement themselves as one of the top dynasties the NBA has ever seen.

Player to Watch - Can KD win a MVP on this stacked squad Record - 63-19

Los Angeles Lakers

The Magic Man has been dropping dimes in La La Land for almost 40 years, so it’s only fitting he assisted the Lakers in escaping basketball purgatory. Magic has brought Lebron James aka Maximus to battle in the Staples Center Colosseum. As if Laker Nation wasn’t already entertained by past Gladiators, like the great Black Mamba, the Big Aristotle, or the Goliath known as Wilt the Stilt, Maximus is here to restore past Showtime glory. To earn his freedom he must win the crowd and raise another banner to the rafters. King James will rely on some fiery young fighters looking to make a name for themselves in Ball, Kuzma, Ingram and Hart. He will seek wisdom from another gladiator, Rajon Rondo to help in his journey, but it will be up to Magic to bring in another established soldier to help the true King bring the trophy back to the Roman Laker Nation in the near future. It is why we are here. 

Player to Watch - Which Youngblood with be Lebron’s right hand man Record 53-29

Los Angles Clippers

Jerry West is the Professor X of the NBA, the behind the scene orchestrator of multiple dynastic teams. But he will need to tap into his cerebral vortex to make the Clippers a champs. The Logo will find a way to rebuild this team quickly, his reputation speaks for itself. It’s safe to either rookie Shai Gilegous-Alexander or Jerome Robinson, if not both, will be steals in the draft because West always finds gems. They have set themselves for the future with the space for two max contracts and tradable assets like Tobias Harris, Sweet Lou and Patrick Beverly to land a disgruntled star. The Clippers window to jack the city from the Lakers came and went, so they might as well just head north to Seattle, bring back the Sonics and establish a new where they will be loved and embraced forever. Can’t be a side piece forever.

Player to watch - Will Shai Gileous-Alexander be the best point guard of the draft class Record- 34-48

Phoenix Suns

GM Ryan McDonough caught the Jim Buss Holy Ghost during the off-season. His grand scheme of paying 35 million for the combo of Trevor Ariza and Ryan Anderson to help lead them to the playoffs was just delusional. It’s reminiscent of the Infamous summer of 16 and the tragedy that was the Deng and Mosgov. Trading an unprotected 1 st to move up 6 spots into the mid lottery is borderline criminal. The Suns won the lottery and added some solid young buildings blocks in Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges, Eli Okobo and Deanthony Melton, but Robert Sarver had enough. The fact that McDonough once had too many talented point guards to make happy a few years back to not having a starting caliber lead guard was too much to overcome. Sarver should’ve done it weeks ago so he focus on partying at the country club. Luckily Phoenix has a human bucket machine in Devin Booker, that they can convert to the point and hopefully create James Harden 2.0

Player to Watch - Can Ayton justify being the 1 st of the draft from day one Record 24-48

Sacramento Kings

This is the dawn of the post apocalyptic season for the Kings faithful and they can look no further than the self proclaimed Vladefather. He is literally out here making offers teams can’t refuse, like giving up an unprotected 1 st rounder for the opportunity to sign Rajon Rondo, Wes Matthews or Monta Ellis. That’s insanity. Clearly Vlade’s favorite of the Godfather trilogy was the third rendition and he’s using his platform to create his own spoof. Yet again the Kings failed to add the necessary talent to even sniff the playoffs so it’s all about development this season. They have a little bit of hope with sleeper prospect Harry Giles. If he can stay healthy and continues to build off his promising performance during summer league they may have stumbled upon a gold mine. Fox has a nice future and Marvin Bagley should be able to score with ease considering his skill set. It’s not all bad for the Kings from a talent perspective but remember they are by far the worst team in the West and don’t have their pick. The Vlad-Father better avoid the desert.

Player to Watch – Will Marvin Bagley’s collegiate dominance translate to the pro game Record 20-62

Northwest Division

Utah Jazz

The meteoric rise of Donovan Mitchell was one of the highlights of the 2017-18 season. Watching Spida Mitchell during his rookie campaign was eerily similar to Peter Parker testing out his web slinging potential, as he gradually realized he was a problem for the league. His coming out party came during a surprise upset against the Thunder in the 1 st round, where he looked virtually unstoppable. Now that he’s knows he has great powers, he has the responsibility of building on the momentum and lead the Jazz even further in the postseason. When Rudy Gobert is healthy, Utah is the most menacing defensive in the NBA, so as long as he stays on the court they will be successful. The Jazz had a quiet offseason, so they are clearly banking on their young talent taking a leap. We will see if one of the best coaches in the league, Quinn Snyder will help lead them to the next level.

Player to Watch - Is Donovan Mitchell at the superstar level yet Record 52-30

OKC Thunder

Russell Westbrook isn’t human, he’s not a mutant either, but he is Wolverine. He’s virtually indestructible and although will miss the start of the year no one is overly concerned considering he is made out of adamantium steel. Even Wolverine needs time to regenerate. Year 2 of the Westbrook and PG13 duo will be drastically different and more successful than the first. Now that their roles will be more defined, Russ and George should thrive and play off each other more effectively in the half court without the task of sharing shots with Hoodie Melo. Defensively, this team could be a juggernaut once Andre Robertson gets into the fold, but even without him they can still be great. The addition of Dennis Schroeder was a sneaky move that will no doubt ease the burden of Westbrook and allow him to attack off ball and be able to score more freely. OKC is a sleeper WCF contender.

Player to Watch - Dennis Schroeder can be the third scorer this has desperately needed Record 47-35

Portland Trail Blazers

The Blazers are wasting the prime years of Dame Lillard. The second round is this team’s ceiling and it shouldn’t be that way. It’s absolute travesty that Neil Olshey has failed to add the necessary pieces to help out his star studded backcourt. Portland needs a third star, but Olshey refuses to go all in to add one. Cough, Jimmy Butler, cough? The roster has an odd mix of players either ready for prime time or years a way from contributing. Portland needs 3 and D wings, but Olshey fails to address that gaping hole. The roster has taken a set back in a conference that is becoming increasingly more difficult to stay afloat. Maybe Mystique can warn Olshey the sentinels are coming to take Lillard to brighter lights and alter the fate of Portland. Otherwise the writing is on the wall. A miracle needs to happen for Blazers’ fans quickly or their future days are going to be spent reminiscing about the past dominance of Dame Time.

Player to Watch - Can CJ McCollum become an All Star Record 47-35

Denver Nuggets

The Joker is the main reason why we should all take the the Nuggets playoff hopes so serious. Jokic flipped a switch and just blew up last season showing off his unique point-center skill set, reminiscent of another great international center, Arvydas Sabonis. Now it’s up to his backcourt, Jamal Murray and Gary Harris to take this team to the next level. Murray has the ability to be the go to scorer but he has to bring it every night. Denver have a plethora of young players that can get buckets, but they need to buckle down on defense. Coach Malone gained notoriety for his defensive philosophy, so it’s time for him to step up and earn that rep if this squad wants to be a serious contender in the West.

Player to Watch – The Rise of Jamal Murray Record 44-38

Minnesota Timberwolves

The Jimmy Butler saga has wrecked the Wolves’ season before it even started. When Butler exposed Towns and Wiggins for being shook ones, halfway crooks, scared to death, scared to look, it was a wrap. The stakes were already high for KAT coming off his disappearing act in his first playoff appearance but his reputation as an upcoming superstar is on the line. Is he minor or major, a true star or just a stat stuffer are the questions that will be answered by seasons’ end. Thibs is undoubtedly stubborn but he has pull the trigger on a Butler deal before he loses all the leverage for the All NBA performer. Thibs will more than likely going lose his job after the season and so next just ride or die with Jimmy and disregard the future. If that happens it will this will be a lost year for the Wolves. If KAT and Wiggins have any heart they better show it now or the will never shake the soft label.

Player to Watch - Make or break year for Andrew Wiggins Record 37-45

Southwest Division

Houston Rockets

Daryl Morey, why not just bring it back, rewind, pon de replay on a roster that was a CP3 injury away from knocking off the evil empire. This was a confusing off-season for the Rockets, by letting Ariza and Mbah a Moute walk, they lost the defensive switch abilities that made them so special. Adding T.R.O.Y Olympic Melo would’ve been perfect if they maintained there defensive prowess but without it, the squad has taken an unnecessary step back. They will still be in the top 2 or 3 record wise in the West but their championship hopes have dwindled significantly. Morey is a wizard with trades, so it’s a possibility the Rockets still have a chance. I highly doubt Houston will stand pat, the question is will whatever move they make be enough to get one of those rings and things they sing about.

Player to Watch - Can Cp3 avoid his injury playoff curse Record 59-23

New Orleans Pelicans

The theme song for the Pelicans is Biggie’s “One More Chance” but the writing may already be on the wall. Even if the Brow plays at a historic level, New Orleans won’t even make the WCF. Shunning Boogie during free agency was a head scratcher because he was the only chance of pairing the Brow with an elite talent, even with his recent injury history, they had to bring him back. While they were successful without Cousins by playing at the fastest pace in the league and added a perfect compliment to that style of ball in the summer in Julius Randle, it’s just not enough to put them in chip contention. The holes at the wing position and the lack of a second guard will be this squad’s downfall. This season is shaping up to be a long kiss goodnight for the Pellies (turrrbile nickname) with AD signing with Klutch Sports, the rumblings off a Showtime Introduction with the Brow singing “I’m going, going, back, back to Cali, Cali” is on deck.

Player to Watch – Is Playoff Jrue the real Jrue Holiday Record 45-37

San Antonio Spurs

The death of a dynasty is upon us all. Jay-Z once said “It’s a secret society, all we ask is trust,”and within a season we saw that trust erode in San Antonio, thus tarnishing what is known as the Spurs Way in the process. Acquiring the somehow grossly undervalued bucket getter Demar Derozen for a disgruntled Kawhi Leonard was actually a great pickup during the summer. Ask Thibs if he would take that now. The problem that the Spurs have is surprisingly identity. With Kawhi, Parker, Ginobli, and the long gone Duncan, the framework of the championship blueprint is now absent. Pop is looking around the locker room like Will in the last episode of Fresh Prince. The injuries to Dejounte Murray, Lonnie Walker, and Derrick White couldn’t have came at a worst time, leaving them scary thin of playmakers on the roster. The Spurs 21 year playoff run is officially in serious jeopardy. I’ll never count out Popovich, but he needs to find a point guard ASAP to salvage this season.

Player to Watch - Demar Derozen Revenge Tour Record 44-38

Memphis Grizzlies

Running out this Grizzlies team is like churning out another Fast & Furious, we just roll are eyesand say to ourselves “ Really, another one.” The Grit n Grind crew still has familiar faces on the cast, but the culture is gone and it was replace with nothing but random pieces. The biggest flaw with this teamhas been outside shooting which still hasn’t been addressed which is a Tyrese-like head scratcher. Their best bet is to flip Gasol and Conley so they can get value for their aging stars. The West is so stacked, Memphis would have to play out of their minds to sniff the playoffs. Going out on a limb here but the Slow Mo and Garrett Temple acquisitions just don’t seem like enough to do it.

Player to Watch - Jaren Jackson Jr looks like the real deal Record 30-52

Dallas Mavericks

The Mavs are trying to reboot their success with another international phenom after 20 plus years of the same mega star. Dirk was the Dark Knight of European prospects and nothing will top his epic trilogy. Luka Doncic will have to mimic Bain’s childhood rise from the prison to even challenge the reign of his predecessor. There’s a ton of hype surrounding Luka, but Dallas will be satisfied if he is just a Michael Keaton type of Bruce Wayne, but if he is on that Ben Aflek level, the Mavericks are in trouble. Deandre Jordan finally escaped the barricaded door of the Clippers franchise but it’s couple years too late from him to have a major impact. Dallas has good talent on the roster, the Doncic nd Smith Jr will be fun to watch, but a playoff birth is wishful thinking.

Player to Watch - Will Luka Doncic be the transcendent player his pegged to be Record 30-52

Six NBA coaches who could be on the hot seat

The 2016-17 NBA season was a time of peace on earth and goodwill towards head coaches — not a single one was fired, marking the first time that had happened since at least Millard Fillmore’s presidency. But the same cannot be said about the 2017-18 campaign, as Earl Watson and David Fizdale have already walked the plank less than two months in. Here are six more coaches whose seats are rapidly warming and could be in danger of following suit.

Doc Rivers, LA Clippers

A recent report suggested that Medicial Practicioner Rivers is likely safe for this season, citing the rash of injuries that have crippled his team in recent weeks. But the ice still seems to thinning underneath him with the Clippers relapsing into their futility of decades past. Their lack of effort and creativity made for a difficult watch even when Blake Griffin was still healthy, and Rivers’ rotations have largely resembled a dart throw otherwise. Welcome to the starting lineup, CJ Williams! Jawun Evans, come on down! And what’s more is that there’s hardly been a Clipper who has improved their play this season despite the increased opportunity with all the injuries and the exit of Chris Paul … except for maybe Lou Williams and Doc’s own son Austin. Now to be fair, the loss of the team’s best offensive player in Griffin and their best defensive player in Patrick Beverley will probably move Lord Steve Ballmer to show mercy on Rivers. But enthusiasm is quickly waning as “What’s up, Doc?” becomes more of a cry of exasperation than a Bugs Bunny catchphrase.

Mike Budenholzer, Atlanta Hawks

Budenholzer is one of the longest-tenured coaches on this list, and that may only be magnifying the staleness that Atlanta feels right now. It has all been downhill since Budenholzer led the Hawks to the most surprising 60-win season in the history of the observable universe in 2014-15 as his core slowly exploded at the seams until nothing was left. Now Atlanta is rotting to the tune of a 6-20 record, and it seems the only thing they have left to play for is Marvin Bagley. Independent of the cadaverous roster, Budenholzer’s own performance hasn’t been reassuring. His once-acclaimed Spurs-ian motion offense has devolved into Dennis Schroder holding the ball and missing ten-plus shots a night while Kent Bazemore aimlessly throws around his athleticism from the wing. The young Hawks haven’t been developing too well either, with the exception of rookie John Collins, who came out of Wake Forest ready to play. Budenholzer vacated his position as president of basketball operations this offseason, and that means he’s now being evaluated exclusively for his head coaching ability. That should probably be concerning for him. And speaking of a similar case…

Alvin Gentry, New Orleans Pelicans

Gentry has now had almost an entire year to construct a winning ecosystem around arguably the two best big men in the game right now in Anthony Davis and DeMarcus Cousins. Yet it is still the same old story for the Pelicans, who seem doomed to writhe around in sub-.500 waters for all eternity. Granted, it doesn’t help that New Orleans is the NBA’s infirmary — they have suffered enough injuries during Gentry’s three-season tenure to make the robbers from Home Alone cringe. But with at least three Western Conference playoff teams from last season (the Clippers, the Grizzlies, and the Jazz) almost certain to miss the dance this season, the Pelicans still have yet to seize the day. I will leave you with one final stat about Gentry’s time in New Orleans. His record with the team pre-DeMarcus Cousins trade? 53-86 (.381). His record post-Cousins trade? 24-27 (.471). Not exactly too encouraging, my friends.

Frank Vogel, Orlando Magic

After sailing high up in space among the comets through the first few weeks of the season, Orlando has come plummeting back to earth at warp speed. They now sit at 11-17 as the memories of their 8-4 start have faded faster than a Back To The Future photograph. Is it time to start pointing fingers, knocking over water pitchers, and running away? Not quite. But some fundamental questions exist about whether a defense-first coach like Vogel can succeed with a roster lacking the offensive firepower to compensate on the other end. The Magic are stuck in the NBA’s bottom half in both offensive and defensive efficiency, and that’s despite huge individual improvements from franchise cornerstones Aaron Gordon and Nikola Vucevic on top of quality two-way free agent adds like Jonathon Simmons. At some point, something’s gotta give.

Scott Brooks, Washington Wizards

The Wizards had dreams of flying first class on the Eastern Conference plane this year, but it’s been back to coach for them through these first couple months of the season. A lot can be blamed on the knee injury that has kept John Wall out since late November, yet 14-12 feels very underwhelming for a team with this kind of talent. Part of the problem may be their record in close games — they already have seven losses by five points or fewer, which calls into question Brooks’ late-game management. They have also been struggling to find consistency on D, clenching their jaws shut on a top offense like Milwaukee and holding them below 90 points one night, then allowing 116 points to a plodder like Utah several nights later. The window to strike is now with Wall, Bradley Beal, and Otto Porter all in or near their primes, so the Wiz may have to think long and hard about if Brooks is the guy who gives them the best chance of scaling the mountain, even if he was just hired 20 months ago.

Billy Donovan, Oklahoma City Thunder

The man who succeeded Brooks in OKC may find himself meeting a similar fate if the status quo persists. Donovan has made like Burger King and let Russell Westbrook have it his way … for better or for worse. That’s fine if your ultimate goal is to force-feed triple-doubles and MVP awards into the Brodie’s eager mouth like a game of Hungry Hungry Hippos. But it doesn’t work as well if you’re trying to compete for a championship and build a winning culture off the backs of not just Westbrook but two other stars in Paul George and Carmelo Anthony as well. There’s no reason for Westbrook to be hoisting up 12 threes a night (and missing 11 of them). There’s no reason for him to be a total zero off the ball, twiddling his thumbs 35 feet away from the basket when the play isn’t drawn up for him. And there’s even less reason for Donovan to be enabling that style of play. True, OKC boasts an elite defense, and Billy D deserves credit for that. But until he starts teaching some accountability on the other end, whether it’s Westbrook or Alex Abrines for that matter, the 12-14 Thunder will continue to sputter. Questions about his job security will haunt Donovan’s dreams like a Kevin Durant tweet.

Marvin Windows and Doors for your Home

Presently, before you begin asking why you even began considering supplanting your windows, permit me to share a tad bit of what I have realized in the course of the most recent 20 years of working in the development business. To start, let us begin with the terms Marvin windows OKC and substitution windows.

Supplanting windows and doors involves the evacuation of the whole unit, inside and outside trim, the window casing and scarves (the edge that holds the glass) and if exhibit any weights as well as offsets with more established windows. These dead air spaces for the stabilizers in much case are one of the main sources of cool and drafts. Just by completely expelling the old window and supplanting it with an amazing window, appropriately protecting and caulking the new trim to stay away from air drainage, will you ever draw near to proficiently halting warmth misfortune?

Substitution windows are really substitution scarves in an edge. to introduce a substitution window, every one of that should be done is to evacuate the current scarves (the edge that holds the glass) and introduce the substitution window. Notwithstanding when substitution windows are introduced accurately, this technique ought to spare time and cash at first by not insulating the dead air spaces and supplant the trim.

Two or three expressions of alert here, first some of what I accept are utilized auto business people turned window substitution specialists, when defied with these focuses, will propose protecting the dead air spaces, which will obviously cost increasingly and doubtlessly prompt to new trim in any case, again costing more. By address the issue of the old outside trim they will offer arrangements from basically applying new paint, cover the trim with aluminum, or even supplant the old trim, again at additional cost.

Old Age: One of the Most Common Causes for Window Replacement

On the fuel bill winters are hard and as compared to window replacement in the home no other place will give back more money in energy saving.

This is why as the most popular renovations Marvin Windows in Okc are rivalling both kitchen and bathroom remodeling.  However, old age is one of the major reasons that homeowners are opting for new replacement windows.

On building materials and especially wood these weather characteristics are hard as they absorbs moisture and are porous.

The wood shrinks as the oils are leached out and opening up air leaks between the glass and the wood they become brittle.

Not only that causing the water to leak in rot can set in exposing cavities and like vinyl siding under the exterior cladding it can damage the walls. For years this can go unnoticed. So, you must get them replaced by Andersen Windows in Okc.
