But if you're if you're the Knicks, that's that one player that's out there that you may be able to offer.

You know, those those future draft picks, especially Dallas, is like, how do you not go hard after him?

How are you not trying to have back channel conversations?

Where?

Bradley building.

Let him know, man.

Listen, you want Westbrook, ain't it?

You're not gonna get it done, man.

Listen, you come here.

At least we could build something.

And we could be able to track a real superstar with you here with how great this and how hard this young team plays.

Just like the Nets did.

Right?

They showed that they could play, Uh, you know, hard.

They brought it.

They brought in Russell, you know, I mean and was able in dangelo, Russell.

They were able to get it done and attract the star.

If you're the Knicks, how you trying to go after Bradley Bill?

Because that may be the one star that they may be able to track to be able to come because he's in a worse situation than the Knicks would be if he went there.

Yeah, I guess.

The question.

Look, first of all this stuff that kind of that is coming out of D C D C.

About Bradley bills happy, and he wants to be here on.

Okay, let me hear that from Bradley Bills Mouth.

Yeah, I need I need Bradley Bill to say I'm happy This is where I wanna be until I hear Bradley Bill say that I'm not sitting here and thinking that Bradley bills happy You couldn't be happy if you're dropping 38 39 points every single night.

But you're still losing, even though you're waiting for us to explode every once in a while and one of things I have to think about.

Look.

And I love the New York Knicks uniforms, and I like the direction that they're going.

But like, you know, if you're badly Bill, are you tired of losing?

Do you want to go through a rebuild?

Do you want to go through a rebound?

You kind of been in to rebuild your entire career.

Maybe I want to go to a contender team that's already kind of pre built turnkey, where I can come in and start winning right away instead of going through the same losing process again.

And some Bradley has to really think about because we all know you can't play this game forever, man, your time playing this game, this window short.

But if you put Bradley Bill on the Knicks, But if you put Bradley Bill on the Knicks, does he not make them a a seat or seven seat?

And then you can e?

I don't Actually, I would argue, and I watched this team every night.

I would argue right now the way they're playing, the missing element of this team is shooting.

They can't shoot.

They lost to the bull because they couldn't make threes.

That's all of their defense is the best in the league.

They just can't shoot you.

Add him and I'm telling you, it takes them to a level where it goes beyond just making the playoffs, not championship level, but certainly a little higher than just getting into the playoffs.

But J what I actually Nick related what I wanted to ask you is How much have you watched this kid?

Emmanuel quickly the 25th pick in the draft from Kentucky.

That would be a second round pick and this floating game that his floater game he's got going.

He's still not starting for them.

But yet he's emerging, is one of the top rookies in the league right now, and he's getting the respect of guys like Paul.

George.

Uh, Donovan Mitchell last night was was tweeting about him.

Damien Lillard has noticed him.

Lou Williams, other players.

They're starting to notice this kid.

I wanna know what you think.

You're a guard.

What do you think of this kid?

Is what we're seeing.

Riel and I love it Now.

It's, I think, a man.

You quickly has a lot of talent.

I think he's always had the speed.

I think he has the athletic ability and he has to feel for the game and also think defensively, he's pretty good as well.

I think it's the real deal.

I I don't Can it be superstar?

I'm not sure, Um but I like him as a piece.

I like him is a valuable piece and the one thing I will say about him watching him play a Kentucky watching money, John Calipari, like there's a chip on his shoulder because, like, it just always felt like you could get a little bit mawr from Emanuel quickly, But you knew he had it in him.

You knew he had it just it took the right environment.

I think now actually seeing the environment where he could be competitive and it could be fierce, and I think it may well quickly.

It could be a solid starter in this league for a long time to come.
