I don't have that confirmed information.

Yes, that is a head scratcher when it comes to, I mean, for one, here's something.

I know for a fact, and this has been reported, the Bulls have shown a consistent interest in Damanis Sabonis over the years, right?

So let me get this straight.

You're telling me yes to Domas and no to Giannis.

They have a type.

Yeah, he's not he's not from the Balkans.

So, yeah, I think that with Giannis, the shift should be towards New York.

That remains the focus.

You know, last summer.

When Giannis and his camp did raise the prospect of going to New York, and you call it a trade request or a trade inquiry, whatever you want to call it, he expressed an interest in playing in New York.

But the timing of it was so late in the summer.

They had already signed Mikael Bridges to an extension that made that type of a deal even more difficult to do.

All of the different puzzle pieces didn't fit.

There was no way that was going to go anywhere, and it didn't.

But it did reveal...

you know, what he saw in New York.

But the other part of that was the Knicks really looked at their team and said, we think we're title contenders.

And so tracking that throughout this season has been interesting because, you know, there's an inverse relationship between, uh,

how the Knicks see themselves and then the prospects, you know, do they have a desire to go get Giannis?
