him coming back, man, is gonna be huge for us. You know, it's gonna take the pressure off James. Gonna take the pressure off me getting double teamed and face guarding, boxed and one, you know, having to guard Kawhi, you know, he, he draws double teams. Like you can't guard him one-on-one for a full course of the game. So now I'm getting more catch and shoot threes and, uh, more stuff, um, out the floor of the offense from his double team. I mean, he's a generational talent when he's on the floor, man, and he's healthy. I mean, he, he's top 5 in the league with his production and his play. Mm-hmm. And he's gonna elevate the team. I mean, he's a two-way, two-way threat. He's gonna have a a full team to where we can, you know, do a lot of different things defensively and offensively. Love that.
