Dennis Smith Jr. certainly likes the looks of the top free agents in Knicks uniforms. 

The 21-year-old point guard appeared on Bleacher Report's House of Highlights show on Thursday and was shown a photoshopped picture of himself alongside Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving and Duke star Zion Williamson all in Knicks uniforms.

Smith was giddy looking at the photo and used it to make his recruiting pitch to Durant and Irving. 

"Ya'll should post this picture and tell KD and Kyrie to come holla at us in New York City," Smith said. 

Asked what he would say if he could show this picture to Durant and Irving, Smith said the photo says it all. 

"The proof is in the pudding. They look good in the blue and orange," he said. "If we get Zion we'll make some noise for real."

While Smith was put on the spot, his comments also may be walking a fine line with the NBA's tampering policy. 

Players and executives are prohibited from "conduct that interferes with contractual employment."

Regardless of whether or not Smith's comments fall into that category, it is safe to say any player in the NBA would probably want to team up with that trio.
