What move should the Knicks make next? + Perk has a message for James Harden 👀 | NBA Today

So Brian the Knicks are a game out right of fourth place it’s a tight Eastern Conference particularly when we look at that top that upper echelon here should they go all in on doing what Stephen A is asking for attempting to add some star power to their core yes they’re

Going to try and they made a big step last week by doing the anobi deal that I think they viewed this as a two-step process well it’s more than two steps they started when they got Jaylen Brunson that was a good first step but I think they looked at they look what they

Have to trade all those draft picks they’ve collected okay this is you know they focused on sort of the third spot I mean not to be offensive but I think they see anobi as their third best player okay uh they don’t have maybe that one or two yet but Jaylen is going

To be there anobi they see as that as an upgrade and they paid for with quickly to do it you know upgrading in their view from RJ Barrett to anobi and now they’re hunting for that onew and if you look at what they’ve done and you look

At what Leon Rose has done since he’s taken over he got Josh Hart he got Dante Devan chenzo he got Jaylen Brunson now he’s got o anobi they’re working I know it’s not happening overnight but look where they are they’re moving Kendrick Perkins is making right now that’s

Telling me that the onea I know you believe Jaylen Bron is the onea guy it’s not it’s not even about the onea but we keep throwing out a star like what star are you talking about you talking about a guy like Donovan Mitchell that’s not an upgrade from Jaylen Bronson I’m sorry

They on the same well tell me who the number two is because like I’m not saying hold on Wendy hold on Wendy keep a cool booty what I’m telling you is is this this is what I’m saying we keep asking for a star Donovan Mitchell to

The Knicks is not moving a needle enough for them to say oh we’re going to rank them above the Boston Celtics or the Milwaukee Bucks with Stephen A and what everybody’s asking for is a caliber player like a Giannis or Joel andb or maybe a stephh curry and the thing about

Those players is not only does New York as you know W is pointing out in the show the player has to ask out New York has to have the assets which you know it does and the player has to want New York ex and speaking to that caliber we did a

Lot of digging and we noticed that up until this current Nick Squad Julius Randle Jaylen Brunson the Knicks haven’t landed a star-free agent since Amari stamar in 0910 around that time all of their moves have come through trades and that feeds your point perk saying that

Hey free agents just happened to not be going there apart from those currently on the squad since 2010 so I’m saying that you are correct but if they’re going to do something it would have to go through a trade and I agree with you maybe it doesn’t have to be a superior

To Jaylen Brunson but maybe it could be a great compliment they so so what it can somebody answer this not one a or 1B or I don’t even want the multiple choice what is Jaylen Bronson he’s a star okay let’s talk okay he’s a he’s a star so

They did Atlanta Star let go back to your rookie year your rookie year the Detroit Pistons were a very good team they had a a dog for a point guard who was chy bips and they went and they got Rasheed Wallace was rashed Wallace better than chony bips maybe maybe not

But what happened was when you added Rasheed to that compliment you now have a you now have a team where chony could be the one a that’s my compliment point so right now their best player is Jaylen their second best player probably would everybody would agree is Julius their third

Everybody would agree now if you get a guy that you can put in there and he fits nicely like rashed Wallace fit in gloriously then Jaylen can be your best player yeah but but but you have to keep but that’s not a fair comparison you had Ben wall is arguably the greatest

Undrafted player ever right we’re talking about a defensive proudness and so when I think about okay if you want to measure careers look at J look at uh I’m saying people wouldn’t have looked at Chanty and said chy is a 1A on Championship I tell you I’ll tell you

This I’ll tell you this much let’s let’s end on this note Jaylen Bronson is the top 20 player in the league I know that much I was G I was going to say was he top 15 I’ll take you D all right he’s gone for at least 25 points and 10 assists in

All four of the Pacers wins over the bucka season that’s 40% of Milwaukee’s losses for anyone counting on the entire season wow so here’s Giannis channeling a little Jason Derulo on how that’s Weighing on him I don’t know I don’t know if I knew we’ll fix it I don’t know we got to

Figure it out I didn’t this makes us better you know we got to go watch the tapes figure out what they do well against us and try to stop it and if we cannot stop it I probably lose again saying you know he’s in their in

Their head a little bit but that was uh something perk has Faith uh perk giannis’s Faith the Bucks are going to fix this but I hear you maybe spy something M I’m Kendrick Perkins better known as Big perk and nothing gets past me freeze just when you thought it did get past me

There I am I spy a problem I spy it all carry the hell on that’s right that’s right I do spy something the thing I spy best is food cook venison it’s the holidays de me and look I know a lot of people been in my comments a lot lately saying perk you’re

Hating on the Milwaukee Bucks cuz I wasn’t convinced about them oh winning eight out of nine but you know what y’all got y’all side of the story I got my side of the story and guess what it’s the truth we have truth right here in 2022 2023 season which was last season

The Bucks only allowed 120 plus points in 21 One games now take it to this season right here and this is why I say cook venison grill with a little terak so try it if you haven’t had it in 2023 2024 this year over 50% of the games 18

Games the Bucks have allowed 120 plus points a game a game we’re talking about a team that got Championship aspirations now I got more evidence Bam put it up here the video on lie now look at this this is a veteran ball Club okay dribble penetration not on the Scramble now look

At this these are two vets that cannot talk it out and this is OB toen and they’re leaving buddy Hill one of the best three point shooters in the NBA okay downhill again rejects the screen this is Tyrese hurton he’s been giving y’all the business he drives to the

Paint Yiannis you’re a shot blocker you didn’t even go to contest yes I don’t want to see the sad faces I don’t want to hear about the Bucks being the number two seed in the Eastern Conference and how they’ve been winning at the end of the day they’ve been cooked deer meat

And the league notice especially the Indiana Pacers Clippers they went into Phoenix last night and they stood on business perk behind 30 pieces from both Kawhi Leonard and Paul George since December 1st La is 13-2 they lead the league in shooting from the field on three-point and so here’s James Harden he’s asking

Hey where the haters at I KN that from the beginning you know I mean and that’s one of the reasons why I wanted to be a part of this and obviously didn’t start off well so many people was he gave people so so much to talk about in a negative way and now

Those people that was talking are nowhere to be found like literally nowhere to be found um so which we knew that was going to happen you know what I mean but for us I think it’s just focusing on this team can better every single day and we may or may not have

Been some of those people wondering supposedly doesn’t pay attention to anything some of those things we may maybe we will take we will take accountability for that but now I mean the Clippers are humming do they have the best big three in the NBA perk uh

Absolutely not and I’m not about to give them that right now look I don’t there’s the haters James of now are they are they are they the biggest threat in the west to the Denver Nuggets yes they are they’re playing exceptional basketball but because of kawhai Leonard and his health kawhai

Leonard has the capability of being the best player in any Series has James Harden found his Niche and T found a a rotation that fits and and and got them playing well hell yeah but let me tell like James Harden talking about no one it’s hard to be it’s hard for the haters

To be found I’m sitting right here I’m too big to hide and I’m not hating I’m just calling the facts and the facts is the fact is is that y’all did struggle when when you first first arrived in uh in in Los Angeles now y’all playing well

But at the end of the day James no one cares we want to see what you do in the postseason you forgot I was your teammate when we went to the NBA finals and we couldn’t find you in the finals when we lost to the Miami Heat so we

Want to see it happen we did watch you quit on Doc Rivers in the Philadelphia 76ers when y’all should have beat the Boston Celtics last year we watched when Chris Paul was in Houston and went out with a hamstring injury and you couldn’t finish and close the series so at the

End of the day we’re sitting here watching you not what you’re going to do in the regular season because we saw you do that with uh joeel andb last season we’re watching to see what the hell you going to do when it matters the most and that’s in the

Postseason I was just watching that uh what was I gonna say oh Kawai I just want to say something about Kawai please do the last 11 that was very strong the last 11 games the Kawai has played yeah Clippers have won look at these percentages you know how you try

For 50 40 90 that’s like the golden standard how about 60 50 95 by the way that’s 50 on like six threes a game he’s not taken two he has never been stronger I I I just said that he has never been stronger scoring the ball than he is

Right now he is a Powerhouse now perk you are dead right with the Clippers you can’t get excited before the playoffs but my God does kawh Leonard look great and I think two things can be true I do think that right now the Clippers they’re big three they’re playing the

Best basketball of big threes right now but to your point perk we really care about what they do when it matters most but if you look at the big threes maybe the Celtics big three maybe the Nuggets when you know like things are working but they’ve been quieter there’s a case

For right now playing basketball their big three has been standing on business and he’s saying everyone else has gone quiet even though Malik and I said hey we believe in this team about like three four weeks ago in the locker room last week I was there at the at crypto.com

Marina The Vibes have never been higher for the Clippers they believe as long as kawhai is healthy and you know there was that a couple game stretch where I was like oh is this going to be no they picked it up right where they left off

And so there’s all the belief in the world right now that this team can keep it coming come come the playoffs he
