The cash app which is dollar sign nothing but Nicks or through PayPal at paypal.me slash nothing but Nicks ladies and gentlemen I’m putting it in the chat right now it’s also in the description of this video now let’s break it down let’s talk about it
Tony Nicks take L give up 140 points for the eenth time this season they give up 140 points to the Indiana Pacers and the last two two games I mean the last two games the Knicks have lost to teams that were right before and right after them in the
Standings which obviously hurts them when it comes to tie Breakers and all that kind of stuff I mean the nck started off well and I was incouraged right they started off the game playing aggressive playing tough scoring the basketball took a lead good first quarter but then Indiana they come
Back right and they begin to take over the game offensively and as much as the Knicks continue to fight back they just weren’t able to score with Indiana and you know by that third quarter fourth quarter Indiana just took over the game and you know that was that the Knicks just
Couldn’t score with this basketball team they couldn’t stop him right hopefully OG anobi is going to help us on the defensive side of the ball but the Knicks could not stop Indiana they couldn’t stop tyres halberton you know from finding whoever he wants an Tony and I was just
Listening to a little bit of Indiana’s press conference and they talked about their game plan they know that the Knicks are going to overcommit to the paint so they’re very very very aware of shooting threes and knocking down threes and what’s open from the three-point line yeah you know
Uh tough loss for the Knicks three game losing streak you know lost to a couple of teams right there with them in the standings right there next to them in the standings and yeah you know that’s where the Knicks are right now obviously they came into the game
Underand you know no RJ Barrett no Emanuel quickley as they’re waiting for oan and Obi and presses to Chi will Malachi Flynn to come to to to make it to the team so Duce McBride Evan for those guys played tonight you know but I don’t think the Knicks will stopping
Them even they had those other two guys to be honest with you I know what what’s your thoughts Tony I hope Emmanuel quickly fails his physical and trade his [Laughter] Nicks I’m sorry bro n man I think I think they were spot on they they was looking for the three
All night and the the Knicks seem to hedge more than you know you know what I mean straight up defend these shots everything was a recovery if if that you know I mean if they even got to recover penet penetrating dish all night all day long halberton second consecutive 2020
Game I mean yeah 20 what do you have 21 22 assists today I know was over 20 yeah he picked us apart and then had words for Wall-E yep say what he say fake wnab be Allstar that’s what uh that’s what said that’s what w said about uh tus
Halberton yeah yeah that’s that’s what he was saying back yeah yeah so you know what we going to do man uh and breaking news the Knicks and Miles McBride agree on a three-year $13 million contract extension per Adrien wowski so to you know jump over top of
An usurp if I’m using the right word tonight’s game who cares the Nick’s lost what do you think about that that tells me that you know Malachi Flynn you’re not playing miles McBride is playing that’s what that tells me that the Nick are staking their claim in Miles McBride right now right three
Years 13 million that’s about $4 million per year a little bit more than $4 million per year right no yeah a little bit more than three million said four years or three years three years 13 million oh three years my bad my bad yeah three years 13 million
So that’s a little bit more than $4 million a year uh I don’t know what’s your thoughts on it Tony I think I think it’s a it’s a good deal it’s a fair deal I ain’t mad at it it’s nice to know that uh you know they put some they put
Some he got some security you you know what I mean and and and obviously they valued him and and and felt he was an adequate uh replacement at least like you were saying earlier on the defensive end you know what I mean um now it’s up to him
To kind of step up and bring some type of offensive game right you know I mean you know to you does it mean that he is definitely the backup uh point guard it’s I think it’s his to lose you I mean I think it’s it’s next
Man up he’s the next man up he showed his uh you know his patience his stay Readiness you know I mean like he does everything the coach wants coach obviously likes him um so yeah I think it’s his to to lose and and you know it don’t you don’t lose
Their job easy right you get at Le you get at least 20 games that’s true you get at least 20 games when it comes to tibs uh you know I this clearly was you know they didn’t just decide on it you know tonight right you know I
Mean you know this is something that was obviously in the works after uh you know after the trade was completed you know they probably knew hey we’re going to go ahead and you know we need that backup point guard Deuce is going to be our guy you know what I mean
Um pardon me yeah I you know I I I don’t know if he’s I mean I guess it’s good it’s good for Deuce it’s great for Deuce you know what I’m saying it gives him some security uh you know and when I say security I’m not meaning just MoneyWise but security
As far as you know himself as a player is part of the New York Knicks but it could also mean that he’s going to be traded because maybe whoever the Knicks are planning to trade him to or like we want to keep this guy around you
Know let’s sign this kind of deal now does the unless the extension stops the trade I don’t know I was going to ask is it is it going to be the same as like with RJ or potentially if we had extended quickly where it’s you know what I mean that
That stipulation it could be it could be so you know that that’s that’s that’s definitely uh something so it could be that too you know um I don’t know you know saying I guess we’ll find out more details you know uh so I Q extended for three years $13
Million you know uh solidifies his uh place with the New York Knicks for a little while I guess Josh said he can’t be traded until the off season if anything six months you know what I mean so if that does make sense yeah uh there you go I guess we
Got our backup point guard right there you know what I mean no more really yeah I would assume he’s probably not fighting for a position right now I mean I didn’t think Malachi Flynn was going to be playing over Duce anyway I thought it was going to be Deuce’s role to
Lose you know he’s been here Tom Tibido knows who he is plays defense and all that kind of stuff so yeah I you know I wasn’t expecting Malachi Flynn to start or not start but uh play in that backup role over Duce McBride so you know there you
Go there you go miles McBride is going to be a Nick for three years well we don’t know if it’s going to be a Nick for three years you know he might be a Nick until the summertime or whatever it is but he’s a New York Nick right now
Um I don’t know I don’t know if it means anything as far as trades coming up do you think it means anything as far as trades coming up um I would think that that that probably means we’re not trading for um a lead guard or point you know I mean
Point guard you mean a backup guy backup yeah I think I think they’re gonna um I think if we make another move it’s G to be another big win but big you know I mean I think that that would be the the next thing we have I mean yeah we I think we
Still have enough guards between Grimes between um D chenzo between I think Hart could could slide to the three you know what I mean so yeah I don’t know man I I I’m I’m kind of lost right now it’s like I’m now it’s like what’s the next move you know what
I mean like like they dropped the Domino and it hit the other one J you know so it’s like yeah and you know I right and sometimes these things are pieces to another move right I I don’t know how signing Deuce would be a piece to another move I
Guess it could be but sometimes they are you know what I mean you know okay we’re going to solidify Deuce here now we’re going to make a move for you know you know now we’re going to make this trade for this guy cuz we know we got to give
Up boom boom and boom right a guy like Malachi Flynn could be part of a trade still right so you’re like okay well Malachi Flynn is going to go so we got to make sure we do this that and the third you know let’s lock up Deuce who
Knows who knows where it can go from there ladies and gentlemen but you can see it here quoting to Adrien wowski you know if you if you wanted to see it for yourself and you didn’t believe uncle fulio and anybody else in the chat you can see it for yourself
You so you know let’s hope that this is a piece to another move you know what I mean something you know they solidified Deuce so maybe they can move on maybe they maybe they’re going to move on from somebody else by solidifying Deuce who knows I guess we’ll see in the coming
Days and weeks there’s about uh five weeks until the trade deadline where the Knicks can make more moves and if they do you know what the Knicks have been since Leon Rose has taken over you know normally their moves didn’t come all you know normally their moves took place
Before you know sometime in January right they didn’t wait until um the end of the trade deadline or anything like that you know they took care of it right away or not right away but they took care of it like in January you know what I’m saying so you know if there’s more
Moves to come it could be just that you know you know they could happen this month you know what I mean they could happen this month so I guess we can get to some phone calls and find out what people are thinking about this move now an eventful day for the New York
Knicks you know I mean exciting day this is what Nicks fans like excitement we we just didn’t get excitement on the court Callie you’re live name it where you’re from please what’s going on gentlemen it’s Nick and Jersey City Nick what’s going on with you brother how you feeling man
Feeling good man wish we uh wish we got this game tonight you know it’s been what is it three in a row now three in a row lost three in a row y see Los streak season I was wondering what your thoughts were on these other guys that we got out uh this
Guy precious I think he’s probably going to be the backup center here um he might even play over Sims when Sims gets back uh I like Precious I like Precious I think that he’s going to be you know I think that he um he fits the mold of what the Knicks
Want to do as far as and you know you seen the the the the little thing from Leon Rose as far as you know guys um fitting into the culture that they’re building in New York and so on and so forth I do think that he fits into the
Knicks culture right and the way the Knicks play work ethic things like that so I think he’ll be a welcome addition to the team and I definitely think he’ll help out yeah I agree I I was listening to you before talking about the trade and I
I I share your uh skepticism over it but I do think that you know OG and and at the three and and you know I think Grimes is going to work himself back in that starting five at some point because you’re going to need divon chenzo Off
The Bench with that that instant scoring you might um I think I think eventually we’re going to see Grimes get back into the starting lineup and div Cheno go back to the bench and that’s a pretty good five man you know in you know one healthy too I mean in terms of Defense
You know Mitchell Robinson Randall OG Grimes Brunson and they still got their what is it 11 first round picks and yeah uh they’re still they’re still able to do and and they and they added some cap flexibility with this move as well so I think this is the this is the move
Before the move and I don’t know when that move is coming but um you know I can get on board with it we’ll see how it plays out yeah what do you think about the Knicks signing uh Duce McBride to a three-year $13 million contract extension did that just happen I missed
That that just happened all right good good then I I like du and I think that you know he’s been shooting uh this year he’s shooting 40% from three I mean if he could keep that up for his career he’s gonna have a hell of a career
Because he’s one of the best on ball Defenders I’ve ever seen I’m not just saying that as an embellishment I mean if he could hit the three he’s gonna have a long career uh because he’s exceptional on defense so if he’s if he’s the long-term backup point guard
With Brunson I’m I’m fine with that and then you got Grimes and div chinel with the two you got OG and and Hart at the three and you’ll probably you know with the ninan rotation you’ll probably they’ll probably just do what they were doing here where OG will will be the the
Starting three and the backup four um and that’s how the nin man will will play out and then at the Five Spot you’ll have har and steam and and either you know precious or Sims um in the rotation I think this other guy that they got from from Toronto the the point
Guard he probably won’t make the rotation right I don’t think so uh more news from Adrien wowski the Knicks get a $5.2 million uh trade exception with the deal today the Raptors get a $4.3 million trade exception you know just some some light lose I don’t know how how how would both
Teams get a trade exception I don’t know but according to Wes you said the Knicks 5.2 million and the Raptors 4.3 million created trade exceptions with the deal today I yeah I don’t I don’t understand how both teams get it but apparently it’s possible hey so they both if you could
Combine exceptions that’s that’s 11 million right there you know so you know let’s let’s let’s see what the Knicks do with these with some of these assets they have I mean I’ve been on the the jonte Murray thing for a while because I wanted a really good Defender next to to
Brunson um who could also score and uh I don’t know you know if they’re going to do that that kind of takes the whole that’s kind of it if they make a move I mean he’s he’s available to be traded in another week if they make that move for
Dejonte Murray I’m thinking you know maybe Grimes for in first round picks that’s pretty much the roster that we’re going to be rolling with long term that that’s those are the big moves then you know I don’t see them making another big move after that that’s the starting
Five and then their bench is basically you know Hart de chenzo and and hardenstein when when Mitch gets back yeah so I don’t know if they’re going to do that you know I think they’re I think they’re aiming for I mean if that were the team brunson’s still the number one
Option in my opinion he’s the best scorer on the team probably the whole thing they’re they’re gearing up for to get a guy who could who could be the number one option and Brunson be the number two option that was at least my understanding of what
Their strategy was right right I mean he you know he probably uh is you know he hasn’t been playing like it lately but you know he probably is you know the Knick’s best scorer but you know lately it’s been it’s been Julius Randall do you think that could get to
The finals uh you know all healthy you know Mitch Randall OG Deon Murray Jaylen Brunson with with a with a bench of basically Hart de chenzo and and hartenstein and dece ah I don’t know know I don’t I don’t I don’t know I don’t know that’s a good question
I I guess we’d have to see how well they click you know what I mean obviously defensively they they should be very good defensively you would think they’d be very good defensively how well can they click on the offens offensive side of the ball well you got four guys in the
Starting lineup that you get your 20 yeah yeah H now um let me ask you are you confident that Mitch is going to remain a New York Nick with his injury issues yeah I think you will I I heard a call before say that that this is the
End of Mitch I I don’t see the connection between that at all I really don’t I think they love MIT Robinson I I don’t think they’re gonna move I don’t think they’re in a hard I don’t think they’re in a rush to move him I think
They would if they had to uh but I don’t think they’re going to move him for for a guard uh um you know I think right now two guard is the spot that they’re honed in on it’s like we could this is the next Super you know the Superstar trade
The big trade it’s for it’s for a two guard that’s where that’s where they’re going with it and unless it’s inid or or somebody like that yeah you know in the summer next year or something like that but I don’t see that happening yeah I don’t know this is uh
You know this interesting stuff going on you know the this trade today has been the biggest trade the Knicks have done in how long long time right and and Leon trade it’s the biggest trade of Leon’s time here and and he traded away the crown jewel of all of his drafts Emanuel
Quickley has been the the was the best player he drafted so you know he really believes in OG and I mean his son is his son is OG’s agent the whole thing is a little bit weird to be honest with you a little bit but you know we don’t have to get into
That yeah I me I mean you know La during the off season when OG you know uh uh picked up CAA as his representation obviously people were talking about him coming to the Knicks you know and then that whole thing broke out with Toronto and New York in the
Court battle and everybody including myself was like well you can forget about a trade happening but obviously Leon Rose and and and you know obviously the front officers didn’t care they thought they they like what each other had and wanted to get the job done y this might settle those issues
With them too I don’t know but hey my uh my phone’s going to die I just wanted to say good night and uh they’re going to get a win on Monday I hope so man uh you know that’s that you know who we playing mines Minnesota yeah at home we fin play some
Home games that’s tough one finally right get get a chance to play some home games all these away Road games sheesh no doubt hey Nick I appreciate the time brother take it easy guys all right take it easy peace peace does that lineup make it to the
Finals or do they have the possibility of making it to the finals Jaylen Brunson Deon Murray oan noi Julius Randle Mitchell Robinson and then Off the Bench you got got I would say absolutely okay that’s that’s that’s defense everywhere in the paint you I mean on the perimeter
Um yeah I mean I don’t know if it would take a off season you know I mean because you talking about accenting you know two intrical pieces I don’t know if they could could Jael like within a half a year right but definitely a dangerous roster yeah you know Duce McBride ladies
And gentlemen signs a three-year 13 million contract extension Tony did it happen before the game or after the game and they just announced it that you know this is when they announced it or did they come into the locker room and say herey Deuce here’s your contract sign it right
Now um yeah I think I think they was I think they was uh working out the details you know why while the game was in play yeah and Deuce tonight ladies and gentlemen Duce McBride played how many minutes Deuce played 17 minutes and 35 seconds had five points he was two
For three from the field one for two from the three-point line but you know you’re not you’re not picking up Deuce for him to score you know what I mean that’s that’s not that’s not what you’re picking up dece for uh well not picking him up but you know you got Deuce to
Play defense and anything you can get from him offensively I think the Knicks look at it as a cherry on top and he’s going to be out there basically to distribute that ball to guys like Quinton Grimes and whoever else is out there on the bench that’s going to be his
Job you know what I mean that’s going to be his job looking at the rest of the box score Julius Randle had 28 points uh 12 rebounds four assists for Julius Randle five turnovers on the night all as well for Julius Randle but the Knicks were LED in score
By Dante demenzo now you just heard you know someone talk about Dante Nick talk about Dante going back to the bench if he continues to have scoring outputs like this and I’m not saying 38 points but good scoring outputs it’ll be tough for him to go back to the bench it’ll be
Tough for Tom Tibido to put him back on the bench in my opinion it it will but to be honest him I was actually going to bring that same thing up that same exact thought um and and I mean I was gonna F phrase it in a question do you think
Grimes do you think we’ be better off Grimes defending next to OG defending and may that take a burden off to EAS it easing his offense but to be honest I mean it’s not like his offense really has taken a leap since he went to the
Second year it did that first game and then you know after that it was kind of I mean I think that you know you could still have Dante run with the second unit you know to to to be that scorer out there if you want to
Because you know you you can just leave him out there with the second unit yes I mean somebody that’s his role right someone’s going to have to be there and and then you know he plays his role you could always do that I mean when you look at when you
Look at all these other teams in the league nobody is you know nobody is putting out Five Guys from their second unit some of them aren’t putting out four guys right A lot of times you see two starters out there with three bench players you know what I’m saying you
Know I wouldn’t be put it past Tom tibo going that route at least until he gets bench players that he thinks he needs one of the one of these past two games I don’t remember which one not tonight but one of the previous two games the they had 10 players play in in
In the first quarter who you talking about I don’t remember which the Knicks had T players no not the Knicks I mean I mean but but a lot of teams I mean I mean like you look at the Clippers they did the same thing right they always got
Two starters out there on the floor the Bucks always got two starters the Celtics two star you know a lot of teams you know they got two starters out there on the floor with their bench units you know what I mean you know and that’s always you know Tom Tibido can do that
If he needs to you know what I mean throw you know throw throw two guys out there two starters out there with however that lineup works so you know we’ll we we’ll see how that goes but for the rest of the box score tonight ladies and
Gentlemen like I said Dante D Jen 38 points jayen Brunson had 28 points tonight six assist 10 points from Evan forier came off the bench first minutes in a while Josh Hart had 10 points 10 rebounds all of that’s fine and well just wasn’t enough man the Nicks shot
45.9% from three they shot 47.4% from the field great shooting looks good sounds good all of that stuff but they couldn’t get stops man they couldn’t get stops I mean Indiana was just you know knocking down threes all over the place all over the place and there was nothing n could do
About it because Tyrese halberton just picked them apart picked them apart found every single hole crack and crevice in that defense found somebody waiting to score the ball let me get you a phone call real quick real quick call your live name me where you from please
Uh yeah hello this is uh Ron from Brooklyn or either way still Nick F what’s popping with you brother how you feeling I’m all right man you know what I mean Sim we here we here we trying to talk to you off the ledge this is no the
Ledge day so I don’t know you see a little a little on the ledge earlier hey you know I’m just you know I’m just not sure I just I need to I need to see it in action I need to see OG with the Knicks in action I need to see if it’s
Going to do what I guess the front office and maybe even Tom tiido thinks is going to do I I gotta tell you s I’m I’m feeling really good about it shout out to to Tony shout out to Josh what’s goody um I guess what what’s throwing me off a
Little bit is the a lot of Nick fans are so upset with this trade not not seeming Fair like we gave up too much for OG and precious AA and I’m saying when I first heard the trade I thought it was just I I thought it was
RJ and quickly for for OG and I was like whoa calm down I don’t know about this but then when I heard that precious of was in it I said okay this works because the Knicks obviously the writing’s on the wall as Nick fans we looking at it a
Certain way and so we’re not thinking about it in terms of their the way they’re thinking they obviously knew when they got Dante divon chenzo when they made their initial offer to quickly writing was on the wall we’re not bringing you back so if you go if you
Gonna you know already have that in your minds say I don’t want to lose quickly for nothing and Toronto wants him let’s make the move because the Knicks have been known to lose guys for nothing like why why are we going to put ourselves in that position when this is actually a
Trade that benefits us you throw in a little Malachi Flyn that gives us another body who can who can orchestrate and and move the ball a little bit all right cool I mean he’s got a little bit more game than he’s displayed um so I’m
Not mad at at the at the acquisition but I really don’t think they’re done I think there’s more to this and even if it’s not right now if it’s in the off season I still think the Nicks ain’t done I think they’re setting themselves up um for something and the fact that
They were able to hold on to those first round draft picks is a beautiful thing man as Nick fans we can’t be mad okay so who was the throw in for the Knicks um am Malachi Flynn no I mean for the Knicks what do you mean
Who was the throw in was IQ the throw in or was RJ the throw in oh I believe I actually I believe you know what I mean like I don’t know if in this situation I don’t think there’s a throw in for Toronto I think they legitimately wanted both guys
I think RJ gives them something they could use and definitely gives them something they could use so they’re GNA this is one of those trades where hopefully we can look back and say this is like the Sacramento Indiana trade where both teams benefited I hope so I hope so I’m I’m
I’m withholding I’m withholding judgment right now I’m withholding judgment I’m I’m I still I still have my I still have my reservations what what is it that you’re most concerned about cuz I want to know what’s really bothering you like what what you on the
Fence about uh I mean I like I like OG I like OG right uh but I’m wondering where our bench production comes from I’m wondering where we get that bench boost you know what I’m saying because IQ kept us in a lot of games this season you know what I mean uh
There were I mean there were several games where you know the Knicks big guys just weren’t getting it done IQ you know he got it done until those guys could help him get it done you know and I’m wondering where we I’m just wondering where we get that bench
Boost you know that that’s that’s what I’m wondering where we get that bench boost what if I told what if I told you that I can put somebody in the starting lineup for the Knicks and he’ll be doing great he won’t miss a beat he knows how
To run the plays he fits in with the starters and then I can move another guy to the bench who put up 38 points and might be able to give us some scoring in the same way IQ did what if I told you that Sim I need to see it happen I know
What IQ was giving us I need to see that happen still that’s what I’m saying because is Dante D venzo gonna go back to the bench for real I don’t know man I mean honestly I I think I like where Dante is with the starters um but keep in mind Dante look
Good tonight because we had no ARG right you have one less body getting touches now when you bring in OG is OG a guy who’s gonna command the ball no but those shots in the corner that Dante’s getting were probably gonna be for OG I
Honestly think that if if I was the Nick I’d move Dante back to the bench I mean i’ move Grimes back into the starting lineup because Grimes ain’t doing anything off the bench anyway we thought it would open up his game and he’s gone back the same old garage yeah I mean I
Can see where it makes sense because then Dante Dean chenzo can be that you know that lead guy on the bench but you know I I don’t I don’t think Tom Tibido does it right now to be honest with you I mean I I can see see
Sense my fault s my bad oh have we lost three in a row or four in a row three in a row three three in a row uhuh uhuh the Jackel and hide Nick strike again we we on our roll yeah three in a row three in a row and hopefully we’ll have
OG and precious Monday vers Minnesota you know as long as all physicals and everything go well you know hopefully we’ll have them if not then we’ll be playing with deuce and every well we’ll be playing with Deuce anyway I think CU he just signed a three-year $13 million contract
Extension we’ll be playing with Evan forier out there let me ask you guys a quick question and I’m going let you guys rock because I see Josh is on so I know y’all got some talking to do today today is a big day in Nick sports it was a big day
For all of us I don’t know if you know but uh I broke the news on no the no I’m just joking anyway but um but seriously um how would you guys feel like I know we did get Malachi in this trade too but something’s telling me like the Knicks
Really need to give Deuce that that one more shot man this is the perfect time to get Deuce going and see I guess I guess you ain’t hear the news s break the news to him oh no well wait wait don’t don’t give me no news man going
On you got you had to have heard you heard that douche signed an extension right oh no I didn’t hear it I’ve been busy all day man after I did the show I’ve been doing other stuff no he this just happened after the game oh I mean I don’t know if it happened
After the game but it was reported after the game right you see what I’m saying I didn’t okay three a threeyear $13 million extension that’s nice that’s a good look to Goose and even if even if things don’t work out I I will say I know a lot
Of lot of fans get on the Nicks front office and sometimes they’ve made some mistakes right but what they do do is take care of guys who have been here have who have been team players like even the nerland no well thing when we gave nland money should we have done
That maybe not but it’s hey you broke your back for the team you did what we needed you to do let’s reward you it didn’t work out but you know even with Deuce if it don’t work out with Deuce at least they blessed him man you know
That’s that’s a nice move yeah you know let’s see I mean so I mean I’m assuming that Deuce is going to be even even before the extension I assumed that Deuce was going to be the backup point guard I didn’t think Malachi Flynn was coming in and taking that
Spot okay now now I’m really feeling much better about this I know whiz from La is going to be a he’s going to go crazy uh Andy International Andy might you know make a get a bigger Deuce picture behind him now we’ll see what Happ right yeah no
Doubt anyway I just want to say thank you guys for always being who you are I’m mad that I couldn’t rock with y’all but I don’t know if you can hear I got background noise mother-in-law is killing me right now um so it’s all good baby it’s all good I’m here rocking I’m

Short-handed man you know when came to uh B so kind of fig we’re going to lose mean right now we in a little tough spot when it comes to you know Freer rise and getting these new players in and then our schedule doesn’t get a little easier
Because we got a Tempo was on Monday but we should be having those guys back but yeah man we’re in for a little I think we’re in for a really interesting January yeah of trying of trying to figure us figure where who we are now and and and trying to figure everything out
Um but man it’s it’s been a crazy 12 hours for the Knicks been a crazy 12 hours for the Knicks and um you know what some I gotta say this I gotta say this uhuh goad can Jos hear me he can hear you I can hear
You you know before the trade today I kid you not I I said to myself if I come on Sim show I was going to admit that this might have been the year to trade RJ Barett I you not man stop playing revision is history now all of a sudden
You on the side of the Nicks was going to trade him get get out of here you was not gonna you was not if you were G then why didn’t you text me and say send me the link so you could get on the show
And say get out of here man go I want to hear I don’t even want to hear it but I’m trying to tell you man I was thinking it I was going to come in and say to Josh you got me this year maybe this is the year
Maybe here my here my here’s my thing he’s lying I he’s lying to I’m not lying you’re lying I’m not you’re lying Tony you Tony you believe I’m lying Tony you’re lying believe you’re lying you say you can just say I was right the whole time that’s better than saying
You w always right you w know right you w right I’m team no more right obviously the team feels that way so you know what Jos I’m gonna give you your W today because you know you know I’m I’ve been consistent it’s not like I’ve been back and forth I’ve been
Consistent about this you know I mean so hey hey manen you when you say something so long you know you can end up you end up being right up being right but I’m G say this about RJ man and I hope this for RJ because this can change him from being a
Starter to a very decent good backup he got to get consistent you know that that’s the big that’s not our problem no more what do you think about Oobi that’s not that’s not the Nick’s problem anymore what do you think about OG and Obi listen
Man I’m gonna say the same thing I said on G mro earlier OG’s the first to get us either Donovan Mitchell or we’re going to get EX player I like OG a lot OG is one of the best defenders in the league I think o I
Think OG is GNA be a silent killer for this team you know my my the great thing about OG I’m looking you know he has 15 points but he’s almost shooting 50% from the field great three and D play this is the play that we’ve been needing this is the play I’ve been
Screaming for the nigas to have I’ve been talking about this for a long time about the [ __ ] getting Wing players I believe you know especially now depending on what the ncks do I mean I’m not going to say that they have any more Wing players than they had
Before I mean we got one now now I’m in the philosophy of believing we need about two one more to I think we need two more Wing players just because of the way the NBA is going about Wing players being the most needed to me in this
League um but OB o OG’s a great first start man I like him a lot again I’m big on the 15 I’m he pretty much shooting 50% from the field you know he gets his 15 points he’s a he plays great defense he’s one of the best perent defenders this was a
This was a this was a great trade for the Knicks a great trade for the Knicks quickly wasn’t I mean I mean it was plain it was plain as day quickly wasn’t gonna be part of the team you know once to me once I seen them sign divon Cheno and they didn’t
Extend him it was pretty much yo quickly you’re not going to be part of this team I got to say I do respect professionalism between him and R.J this season that that’s you know you didn’t hear people about them uh complaining you know so I do respect
That but I’m I’m excited for this team son because I believe from now I think we’re gonna really have a quiet trade deadline in February I think we’re gonna be quiet maybe just trade uh Evan but man I mean summertime him I’m excited I mean I hate to go that far but
I think we’re going to see the second part of this trade during the summer okay so what’s that mean for the rest of this season I think you figured out what you got man because I mean right now you got to figure out what kind of team you are
You gotta figure out what kind of team you are I I do think the Knicks will make the playoffs I do believe that we might have to fight we might have to fight hard towards the end because right now we’re in the I think we’re the seventh or eighth seed right
Now we got a climb back to get to that six to the top six which is doable but I want to see this team in the playoffs and then you got to re-evaluate the team with Mitchell Robinson and then you got to reevaluate again whenever you
Do get EX player during the summer to complete this trade because like I said before I think there’s more moves coming um but you gotta be but I think right now you’re G to be testing the team like I said January is going to be an interesting month for the Knicks
Because I think they’re going to be see you’re going to see who they are and then Fe I think you’re going to try to see if you can get a Groove going in February and then battle out to get that to get the top six spot in March and in
April it’s gonna be it’s gonna be interesting season now it’s gonna be more interesting than it ever was yeah well we we we’ll we’ll see we we’ll see how things go but I will say this I’m giving Jose’s flowers I’m G give Jose flowers today he was
Right I’m I’m a man I Adit when I’m I admit when I’m wrong no you didn’t admit when you was wrong you were ready you you you were trying to now side with Josh and say I was going to come on here and I was going to Say first first of all you should have gave it to that caller earlier I’m giving it to you cuz cuz cuz you trying to you know now you trying to switch your story I’m not Swit no no no no no I don’t switch my story would listen let’s be very play there were
Times in Josh is wrong when Ben and RJ wasn’t the best option or taking him or taking him to the G League swi story I I never said him going to the G League now you trying to switch it back now you’re trying to switch it back you’re just
Trying to make yourself look good no no no no no listen see see the problem is people you act like people can’t change S I was gonna come here and say this JW I thought this was the year to trade RJ but you’re only doing it
After the fact you’re doing it after the fact you didn’t come on and say it before the trade you should have came out and said it before the trade I didn’t get a chance to see see see the problemy S you should have came out you
Should have came on two days ago and said it okay now now you come and say I was thinking about saying this I was thinking about saying that I was thinking this yeah big Big Bubba is the dude that be like yo I was going to play those numbers exactly
Exactly exactly first of all I was going to play those numbers but you know I exactly exactly but but anyway look man today today is Jorge day I ain’t gonna ruin it today’s Jorge day you was right about RJ you right all I was saying was there
Are certain thing I was gonna say before that but you know it’s okay because nobody’s gonna believe me now just saying next time don’t be afraid to say you’re take in um see see I’m Not Afraid oh who well now well well you don’t want to come out
Until now anyway man get off my line anyway Hey listen have so please go off the line so I can get my take all right all right I just want to say one more thing man Sim it’s been one heck of a year for you we gonna get the channel
Back don’t worry we gonna get that channel back I a worry about that we gonna fight some dudes but we G get channel back I just want to say Happy New Year to you Tony you Jos Sim you know Happy New Year everybody to the next family Happy New Year we have we
Going have we GNA have a better year next year because nbk is going to the next level and everybody know that and we G have fun we appre let’s go peace peace peace that dude goe Josh yeah I I don’t know what he was talking about but um uh
Salute to everybody first of all um this whole thing with Miles McBride this contract all this tells me is that he can’t be moved before the deadline right so probably for the rest of this year he might be the backup point guard um I still think there’s a chance it could be
Malachi Flynn because I think they’re basically the same type of player right really defensive oriented that kind of thing I think dece is a little bit better personally but um all this this deal this extension tells me he can’t be moved but I think this is more of a PR
Thing with the Duce with The Duce contract think about it that when when they gave RJ Barrett that Extinction right after they couldn’t land on the MIT they submitt the statement oh you know we value our you know young players and we believe RJ bar is going to be the
Future of the organization and less than a year later he’s gone he’s out the door right so I don’t think that this means that D McBride is going to be the backup point guard for the future I gu think for this year you can probably plug him
Into that role but even then that’s not really guaranteed right um I want people to kind of think about this for a second remember that first trade that was reported uh you know for Donovan Mitchell how it was Mitch RJ OB and IQ and and four whatever amount of first
Round picks and everybody was like no that’s our future and everything like that three out of three out of four of those players are gone three out of four of those players are now gone a year later right so I say that to say that I’m not saying that you
Know I’m notate right it was the Knicks didn’t make the trade because of those players they didn’t make the trade because of the picks no I get that my point is and I’m not advocating for that trade or saying that the niick should have done it what I’m saying is based
Off of that alone if that was the report that was out there and the Knicks offered that and you and Utah said no that should have told you that the Knicks weren’t really prioritizing trying to keep a lot of these young players here you know what I mean and
Then over time you got Replacements like even though I don’t agree with the Josh and Dante D venzo thing for quickly they brought those guys in right um RJ you know he’s in the OJ and OB TR bringing somebody in for him Obie Randle was already here you know what I mean so
This team in the front office is not thinking about you know prioritizing young players and and keeping these young players in a roster for the future they’re will they’re you know willing to move some of these guys so I think everyone should kind of look at that as
Like the marker of like this team is not really trying to stay put they trying to make some moves I’m just glad that they finally did it and made the move um in order to get better um but I’m not looking at du MC BR just his contract extension has been anything meaningful
Except he can’t be moved before the deadline well nobody’s saying he’s um indispensable yeah but I think he’s going to be the backup point guard for this year oh yeah I mean yeah you know I think that you know I think that gives him some uh you know you know some
Stability where now okay I feel kind of stable let me just settle in focus in on my role here do what I got to do you know what I’m saying so I can play my best and then you know obviously you know it can go on from there it’s I mean
It’s it’s 4 point whatever million a year which is a tradable contract you know something that can make money’s match and things like that obviously you know what I mean right they did the same thing with Jericho Sims they gave him a little contract extension and stuff like
That and he can rarely see the court but I think you know that that goes beyond without saying so oan noi he is eligible this offseason to get the Julius Randle contract where randle’s getting now so it’ll be four years 117 or something like that which I think that’s what he’s
Gonna ask for um and I think the Knicks are probably they probably already had it worked out that they’re gonna sign him right whether he you know opsed uh to next year and has the four years after that or you know without it so that’s going to happen the next step for
This team in my opinion is to go out and trade Evan F’s contract because if they don’t then all that talk about Evan for being a good move I know we were all having that conversation before and that his contract is movable and all that stuff if you can’t move his contract now
At this ver at this point then that’s a that’s a failed move that that’s a failure because then you’re not you’re not even playing them you know what I’m saying so um they have to move Evan for’s contract in my opinion or else
That move is gon to be looked at as a as a tremendous failure in my opinion well we’ll see what happens or they might pick or they might pick up his option big big shout out to l Lou CZ thank you for the cash app earlier today I appreciate
It $20 cash app I definitely appreciate you definitely appreciate you ladies and gentlemen you can always support the channel cash app is dollar sign nothing but Nicks PayPal is paypal.me butnick as you know the Channel’s been demonetized so any way you can support us we definitely appreciate it ladies and
Gentlemen and the only reason why I say that about Evan forier is you know if they feel like something if they feel like there’s something that is brewing they could decide to pick up the uh option so that he can be tradable for next season as well that that’ll have to happen before
A certain time period though samim mind you free agency starts on July 1 so they would have to pick it up before yeah like July yeah he got they got like June whatever whatever the date is that they would have to pick it up but and then
And then if they do that then that means they better get a deal done they better get a deal done because what that does is now you you sign you pick up Evan for’s option you going to the luxury tax you going to the first apron not just
The luxury tax you going to the first apron and you still have that guy on the roster you know what I’m saying so they better get a deal done but uh right now is the best time to tra to move him in my opinion right now it’s the best time
To move because you don’t have to worry about that right this would be the time to move and we’ll see if they can get something done with Evan forier uh but you know if they don’t then I’m pretty sure they’ll be negotiating with teams during the draft right because obviously you can
Make moves then right you know what I’m saying and if you know you hear that they’re picking up his option then you know you might know it might clue you off to there’s a move that’s going to there’s a move you know what I’m saying and then if that didn’t happen you know
They they would still have during the offseason to make a move with him but I think that’s the only way that they would pick up his option is if they think they have a move and they got to use his money in the move it’s the only way that I would
See it getting done yeah that’s the only way for I’m just saying they better they better make that move because then you just SE yourself up whole bunch of problems you know you you have Evan for on the roster you pick up his option next year and then you’re not going to
Play him you’re into Luxy tax you’re much more restricted than what you can do as far as trades are concerned and then on top of that o and anobi um you know his pending contract I think they’re gonna actually sign him to that contract and then after that you got
Randall and Brunson who are going to ask for $200 million the following offseason you know what I mean so the following seon but cont be off his contract would be off by that following off seon because it’s only one year but then exactly but what I’m saying is if you’re
Not bringing anybody else in and you’re just going to let him walk like you know how is your team improving you’re just putting yourself into a luxur tax situation get I get that I get that no I agree you would have to make something happen but it wouldn’t affect Julius
Randle and Jaylen Brunson in their contract situation no no no I’m saying that the whole contract thing about them getting their contracts it’ll affect the team because then you can’t get better like you’re not using every 4 Year’s money if you can let him walk right and
You know you pick up his option for next year you can’t really do anything else can’t really make too many moves without cutting up the core and like getting rid of Josh har be chenzo stuff like that right so I think right now it’s the best opportunity for them
To use Evan for’s money um and if they don’t use it that’s yeah we GNA talk about that but that’s that’s later on down the road so we’ll see I mean you know if they don’t use it then they gota uh let them go that’s the only thing
They can do if they don’t use they got to let them go you know what mean they got to let them go let me get your a caller caller you’re live name me where you from please hey this is Jay Le from FC hey what’s going on brother how you
Feeling man I’m feeling all right man I’m not in panic mode I know that you know it’s kind of like you know sometime you got to just sit back and understand the landscape of things that’s going on you know um these teams are getting bigger man you know I notice that every
Night when we go out there man it always seems like you know we’re munchkins compared to everybody you know we got to get bigger you gotta have people that are more aggressive that don’t give up and quit on defense you know um those are like ingredients to like
Championship teams you know you pick any of the sports all sports have defense you know I’ll give tibs that but you also need somebody who doesn’t need as many shots from that three spot because I think I think sometimes RJ was feeling the pressure of trying to be the number
Two trying to be the number one he didn’t appreciate being slated as that that number three man no more he didn’t appreciate that I don’t think and it seemed like a lot of times he would push you know there was a lot of times where he would get to the basket have people
Open and still wouldn’t even look anymore because he thought he had to put up the points you know I I think he’s gonna be much better off where he went I think um if anybody didn’t know that quick wasn’t coming back you just don’t follow Sports period you know um you
Bring in divon chenzo I mean h you even they even signed Josh har and didn’t talk to quick or nobody you know they signed Josh hard they bought in De chenzo it was kind of like I already knew quickly wasn’t gonna get resigned if he didn’t get signed when they first
Had that first opportunity to sit down to sign him he wasn’t G get signed but to me 25 million is ridiculous for a backup you know I get to 20 points coming off the bench and this and that but I just think 25 million is outrageous for any backup point guard or
Any backups I mean especially with y’all saying the Landscapes changing with the way you can sign people now I think that would have handicapped us I mean literally like we would have been we’ have had a backup and only really two people that we consider starters you
Know that can score I think that that wouldn’t have worked for us I don’t I think that would have really ruined our our whole team but um I also want to give credit to the front office I think a lot of times we think they’re playing playing checkers because they don’t tell
Us everything they’re about to do but in reality they’re kind of playing chess because I believe that lawsuit personally it’s my personal thing I believe that lawsuit was put into play to cause pressure because it seems like it’s like why else would they deal with us if we suing them unless somehow some
Way that’s going to walk out the back door somewhere without anybody knowing about it somewhere I just have a strange feeling that play a big part in this deal because it’s kind of like one minute we’re suing you and y’all don’t want to have anything to do with us now
All of a sudden you give us this guy at a basically on a deal that you wouldn’t even thought about giving it to us last year because I believe last year was like three number ones they wanted from you know and they were talking about three number ones and a player now all
Of a sudden it’s like just give us RJ we’ll take quickly and a second like something’s not lining up with me yeah I think they were probably kind of desperate because you know he can he can just lead this off season so right you know and they thinking he wasn’t gonna
Come back yeah I don’t think he was going back yeah oh I don’t think he was going back because I I know that he’s he’s made it clear that he always would take a little Paya even to be with the Knicks like he wanted to be with the Knicks
Which is why um he stepped away from um from clutch because I think at that time ni clutch was beefing so much that it was hard for them to even sit down at the table even get him a deal right you know with New York um I also noticed um
That they were talking about recently um clutch and Leon sitting down to the table right you know which which caught me off guard a little bit then I thought about it I was like well maybe Murray wants to come to New York too because that was the talk uh originally when he
Was in San Antonio and then they made the swing to Atlanta you know and they try to Hype it up and say how him and Trey want to play together and it that’ss good friends all of a sudden out the blue but I I think
In in general if you watch the the games lately like I really see OG could have helped us even in a game like tonight you know where you just wantan to stop their number one player you know we need somebody who’s just a stopper you know
And we don’t we didn’t have that like I would have lik to see how him and Quinton Grant interact like if he goes into the second unit here and there like how RJ used to I would love to see like him uh him har and uh and uh even chenzo
And different guys like interacting who really play defense and really hustle I think that might be an interesting twist for the second unit too you know where you can actually put a second unit on the floor that can lock them you know and and take control of the game just a
Few thoughts that I had you know thinking about it um but I I think overall man we was never gonna resign quickly um and I just don’t think RJ was really a fit with Brunson and Randle at first it was Randall but and when you added JD I
Really don’t think it was a fit you know so I think everybody benefited from the move to be honest I I think it’s it’s a break even Ty move you know um but I do agree with you guys I don’t think uh miles will see six months of that
Contract I I definitely believe that you know as soon as I think he I think that were already have moves that we don’t know about already laid out that they have to do certain things in order to make sure things move the way teams are going to want to move and the money
Needs to move I just I don’t see I see them like literally um kind of we’re gonna have a different team by the time we turn around next year it’s gon to look a little different it’s G to be stronger defensively and I think a little better offensively too you know
That’s I hope so I hope so hopefully this is just the first Domino to fall if it’s not it makes no sense then if it’s not if this is the only move you decided to make I don’t see where any of this factors in I I I don’t
See why where that would work at all I I I think you either got to go after Murray or you have to go after Mitchell if it’s Mitchell it’s going to be a summertime move if it’s Murray it’s gonna probably be by the allstar break
So I I just think either way you gotta make another move there’s there’s no way you leav it here I don’t see it oh yeah no I definitely agree with you you got to make another move no doubt about that you know we’ll see what it is but hey my
Man I appreciate the time appreciate the call all right guys y’all stay up there peaceful Happy New Year to you brother peace all right appreciate you yeah Tony told you Tony Tony you was about to say something before my man jumped on the no I I was
Going to ask you to guess who the two happiest nbk members are Josh today Josh is definitely one Jos is happy boy Josh is is Happy feeling good Baby like RJ G is like is happy I mean it’s not it’s not okay I’ll admit I am a little
Happy I a little You’ been cheating the whole time you talking about I am a little bit happy it ain’t because of RJ it ain’t because of RJ it’s just because like everything that I’ve been saying like everything that I’ve been saying not not not necessarily about RJ but
About the team and what they’re trying to do has like really is happening in front of our face literally literally these young players that everybody wants to hold on to gone gone it’s okay saying as as long as long as they pick the direction and and
This is the direction they want to go let’s keep it going and I agree with the caller if this is the only move it really wouldn’t make sense it really would not make sense in my opinion because what what contracts are you gonna move uh next off season if it
Ain’t F if it ain’t F what are you gonna move right what do you have to move you know what I’m saying and and number one gota be Andy because he got IQ out of here and du SC extended that’s like a double whammy for him you
I mean it’s like his birthday and Christmas on the same day right right big shout out to Gary Joiner peace to you bro thank you for the cash app definitely appreciate your support uh looking at the game stats ladies and gentlemen 40 assists for Indiana 22 of them or whatever it was
For 23 of them for Tyrese halberton it’s crazy it’s ni we don’t get 23 as a team you know what I’m saying like 23 as a team is like that might be a good night for US 23 assists for tyus halber 40 for the Indiana Pacers the offense is is is
Definitely nuts uh they shot 59% from the field they shot 54% from three they shot 81% from the free throw line the Knicks 47% from the field 46% from three 70% from the free throw line you know the you know the thing is this ain’t the first team to shoot like this against
The Knicks I mean that’s that’s crazy shooting numbers hopefully OG will help us at least a little bit 140 and you know this scoring like there going going on around the league but I don’t care about the league I care about what the Knicks do
You got to find a way to stop these teams from scoring buckets like that because the teams that are going to win the championship they’re going to get stops well Sam you want a defense right so here we are right you want a defense they got o and Obi improve the defense
Take away from the offense a little bit let’s say the ncks can be able to do something this is what you want so I mean I mean we we we we improved in one unit hopefully well we should get better defensively in the second unit or stay the same
With Duce if Deuce is going to be that point guard stay the same with Duce right at least because you know he’s a good Defender you know but but we we we’ll see if it takes away offensively you know still I I still think around
115 is the sweet spot for the Knicks it might change now with OG we’ll see you know how that looks we’ll see how that looks hey you know every time we we we try to run up a score with with teams we we give up 140 points we can’t we
Can’t do it that’s not who we are it’s because we’re it’s because we’re small them that’s what I what I’m trying to say it’s because we’re small I don’t believe I if if it’s because we’re small that we’re not getting stops cool whatever we got to get stops we got to get
Stops we can’t give up 140 points and expect to win I that goes with without saying that’s that’s obvious what I’m saying is it’s because the is small and that’s the reason why well they were small and that’s the reason why they were giving up 140 points to like year or or
Whatever to OKC three players over 610 in their stting lineup Boston big size difference Milwaukee Minnesota it’s because we’re small the Knicks you know before this trade I would say um they’re they can’t match up with those teams the matchups don’t don’t line up and in the playoffs that’s what’s been happening I
Mean if that’s the case I’m going to be honest I mean if if that’s the case I don’t don’t I I don’t I mean OG got a longer wingspan but I don’t believe that we added that much more length we just added one guy yeah but you take him out the
Starting lineup for somebody like RJ you take out RJ Barrett and put in OJ anobi that makes us much better defensively you I’m not talking about defensively I know it makes us better defensively I’m talking about the size right I don’t think the size is that much of a
Difference he has a bigger wingspan but we didn’t add size to Julius Randall we didn’t add size to jayen Brunson we didn’t add size to Dante de venzo we didn’t add to none of those position positions we added to we added a few more inches to one position to the most
Important one the one that across the league where you got most of the wings or 69ine 610 that he can be able to and guard up and that he can be able to switch the whole thing about size is you make you make yourself defens defensively more versatile I understand I understand that
I just don’t think we added that much more size I’m sorry I don’t I still think we’re small we’ll be better defensively but I don’t think we added that much more size Jaylen Brunson is still 61 62 Dante de venio is still 6’4 Julius Randle is still 68 could
Could RJ Barett could RJ Barrett defend fours and fives could he do that no no can OJ and OB do that maybe fours not fives I do not see him guarding fives unless it’s a small five he’s 67 240 I don’t see him guarding fives you’re not putting him on
Joel ID you’re not putting him on Joel embiid who you putting on yourm that’s hyperbole I’m saying you said f i don’t I don’t see I do not see Tom Tibido putting OG and and Obi on fives he’s not doing it but he can put but he can put
Josh hard on fours and RJ Barrett on fours really are you serious I do not see him putting oan and Obi on here’s what I say I think see him I can see him I can see him guarding both a bamat Bou and uh Jimmy Butler that’s the that’s the point you
Trying to make yeah yeah talk about that’s why you need length there I I’m just I know why you need length I don’t think he adds and gives us that much more length that’s what I’m saying he gives us more I don’t think it’s that
Much more I don’t think we get that much more long still need another guy like that yes I’m saying I don’t think we got that much longer I don’t you know you know people say oh we we got length now no we added a couple inches to one
Guy can can he be more versatile no I don’t think it’s enough I I do think it’s enough I think it’s abolutely I don’t think it’s enough absolutely can I ask you guys something um the same package would you have preferred Brandon Brandon Ingram yeah oh yeah easy the same
Package the same package oh yeah yeah yeah I would have I you know I or or or better yet would you have would you have added a first or or you know I mean would you have increased the package yes I I I would too honestly like I would I
Would have uh I would have I would have increased the package and I probably wouldn’t be as upset about the um losing IQ and I think IQ would have fit there as well you know what I mean I don’t know I don’t know how to Bear it you know I
Mean um all all I’m saying is for since since RJ Barrett was put to the three position right um and that’s not even his natural position when a lot of people say he needs to be playing at the two and all that stuff the Knicks were at a disadvantage at that position
Particularly because that is the position particularly in the front Court where there’s a lot of length around the league now you take him out and you add a guy with more length right who can be able to defend fours and fives that increases the Knicks length tremendously
And that helps him be better defensively not just because of the length itself because the Knicks can be more versatile they can switch more like when you see the Knicks play defense right now play the drop coverage leave these people open from three they don’t necessarily
Have to do that anymore because you got a guy who can switch do I guarantee look at Milwaukee look look at milwa look at Milwaukee you got Giannis Brook Lopez and Chris Middleton 69 610 all three of those in the front Court the Nicks don’t match up well with them
That’s why we have trouble with them and and I don’t think we match up and that’s what I’m saying with OG you just I mean Rand do is still 68 and he’s still matching up with a 610 one of Yiannis right right right I mean I I
Still don’t think I I’m still not seeing that you have this much more length all right let me ask you guys we’re better defensively I don’t see that we have that much more length that it changes I don’t see this changing our season significantly right now well need more
More length too I don’t see it changing our season significantly I don’t think it’s it’s not just about the length that makes the Knicks contend they also need ball and guys that can put the ball in the hole so it’s two parts to that situ there’s two parts to that right so Tony
For your example Brandon Ingram someone who is 610 right maybe not the best defender but because of his length the Knicks can be able to use him at that spot and he has ball handling ability to me I think that can take the Knicks to a next level but because ogi right is
Limited offensively he’s not that high usage I think chenzo can shoot the air out the ball he can shoot great but he’s not a ball handler right I think we’re still Limited in that fact and we have to go make another move but I think we are better defensively than we were
Yesterday much better defensively because we haven’t touched the floor yet let’s see it okay not only that you’re the one that wanton the defense I’m not saying I don’t I know I know what OG is I’m not gonna say what we are yet because we haven’t touched the floor right if if
You think we’re much better defensively do you think we lost anything offensively oh yeah you lost the ball handler quickly no doubt no doubt and but you think the defense offsets it um I mean for me personally I’m not all about like the whole Sim thing playing
Defense to win games I’m not all about that personally so I don’t think the defense offsets it but uh we still need to go out and get another ball hand and and and to to me this move like like like the caller said earlier like you
Got I think this move has to be a prerequisite for the next one because as as stand as we stand I don’t think this moves the needle this you mean for the rest of the season oh yeah for sure we we we like it doesn’t to though but it doesn’t
Have to like like like what a lot of people say when the niick Mak trades okay so for example like um when the Knicks make whatever trade that they make let’s say or or they acquire a player like Evan for or something like that right A lot of people would say
Well that that’s not going to move the needle he’s not that much better but you guys will Advocate that that person’s better than the player he’s replacing right so it doesn’t have to move the needle as far as taking us to another round in the playoffs but it makes the
Team better right so this is the same situation how how come you guys can apply that logic because I’m saying I don’t know how much better we are that’s what I’m saying I I don’t know how much better we are okay that’s what I’m saying if we’re better to be honest
Right I mean I’m just pushing back on this because you’re the one that we advocating for defense know what I’m advocating for we get and and we get a defensive guy that’s better than RJ Barrett at defensively and we lose some offense you this is you want to play so
I mean I just don’t understand the reservation you want to play defense I know but it’s not all I I never said it’s all about the defense all about defense so don’t put that in my mouth I’ve never said that what I’m saying is about what I’m saying is what I’m saying
Is there’s a pace that I think the Knicks play would the way that they were current that way they were constructed a pace that they played offensively and defense that defensively that work together and it was not scoring 126 points I didn’t think that because I
Felt like when they scored 126 127 128 they couldn’t keep up with other teams so I felt like the 115s 116s was a good pace and place for the Knicks so that they could play better defense and offense and I felt like that was a sweet spot for
Them so I wanted the pace to be there right hold hold on that I think they’re much better suited now to play that style they were before but I I wanted the pace to be there right I agree that OG brings in more defense but does what he does his
Chemistry offensively with that first team offset what we lose and also quickly who also played defense but also bring brought you offense does it offset it or do we have enough to make up for that so that’s where my reservation is and that’s where I’m not sure if we’ve
Made that much of an improvement cuz I don’t know can we offset what he manual quickly brought to the team we’ll see if we can if we do maybe we do well well I don’t think we can I don’t think we can replace Emanuel quickly you guys were
Also advocating for Dante Dem Kenzo being the I’m saying offset I didn’t say replace him can we offset what we lost with him not replace Emanuel quickly and what he does but offset what we brought with the rest of the team I understand that this is what I’m trying to say
Earlier in the season you guys were saying that Dante D chenzo can be that other ball handler right the Nicks chose Josh and Dante Dean chenzo over Emanuel quickly that’s why he didn’t get paid and they had to move him right so if Dante D chenzo is gonna be that guy and
He can have a night like tonight where the production was high even though it was in catch and Sho let’s see let’s see if that can happen but if not we don’t have we don’t have we don’t have no choice but to see but even if even if Emanuel you’re still losing Emanuel
Quickly and you’re still losing some production we never wanted deante to replace to replace him quickly but that’s literally what happened because the Knicks couldn’t sign Emanuel quickly because they gave him that okay that’s all good cool what I’m saying is I don’t know if by losing him and bringing in OG
And losing RJ alog together we got better because Dante’s on the team regardless he was there before the trade and there after all stuff goes hand in hand that’s what I’m saying I’m not looking at this move by itself I’m looking at all that stuff it goes hand
In hand that’s the reason why the Knicks made this move literally or one of the reason saying get better did we get better I don’t know that we got that much better that’s what I’m saying for for me I feel like for for us to definitively have gotten
Better number one OG’s gonna have to do what he does defensively so his reputation is going to have to carry over but I think he’s have to take a step offensively at the very at the very least that doesn’t even um replace Quickly’s production or or but I think
He’s he’s still gonna have to put up better production than the numbers he’s he’s given now he’s he’s been on record as wanting a bigger role you know what I mean so M maybe maybe he gets RJ usage and maybe if he’s getting RJ’s usage with the same uh percentages that he’s given
Historically that’ll that’ll make him into a different player you know what I mean so so I’m not dependent on him to do any of that I’m not dependent on him to do any of that if you’re talking about this trade specifically I can see where you’re coming from about you’re
Not knowing how much better or if this team even got better at all but I’m looking at it the Knicks made this as a piece and they have to make another move to bring in that ball handler to replace quick Le’s production and his style of
Play that’s what they have to do because if they stop here then then I then you’re right Sim what was the point know what I’m saying then you would be right at that point but I’m looking at as far as totality not just this particular
Move all all that we have no idea what the next move is or neither do I ne but I get it Tony neither do I I’m telling you you got Blind Faith and you you done you done got on me about Blind Faith in the past and this this sound like like
You you’re the one with the Blind Faith now I I don’t have it’s not about Blind Faith I’m just telling you what I think should be done it’s not about Blind Faith I’m not depending on o and and Obi to you know take the next step offensively if he does cool I’m not
Depending on that but I’m saying all these moves that came up to this point the same stuff y were arguing me about about Dante Dean chenzo his contribution and what you know what the team needs and stuff like that literally we’re at this point right now so if we’re gonna
You know be at this point let’s continue to be aggressive and make moves that’s all I’m saying I don’t know what’s going to happen but I’m telling you if it doesn’t happen then that’s a problem that’s a problem because what’s the point if you don’t think the team is
That is that much better right now and you gave away Emanuel quickley who’s the best player in the trade that’s all I’m saying yeah that’s all yeah the best play how does that like yeah POS possibly the best player in the trade and we chose two veteran players
Over him and gave them money instead of him yeah possibly the best guy happen you know that’s all you know that’s all I’m saying just like you say you know if the Knicks don’t do something with d it’s the same thing okay if we brought in and we don’t do anything
Else and where we at you know I mean exactly and where we at exactly where we at shout out to Joelle thank you for your support you hit me with a PayPal $15 PayPal he said thanks for the time and hard work you put in for the Knicks
Thank you for supporting me Joel I definitely appreciate it uh 100% we get you a call uh DJ shuttle what’s popping brother brother how you you feeling all AB board new year new Nicks let’s go what’s happening with you my man not going on I’m sure there’s a lot
Of arguing all the way around Nick’s Nation I I’m I’m pretty I’m pretty excited and I just can’t hide it um I’m I’m going to consider myself part of nbk fam and I likely am right up there with the most happy uh Folk about this deal getting
Done the RJ side of it not the quickly side of it yeah I know told me that ear has quickly has definitely grown on me and um you know he’s improved his play and it’s like it’s it’s no question about it he’s a fan favorite and
Deservedly so um but just a couple of things as I’ve been listening then I just want to quickly touch on uh one um I think the team did get bigger because when you have a a guy like OG that can uh can guard up it also allows
When you have a bench player for example like Hart that comes in now Hart’s not going to be defending the power forwards and if OG’s doing it he’s going to do a better job than Hart is and Hart’s probably kind of off power forward defensive duties not to mentioned I
Didn’t hear any I didn’t hear anyone talk about the uh other player precious that is also part of this deal he’s actually a decent Defender and um I expect that he’s going to get some minutes at at Power Forward likely even more than Center so I think that also
Helps and uh I ALS I know I came in a little bit late and I didn’t hear any mention that we were able to get this deal done without moving any first round picks right so right we talked about that earlier but oh okay yeah so you
Know but that that to me is like you know the cherry on top with getting this deal done so now if you’re dealing forier or you know if you’re trying to do anything else during this season now for example like there’s a lot of talk
About Murray so now if you do this F for Murray thing and you gotta include two first round picks you ain’t really tripping because you still got a gang of picks left on Deck still you know what I mean so um I definitely kudos to the
Front office uh Randall and RJ have been a horrible a horrible pair uh out there together and RJ’s just kind of been horrible on his own so you know and not not just this year just like for a couple of years uh going on two and a
Half years so uh I’m just happy that the front office didn’t uh you know feel like oh we drafted him third he’s The Golden Child he’s the future you know that whole narrative that he just became this like supposedly Untouchable player and based on his play that should have
Been the farthest thing from the truth and um you know I I’m I’m excited that we actually have a guy that can defend the one the two the three and some of the fours like I mean like the defensive versatility that this guy’s going to bring is is great and and hopefully
It’ll help some of the other players play better defense too so um I I I think it was a good deal I gave it a B+ rating and um yeah we won’t know till we know but I like what we have at this point and with the de with what we lose
With quickly I I just hope that you know the efficiency of OG what he replaces with RJ’s inefficiency uh is part of that I feel like Dante a few more minutes now in the game will be part of that and um you know and hopefully between Duce and or
Flynn they fill in some of the minutes and you know and they they do their part there I mean quickly will definitely be best but um I wouldn’t put him in the category of like we can’t live without him yeah I tell you what OG is definitely a
Leon Rose guy you know uh you know and a TI and a tips guy and and the tips guy and the tips guy right you know you know character High character guy um you know you know basically you know stays out stays out of the Limelight and and all
That kind of stuff he he definitely fits the type of players that Leon Rose envisions I’m assuming bringing into the organization and continuing to bring it into the organization so I’m hoping for the listen you know I’m a nick nick fan through and through and you know I always like
OG you know I wanted to you know I I didn’t want to give up IQ and RJ to get them one of them would have been good for me but we’ll see what happens hopefully like everyone’s saying there’s going to be more things to come and you know I’m hoping that they come
Soon or yeah you know or or you know because we don’t see everything that’s happen that happens in practice this that and everything you know it opens the door for somebody else to flourish a little bit cuz that could have happened too and I’m not talking about Deuce you know
Other guys you know open the door for them to flourish a little bit who are the other guys you know Dante could flourish a little bit more more Touches for Dante possibly maybe you know in that second unit like we talked about earlier today uh Q gets a few more
Looks you know what I’m saying or or or doesn’t feel as though you know one person is you know he’s relying on just one person you know we’ve seen from time to time when he’s not out there with RJ and Randall and brunon or with IQ that
He’s a little bit more aggressive so maybe he opens up to be a little bit more aggressive that you know okay like that yeah that I that I could definitely see and and Q def is certainly uh more aggressive more assertive and it just overall plays better when he’s not on
The callt with Randle yeah so uh uh what was the other thing ah man I just lost it um ah man I just lost it I just lost it yeah yeah so you know may you know we we’ll see you know we’ll see how how how
How it all hopefully we get a chance to see it Monday you know what I mean listen everybody pass their physicals and uh new year new Nicks I’m excited can’t hide it looking forward to it uh year five you can’t make layups you know like come on this is like enough like like
How how long are we supposed to wait oh I mean obviously we we didn’t but but the fans but the fans were like no we can’t we can’t trade this guy like like how could we how can we not trade a guy that’s in year five that has trouble
Making layups that doesn’t have a mid-range pull-up shot that’s poor defensively uhuh like like like I don’t know what people were watching like what were y’all watching those that that said RJ can’t and shouldn’t be traded but y’all wanted to trade Randall H crazy right sh was crazy right well
You know I mean but I mean but the Knicks have to get better in order in order for you know everyone to say well it was worth doing it the Knicks have to get better they have to get better too they have to get better I mean you know on
Paper it would say more I would say I would say get more not better get more I don’t know what that means I just think they I think they got to get I I think they I for me for me I want to see him get better now though before they get
More I I I want to see him get better now because we’re saying that OG we’re saying that OG is a better fit better than RJ we just named all the stuff that RJ can’t do well then the Knicks should get better now well that team right line the
Starting lineup better and then and that and that’s what that was the point that I lost but the the point was like I I I keep hearing this repeated thing about the second unit the second unit the second unit like yo listen we we have to
Get I believe we have to clear our minds of this whole thought that this second unit thing where uh I think it was this guy Jeff with doo sports that put it uh that put it very well earlier it’s not like hockey where it’s like all right
Five Guys in Five Guys out like that doesn’t really happen so to me a whole Narrative of the second unit the second unit second unit I don’t I’m not bored into that whole concept because you you and and I’ve coached too and I’ve played
So I know how this goes you bring in you you put in a rotation where you have a mix of subs and a mix of starters and I’m sorry I’ll take five great starters versus in a in a so so bench versus an average starting lineup
And oh we get an amazing bench you I’m not worried about the bench can I get five great starters to get me off to an amazing start to the game consistently that can close games out that’s what I want okay so then we should get better
With OG well like like right now we should get better so I I think the starting lineup should be markedly better because you won’t have a guy competing trying to be the guy that that shoots better consistently from two overall and shoots better from three and is a guy that you can hang
Your hat on on defense that you can like Alison can you please stop that guy he’s doing too much and that’s what he does and Quinton GRS bless his heart he did the best he could with that this season but you know he’s that guy on the
Second unit more than on the first un so you know I I think we’re set up for success I do think that this move can’t be judged all alone though Sim I think that you know you still have for’s deal and a couple of pcks and you know
You add a Demar de roosan you add a Deon Murray you add one of these type of players um and that is the move that ultimately replaces quickly and by dealing quickly and keeping all your picks and not having to include for’s deal it allowed you to make two moves
Instead of one to to to elevate so yeah yeah I agree I’d love to see the team be better especially in the starting lineup but another Deal’s got to be pending and and I I’m gonna really wait for that to to really really say what I
Think is uh you got OG do you got OG picking up his contract ra pick uh you know picking up his option or are they signing him to an extension that during this off season I’m confident that they’re going to give him an extension because you know if I had to
Bet he’s been having conversations his Asian and you know how you know the under the table conversations go they already been having conversations like yo we going to get you out of here don’t worry we’ll sign you to a New Deal will’ll be looking at x x number of
Dollars and I I think it’s I think it’s a done deal already I mean do you think but do you think like Josh Hart right he picked up his option at 13 million 12 whatever million do and then signed the bigger extension do you think Rand did
The same thing Rand did the same right do you think OG does that same thing well I believe that it will be what will be mutually beneficial okay if there’s if there’s a reason for him to opt in and not helping the Knicks get another deal done I think which I think
Was the case with uh with Hart situation uh then they’ll probably let yeah all right cool now just just do it for logistic purposes not because you playing hard ball okay all right but I’m I’m extremely confident he’s resigning either way oh either way yeah uh
Um I think we’re all pretty much 100 unless something crazy happens yeah he’s resigning with the Knicks no doubt about it shuttle I appreciate the time man new day my bad I left I left you off the list to the the happiest nbk fan
It’s my bad oh n no it’s all good it’s all good because I’ve been talking about RJ for years so you know you know I’m I’m thrilled I’m drilled all right yo my brothers happy New Year and uh new year new year let’s go no doubt Happy New Year to you brother
Peace s the uh the Knicks the Knicks created a$ 5.5 million trade exception I think that they had a two two millionar trade exception before so they got $7 million in trade exceptions that they can move um I do think OG is going to opt in and then sign a four-year
Extension worth $17 million um after that so he’ll be on he’ll be on the squad for another five another four years the very least in my opinion and um also that move keeps the Knicks under the luxury tax and I keep bringing that up for people so they don’t understand
Because a lot of people don’t understand like that the Knicks are strategically staying under the luxury tax for reason so they can become more flexible right and that’s why I think they ha they need to move Edan for’s contract right now this is the time to do it they have to
Move it now for a player like whether it be Murray spider whoever they have to move EV for’s money it just makes the most sense in my opinion yeah big shout out to Kyle Williams thank you for uh the uh for the cash app he said keep D Dante dezo starting and
Stagger him with the bench that’s definitely something that the Knicks uh could and probably would do you know you know especially right now you know I mean stagger on with the bench but but we’ll see they could also stagger OG with the bench or they could stagger
Both with the bench we’ll see how the way you know we’ll see how it goes you know I mean uh you know that’s something that the Knicks are going to have to work through on the Fly obviously or the starters could play 48 minutes and tibs will be happy yeah yeah you know
Uh a lot of stuff going on in the world of the New York Knicks right now ladies and gentlemen you know a lot of stuff happening and and and we won’t find out until more things happen I guess but I mean I’m just saying if if OG’s
That much better than RJ that much more of a fit they should get better right now I mean you said the same thing about Dante Dem Ken over gr get better right now your lineups right huh so you say thing about you said the same thing about swapping those two from the start
Lineup to the bench even chenzo and Grimes in you know what did did I did I say that the team was going to get that much better yeah huh I said the team was going to be like boom they was just going to get that much
Better I I said I said advocated for it you said I said I said we would maximize Dante deep and jeno’s production that’s what I said I said we would maximize his production right it’s about fine-tuning but now but now but now we’re taking pieces out and adding one
In and we also question whether it would be good or bad for grbs exactly exactly we didn’t say it was definitely going to be better for the team we said it would maximize his production and we would see if we could maximize grind is production on the
Bench okay I mean the receipt the receipts are on YouTube so yeah you can go look it up and pull them up if you want to I know what exactly what I said I said we would talk you said said this team will be better you kept saying this
Team I said it would maximize his production go go find it and pull it up remember the whole aggregate thing okay I got you you you you and I kept saying to you aggregate what I said aggregate what I said what are we aggregating and and I used it
Even times when you wasn’t here and I said aggregate that you were talking about aggregating not me I was talking about his maximizing his production you were talking about the aggregate of the team have we maximized gr’s production by putting him on the bench no we were
Talking about Dante chenzo oh so G has nothing to do with that I was talking about what did I Tony didn’t I say we could maximize Dante’s grinds would probably be the same and hopefully he could get better but I said he would probably do the same thing but we could
Maximize Dante dienzo production that’s what I said so have the team got better I we can look at the record since then and see right but we also lost Mitch in that mix that’s true so that means something too it does right yeah so can you really
Tell if they got better no because they lost a vital piece you know during the time that we had that conversation so we don’t know okay so we’ll see we’ll see what it comes to the team without Mitch exact we’ll see yeah without Mitch we’ll
See I mean and and and you’ve got to factor it in without Mitch this is what we were without Mitch during this time span now we got ogi this is what we were without Mitch when he comes we’re even better or whatever it is but what I’m
Saying is I would like to see if if he fits like he fits like we’re saying he fits plusy ass on the defense I want to see it’s get better because we might not add more at the trade deadline we might not add more
By the end of this season so I want to see us get better all I’m saying is if we don’t add more that’ll be a failure on the front office just my opinion on that all right that’s a failure yeah my man John what’s popping with you bro how you
Feeling what’s going on Sim Crow Josh what’s up what’s up what’s up with you what up John peace John everything good man listen you gotta add me on to that list of happy NK fan with this add me on it the list is growing it’s growing add
Him on the list Ron too that’s it there you go this is a great move fellas man I mean I think you you you you you asked and and my opinion will be my opinion but I think we did get better after this trade and I think we will see it come
Monday or when they suit up I think we’re going to see the starting five the options get better for us as far as a starting unit and then Off the Bench just the move for quick although I really you know like quick as a as a player I think this gives Duce an
Opportunity if given the minutes to show what he can provide Off the Bench and then also it gives Grimes an opportunity to to play more more aggressive offensively like quick will sometimes be more of a scoring first point guard where you have goce being a facilitator more and he doesn’t have to
Worry about getting his shots up so he will get it when it comes to him with Grimes could then now play his game similar to how he played his game when he played in the G league and put up some numbers you know I think we’re
Going to see sort of that type of Grimes play and at least I hope so and then Hart is another player who doesn’t need the ball so I think that’s what we’re going to start to see I hope that helps with his progression um and then we you
Know we we we will see a change in in the way his he plays uh offensively um and if it doesn’t work out then at least the Nicks see can actually see what they actually have in Grimes like officially do do you think OG will up
His scoring average a little bit and not not not that he’s going to force anything to up it or even try to up it but you know he may get you know if if he if it turns out that he’s getting RJ’s touches number of shot attempts let
Me say that um shoots a better percentage you know if he fits better you know can he up it 18 19 he’s at 15 up it to maybe 18 19 20 yeah there’s no question that he’s going to get the opportunity to do so the the other the other effect is also
He’s a good rebounder so he’s going to crash the boards and he’s going to be able to you know he has better better better jump you know so he’s going to be able to get putbacks also off the bounds he can rebound and go back up with it
You know you may even see some dunks on some people you know what I mean like you’re going to get that aggressive you know package when it comes to you know ogan anobi you know what I mean that you may not be able to do or get with RJ
He’s just a more efficient player all alog together so I’m excited about this moov I hope it comes you know you know it has like some renewed rejuvenated Vigor not that he didn’t have it but right you know he was probably in Toronto didn’t want to be there anymore
You know you know how that can be you know what I’m saying so now he’s coming to New York like okay boom you get you get that new life you know what I’m saying and hopefully you know I mean he he he he gets that and so he comes in and
Um the team is excited to have him some you know you know new player to to to mix in and we’ll see what happens you know hopefully it uh you know we like to fire under the Knicks defense you know and yeah without a doubt I mean I definitely see um
Anobi coming in with fresh legs you know what I mean and and a fresh Outlook uh on this situation because I mean I think his best year with Toronto was what 2021 um possibly where he upped his average from 15 to like 17 a game and I
Think and I think maybe seaka may have gone down during that time so he had s of was more available to to be an offensive threat or more played off of and I think you’re going to see that from OG you know what I mean and this is
Going to allow Brunson to be more of a point guard and not worried about having a force up shots you know in the paint he can kick out more and knowing that hey we need a three we know OG’s out there he’s going to knock it down you
Know what I mean and that’s the same thing we’ve seen right now with Divan chenzo where they’re not afraid to give up the rock because they they they believe in that in that player that’s going to be able to shoot the rock right you know divon chenzo went nuts today
You know what I’m saying so I can you can only imagine this the the spacing that’s going to take place because now you got two guys who can knock it down on the starting lineup you know what I mean you ain’t got to question it yeah I
Hope so man I hope I hope it comes out and it looks pretty F add me to the list fellas man you guys have a blessed New Year Brothers you know what I’m saying I know I’m not going to jump on during the new year so happy New Year
To you all God bless you all and appreciate you guys no doubt Happy New Year to you appreciate brother peace peace and shout out to Walter Reginal Clark appreciate the uh cash app he said uh for happy New Year Happy New Year to you too my brother thank you definitely
Appreciate it go ahead Tony no I’m saying I’m I’m glad I’m getting all these uh point of views you know I mean because I I didn’t really get to um tune into to any anybody’s show I was at work came home and and just jumped on on on my
Show and and got my views out um but it’s still gonna take some time for me to settle in I still gotta see it in see it in in it’s um you know see it live and and and again like like you said the next movie is really the going
To be what what shows shows where we going with this you know what I mean cuz as a standalone it’s it’s tough but yeah I’m you know I appreciate the the words of encouragement it feels a little bit better I just I just that’s weird me me
Talking yall off the leg that’s pretty weird and I’m The Optimist I’m The Optimist I I just want him to come in and and yeah I don’t need him to score 20 I just want him to come in and and I I know it’s not going to happen like
Right away but things click and it’s boom you know what I’m saying I can come on and like answered my question you know what I’m saying answered my question and even if like you can just see it yeah all right you might know all right we you know we we
Need to add this and that but you can see it happening that’s what I want to see you can like you can see it you can see the little pieces as as the games are going on you can see little pieces and things that can happen with them and
The you know the way they can switch defensively and and do things like that you can see it you’re like okay boom now let’s go get this and we’re cooking with grease you know what I mean that’s what I’m looking for he left the league in
Steals last year by the way for those who don’t know yeah and you get a guy like the je Murray who is a a Thief you know what I’m saying then wow you know you you got something going there and both of them could score the ball got something going there and and
And they both make under Max money all those players think about the niick have two players that don’t make Max money right now Adam oan who’s goingon to get the Randle contract and then you get a Murray in here or somebody like that that’s not making Max money this team
Can contend for a long time that’s what I want them to do that’s good so oh let me add was Josh on I don’t know uh Jaylen Brunson dejonte Murray OG anobi Julius Randle Mitchell Robinson as your starting five on the bench uh uh Dante D venzo Deuce Josh Hart
Precious right and then I’m assuming Isaiah hartenstein does that group contend so hartenstein won’t be back I’m I’m almost like 90% sure the niick not gonna sign hardenstein because of the luxury tax thing so I’m looking at probably be Sims or somebody like that so I don’t think Nicks are gonna sound I
Think they’re gonna say with Mitch and then do it do it like that I think that team I think that team can contend okay I think I think that team can contend ball handling defense yeah yeah and then in that case you can look at the conversation was being had mantony was
Talking about about Brunson being a onea I think with that lineup around him yeah he he he can do that and that team can contend that team can contend in my opinion Murray wouldn’t be my first option I personally am looking for more like a LaVine or um Don Mitchell those
Type you know those types of players who can shoot better from the outside but yeah well I brought up to jante Murray because a caller asked that question earlier yes I I think that team can contend and um the what’s the dude’s name Soto Mike SoDo he reported um the Knicks are
Still interested and basically uh they they won it quickly but it didn’t it didn’t put a who wanton it quickly ATL ATL Atlant which to me makes less sense right but okay like brand makes less sets for for quickly he’s not going to start over young right is he gonna start with young
And now they in the Brunson quickly situation right the thing about muray he makes he makes less than a LaVine or a spider they make close to 40 I think M’s making 25 20 something yep y yeah yeah yeah yeah that would put him in that
Situation kind of like OB is in Indiana now that he’s coming off the bench again yeah uh somebody in the chat earlier I’m mad I didn’t start but they they uh they they was talking about oh why is Obie acting acting tough all of a sudden yeah you see him and Randall you
Know him and Randall was kind of going at it in the game tonight you know what I’m saying join a little bit you know uh uh you know Obie wrapping up randle’s arm you know on his way to the basket you know have have a few words you know that stems back to
Some practice stuff or you know just the you know practice rivalry I’m pretty sure it it made me wonder one I was like uh you gota you gotta um you can’t back down you got your whole family in in the stands right and then and then uh it
Made me wonder if they had a little scuffled where you think uh Jacob toing who who would have been right he you know he probably just say I’mma just sit here I ain’t I need I need to make money I’m with you bro but I need to make
Money but you know uh you know Randle got into it with Bobby Portis the other day right you know what I’m saying I don’t think it’s anything that’s going to go beyond the court it probably just you know happens like that sometimes you know it it was it was it
Was funny to watch uh Ricardo dollar sign 36 RI thank you for the cash app he said two moves should be d rozan and bogdanovic or LaVine you know uh you know we’re going to see what these moves are next ladies and gentlemen we’re going to
See I did have a caller on the line but I guess got a little bit impatient you know just stay patient when you get on the line ladies and gentlemen I I hear you I got you there you know as long as you can hear us I’mma get to you
Promise I I think um it’s not that Nick’s fault at all about this happening but I think if Mitch Robinson would have been healthy I think there was a good chance that they could have moved hartstein also at the deadline because of his 8 to 10 million contract that’s
Also something that they could have done but they you know unfortunately that happened um so yeah let me get to a caller caller you’re live caller you’re live name me where you from please what’s up what’s up I’m Jay I’m from the Bron what’s going on Jay how you feeling
Man okay man I’m feeling good how you guys feeling good good good feeling good all right man so I I I do want to say man can we all agree that we definitely gave Josh har way too much money Tony what about you Tony no everybody
Know how I feel what about you like I loved him he came in he was a spark but I think we gotta we you know we we got a little too excited like he was never aund million man ever in his life so I feel like we got way too excited through
Him way too much money and that’s why we couldn’t really bring quickly back in when I seen Dante divon chinzo get 50 million I was like yeah Josh Hart is right at about the same amount yeah I mean saying you know I mean I mean you know I don’t I don’t
Know yeah I was like he ain’t really better than Dante dezo so I was like he right about that same amount I don’t know man like I just wish for the best you know and as a young Nick fan I just be hard broken because it just seemed
Seemed like we we fall into the same kind of patterns and then man it also hurt to see that guy over there H Burton you know what I mean he really supposed to be out point guard I ain’t gonna lie you know what I’m saying 20 assists I
Rathered those 20 assists than the than the kind of points Brunson put up because that’s what a point guard is supposed to do and and halberton he hit big shots when he when when you forget all about him cuz he done dished out 17 assists now he hitting big threes and he
Getting fast break layups and n1s and it’s like you know that’s let me let me ask you this though let me ask you this would he have done this under Tom Tibido oh man listen you right about that what’s up you right about that though and that’s my biggest thing
As Tom Tio decent but I feel like Tom Tio is always going to keep you in the middle of the pack type of Coach you goingon to always be good with him as a coach but you never gonna be great with him as a coach and my biggest issue with
Him is he not a bad coach because you always hear him out there barking barking directions and he you know what I’m saying he he he coaches he’s coaching my thing coaching yeah he coach he goes out there coaches you hear him barking all game you hear him Josh go
And you hear him you know what I’m saying barking instructions but he don’t instill confidence in in the young guys and that’s the thing I don’t like I know you know Mark Jackson would never be coach you know what I’m saying we know that but the one thing why I wanted him
To be coach because I feel like he would instill a lot of confidence in guys like RJ and quickley and even Randall I think they would have went to a whole another level under a coach like that that instills confidence you remember um um uh Mark Jackson was just on the
Show explaining how he got this one coach that was telling him he was the best point guard in the NBA and he was like even though he knew it wasn’t true and the coach knew wasn’t true it made him feel good though you get what I’m
Saying and I feel like T is not that kind of guy he don’t bring that type positivity to where guys really want to run through a brick wall for him H I mean I don’t know you know it’s hard to say you might be right you know
I mean that’s that’s my biggest thing with him you know it’s funny my fa for you know I’m not gonna keep you guys too long but I was just saying like your man Tibido is like Frank Sinatra as long as he does it his way he cool he he’s Frank
Sinatra coaching he just like I did it my way like even I’m really paying attention like Leon Rose is not the GM tibs is the GM I guess Leon Rose is just there to say tibs who you want I’ll get you the guys that you want you want me
To resign him I’mma resign him you want me to go get OG I’mma go get OG but it’s like Leon Rose ain’t the G TBS is the G but do you think that’s not the way it should be though nah not like not to that level
You don’t think that the the the the GM should get the players that the coach want I mean you picked the coach you chose the coach so cuz here’s here’s just this is just the way that I Envision it right you’re the GM president what you know whatever you
Are say okay I’m going to bring in this coach because this coach has this philosophy this style this this this that now coach we had this we had an interview we came to an agreement on how you’re going to you know the style of basketball this that and the third
The philosophy you know the the the you know the the type of uh culture we want to establish now I’m going to give you the tools what tools do you need to get your job done and then I’m going to go try to get those tools at the best
Prices know what I’m saying that’s how I Envision the GM should be I understand that but at the same time like we already seen how tibs was when he was the GM and Coach when he was in in Minnesota or other places it’s like yeah I do understand that but at times like
All right T we gave you what you asked for we had to let certain guys go because you know you not feeling them at what what point do it come in like okay now we gonna bring certain players in and tis we believe these guys make it
Work because at this point at this point it’s like Tim’s got too much power what’s the point of Leon being a GM I feel like might as well be the GM to I I feel like I feel like at that point is when you get a different coach then
Because I feel like you give I feel like you give the coach the tools that they need to do the job yeah and if they can’t do the job and if they don’t do the job then you’re like okay you know let’s let’s bring in someone else you know I feel like you
Give the coach the tools that they need to do their job because now when we look at it it’s it’s a little confusing because it’s like all right we done did that for tibs but now I don’t even see a direction we could go into for a new
Coach really you know what I’m saying so I agree with you like all right now it’s it’s approaching that like between I say the next year or two if tibs don’t make it work he got to go but I don’t see a clear Direction on where we could go in
That direction either I I kind of feel like the Knicks is kind of winging it a little bit I I mean I mean I don’t know if they I mean I don’t Josh thinks that they chose a Direction so now if they chose that direction you know you go you go you go
Full-fledged in that direction so like they chose the direction we’re not we’re not you know we’re not building around young guys we’re going out we’re trying to get people that’s going to come in and win boom boom boom so I think they going you know they go in that direction
So I would say yeah they probably do have an idea but you know you know they have an idea all right we’re going in this direction and so now let me go let’s see who’s out there on the board that we can pull in you know so I guess we got to
See what’s next and and that doesn’t mean they keep tips as well I think I think as long as the Knicks and and we’re going to assume for the sake of argument that Jaylen Brun is is going to be Allstar randle’s already all NBA so
He’s going to get a Max contract as long as the N have those guys they can get a they can go out and find a coach it don’t have to be tips they can go find somebody else that’s and then and then and then you start tweaking and then you
Start tweaking according to what that coach says they need they say you know what I can’t I can’t do it with Randle so I need to go get b or I need you to go get a guy like this or a guy like that you know what I mean yeah that’s
Real that’s real yeah you know what I’m saying but I I definitely think even man bringing in OG too like I love spider the idea that came with gra getting Donovan Mitchell when we could have got him at the at the trade deadline but now
Picking up OG I feel like if we going in that direction Murray is the guy now you know at the time I love the idea of of of spider but now it look like spider is such a tweener like everybody’s starting to notice that now you know what I’m
Saying like I don’t know where he going at this point he’s still doing his thing though you got to give it to him thing out there shoot yeah he doing his thing but it’s a team game and him doing his thing how far is that gonna carry a
Team that’s really the question you know I would love spider of course but it’s like you can’t put 70 up every game it’s just like I said back to the halberton thing like man I rather that guy get 20 assists that’s more impressive to me than even 30 points because to be able
To make guys that much better around you is going that’s why they scoring 140 points a game I feel you I feel you I you know what I’m saying so you know SC you know it’s fun to watch Donovan go out there and get 50 and 60 and 40 but
It don’t really it takes away from the team you know what I’m saying I feel you well we’ll see I mean listen you know Donovan Mitchell was a guy that they want hands down think different direction may now though he’s a guy that they want you know you know one of the
Guys that one of the guys I would say that they had covet so you know we’ll see if they still try to make I don’t know where the path is to right now as far as salaries and stuff like that and you know I don’t you know we’d have to
Look and see how things work out with OG and see where that path is if there’s a path if they still want them but I think I still think somewhere you know they got their eyes on what’s happening with him and I’mma say it this way we we we
Crazy if we think that tibs ever wanted Donovan Mitchell not if we really think about it now at this point in time once I seen this trade and I started hearing the disante Murray rumors I’m like man tibs never wanted wanted uh Spider if we saying that you know the only thing that
Held the deal up was um grindes TBS never wanted spider a a small dude that don’t play defense I don’t know I don’t know I think T take Donovan Mitchell RB I don’t know I think he’ take him I I actually think I actually think with the style of
Basketball that tips plays Donovan Mitchell is one of his guys look at Dereck Rose yeah but I think he’ll take it at the point guard but every other position he don’t usually roll with those type of dudes maybe at the point guard he take he he like them scoring point guards but
After that you got to be defensive hardal to cover that SC point guard I hear you I hear you see what’s up hey my man I thank you for the call great conversation yeah appreciate you guys Happy New Year happy holidays God bless no doubt Happy New Year
To yeah I don’t know uh got a uh got a question I want to see uh how you guys feel about this question here or or what your thoughts are uh Jo thank you for the cash app he said what do you think OG ceiling is is it all
Star uh I think I think he could have an Allstar ceiling um mind you at the time when the Knicks gave I think the Knicks gave R’s contract after he made the all NBA season they gave him the extension or whatever um but I think I think that
The ceing for him can be can be an All-Star um maybe all I’ll say all defense all NBA defense I won’t say All-Star because he’s not going to put the amount of points on the board to do that he doesn’t have a pull-up game so I
Would say all NBA defense okay all right Tony what do you think he’s been that hasn’t he yeah second team last year okay okay there you go um I think he can make an allar I don’t think he’ll be perennial you know what I mean like if
If he’s on a if if we could and I’m not saying this year or whatever but if we could get to you know a third seed and and and you know he UPS his score in in the in the 20 range I don’t see why not you know I mean especially if he’s
Giving what he gives defensively right right yeah I I think first of all I think it’s entirely possible that he can up his up his scoring to you know 18 to 20 points per game you know just based on uh just just based on uh you know you
Know who not who he’s taking over but he’s yeah increased usage he’s he’s he’s jumping into Ro that had a certain amount of usage and I see him getting that usage you know what I’m saying um you know you know maybe not right from the beginning because he’s got to you
Know gratiate himself into the team and all of that kind of stuff but I see him getting that usage so I think there’s the possibility because he shoots better percentages that he could increase his scoring it could jump up you know 18 to 20 points per game you know I definitely
See that uh and so if the Knicks if he’s one of the top three scorers on the team and the Knicks end up being one of these days one two three yeah I say him make an All-Star team I think he could make an All-Star team that’s you know
All-Star caliber he could be All-Star caliber yeah I just I just want to add I think uh those types of players that are Allstars they have ability to have the ball in their hands and go make something happen for the most part when you think about Allstars all NBA people
Um on that note though samim I did mention in the pregame that Brunson was going up against halberton and then you know it’s going to be him trying to compete for that All-Star spot I think there’s no doubt in my mind that Tyrese halberton is going to be an Allstar
Right and then I think there was it’s two other guard spots or I don’t know how many other guard spots the East is very tough when it comes to that other guard spot you know you got Tyrese Maxi who’s putting up the same numbers as Brunson uh Trey young know who know they
Below us or whatever um I think I’m missing one there’s one more that I’m missing oh Damen Lillard right so it’s going to be tough just like it was last year for Brunson to get into that All-Star conversation or to make the St team he’s in the conversation I mean you
Figure Tyrese and Damien might be the starters and then you’ll probably have two bench guys that can work too they do it by guards and yeah you know then you have two bench guys so you know when you look at the other bench guys depending depending on where the Knicks are I
Think he’d have a good chance you know you know tyres Maxi could very well be one of the other guys Drew holiday’s name is going to be there ‘s name is going to be there who was the other guy you mentioned oh Trey young young you know what I mean you
Know um you know he’ll be there but Atlanta’s not you know they they’re doing they’re not doing very well so you know that could as far as coaches voting that could hurt him a little bit so you know we’s see they they need to expand the allstar game instead of what do they
Have 12 players is it I thought it was I thought it was 15 is it 15 yeah cuz they yeah I thought I thought it was 14 and yeah I thought it was 14 or 15 cuz I cuz cuz you always hear people say you know talk about expanding it so
That it meet it matches the number of roster spots that’s on the team maybe you’re right right maybe you’re right no it’s it’s 12 12 12 and 12 12 and 12 right so you know you know you can have 15 rosters on the team so that’s what they always sule you know
Why don’t they expand it to 15 cuz you have 15 roster spots why don’t they expand it to 15 but it is what it is you know mean especially with so many players in the league now you know I mean but I guess it probably helps you know when guys get
Snubbed you know it helps because it creates more stuff to talk about you know this guy that guy got you know snub caller your live name me where you from please yes hello this is George from the Bronx George what’s going on with you brother how you feeling I’m doing good man you
Know this is this is first time me calling the season thank you I appreciate it you know I wasn’t going to call but the but the previous caller who was on um spoke kind of harshly of uh Tom Tibido and like you know I don’t think
That is fair see because three years ago Tom Tibido took a team of bums playoffs they were bums just Alfred pton Alec Burke stone hands you know what I’m saying these guys are what’s this raw uh Mitch Robinson he got them to play my bad okay um but since people feel
That what since he don’t allow players to grow but he took quickly who was a 25th pick and he went from shoot if I felt like it to last year he was to run up for the six-man award this is all under Tibido this is under Tibido he don’t get credit for
That I feel you so you know so it’s like so it’s like the the the the the harshness that they use when they talk about him is is just not fair okay um yes it was time for RJ to go because he needs to he need to be somewhere else to
Flourish there’s there’s there’s too much pressure playing here in New York and he couldn’t handle it I’m sorry to say I hated to see quick go but we we are God deep he can’t start with Brunson he could not start with Brunson too small right is there um spider spider everybody wants
Spider what’s what’s everybody think we should get spider what other benefit will we get from having spider besides he can score points and then will he be able to score those points with Brunson and Julius Randle on the team who can also score points yes yes he he he he automatically
Becomes your number one option in my opinion 100% 100% all right but then we lose defensively nobody and we not outscoring nobody if we can’t play um defense that’s what’s going on now we scored 126 points tonight but we gave up 140 we need more
Defense you see so so so so we have to continue to build our def we have scorers we have scores we can score points but we have to get lock down players who can lock down somebody like a person who eats too much cheesecake we
Got to we got to get these type of players because we not we’re not going to beat Boston if we had spider with with o I think you got I think you got a damn good shot I mean you know it’s always you you know it’s
Going to depend on other things that you put around it so you know yeah we’re not gonna we we are not gonna beat the Bucks four out of seven with spider and Oki it’s not happen and then and then he gets hurt he misses games the direction that we going I like
It if they can get Murray I think that would be a good pickup for us and then we’ll see what we have and then uh uh uh uh you know what I’m saying come over the um summer whatever people we gonna get rid of do
That you know I’m not a spider fan yeah he could score it um looks good but I’m not a big fan of spider what is Cleveland doing where are they at didn’t we knock them off last year yeah we did we did we did but you
Know there’s other people on the team I mean you know it you know it’s always going to be who do you put around a guy like you know like like like spider right you know who else do you have around them you know do you do you have other all NBA guys
Around them you know what I’m saying um you know so you know if C to the Knicks we’re not going to be where Cleveland is right now exactly right and where is Cleveland I’m saying we not going to be where Cleveland is right now we’ll be better than
That way better okay so so so if we got spy that we would be better than the bucks or no the 76ers I don’t know I I think we have a better I think we have a better chance than we do now so so what’s so what’s
The solution nothing no no no that’s that’s not what I’m asking Josh I’m that that’s not what I’m asking will we look better on paper would we match up better with the 76ers than we do without him yes that’s what no question about it okay okay no question about
It because my look so so my G my gri the Knicks right now was size right so it’s two things size and ball handling I didn’t want to give up quickly um but they had they had to make that move they felt that they had to do it they weren’t
Gonna sign him or whatever okay boom we got o and no to come in and play the three at size being able to defend I think that was one of Nick’s biggest problems and that’s why they didn’t match up well against Boston Milwaukee and we haven’t even played Philly yet
Right but if you go out and you get a guy like Don Mitchell or Murray somebody that can handle the basketball score and then give you 20 25 points with Brunson and Randall that’s yeah that that that’s that’s a that’s a contendent team in my opinion that’s a contendant team right
There but they but those three guys are not stopping nobody they they would have to guard Tatum Brown and porzingis who’s gonna get more points I think I think that team can stop people I think that team can stop people you got o you got oan and noi
Right playing there and then you know Nick’s fully healthy with Mitchell Robinson Mitchell Robinson’s GNA play the center right so you got Rim protection there and then you got the ability to shoot shoot out the gym you you you’ll contend you’ll contend you contend with that team in my opinion yes
Yes they will contend but will they win Boston is primed to win it all still gotta do it got do it right right they from from the last championship caliber team that they had they got better they have gotten better I hate to say it I’m not a Celtics fan but they
Have gotten better no they I just think this notion this notion that we can’t beat anybody if we go out and make these moves it keeps the Knicks and and and and the team in this continuous cycle oh we’re not going to beat anybody we shouldn’t do it the point is to
Contend ultimately ultim real quick Qui ultimately you want to win real quick ultimately you want to win but you have to put your In Contention because anything can happen in the seven game series you put yourself in contention every year perennially that’s what you got to do
That’s what you have to do so this whole thing about they shouldn’t do it because they’re not gonna beat them I just I just don’t agree with that logic my opinion I’m sorry but no no no that’s that that’s that’s that is not the direction that I’m I’m heading in and if
I gave you that uh was impression I’m sorry that I did Tomo being that he’s a defensive coach when he builds his teams I believe I don’t know because I’ve never had a conversation with the man he’s thinking of a four out of seven series okay he that’s this this this
This is his mindset he wants he wants a defensive team who can score some points he’s not points first because it has been proven throughout the history of the game there’s a lot of teams that were High Caliber who never got it done okay so so so so we could we could
Have these scores but that just running gun back and forth that don’t happen during the um playoffs I agree it’s a half court game during the um playoffs which is why I felt the Knicks were too small to play that way I felt they were too small to
Play that way because they’re not going to match up by adding some size and Oobi I think they’ll match up way better with those teams by adding sides that’s why that’s why they did that yes yes I’m I’m I’m listen I like the fact that they went and got him now
I hope that that they can go get mured because I would prefer Murray over spider because Murray is more than one dimension he’s not just a score he’s a Defender also with him and Mitch and I was anobi that would make us really formidable with that starting five you
See the mistakes that uh was Jaylen Brunson make and the sometimes defense that uh Julius Randle play would be it would be hidden because we would have three really good defenders in that starting lineup that’s all I’m saying that’s all I want to say okay but uh
Listen man we all Nick fans and um we only want the best for the team so that’s it you know I’m say let you guys go appreciate hey what’s your name again what’s your name again George from the Bron man George from Bron appreciate you brother thank you George thanks man
Appreciate have a good one Salute yeah there a lot of opin it’s going to be opinions for days about about this trade I mean this is the biggest trade the ncks have made since KP KP right since they traded KP it’s probably a bigger trade than KP but this is the biggest trade they’ve made since since
Then right I can’t think of anything else St away the wrong draft Pi is prob TR way the people that they drafted yeah I mean but even and players that they’re bringing back who’s the biggest who’s who’s the most Covenant guy that they’ve brought back in the trade since Josh har Josh
Hart right definitely the biggest trade in uh Leon Rose’s tenure yeah it’s a bigger trade than Hart I mean you might you may argue Derek Rose just because of the name you know what I mean but he said sense that’s why I said that you know oh good point yeah but you know
This this that biggest I mean but it is I mean but it is the biggest I mean this is the biggest move that the Knicks have made in you know as far as trades in a long time you know every you know for the past few years every trade deadline what
The Nick’s going to do oh we think they gonna make a splash this crickets nothing you know or well I don’t want to say nothing you know the the Josh Hart Dereck Rose you know those were trades but you know what did we give up cam reddish second round picks for
Derrick Rose I mean this time you gave up you know a guy that you drafted third you know what I mean so you know it’s it’s a it’s a it’s it’s a big one for the Knicks and we’ll see you know there’s going to be a lot of opinions for the
Next couple of days a lot of opinions until he actually plays and then there’ll be people who you know who have opinions about that you know a lot of opinions about that too I’m I’m anxious to see how it goes and what happens hate that the Knicks lost tonight hate that they got
To play Minnesota on Monday because right now the Knicks are what eighth in the Eastern Conference I haven’t looked in three days Son Well I’mma tell you right now Tony the Knicks are eighth 17- 15 we just fell a half game behind Indiana well full game behind Cleveland for that six
Spot you know but you know you know we can get we’ll get back there we’re just a full a couple of games behind Orlando uh Cleveland you know for the sixth and fifth and sixth spots so you know it’s not no I’m sorry uh Miami is in the fifth spot
Now and we’re a game and a half behind Miami we’re two games behind Orlando for the fourth spot so we’ll see e flows the regular season I’m might concern we’ll see we’ll see in in the second half after this new year you got more home games more home games in away
Games you don’t have as many backto backs you know schedule’s going to get a little bit lighter too you know I mean so you know we’ll see where we’ve had we’ve had a tough schedule up until now and not even just talk about uh uh teams
That we play but with teams that we play but also you know the the travel schedule and all of that they were talking about on The Telecast the travel schedule and back Tob backs it’s been that kind of a tough schedule you know so it’ll lighten up in the second half
It all has to even out all has to even out ah all right it’s 12:27 we’ve been on for two and a half hours I didn’t know I don’t even think we did a postgame show for real we just dug into the trade even more you know what I mean we just dug
Into the trade even more but it’s been a it’s been a great show it’s been a great show you know what I mean um you know I hate losing IQ but I am excited for what could be and and to see how this thing this entire thing fleshes out you know I mean
And if the Knicks are going to make some other moves I’m excited for it I will say that skeptical but I’m I’m excited you know I mean uh you know either way I still got the Nick the Nick feel it going to be in the playoffs and
I don’t feel like we lost so much that we wouldn’t be in the playoffs but you know I’m skeptical and I want to see it succeed oh we’ll see what happens ladies and gentlemen I’mma get up out of here Tony you was about to say something nah
Um just you know shout out to the chat man I I got sleep on this one hopefully I feel better in the morning you know what I’m saying I feel like we I feel like we lost two games today you know what I’m saying I mean
You know I’m I’m I’m happy for OG to be a Nick I am know what I’m saying I’m still just skeptical on how much better we got but time will tell and we’ll see I hope we got I hope we got better and hope we can see the the vision as
They’re playing you know that’s that’s even bigger than for me than they getting better but I do expect for us to get better if this is what it’s supposed to be I expect this to get better but I want to be able to see the vision on the
Court want to be able to see it you know what I mean so I’m get up out of here man I’mma get up out of here ladies and Gentlemen please have a happy and safe New Year if I don’t see you have a happy and safe new year uh there’s a lot of
Shows that can come out of this because there’s a lot of questions to be had CU I still have a whole lot lot more whole lot more but uh Josh any last thing you want to say before we go yeah I was right happy birthday to me happy birthday to
Me now all all I’ll say is um I’m glad that Nicks made this move uh hopefully and I I pray that it leads to them doing something else to get that other ball handler in here um if not if we can’t use for his contract I think that’s
Going to be a big failure um hopefully what y’all telling me about Dante Devan Kenzo being that ball handler this is his time to show it right so you know when quickley was out before a couple games during the season or Brunson was out you know we wanted to see that de
Keno be that ball handler so hopefully that that that’s him uh and and L of us not making that move so hopefully the Knicks do make it and um you know we can get to that contending level next season we’ll have all these guys on the contract nobody’s making Max money so I
Think now is the time to strike if we’re going to do it yeah no doubt Jay way that’s not even fair said well we’re 0 and one so far since the trait ain’t even fair he ain’t touch the floor yet can we let him touch the floor saw
The Raptors and they lost to Detroit right exactly can can can can we let them Detroit Detroit won yeah Detroit won tonight nice Detroit won tonight they won well ladies and gentlemen Tony any last words N man um go Nicks Nicks fan first yeah we’re going

Good shout out to OG for making his way to the New York Knicks precious and Malachi we’re looking forward to having having you here you know RJ and IQ we’re going to miss you guys but do your thing up there and up top in the north Tony
You was right you said Toronto would be a good look for them to bring in RJ you know what I’m saying and and you know he’s there now let’s see if he can do something so Tony was right but I wasn’t right but you missed the entire
Conversation or you don’t even know the cont see that see that you don’t even know the context he was just talking about them building with a guy that’s from Canada so he was right but we weren’t even talking about he wasn’t even talking about the production wise he was
Just talking about because he’s from Canada Hometown boy and and the fact that they they don’t tend to keep their keep guys or sign guys I figure if they start building around some Hometown guys they may want to stay there and build something you’re wrong so often so it doesn’t matter

Now we need two more players
RJ is garbage but IQ and RJ for OG ? LMAO… The knicks is the gift that keeps on giving
I’m worried for our offense and depth now for sure!!! Our offense was mediocre with rj and quick before but now it’s going to be bad bad! Sure our defense got better but idk man! Need another star now to balance the scoring! You can’t ask Julius and Brunson to drop bombs every night for us to scape games away! And now that quick is gone we lost a trade asset to go get a guy like Mitchell! Sure we have Grimes and Robinson but idk if we can really get much back for them! I also wanna keep Mitch!! Tbh I’m not sure if I like this move. I like OG and like his defense and size he brings to the table but idk man! Deep down very worried looking at this roster rn!
This team and the management is clueless
It's really an IQ for OG swap. Barrett was salary dump. RJ is not developing under Thibs. Hopefully, a change in scenery will help Rowan. Good trade overall.
Salute NBD. Nothin But Defense 😂 😂 😂 Happy New Year
I like IQ. But he is a vacuum. I wanted him handle and distribute the ball but he just holds it for 12 seconds and takes wild 3 pointers. And I won't speak on RJ's inefficiencies. Now we have a SF. And a backup 4. Who both play defense. Shots can be replaced. Hart, Dante, Grimes and OG can all hit 4 3's on any given night. The ball will move much better without the vacuum and "clear out, I'm going left!" And we get players that fit with our FO and coach. We're gonna be better defensively. Hopefully someone can be more consistent and efficient. I think OG will flourish in our system.
The only thing I don't like about this trade, is losing IQ in it. I believe we could've used him in a different trade. I guess the Knicks really wanted OG that bad🤷🏾♂️
Josh is right about us being better at defense. Sim is forgetting about the addition of Precious, who can literally guard 1-5 with a 7’2 wingspan
I wish it was RJ and grimes. Not IQ😔😭
What happens if your starters get hurt??? A bad bench will kill the team all together
Currently we are a play in at best
