Another Massive NBA Trade is About to Happen
The Knicks made a huge trade getting OG and anobi but they’re not done yet an anonymous NBA exec said New York got the big Wing Defender they were searching for but they’re not done they’re in a good place to make another big move and what would that move be we actually know
Who is guaranteed to get traded next but the official deal was Nicks getting OG Pressa saua Malachi Flynn the Raptors getting Emanuel quickle RJ Barrett and a 2020 for second from Detroit now I have seen people say the Knicks lost the trade the Raptors lost the trade but the
Trade’s not even done having OG is only so good if you get a superstar to win a chip and to get that player they still have eight first round picks to deal think about big star trades KD got five first round picks and swaps Anthony Davis cost the Lakers three picks of
Swap and players so the Knicks had the ass assets and will pounce so they won this deal OG wants to be a New York an Elite 3 and D Wing that every team wants Tom Tibido will get the best out of him defensively they also got precious atua
To fill in at Center and Malachi Flynn and all they gave up was RJ Barrett Emanuel quickley in a second Toronto had multiple offers of three first round picks last year but RJ and the Knick’s backup point guard great now I’m not saying that RJ Barrett is awful but he
Was the number three pick behind Zion and John Moran and dude can’t create his own shot is below average from three quickley is actually the better asset he’s more efficient and a better playmaker and if that’s all the Knicks have to replace they won this trade but
The Raptors are not done yet they will trade Pascal SE yakum very soon how do I know because they owe a first round pick to the spur this year unless it is in the top six so if they are bad enough to pick in the top six of the draft they
Keep their pick if not it goes to the Spurs so lose games and Pascal is too good for that did you see him the first game after the trade Unstoppable with 36 points in a win you cannot have too many more wins no they want to build around
Scotty Barnes and add a top six pick rookie so where does Pascal go next but ours today’s video is sponsored by Underdog fantasy which I play basically every single night just to have fun win or lose I love it and I love playing pick them you pick higher or lower with
Your favorite players and you can up to 20 exra money on a single night and I would like to show you my two pick them picks for tonight first up is Chris Paul’s points rebounds and assists we’re going lower he has only hit that number one time the last 10 matchups UPS
Against the Nuggets secondly Victor Wim Bama’s points were going higher it’s his birthday that’s actually a really good reason to go higher best of luck if you’re tailing those picks at your own risk but again we will have fun check out this map to see if Underdog is
Available in your area but always use the promo code am Hoops not only will you double your deposit up to 100 bucks but it really really helps out the channel thanks so much to Underdog well the official rumors are the Pacers the Hawks and the Mavericks but then we got
This report from Mark Stein in Dallas the Mavericks have trade interest in seak but one source described their interest as overstated my sense is sakam is not at top their wish list look if he is not at the top of their list those other teams will outbid him I cross the
Mavs off so the Pacers and Hawks they both make sense but Atlanta’s a little more desperate so if they include Jaylen Johnson Pascal goes there but the Knicks have an even bigger move coming up and you can trace it back to when they hired Leon Rose to run their front office Leon
Used to be the most powerful agent in basketball he once represented LeBron James Chris Paul and Carmelo Anthony all at CAA one of the biggest NBA agencies that controls things behind the scenes clutch Sports does this with the Lakers clutch funnels guys to LeBron like Anthony Davis Jared vanderbelt and cam reddish
But the Knicks are a CAA team like 3 months after getting hired Leon Rose landed coach Tom Tibido a CAA client to recruit Jaylen Brunson in free agency the Nicks hired his dad Rick brunon as an assistant coach turns out Rick was Leon’s first client at CAA it is so
Obvious the NBA fined them for tampering but 6 months ago something weird happened happened OG and anobi suddenly flipped agencies from clutch to CAA and one of OG’s new agents Sam Rose son of Leon Rose how is this not even against the rules meanwhile RJ Barrett fired his
Agent CAA and signed with one of their biggest Rivals WME so it makes sense that an RJ Barrett for OG anobi trade happened but that brings us to their next deal WJ is the best source for this story cuz he is also a CAA client that’s
Why WJ beat Shams on the ogan anobi trade and W says New York will one add a player at the deadline who helps with shot creation and is on a contract that his current team values but can’t keep because of the luxury fact then add a
Player in the summer who will ask out after his team disappoints in the playoffs and I’m sorry that is only a handful of guys guys and if you look at the CAA roster you know who the Knicks will Target Devin Booker Paul George Donovan Mitchell cat Andrew Wiggins and
Zion Williamson any one of those Stars could lose in the playoffs then ask out this summer but out of that list the Knicks need a true number one to compete for a title and rumors say they don’t think spider is that guy Mark Stein also said initial indications are the Knicks
Don’t intend to mount an allout pursuit of Donovan Mitchell but the Cavaliers signal they aren’t prepared to trade him anyway so if Donovan Mitchell isn’t good enough for the Knicks I don’t think cat or Andrew Wiggins is either so the real list is embiid PG book and Zion if one
Of those guys loses in the playoffs and wants to be a Nick New York will pounce but who is not on the CAA list Julius Randall and he used to be before this season he fired his agent at CAA and went to WME just like RJ Barrett and
Like RJ Julius won’t be a Nick much longer he’s guaranteed to get traded if they can land one of these stars now a lot of fans will say but he’s playing great in the first two games after the OG trade Julius dropped 39 and 35 why would we trade him now because the
Knicks need that in the player off and Randall has never shown he can be that true number one if anything this hot streak UPS his trade value to upgrade after the season you want to sell high on Julius Randle it’s the only way to get a Paul George or Joel MB but before
That they need a shot Creator from losing quickly there is way too much on Jaylen Brunson right now and for that they actually go away from CAA to Deon Murray rumors say they are still going hard after him and the Hawks are close to the luxury tax so it aligns with what
Wo predicted now if they want to go cheaper maybe uh Malcolm Brogden or D’Angelo Russell who are two Playmakers on the trade block now if the Knicks can pull all that off and it’s a big F they will finally be a contender for the first time since the 1990s it’s because
The owner James Dolan finally stopped meddling in basketball decisions and hired a connected smart Leon Rose to run things for seven plus years they’ve been patient and stacking picks and talent but now that patience is paying off and if you want to see all about the dejonte
Murray trade what went wrong why are they trading him after just 18 months and if the Knicks don’t get them who else could get them I broke the whole thing Down

Joel Embiid is not a CAA client anymore. I should not have included him in the list. My mistake. Thanks to those who pointed it out to me.
What is up with the weird blurred square early in the video?
Quickly way better then RJ
If we trade Jalen Johnson I’m no longer a hawks fan. That would be so dumb and unforgivable
KAT shld be the guy
Casey, the protections of the Poetl pick are bad. They continue for 3 more years, if the pick doesn't convey this year. It's best to surrender the pick this year, a bad draft class. So they should not lose on purpose or tank this year.
Warriors:
trade wiggs
trade jerome
trade moody
trade looney
trade cp3 – for lauri markenen from utah jazz
1st Unit:
steph
klay
dray
markenen
saric
2nd Unit:
podz
gp2
kuminga
usman
tjd
reserves: jospeh, gui, lester, usman
take back another center at trade deadline (have lester and corey at guard) (gui and usman at forward) or play usman or gui at forward (saves the regular nightly rotation down to 9/10 players routinely) and no juggling too much depth, and team can get used to and familiar with their rotation, roles and every night spots (build confidence and continuity) Will lose depth, but depth right now is an issue, so this fixes and changes things that way (if concerned, take back more players other than markenen in a trade – to fill out roster where you think it needs)
Blueprint:
let podz take over the game, free to grow and be the number 1 option at PG off the bench (similar stats to CP3, just less assists, but those can increase as #1 option)
steph less pressure to score, with a ball handler in draymond, a pick and pop threat from 3 in saric and a secondary 23 ppg scorer in markenen
secondary scorere, takes pressure off of klay and he now becomes 3rd option like in championship run when wiggings scored frequently
dray handling the ball takes it out of the hands off steph, and lets him shred defenses with moving
markenen 8.4 rebounds per game, he helps out and replaces what you lose in rebounding from looney
4 scorers on the floor in starting lineup, dray runs assists, and is a threat for slashing to the basket and finding always the open man, and organizing the offense
2nd unit is a defensive minded unit with options for scoring, 1st unit is offensive minded unit with rebound stoutness to keep possesions going, coming in and flowing
none of the big 3 (steph, klay, dray) have to be traded from all the old and glory days (can retire warriors and be productive and handled respectfully)
trade cp3 while his value to a team and contributions on plus-minus are high
wiggings is worst performer on the team and is negatively affecting kuminga's minutes and kuminga is younger, more athletic, and does all of the same similar things
jerome is not needed, with retaining corey joseph as third string PG backup
trade moody as a young asset with value and upside to get deal with markenen done, and on the year plus-minus is a postive (+7)
trade looney, all he does is rebound but markenen rebounds (8.4 per game) and provides 24 ppg scoring punch, all in one player to free up our offense
(if looney wants to be kept for defense, our second unit without him still has it)
[THE TEAM'S IDENTITY]
1st unit builds the lead with unstoppable movement and scoring, 2nd unit keeps the lead and extends it with defense and stopping the other team
Overall:
This move causes less players to manage and as coach gives you more room to keep your job and get back to winning basketball without the worry of who is or isn't
on the floor and getting blamed for not having personnel playing when you may lose. Make the trade, then give it time to jell.
As a wolves fan go ahead and take KAT
Raptors need to go after a young PF that can be a plug in shooter. They have a playmaking wing with Barnes and an underrated playmaking center with Poetl. Jalen Johnson for Siakam would be a win win for both teams, Raptors get younger and build around their franchise player. Hawks get a great playmaking PF that plays defence with a nice post game who can give you 20+ to pair with Trae or Dejonte in pick and rolls
Brunson, OG, and another star flipped from Randle + picks would be an awesome core for years to come.
Knew Rose was a former sports agent & is therefore maybe not the best person to make personnel decisions. But, if Barrett switching agencies is the main reason they moved on from Barrett & not his performance based metrics – relative to pay -then, wow.
I kind of feel sorry for Knicks fans. How do you win a chip if your GM can't do his job because the president influences roster choices based on sports agency tribalism?
Always like the vids where you talk about behind the scenes front office stuff. For this reason, If you do another season preview for each team next season. Requesting maybe more focus on coach front office interviews with hope gaining insight towards what to expect with team & how they'll played would be appreciated.
The way Jalen Johnson has been playin idk if id trade him for Siakam
Like the idea of pairing Brunson with another Paul George. He's getting pretty old though. Perhaps Booker would be the better option because he's younger.
If the Raptors really wanted to tank, maybe swap Siakam for Randle and a couple of picks? I think Siakam would be better off not having to be relied on for creation duties. He could look better if split them with Brunson.
What was that blur about on the inside source quote?
If Siakam is not at the top of the Mavs list, then WHO IS??? He's a PERFECT fit; I've been dreaming of them pulling this off for years now wtf lol.
Was it just me who saw a blurry part of the screen?
Precious and Flynn are unplayable, so you're essentially trading Quickly and RJ for just OG. How did the Knicks win the trade?
Knicks should get Embiid
RJ can create his own shot. He’s just not great at it. Like he can do it against smaller defenders but someone who has some weight he’s not gonna get anything efficient.
Spidah dropped 70 he is the real deal
Every time Embiid is brought up getting traded to the Knicks or any other team, I'm just like, "Are these 'reporters' retarded?"
My man.. you are missing on quick 😎
Kid is special and will be more complet player then j.brunson who is an all-star this year, but that was not possible under thibs. OG is a Great fit for US. Win, Win 🙏
Disagree about the raps tanking to keep the spurs pick… this draft is trash, there isn’t anything really worth tanking for, it’s better for them to have the pick come across this year at mid lottery then in the future for better deeper drafts
Bol Bol is what we need in NY!!! Do not let him get away please 🙏🏾 and we can keep most of those 1st round picks
Idc care trade anybody but JJ
Wtf was that blurry box
The raptors should have gotten another first round pick
Paul George is 33 going on 34, I don't really see him leaving LA to go across the country, even if the playoffs disapoint.
Mavs don't need Siakem…Hawks maybe but ull lose equal value to get him….Siakem is a weird dude to trade for, his value is the ultimate question mark lol….Honestly, I'd move Brunson for him if they didn't already trade Quickley.
For this guy to say he rather 3 first instead of quickly and RJ man this guy is a gambler
its like mafia
Says the trade was won by both. Then proceeds to say Barrett and Quickly aren't goid enough 😅
Basically the Bloods & the Crips.
