The New-Look New York Knicks Are SCARY

The New-Look New York Knicks Are SCARY

The New York Knicks recently made a huge Splash in acquiring OG and an Obi and it is paying off while I understand some criticism of the trade it was one I always really understood from both sides I’ll dive into more of my thoughts on the trade in a moment but something is

Clearly working as the Knicks are currently on a four-game win streak since OG entered the lineup including wins over the Minnesota Timberwolves and Philadelphia 76ers the fourth seeded Knicks have looked dominant and they’re only going to get better today I’m going to be diving into the Knicks season so

Far they’re recent move and where they should go from here before we get into this if y’all could like the video sub to the channel and hit that noty Bell I would really appreciate it it would help me out a ton small NBA YouTuber trying to grow and without further Ado let’s

Get right into the video while I’m obviously going to discuss the likes of Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randall I’m going to start with the man of the hour OG and anobi and why I always like the move the Knicks weren’t paying IQ and couldn’t maximize him with Brunson and

In all honesty even if OG were to leave I’d rather 26 million in cap relief than our J Barrett OG obviously isn’t leaving but this emphasizes how much I like this deal I can understand how someone would think the sum of the talent of both quickly and RJ exceeds that of OG but

Given circumstances I think it was a good deal for both sides and a great one for the Nicks I personally think a large part of how this Knicks team looks is not only due to the presence of OG but also the removal of RJ obviously RJ has

Some level of talent but I really don’t like him on this team or on a contender in general Hest I’ve just never really been much of a fan of his game and while I think he could develop some more in Toronto I think it’s clear he’s not who we thought

He could be in high school and college but while getting off a negative contract and someone you couldn’t maximize or pay is great getting one of the hottest names in the league who wants to be in New York and is a seamless fit anywhere is even better

While I can understand that people would rather the Knicks waited until free agency this makes things sure while also getting off of a negative deal you secure your likely number one free agent Target in exchange for little little value to your situation while OG hasn’t had the offensive role he’s desired

Quite yet his impact goes far beyond staty with OG you get someone who can guard the other team’s best guard or wing while also giving you 15 or so a night on great three-point shooting he’s a guy who spaces the floor well and can give you something but won’t get in the

Way of your best scorers like uh some people we know the loss of Mitchell Robinson was crushing for the Knicks especially defensively but the addition of OG has returned hope for this niick season the Knicks team defense has increased exponentially since adding OG in the 13 games before the trade the

Knicks were allowing above 126 points a night and since getting OG that is all the way down to just shy of 101 this kind of impact is rarely seen from non bigs and when Mitch returns next season this will be a top top tier defense but

Even though the addition of OG and the subtraction of RJ helped the Knicks he’s obviously not the one primarily putting the ball in the basket Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randall are both having great seasons and funnily enough are pretty similar on this four game win streak since adding OG both guys have three

Outstanding games and one awful game in the last four Brunson averaged 313 and 8 on 5746 100 in the past three games against the Bulls Sixers and wizards but had 16 four and 14 on five of 23 from the field and one of nine from three against the

Wolves Julius Randle averaged 387 and3 on 57 3876 and three of the last four games against the Wolves bulls and wizards but had eight seven and five on one of 11 from the field and 0 of three from three against the Sixers obviously both of these guys are phenomenal

Players shown by three games of evidence but I thought this was kind of funny despite your occasional stinker however Brunson and Randle have both been on absolute heaters over the past 15 games I’m going to start off with Brunson as the Villanova Legend is definitely one

Of my favorite players first off it has been absolutely unreal to see Brunson blossom into a true Star as we all know he was one of the greatest college players of all time but basically had negative hype as a prospect we saw him start to Blossom in Dallas and ever

Since his arrival in New York he has been nothing short of outstanding Jaylen is currently averaging 264 and six on the season on solid efficiency and has really turned it up as of late over his last 15 games Brunson is averaging 284 and8 on 48 4385 including his unreal 50-point

Outing in Phoenix and 30 eight point game and a Christmas win over Milwaukee while I love Jaylen brunson’s game the way it was he has implemented the three-pointer significantly more this year than ever before and that is not only great but somewhat necessary in the high-paced game we see today but Brunson

Has not only shot the three more but is also shooting at a 43 1.5% clip which is not only the best of his career by a decent margin but also third in the NBA among players taking six or more threes a night while not as drastic due to

Brunson being a better shooter in the in the first place seeing guards like dearon Fox and Brunson add the three with great volume and efficiency gives me entire new outlooks for their games Brunson since he started playing 30 plus minutes two or so years ago was a 40% on

Four attempts guy which is nothing short of outstanding but this year Jaylen Brunson is shooting 43.5% from Deep on just over 6 and2 attempts a night with how lethal brunson’s in between mid-range and finishing game is him being this effective from Deep makes him nearly unguardable Brunson is Elite and

While Julius Randle had a bit of a slow start to the season he has picked it up recently in a big way in his past 15 games Julius Randle is averaging 28 9 and four on 53 25 83 splits while the three-point shooting has been pretty bad

You’d have to think it can’t say that way forever Julius really only has one year of great three-point shooting but prior to this year he is a career 33 a half% or so shooter should he progress to the mean Randle should be in line for another 259 and Four Season while I know

His playoff numbers have been lackluster I still feel like Randle gets severely underappreciated despite playing in the largest media Market I get why some don’t love Randall but he has been a pretty good player during his time in New York and I think I’d rather have him

Than what you could potentially get for him in the three years left on his deal as for the rest of the Knicks roster the Nova fan and me absolutely love seeing Brunson Devon chenzo and Hart all out there and Performing Dante dant chenzo may be having one of the most underrated

Seasons right now he’s putting up 113 and two in 21 minutes a night on great efficiency including a whopping 44.2% from Deep Isaiah hardenstein is also a solid backup big that is doing at least fine in regards to filling the Gap left by Mitchell Robinson while I like

The other pieces the Knicks have it’s clear that despite the big mve that something is missing while you weren’t going to pay him or maximize his talent losing the scoring of an Emanuel quickly Off the Bench is obviously tough right now I think Dante D venzo in an

Increased role could probably get his 11 to 15 while still being efficient but I still think the Knicks should make another splash the Knicks have a plethora of draft assets and a near $19 million contractor trade in Evan for I have a few ideas in mind so let’s get

Into it the first one I’m going to throw out there is 100% a Nova fan fantasy that definitely won’t happen but let me be the deal I have in mind would said male Bridges across town for Evan forier and three first round picks I think there is a world where male Bridges

Could be had at the deadline and I think there is a reason for the Knicks to maybe even Trade four first male now knows what it’s like to be a role player and a star player and this combined with his chemistry with his former Villanova teammates would make this a seamless fit

Mel is also similar to OG in some respects as a three and D player who can give you some more offensively and space the floor extremely well I can understand fear of redundancy with OG but this is honestly good redundancy if that makes sense Mel is also more

Developed as a scorer and Creator than OG and having him as your third scorer behind Brunson and Randall would be lethal now for the last part that would make him and one other guy worth four first potentially his contract Mel Bridges is a guy who would command 40 to

45 million on the open market that is under contract for this year and the two following at no more than $25 million a year this would allow the kns more flexibility this and next off season while adding an All-Star Talent the next guy who appears to certainly be

Available who I think could also fit pretty much anywhere is Lor marinin he is developed into an elite player after becoming somewhat of an afterthought in Chicago and Mike his contract is outstanding while he’s under contract for one year less than M his 17 to18 million figure this and next season

Would allow for great flexibility in this off season for the Knicks Lori is a seven-footer who isn’t the worst defender in the world who is also a game-changing floor spacer since arriving in Utah Lori is shooting 38.7% from Deep on just shy of eight attempts a game with averages of 259 and

Two Lori is also only 26 years old and could be the next best option with with it looking unlikely any Superstar player will become available soon the final guy I’ll talk about for the Knicks to potentially Target is dejonte Murray while I understand objection to this he has somewhat reinvented his game playing

Next to Trey young and is now shooting north of 38% from Deep his contract is also not awful as it averages out to around $25 million a year while his defense has declined he could be rejuvenated under tibs and had at a somewhat low cost I can understand why

People wouldn’t want him but he could be a secondary ball handler and scorer while being a decent Defender and playmaker there are other smaller trade targets like an Alex Caruso that I think could Elevate this team on both ends but with the amount of teams that should be

In on Caruso you can never be too sure about one team that he could go to with hardenstein being fine I don’t think there’s any need to trade value for a big maybe a backup like Drummond but I don’t see anyone that would be worth giving up assets for with having Mitch

On the roster for next year with teams like Boston I’m not exactly sure what this niick team can do right now but they are definitely moving in the right direction they are building a culture that could finally attract a superstar free agent to the garden and have a

Bonafide star in Jaylen Brunson Nick’s basketball should officially be back for the Long Haul and I think that’s always great for the league that’s going to wrap this one up if youall enjoyed it please like it up sub to the channel hit that noty Bell I would really really

Appreciate it let me know down below what you guys think about the OG trade what you guys think the Nick should do from here how far you think this Nick’s team could go again you know I I think they can maybe upset a a Philly or Milwaukee I can’t pick anyone to beat

Boston I’m sorry yeah I I’m sorry I I really just can’t pick anyone to beat that Boston team that team is just unreal but again man the Knicks are trending in a great great direction and you know it should be fun I love watching Jaylen Brunson play basketball

Man just once again like you know just a Nova fan of me it it’s just been so great seeing him Ascend and you know doing it in the garden you know I I it’s been great it’s been great man but that’s going to wrap this one up for

Real I’ll catch you on the next one peace
