Leon’s NEXT MOVE… | New York Knicks News

Leon’s NEXT MOVE… | New York Knicks News

Reports are escalating the New York Knicks are absolutely on the phones right now trying to get a star player on this roster but here’s the question who’s that star player there’s been a lot of names associated with the Knicks you have Donovan Mitchell you have dejonte Murray those two are stars but

If you’re Leon Rose which particular player are you going to add to this Nicks roster to make them a contender well according to the reports from a lot of NBA insiders it seems there’s one that’s available right now that the New York Knicks are likely going to Target

And try to acquire to get on this roster we’re going to break down this report and so much more today so be sure you’re subscribe to the channel and have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started Leon Rose’s next move that’s the

Question right that’s the big unanswered question what is Leon Rose’s next move going to be for this Knicks team he already went ahead and made a trade for ogan anobi Malachi Flynn and of course PR aoua to get on this Knicks team that gives us size gives us depth but more

Importantly gives us the wing that we’ve needed if you’re looking at the Knicks roster right now and you’re looking at in terms of what they need the most they need another guard in the back court to paer with Jaylen Brunson and all the reports coming out lately have been that

The New York Knicks are actively on the phone looking for a star caliber player not a bench player even though they’ve been linked to a number of bench player names they are still looking for a star they are actively seeking and trying to get a star player on this team and available

Across the league there have been two stars two names that have been associated with the New York Knicks or at least been linked to them and that’s been Donovan Mitchell and Dej Murray and according to recent reports from NBA insiders we have these reports to look at because it seems that dejon Murray

May be the most realistic Target for the New York Knicks as you can see here according to Bleacher Report as the Knicks remain interested in dejon Murray even after trading for ogn and Obi and as you can see here with Donovan Mitchell the updated report here is that

The New York Knicks will not pursue spider heavily at least during this season New York does not intend to make an allout deal for Donovan Mitchell and also the Cav are not entertaining offers as well just based on these two articles alone I think it’s very clear to see the

New York Knicks are looking for a star but it seems like they’re leaning more toward dejonte Murray than they are toward Donovan Mitchell and that probably has to do with fit more than anything else because if you look at the back court if you look at what the New

York Knicks are looking to build right now they are looking like they’re trying to build a Defensive Juggernaut you have OG an anobi already and he on the def defensive end has just been phenomenal for this Knicks team he is filling in exactly where he needs to fill in he is

Perfect he is a perfect fit and he is exactly the player that Nicks have needed for the last few seasons if you’ve been watching Nicks basketball over the last few games then it’s absolutely clear to you too OG an anobi was the next piece that they needed but

They need another guard now to appear in the back court with Jaylen Brunson I love Donovan Mitchell I think he’s box office and I think if he came here to play with Jaylen Brunson those two would absolutely be phenomenal because Donovan Mitchell would increase his assist numbers by a lot because he’s playing

With Jaylen Brunson who is one of the best catch and shoot Shooters in the league but Murray gives you more size he’s more defensive minded he can score as well too he can help pull Defenders around you no matter where you are he is

One of the best in the game in terms of passing that ball getting others involved and making sure everybody is touching the Rock and as a New York Nick fan that’s what you want to see I love Jaylen I love Julius but I don’t want to see those two holding the ball every

Single possession I want to see that ball moving around touching different hands touching different nick players because that’s going to make defenses second guess what they need to do keep them on their toes and also make it easier for the Knicks to score either in transition whether they’re in the paint

Or if they’re moving the ball alongside the three-point line trying to get the best shooter open either way these type of moves help the New York Knicks and I think Murray fits the bill better than anybody else and if you’re looking at Mark Stein here another NBA Insider he

Seems to agree with me here because he states that the New York Knicks are not going to pursue Donovan Mitchell aggressively according to Mark Stein he reported that the Knicks do not intend to mount an allout pursuit of Donovan Mitchell ahead of the NBA February 8 trade deadline also the Cleveland

Cavaliers for that matter signal to rival teams throughout December that they aren’t prepared to entertain a Mitchell Overture as well and going back to why it could still be dejonte Murray as we can clearly see here NBA Insider Chris Haynes does expect that dejonte Murray will be traded his exact quote is

I do believe the jonte Murray will likely be traded by the deadline that’s my belief if that’s not enough NBA Insider Mark Stein actually reported and comment on Chris haynes’s report he stated the following my podcast partner Chris Haynes of Turner Sports said on a bleacher report live stream Friday that

Philadelphia and the Los Angeles Lakers are teams that potentially could emerge as the Dante Murray suitors the Knicks have also been increasingly mentioned as a team with Murray interest multiple reports including from Stein indicated that the Atlanta Hawks are actively shopping Murray around nearly every single report that’s

Come out has had the New York Knicks in some way or another linked to Deon tari looking to trade for him looking to add him to the roster and there’s a reason for that he is a star whether you want to believe that or not he’s a former

Allstar he’s all NBA defensive team he’s also that as well too he’s an all NBA type of Defender who will help Jaylen Brunson in the back court we have to remember that as well and if you’re looking at the fit between him and Donovan Mitchell it’s because of his

Size and his defensive tenacity which is why he’s a better fit in the back court than Donovan Mitchell is Donovan has the star name if you hear Donovan Mitchell you think oh the Knicks got a star if the Knicks add DE jante Murray you don’t have that same feeling because his name

Doesn’t elicit star but Donovan Mitchell that name does sound like a star name besides the name just looking at the game Murray fits the team better than Donovan Mitchell does and that’s just my opinion on it Donovan Mitchell even though he’s is great and in terms of

Offense he’s one of the best offensive players in the game but defensively even though he’s good he still leaves a lot to be desired Murray not the same thing and offensively he can also score as well too I believe he’s 20 points per game or a little bit higher than that

The Knicks absolutely need that and here’s the thing I think muray would be okay with settling in for a number two roll on the team or a number three roll on the team with Donovan Mitchell he almost Auto automatically has to be your number one but Murray helps to build the

Team helps complement the team Donovan Mitchell if you get him on the team it’s like you have to build around him in order for it to work right now if you add Murray it’s adding to the Knicks and what can work what will help them win what will help this current team win

More and that’s why muray in my opinion makes the most sense but again even according to all the reports that we’ve been looking at Donovan Mitchell with the New York Knicks just doesn’t seem to be in the Cs for this season is it possible that potentially he could be on

The Knicks next season absolutely Anything Could Happen depending on how the Knicks look after the trades that they make depending on how they look in the playoffs depending on how the Cavs look depending on how much Donovan Mitchell’s price tag is going to be at the time if he is available for trade

All those things are factors that’s going to determine whether or not the New York Knicks want to trade for Donovan but I’ll say this very clearly if the Knicks get Murray and it looks good and it works you can say bye-bye to the Donovan Mitchell to the New York

Nick story because I don’t think it’s going to happen not at all especially if marray works because there won’t be a need for it and personally speaking I think the Knicks know this as well too I think that they know muray is the better fit in the back court with Jaylen

Brunson given the team they have now and the team they’re looking to build and it’s not Donovan Mitchell at this point in time anymore that again could change as we move forward but as of right now and according to all the reports it seems like the direction the New York

Knicks are headed is in the dejon Murray Direction and that seems to be the next move that the New York Knicks and Leon Rose are going to make and even more doubling down on the fact that Donovan Mitchell likely will not be moved this season check out this report in a recent

Episode of the wine and gold Talk podcast a reporter for cleveland.com Chris Fedor asserts that the Cavs are not willing to put Donovan Mitchell’s name on the table his exact quote is the Cavs have zero interest in trading Donovan Mitchell they haven’t even thought about it further it appears that

Mitchell himself is happy where he is and is in no way looking forward to changing that anytime soon beyond that I’ve talked to Donovan about this multiple times he is happy right now where he is at he is happy being a Cleveland Cavalier he believes in this team he believes in this

Roster he’s happy he believes in this team he believes in this roster three statements that New York Nick fans wish they could never hear because if that’s the case do you think he’s goingon to leave Cleveland this season do you think the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to

Look to trade him this season based on everything that we’re hearing because in my opinion it doesn’t seem like that’s the case oh and to put it even further into the dejon Murray camp this is an update from W on the Hawks absolutely open for business on trades GM Landry feels seems

Determined to make changes to that roster oh and another NBA Insider and Jake fiser of Yahoo sports States the Knicks are not done in regards to training they saved all their first round picks they still have Evan forier stock it’s all true but listen to this

Line they are going to be involved in the dejon Murray talks now he goes on to mention a lot of other things as well too but again another NBA Insider another reporter basically mentioning the fact that the New York Knicks are linked to dejon Murray targeting dejon Murray going after dejon Murray think

He’s the best fit with Jaylen Brunson in the back court think he works with this niick team thinks he helps build this Knicks team into a contender that’s essentially what’s on the table here so given all of these reports all of these insiders all the things that we’ve been

Covering today and on this channel for the last few weeks in my opinion it is absolutely crystal clear you want want to know Leon Rose’s next move you want to know who that player is it’s simple listen up listen close de jante Murray not Don Vin Mitchell not any other star

You can think of in your head right now the move the move the star the star that the New York Knicks are going to get that they’re targeting that they’re going to go after and in my opinion that they will get on this roster very very soon is the jeon Murray because every

Single thing is pointing to that and it’s not pointing to anything else even the reports about the New York Knicks wanting a star not depth not a bench player not Malcolm Brogan that was not reported they want a star or starting caliber player who fits that bill in terms of players

Available don’t worry I’ll give you a second or two to think about it I’ll just look over some notes while you do that okay H okay okay enough time okay you’re with me now perfect it’s not Donovan it’s not Malcolm brodman it’s not Alec Burks it’s not any other star you’re thinking in

Your head it’s deante that’s the guy that’s the move Leon’s next move the big answer to that question Murray it’s Murray it’s been Murray for a while it’s Murray today it’s going to be Murray tomorrow and it’s going to be Murray every single day until they make that

Trade muray Murray Murray all things are pointing to Murray but what about you guys what do you think about all of these reports basically signaling the fact that the New York Knicks are likely going to go after Target and acquire the jeon Murray over anybody including Donovan Mitchell let me know in the

Comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s gonna do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans peace

Over the last few weeks, there have been a number of NBA players linked to the New York Knicks. Bench players, star players, and Superstar players. However, during this trade deadline season for the NBA, there aren’t many stars available, even though that’s exactly the player the Knicks are looking for. They clearly need a backcourt mate to pair with Jalen Brunson, and it seems like they are decided on one specific player. It may not be the player that you want, but he might fit the best. Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
