Knicks INTERESTED In Hornets All-Star… | Knicks News

The New York Knicks continue to remain patient as they try to find another player to add to this roster and over the last few weeks they’ve been linked to a number of different players as they remain active on the trade market however they may not be only looking at

The trade market to make an upgrade at this roster they might be looking at the buyout Market as well too and according to one NBA Insider they have their eyes set on one specific player who is currently playing for the Charlotte Hornets and he used to be a former Allstar

Gordon Hayward 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 the Knicks are showing trade interest in Gordon Hayward the Knicks

Have been linked to a number of different players over the last few weeks dejon Murray Clint capella boan bogdanovic Alec Burks Malcolm broglin the list goes on and on but now apparently according to NBA Insider and reporter for the New York daily news christien Winfield he reports that the

Knicks have shown interest in former Allstar Gordon Hayward he States the following Hayward is a popular buyout candidate linked to the Knicks given head coach Tom tiido has praised Hayward to the media ahead of tip off in each of the two games against the Charlotte Hornets this season Winfield notes that

Hayward is averaging 14.5 points this season and he could be an above average starter or a six-man for the New York Knicks and the fact that Hayward is a potential buyout candidate is an ideal scenario for the Knicks because likely they wouldn’t want to give up so many

Assets to trade for him and according to Jake fiser of Yahoo sports he states that Hayward is likely going to get moved before the trade deadline he’s a wing player that is absolutely for the taking that I think on an expiring contract has more likelihood than ever

To get moved he follows that up by saying though that being said because of the expiring a lot of teams are looking at Hayward as a buyou possibility shout out to NBA insiders chrisen Winfield and Jake fiser for giving us these updates on the New York Knicks and potentially the move that

They’re trying to make now listen I understand they’re still looking to make that move they’re still looking to make that trade however Gordon Hayward has been a player that Tom th Leon Rose and the Knicks have been looking at and trying to Target for the last few years

Before he even joined the Charlotte Hornets there was a lot of rumors that the Knicks were trying to trade for him and get him on the Knicks roster dibs loves him loves his playmaking a lot and loves the type of player that he is so there’s no question at all if he’s a

Buyout candidate if the Hornets actually buy him out because they can’t move him to another team because the assets that they’re getting back just don’t seem to make sense or maybe nobody’s even calling trying trying to shake that tree seeing what they could potentially get for a Gordon Hayward so if that’s the

Case it might make sense for Hayward and the Hornets to just buy him out and see if Hayward can go to another team or a contender where he can be utilized more and he can have a more prominent impact than what he’s doing right now with the

Charlotte Hornets and if you guys don’t remember exactly what Tom tho have to say about Gordon Hayward let me showcase exactly what he said so you can understand why if Hayward is bought out he will absolutely Ely automatically in my opinion be a New York Nick that’s how

Fast they’re going to add him take a look at Tom Theo’s comments here regarding potentially adding Gordon Hayward in free agency we looked at all the free agents and so we’ll just leave it at that but we know how talented He Is We had him rated pretty high on our

Board there were a number of top guys who we thought would fit us it didn’t work out this time and we’ll see how it works out in the future Divo continues here by stating Gordon hayward’s playmaking ability is really what stood out to me Tibido said this in regards to

What he saw when coaching against him there’s a lot of guys who get points but they’re not high assist guys he’s always been a high assist guy he reminded me of Jimmy Butler in that way in terms of his decision-making and ability to make other people better and that goes a long

Way Ian Bagley of SNY also an NBA Insider also noted that Tom thibo has long been a fan of the game Hayward plays as I said at the top of the show if Hayward is bought out the number one team and likely the number one coach

That’s going to be pushing to sign him is going to be the New York Knicks and Tom thibo as you can clearly see thibs loves him loves his game thinks of him similar to Jimmy Butler and he potentially could either come off the bench for the Knicks he could start at

Times for the Knicks he has so many different roles he could play for this Knicks team under Tom tho when a coach loves you reveres you and loves your game to the extent Tom thibo loves hayward’s game I think it’s the perfect fit for Hayward to come to the Knicks if

He’s bought out now if you want my opinion on this matter I don’t think Hayward is the answer if you can get him for cheap get his value up and potentially flip him later I’m okay with that we need more size and shooting anyways so I have no problem with that

He is injury prone but if you’re getting him as part of a buyout deal then it’s no issue at all because at least at that point in time you’re likely not giving up a lot of assets to sign him and you’re likely signing him to a very

Lowcost deal so in my opinion if you’re doing that I don’t mind the addition at all I wouldn’t trade for him if I’m the New York Knicks I’m not going to do that but if he’s bought out if I’m the Knicks I’m gonna take a look and see if I can

Add him because again he adds size he adds scoring he adds shooting and if you could get his value up you could potentially flip him down the road for another player that you really really want so I’m okay with the move however that cannot be your your only move you

Have to do something else you still have Evan forier you still have all of those protected picks you still need to utilize those to get another player on this roster that can help Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randall rest on that bench a little bit longer so that way you don’t

Have to play with the reserves each and every night playing 40 plus minutes each and every night the Knicks need to make that move Hayward is a good move but he is not the move the Knicks need to make an absolute another move that’s an impactful move that can help the Knicks

Shore up their bench so that way Brunson even more than Randall can take more of a rest take more of a break because Randall is an Iron Man he’s going to play every single game regardless of how many minutes you put him out there for now you don’t want to go ahead and

Stress him out there but you know he can handle it Jaylen Brunson even though he can handle it he’s dealing with an injury right now we don’t want him to deal with any nagging injuries going into the playoffs so in my opinion if you can get point guard help for Jaylen

Brunson either pairing him in the back court with somebody else or you get bench help for him either way that’s going to help the Knicks it’s gonna help Jaylen Brunson and it’s gonna help this team overall Leon Rose you need to make another move OG was good I need to see

Great because if you make a great move you turn this Knicks team into a contender but what about you guys what do you think about this situation with the New York Knicks potentially being interested in adding Gordon Hayward to this roster let me know in the comments

Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to 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
