Knicks INTERESTED in DeMar DeRozan… | Knicks News

There have been conflicting reports on whether the New York Knicks have interest in demard De rozan so we are going to break this down so what’s up guys welcome back to Nick digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to jump right into the video today but make sure very

Quickly to subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss any videos that we put out 15.2% of our viewers are subscribed let’s get that number up guys but now let’s just talk about what we’re here to talk about which is dear d rozan d rozan and the Knicks have been linked for a

Few years now it always feels feel like he’s someone the Knicks could Target depending on the regime look maybe he’s just a name maybe it’s just because he’s one of the bigger names in basketball but D rozan has been targeted as a potential Nick since around the Summer

Where the bull signs D roen and Lonzo ball it seems as if the Knicks also had interest like they may have tried to sign him before signing Evan forier instead which obviously in hindsight was a massive error but we survived the Knicks are good and the Bulls are not so

Clearly it’s all okay but according to reports according to Amo Hoops the 76ers heat and nicks are all expected to show interest in Demar D rozan and really there have been conflicting reports about this and to essentially show you guys what I mean Demar D rozan and Zach

LaVine are two players who could be moved to the deadline according to SNY and would the Knicks have interest is the question according to Ian Begley as he noted he’d be somewhat surprised if New York pursued D rozan aggressively and even more surprised if the Knicks pursued LaVine aggressively we’ve made a

Few videos on Zack LaVine but it has been a while since then because it’s been pretty clear the Knicks are not going to make a move for Zack LaVine at the end of the day LaVine is a client of clutch Sports he’s just his value is

Weird right now he doesn’t make sense to the Knicks the Knicks know that the Bulls know that Zach LaVine knows that and again to top it all off clutch Sports CA Lavine is one of their bigger clients that’s not happening D rozan on the other hand feels more likely but as

Ian Begley said probably not going to happen the Knicks are probably not going to aggressively pursue him aggressively being the key word so the Knicks might check in on his price and think all right is he worth the rental is he worth the six-month rental can we kind of do

With him like what we did with RJ and have him start the game have him finish the game but stagger his minutes so that he’s mainly playing with the bench unit and giving the Nick shot creation with that bench unit that he’s mainly playing with it would be interesting to see I

Think on one hand it would be decent for the Knicks but also the shooting Factor kind of makes things a little iffy the man is not exactly a high volume three-point shooter and he shoots 32.9% from three this season so I don’t know if he’s exactly the answer that the

New York Knicks need especially if you’re going to move Dante Devan chenzo to the bench in exchange for this guy where instead of having someone who’s been lights out since he joined the starting lineup in D venzo you’d have D rozan who’s really not who’s trying to

Work from the inside and wants the ball in his hands like Bronson and like Randall which is obviously the problem that RJ Barrett had with the Knicks now yes D Roan’s better than RJ he’s a better shot Creator than RJ by far but still it is

Something to be aware of that the Knicks just kind of made the team fit better with each other I don’t think adding dear de R rozan would help the fit I think that’s kind of similar to Deonte Murray but D rozan does have interest in the Knicks and that has to be noted

Because according to Sam amk of the athletic D rozan would reportedly be open to a trade and if he’s dealt New York is one of the two preferred locations and what he said is that when it comes to possible destinations the Heat and the Knicks are known to be

Preferable to D rozan if he winds up getting moved side note the Bulls should move him there’s no reason to keep him he’ll just walk in free agency anyway get Pennies on the dollar back if you can Chicago just don’t lose him for nothing that’d be so stupid you guys do

Everything wrong please just don’t mess this up and let us watch Dem Mar rosan in the playoffs because we want to see that and we all know you guys aren’t getting there but really no no shade towards Bulls digest we love him over here but um the real thing is here the

Knicks don’t really need Demar d rozan as much as they need someone to come off the bench play the minutes that Jaylen Brunson doesn’t have to play so the man can get some actual time on the bench so he could rest and then that’s really it

Maybe get a guy who could back up Randall and sort of be insurance if Julius goes down but even having OG on aobi now it’s kind of like you could put him at the four and have him be a small ball four and then start Josh Hart or

Something like that there’s moves to make if Reno goes down having OG and his size now but really what the Knicks need is some sort of backup point guard who can create his own shot and create for others such as Malcolm Brockton or something like that I don’t exactly

Think that it would make sense for the Knicks to go for demard de rozan I don’t think it would really hurt the team that much but it’s just the the lack of shooting I I think I just want to go into the playoffs with the Knicks team

That knows how to shoot the ball and shoots the ball very well between Brunson anobi and Devan chenzo also having a guy like hartenstein who can create some spacing really making plays at the high post and also getting a ton of offensive boards and then Randall can just attack inside in those one-on-one

Matchups and if you are the Knicks and if you go into the playoffs when Randall attacks he’s not going to get one-on-one matchups if the rosen’s on the court because people are going to be playing off to rzan and daring him to shoot threes like they have been for the last

10 years on demard De rzan when he makes the playoffs that’s my concern we know that Demar de Roan’s good I mean if you look at his stats this season he’s averaging 22 points per game four rebounds and five assists he’s shooting 46% from the field 33.9% from

Three and I mean he’s having a good season like don’t get me wrong but it’s also the worst season he’s had with the bulls and probably because the Bulls are having the most turmoil right now so rosen’s first season with Chicago we averaged 28 points per game then was

Around 24.5 points per game last season now he’s down to 22 could that be aged probably to a degree it’s age but it’s also just the fact that the Knicks really or the Bulls really are in complete disaster mode I don’t know what they’re doing they don’t know what

They’re doing no one knows what they’re doing and because of that D rozan is kind of trying to figure it out same thing as LaVine they’re really not having their best seasons and I think because Chicago has just been really toxic over the past few seasons especially this one and they probably

Both want to get traded for the good of their careers I just don’t think the Knicks are the place for D rozan like yeah we need shot creation and yeah D rozan would help us out with that a ton but also then we benched de venzo who’s having a monster season we’re probably

Using Quinton grimes’s contract for that we’re probably using Evan forer’s contract for that D Roan’s a free agent at the end of the year we wouldn’t be able to flip him in a trade for a star that’s not possible because the D rozan would probably walk in free agency let’s

Be real or he’d resign and then there would be a limit on when he could be traded so if thenx wanted to make a deal this summer they wouldn’t be able to they’d also have to figure out how to make D rozan work in the starting lineup

And make him look good enough to be traded and obviously he is but with the Knicks sometimes that’s not going to happen like with RJ Barrett reports that the rafters were one of the few teams who still respectfully valued him in the NBA and that’s because RJ’s fit was

Awful with the Knicks now he’s on the Raptors and he he’s averaging 20 and seven he’s having a great year with them so far because he fits on the team D rozan doesn’t fit on the Nicks I don’t think this would be a good idea I don’t

Think it works out comment down below if you disagree comment down below if you agree should the Knicks go for D rozan because look at the end of the day it does fix their shot creation problem that the Knicks do have especially when it comes to Wings and forwards the

Frozen can help so like this video subscribe to the channel make sure you don’t miss any content from Nix digest and let me know down below if you think d r rozan could help the Knicks go farther in the playoffs this year and potentially down the line whether he’s

Traded or he just sticks around and plays out the rest of his Prime in New York thanks for watching have a great day and go ni

  1. I like the idea of adding both Lowry and Derozan. They have chemistry from Raptors days. They’re actually best friends.

  2. I want Murray he is only 26 and a stud. If they can't get Murray i wouldn't mind Derozen he is 35 but he is a bucket and could get his own shot also passes the rock very well.

  3. You said a couple key things:
    1. He would be Pennies on the dollar – We might not have to give up Grimes or first rounds picks for him like we would for DJM
    2. He WANTS to be here – He (unlike Donovan Mitchell) has actually said wants to be here as 1 of 2 destinations. Meaning he’d be willing to resign for a fair price and wouldn’t just be a rental (just like OG)
    3. Playmaking – we’ve seen the Knicks without JB for 2 games and when he’s on the bench; they struggle offensively. There’s no one that can create their own shot at will (including OG). Derozan can score pretty much whenever he wants, he’s improved his 3pt shot and can create for others averaging 5.3 assist pg.
    4. Clutch – we’ve seen this Knicks team choke at times down the stretch missing big free throws and shots. Derozan is that dude down the stretch.
    5. Double team – teams will be forced to be limited on double teams knowing that they can’t leave Derozan and JR open, which gives JB more room to cook.

    I think it’s a better fit than people think. LGK

  4. DeMar DeRozan Go and get them. He's a type of guy you need. When playoff times comes around everybody don't need to start jacking up threes in the playoffs playoffs. Everything slows down, go and get them

  5. Derozen only makes sense coming off the bench w/our roster. Donte gives them the needed boost on defense & the added 3pt threat to open the lanes for JB & JR.

  6. Derozan can play off the ball and he creates for teammates. His 3 could be better but he plays D. The number 1 thing is he has vet experience in the playoffs

  7. DeRozan would be expensive and you don't want to mess with the present starting unit. Knicks need bench help, Brogdon is the best option. Knicks also need a big if Mitchell is out for the playoffs. If Mitchell is out maybe you can do a Mitchell for Jakob Poetl.
