Knicks Intrigued By Possible Daniel Gafford Trade | Wizards Trade Option

Okay so let’s get to it man there’s some news that I want to talk about it’s kind of small but kind of I don’t know what to make of it I don’t know what to make of it um I’ve heard the Daniel Gafford rumors kind of floating about Nick’s

Like uh I think Bleacher Report or something was talking about yeah bleach report was talking about Daniel Gafford being here and I was like okay well we’ll see but then Ian wrote about it yesterday and I was like uhoh uhoh what’s happening here so I’m gonna touch on it I’m gon to read

The article that Yan wrote so here we go it says Quinton Grimes drawing trade interest from Hawks Wizards Jazz Nicks intrigued by Daniel gatford intrigued what does that mean intrigued intg read what does that mean things that make you go Ian Begley NBA Inside rights Grimes

Just fine the Knicks are 11- two since OG ano be tray they have the NBA’s best defense over that span and second highest net rating um only the Cleveland Cavaliers net rating is higher than New York Knicks side note Cleveland Cavalier has played a bunch of easy teams Detroit

Twice Wizards twice net they like so I’m I guess they should have it kind of like us I guess whatever I’m I feel like I’m hating I probably am right it’s not hyperbole to say that the ncks is one of the best three- week stretches in its recent franchise history it all started

Obviously with and the Amobi trade the Nicks next trade May determine just how far the club can go in postseason uh they’re looking for a secondary Bowl handle help you guys already know that and Quinton Grimes name Quinton Grimes name is in the middle of it all

Um you know let me pass forward all this let me get to this part because we already know all that information Rafford on the radar Washington’s interest in Grimes is noteworthy for several reasons one of them the Nicks have wizards big man Daniel gaffard on their radar sources confirm the interest

In Gafford comes while New York is dealing with injuries to Isaiah hardenstein and Mitchell Robinson earlier this month the Knicks were optimistic that Robinson could return before the end of the regular season hartenstein has missed two games due to left Achilles issue I feel like this Achilles stuff is nagging too I don’t

Know if that’s what it is he played with similar ailment last season as you expect there is some concern over Haren Stein’s health and his availability moving forward hence the interest in 25y Old Gafford Gafford is averaging 10.7 boards two blocks and one steal per game

In 38 starts for the wizards but maybe the Knicks won’t have a need for Center in two weeks from now press precious ailo has played well for for in past three games he and Jericho Sims both played key roles in New York’s win over Brooklyn All right

So man it’s like okay so we we have we have the Nick’s interest in Daniel we have Mitch Robinson to me who’s obviously the better player I think everybody agreed that Mitch is better than Dan Daniel we have hartenstein who might need a contract extension but I don’t think he’s going

To be that expensive to where we can’t afford it it might he might be 14 million so like I’m not understanding The Gafford interest if you feel like Mitch is coming back and you feel like hardenstein is coming back unless two things only two things I can think of is you feel

Like you’re not sure if hartenstein will be back and it’s going to be a nagging injury or you also feel like Mitch is like um Mitch is too injury prone and you might want to flip Mitch because you you’re afraid that even though you know he’s a better

Player you want him to be available you’re not sure about his availability moving forward so you figured we’ll take on Gafford to who might not be as good but we know he’ll be here um that’s the only thing I can think of right now because we have precious and and we have

Sims who are playing well for us so that’s the only thing I I can think of that they might be thinking I don’t know what you guys read on it might be I mean DAV is nice but not like you’re bringing a veteran with a bunch of playoff experience what’s it what’s the

Real difference between him and Sims in my opinion like the impact I think is greater with Gafford especially the ri protection he’s a great weat side shot blocker but overall he’s not worth giving up pieces to go get when you have Sims and precious in the rotation if

It’s a package deal it’s maybe like a Diddy Aisha with Gafford tyus Jones with Gafford I’m more interested but just Gafford I’ll pass yeah we get tyus Jan and Denny they’re not I can’t see them trading Denny they are not trading Den me neither I’m all in on that yes like

I’m not I’m not with yeah I’m not with the tus and Gaff combo uh I don’t want to I feel like McBride tyus Jones back court for the bch would be kind of disastrous a little bit I don’t know I don’t want to you know I don’t have a

Crystal ball or nothing but I I have a hunch that it wouldn’t be good right because it’s like Gafford cost 12 million so like we know our Prime targets we trying to get rid of Evan right we’re trying to trade Evan so it’s like Evan is 18 mil 18.5 Gaff is 12 so

It would have to be Gaff in somebody it’s not going to be gaffed by himself right if if if you’re only if we’re really just trying to trade Evan then it’s who Gafford and who Gafford and tyus gives you 24 million I like tyus Jones but his height

Is the only thing that’s that’s that’s a only thing only the only thing I agree with you I remember telling before you got here I told Jay I remember her point was something you can’t argue and you’re right his height there’s no arguing that it’s it’s too small of a back court

Especially a close you don’t want two 61 guys closing the back court no you don’t and I’m not saying he not nice because he’s short I’m just saying that right now way our team is set up that that probably might be a disaster on the

Other end uh big brde and and tus in that back court so are they I I don’t want to say it but but it seems like the money might work gford is 12 12 million tius is 14 26 that’s 26 we have we have Evan who’s 18 or 18 and a

Half then we have Grimes who is what three three that’s 21 then it probably be it’ll be it probably be Grimes Evan and Ryan a for tus and Daniel that’s the only thing I can think of that they might trade exception H trade exception yeah think the trade exception

Will be able to fill up um the rest of that deal if it is f8 and Grimes probably can you can you combine trade exceptions with um salary Fritz Fritz are our resident uh uh an NBA business guy can you do that yeah Fritz says they can’t use a

Trade exception so they would have to throw in in that deal so it would probably be forier Grimes Ryan and their first Stanley trying to Stanley Noak is trying to suit up about find and I will suit so yeah like so it would be it

Would be Evan it would be Evan Ryan and Grimes R tius and Gafford that makes us better y’all I mean it does that’s a finals run team right there who we giving up again you said we gota give up who it would be Grimes and

Evan Grimes I can’t give up 65 for for tus six and not unless they gonna get somebody in that in that in that uh buyout market and if the answer is Gord and hay with it no it’s it’s weird because it’s like you have tius here who

61 you trading Grimes so now you have a back court on the bench of tius who 61 and Deuce who six six not to mention precious being our backup uh Cent who’s at 68 so we we got this I’m I’m all for short players but man you can’t have like three you can’t

Have three people in the bench no do you think it’s possible that we could pull this tradeoff without including Grimes that we’re winning it all yeah Fritz says forier and Ryan is enough but it’s going to put Nicks over the tax worth it who win the championship share

Yeah if they could get those pieces if they get a piece without giving up Grimes to me yeah I think I think I think we got sh the shot agreed I I told you with Milwaukee with Milwaukee they can’t defend anybody I’m really not worried about milwauke they got a lot to

Overcome um right yeah got their butt beat by Cleveland again yeah I’m not a Believer Philly Philly they could play both ends of the court but you see they they going through injury issues M themselves and that looks different their team look different when you go through injuries because they so so star

Heavy kind of you know um shoot we going to injuries injury issues right now yeah but we got a team well we’ll we’ll see after this because Randall is a big like we have a team but losing Randall and Brunson like losing any one

Of those guys is a is a big deal yeah the whole thing with with with losing Randle um the spacing like you know another banded Creator but if that who depending if they if that plug Josh Hart in there with OG and them then you got

Somebody else to to play that area kind of you know not not on a Julius Randle uh level but enough to get us by right yeah so it’s it’s not a floww right I’ll say this though um I know Julius R is going to probably be

Out for a while but I would like to see the Knicks go with ihart OD at the four Grimes at the three Dante at the two and Bron at the one just to see the spacing for that team because the spacing is going to be crazy

And and it should give Brunson a lot of wide open lanes to exploit but I can also see teams also trying to trap Brunson and get the ball out of his hands as well but yeah but but but I think with the shooters that the Knicks have they could probably take that they

Could probably use it to their advantage and move the ball on the perimeter when he does get trapped and get some open thre and probably and hopefully knock him down it’s going to be interesting to see how the Knicks look without Julius Randall what was what was your lineup again ihart OG Grimes

Dante and Brunson yes I would rather see that lineup I want I’ve been wan to see that I want I’ve been wanting to see Dante and Grimes in the same lineup all year it hasn’t happened that many minutes no not that many it happened like I think in that actually happened

In a Nuggets game recently um they got some minutes together yeah yeah it doesn’t happen often I was looking at cleaning the glass last week looking at this is what you do when your Knicks fan you look at stupid stuff I was looking at lineups with Dante I was looking at

Lineups with Dante and Grimes together and there were certain lineups that was atrocious but there were certain lineups that really worked that were the off where they were like a really high plus minus but it were just it wasn’t enough possessions to make a definitive you know call on whether it’s

Good or not you just you just figured two Shooters you’re good so um but I feel like tibs is just afraid of the size difference like he all of a sudden he’s afraid of I was reading that all of a sudden he’s afraid that Grimes is too small after he’s been guarding small

Fors for most of his career it’s kind of interesting that sounds like an excuse to get him out of here I’m not feeling that tips I’m not feeling that at all yeah but like Daniel Daniel Gafford man he he 2.2 blocks a game his field goal percentage

Is high 69% he might be leading the league in field goal percentage because when I was looking at his stats that had was bolded which usually means you’re number one in the NBA so he might be leading the league in field goal percentage uh when it comes to steals he’s pretty

Decent steel rate for his position I mean he would be a good addition it’s just do we need him longterm and Mitch’s back and and what does that mean for iHeart what does that mean for Mitch if we have Gafford here and we have him here for

Two years like are we is he just here for insurance or are we gonna end up flipping him in the summer for somebody else yeah I don’t understand that but maybe that’s that’s a plan they they see a two-part plan who knows yeah but I

Would say no you would say no n if you had to give up grind no n I feel like I feel like we G I don’t know man I feel we GNA regret I feel weting cles I just want to uh clarify somebody I didn’t want Josh to

Start as a power forward I would like o to see OG in the power forward maybe you can slide Josh in the independent or gries either or I was just saying to to to to maybe put put somebody as another bll Handler or somebody that could get

To the rim you can slide him in there and let him you know uh in small sample sizes do kind of what the area that Julius runs because I don’t see OG doing that my uh my puppy’s been wanting me to tell y’all that we got 165 people in the

Chat let’s give a shout out to the chat and fr man in the chat the mods much love y’all yeah salute to everybody in chat could have been anywhere but you chose the rock with us exactly and we appreciate y’all joining the kot show talk Nicks basketball um but yeah I

Don’t know what You’ guys think in the chat would you trade for for uh Daniel Gafford I I’ve seen a lot more knows I would hell no as long as you don’t give up Grimes as long as you don’t give up Grimes but yeah he this whole article was written

Because the Wizards like grind so hopefully that’s not what the case is where you giving up grind Gafford I need to see Mo I need Mo I hear I I agree with a user- L7 M2 y l9w I would rather have Kelly as well because I why not try

Something new I know he’s not a tibs guy obviously he’s not a tibs guy but he’s a hell of a playmaker five assists a game at the center position and he shoots threes at a 40% clip well we got precious we got precious though what we

Need Kelly for Danny a is the devil because of Defense I mean paing precious and kellyo ly that’s awesome Off the Bench Danny need Kelly we got precious that’s your guy what you trying to get give his minutes away for wow we have we fli places wait are we in Bizarro land is

Ebony precious Hive now I’m just trying not to get GRS traded if he going to Utah he he out of here oh yeah if they trade with Utah GRS is out of here if we trade to Utah Utah’s going to take Grimes three three first yes then Utah

Is crazy with their trade demands I don’t trust D Utah they damn Nicks tax yeah Nick’s tax is high with it
