This Dejounte Murray Trade Is RIDICULOUS… | Knicks News
If the Knicks really want de Jon Murray they might have to get another team involved and according to Bleacher Reports NBA Insider he actually proposes an insane ridiculous trade that gets the New York Knicks the jeon maray but when you step back and you look at it and all
The dust settles and you look at what the New York Knicks actually gave up in this ridiculous trade it actually works and it makes sense and I would do it let’s break down with this ridiculous trade is and why the New York Knicks would be better if they made it all of

Lands the New York Knicks the jeante Murray before I give my opinion why I would do it and why it makes sense for the New York Knicks I’m not going to waste any time let’s jump into the trade proposed by Bleacher Report according to Bleacher Report here is the massive
Three- team trade that lands the New York Knicks Deon Murray it’s a long one so stay with me Atlanta receives Evan forier Davis bton a 2024 first round pick via the New York Knicks now because it doesn’t say anything about protections there we’re going to assume that’s unprotected a 2025 first round
Pick from the New York Knicks via Milwaukee that’s top five protected and a 2025 first round pick from the Oklahoma City Thunder via Philadelphia OKC receives Clint capella and Quinton Grimes the New York Knicks received de jante Murray and kenri Williams now that’s a massive trade there’s a lot of
Moving parts so you’re probably wondering who lost what in that particular trade well we helped break that down as well too if you take a look here the New York Knicks actually lost in that three- team trade Evan forier Quinton Grimes a 2024 first round pick and a 2025 first round pick via
Milwaukee the Hawks lost deant Murray and Clint capella OKC lost Kendrick Williams Davis bton and a 2025 first round pick via Philadelphia when you look at it like that and you see what the New York Knicks lost actually in this three- team deal it doesn’t look
That bad because if you think about the first round pick that they gave up yes I understand it’s unprotected guess what the New York Knicks look like one of the best teams in the league that pick is going to be a very late round pick I’m
Not worried about that oh yeah and by the way the Knicks have multiple first round picks this year they own all their picks moving forward and in that deal they gave up the Milwaukee pick which is top five protected that year and honestly I knew that was going to be one
Of the main picks involved in any type of deal to get de Jon Murray the reason I say that is because when the Hawks tried to trade for deante Murray they gave up their 2025 pick to the Spurs so they desperately want to pick that year and if the Knicks facilitate this trade
And help the Hawks and the Thunder and get this deal done then they’re absolutely going to have to give up that pick I believe that 100% because that’s the only way they’re going to get it and the New York Knicks if they’re involved in this trade I always thought and
Figured that that pick would be one of the centerpieces of this trade happening whether it be between the Hawks and the Knicks or the Hawks and the Knicks and another team in this particular trade scenario posed here by Bleacher Report they put OKC here I’m not sure why but
Probably because they might need another piece another scorer another defensive piece given what they’re doing in the west right now they are one of the best teams so maybe they don’t even need to make a trade but if they want to help sh up their bench a little bit help get a
Little bit better maybe help support that young cast quitting Grimes definitely does that so it doesn’t hurt you there and giving up a pick that’s not yours from Philadelphia certainly doesn’t hurt you so it Mak sense for each and every party involved to do this deal OKC gets a little better and
They’re running the West the Hawks get a little better get a little younger and also get some picks and the New York Knicks get the player that they’ve wanted in De jante Murray for me I want Murray I like Kendrick Williams don’t get me wrong I wouldn’t mind adding him
But for me AJ Griffin’s right there he fits the OB top and trade exception I would rather go after him and get him if the Hawks would allow it I would rather that tradeit to happen but if that doesn’t happen I don’t mind Kendrick Williams a lot of people want to wonder
Who he is if he’s good he’s actually a 6 foot6 forward he can defend very well he’s actually a very good Tom thibo player in my opinion he’s not OG anobi I wouldn’t call him that he’s not even on the same tier but defensively and wingspan wise he can definitely play the
Passing Lanes very well he’s a Tom thoto player I don’t know if he would get any burn off the bench but if it was next man up mentality he would get some time I would assume especially under Tom thibo somebody who I think would covet him his defense and his wingspan here’s
A little bit more information on Kendrick Williams and the type of player that he is according to Bleacher Report Williams is a 6 foot6 multi-positional forward who brings some similar ingredients as ad anobi though in lower volume and whose game is very much like a Tom thibo Style players game getting
Him and Murray without sacrificing any of the current group’s most important players would put the Knicks in real contention to represent the east in the finals that’s some High Praise there from Bleacher Report and again yet another reason that supports why I would do this trade it’s not only for Williams
I gotta be honest it’s really for Deonte Murray and all I’m giving up is Evan forier I don’t want him quitting Grimes I like him but if I’m getting to jeon Murray I definitely don’t mind and I hope I could finagle the deal a little
Bit and get AJ Griffin here as well too but going past that I’m all for it sign me up because once I saw this three- team deal I knew people were going to ask what particular assets the Knicks were going to lose out on in this deal
Because that’s what always comes up in any type of deal any type of trade what assets did we lose what assets did we give up that’s why this particular Point here is so important if this is all you’re giving up in a three- team deal to get the player that you know helps
This Knicks team makes them better fits this team perfectly then you do that deal you absolutely do that deal but you know what I’ve been talking about thean Mari for a while I always mention how good he is you always hear me Praise Him
Hear me tell you why I think he’s a good fit for this Knicks team why he’d be great for this Knicks team but today I’m gonna let Bleacher Report explain why dejonte Murray is so good for this Knicks team why he’s great for this this Knicks team and why he fits this Knicks
Team let’s go ahead and take a look at exactly why Bleacher Report likes Murray on the Knicks according to them according to them and as a pure talent play plugin Murray 21 points seven assists over the last three seasons in for forier who hasn’t been in the
Rotation for years and Grimes 8.6 points for his career is almost a no-brainer if Murray is suddenly on a contender with the an intense defensive first coach like Tom diido it wouldn’t be surprising to see some of Murray’s defensive activity and intensity return he’s only 27 years old it’s not like his
Physical abilities have vanished let me repeat that last line again in case you didn’t hear it he’s only 27 years old it’s not like his physical abilities have vanished let’s continue and this is the point that Bleacher Report helps to make here that is solidifying why Murray fits
This Knicks team today and why he could help immediately the Knicks already have a lot of shot creation from Brunson and Randall but Murray would add another layer and Brunson has plenty of experience sharing the ball from his years with Luca donic lineups with those three and some combination of an anobi
Isaiah hartenstein Mitchell Robinson a super uming he can get back before the playoffs Hart and Divan chenzo would be deep and dynamic Murray could help on the defensive end too it’s suddenly invogue to talk about how he’s not the player he was with the San Antonio Spurs
On that end that’s probably true but individual defense is sometimes motivated by team’s competitiveness and Atlanta hasn’t been much of that over the last couple of years thank you Bleacher Report sometimes we disagree well often times we disagree but here right now today we are in agreement here de jeante Murray
Fits this Knicks team helps this Knicks team makes them better for all the reasons I’ve been saying for weeks for all the reasons Bleacher Report specifically told you and for everything our eyes tell us when we watch dejon Murray play basketball and we watch this Knicks team and we understand understand
What they need you don’t think the Knicks could use another shot Creator you don’t think the Knicks could use another playmaker you don’t think the Knicks could use another player that’s tall that can play the passing Lanes that’s defensive minded whose value can only rise under a defensive-minded coach
Like Tom thibo why would you not try to get this player why would you not go out and try to add this player to the roster we can talk till we’re blue in the face about chemistry the chemistry that we love will be ruined eventually when the
New York Knicks make that Allstar trade or that Superstar trade that they’ve been rumored to make for the last few years it all makes sense it all checks the boxes the Knicks need to make this trade if it’s available and on the table the Knicks are only losing Evan forier
Quitting Grimes two first round picks one pick is unprotected for this year which doesn’t matter because we have already a first round pick from Dallas for this year and the pick for the Knicks this year even though it’s unprotected it’s not going to be a good
Pick the Knicks are too good this season we’re losing the Milwaukee pick it’s not our pick this is a no-brainer if this is on the table the Knicks and Leon Rose need to pull the trigger get this trade done and get the jeon Murray Kenrick Williams on this team and all you’re
Losing at the end of the day is this I’m doing it each and every day sign me up if this is available or could be available or could be made available could happen in any way the Knicks need to make it happen pursue it and get this
Deal done getting deante maybe you can finagle it and get AJ Griffin instead of Kendrick Williams but if you get Kendrick Williams I’m not going to be mad at that however you know I like who I like and AJ and dejonte has been the move for me has been the move I’ve been
Pitching for the last few weeks so that’s the move I want to see the Knicks get done but I’m not going to be mad at the jeante and Kendrick Williams either if the Knicks can pull that off and only have to give up these assets that we
Talked about it’s a steal for the Knicks the Knicks will be able to recoup that value in the future especially if they get the value of these players they trade for higher under Tom thibo and I think there’s are going to be a case that that’s going to happen because it’s
Going to be playing time to go around with the injuries number one and number two when you make a trade like this for deante you don’t make a trade like that and play him 20 minutes he’s probably going to be a minutes leader on the New York Knicks he’s going to play Heavy
Minutes he’s going to like it too because he’s going to be on a contender with the New York Knicks that’s what the New York Knicks are going to be as soon as they make this move you may not like that you may hate it you may not want to
See Quinton Grimes go I can understand that to some level to some degree but let’s be real here the jeon Murray on this team and that’s all we’re giving up we’re contenders and I’m not stepping away from Contender status because that’s one step away from greatness and
And I want my team I want this Nicks team to be great today now this season and for many years to come de jeante Murray supports that but what about you guys what do you think about this ridiculous three- team trade that lands the New York Knicks de Jon Murray and if
This is the trade on the table would you do it 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 episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and

The trade deadline is this Thursday, February 8th and one team that will likely make a trade before the deadline are the New York Knicks. The Knicks have been one of the best teams in basketball in 2024 and a key addition at the deadline could set them up for even more post season success this year. The best player available this trade season is undoubtly Dejounte Murray. Fans are split on the fit for Murray and Brunson sharing a backcourt for the Knicks. But today, Bleacher Report helps break down a INSANE three team trade that helps the Knicks land Murray. A trade that I would absolutely pursue… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

I can see you birthing an elephant if they don't get Murray…lol …everytime you say his name its with great pride and glee..lol all fuckery aside it makes sense to get him.. plus this next dude I am crazy about I would flip him and a second rounder for PJ washington or Portis
Honestly smooth on all fronts. Capela is a big pickup for OKC & grimes is obviously a nice add in. Atl gets three picks back and we get Murray
So exhausted about this mock trade.
I think knicks need a forward a big body
Yo I would definitely do this trade most definitely yes
Is OG playing tonight?
I do that yes. If we could hustle them out of Tre Mann too. Kid is in the G league. Kenrich gives OG some breathers and Tre can play.
i will make this happen we have a 20th and 18th pk so far so keep the 18th
Dejonte Murray didn’t work with Trae Young a scoring point guard so it won’t work with Brunson !!!
Stop practically begging for this trade … !!!
I’m unsubscribing to you … you lost one ☝🏽 with this Dejonte Murray BS … Get off his Di@k !!!
You cant have another ball dominant player in this roster Lets be realistic will Atlanta do that no .I think what we can get from them is Bogdanovic .What we need is a catch shoot player .
Knicks need to trade for Murray asap
Would Dejounte be okay coming off the bench like IQ?
I am completely in lockstep with you brother. The Murray fit is picture perfect I don’t understand what people are talking about
Why would OKC make that trade? Makes no sense for them.
Yo I just read on the Knicks blog according to Thomas Dee the Knicks are in very active talks with the hawks to aquire DJ Murray
The Knicks are really trying to get Murray OMG music to my ears they know we could definitely used him to take a load off of Brunson
And also the top teams of the East is trying also to get better like Boston Bucks Sixers Beat Cavs so we Def need to get better also and get someone here and DJ Murray is who we need
Dumb Idea,The New York Knicks Got Good Players,No Trades
Murray also helps if Randle is done for the season. Beyond that, he’s a huge trade chip for next year for them to flip if they need. It’s an all-around win for the Knicks 🔥🔥🔥
Yes 100% he would keep jb from getting doubled. And rested
Let's do it!
Chris Rock ( 1993 Bring the Pain) If ya 'll are losing, whose winning???? Cause it sure ain't us 😅🤣
THE TRADE WORKS FOR ME.
So the Knicks are refusing to give the Hawks two first round picks on in a one to one trade but would turn around and do it in a 3-team trade?
Trade Evan and grimes for klay Thompson 🤷🏼♂️ and picks
I’d rather have Bridges !!!
Comment below. Good reporting.
I am looking for the Knicks to make that trade.
Make it happen.
