Evaluating if Dejounte Murray would work with current Knicks’ roster | The Putback | SNY

Deonte Murray too is a name that’s been mentioned with with the Knicks Ian I know you’ve had some reporting on this a lot of conversation in the comments about deante I know he’s not someone we really had on the front burner here uh but is there is there anything going

There ahead of the deadline with dejonte look there are people with the Knicks that see him as a a great pairing with Jaylen Brunson there there are people who see him as a very good fit but at this point with the Knicks starting lineup playing really well and

The Knicks where they are I I just would be surprised surprised if they made a move of this nature breaking up a rotation breaking up a lineup and having to kind of implement Deon Murray excuse me into what they have going on uh look they’ve checked in with Atlanta on it as

Have many other teams Atlanta uh its price point has been high maybe they come down because they want to get something done by tomorrow afternoon but I I I can’t see this Nick team doing that move at this point because of what they’ve established to date um Steve have you heard anything there

Well the one the one thing I I I keep saying and I’ve heard from somebody the league is this bridge between uh clutch and CAA or the Knicks um is sort of one of those like yeah there’s a bridge but it’s one of those like rickety rope

Bridges over a 100 foot Gorge and you know proceed at your own risk um so so I I don’t know that that you know this sit down makes it you know that that a deal is going to happen right away I think those things take time

But I but I’ve heard the same thing as you that Atlanta is is asking a lot trying to hold to a price point that no one wants to meet so if they do look lower the price you know and it’s a you know one of these first rounders the

Knicks don’t want anyway uh that you know something that may not convey uh I could see them jumping in and and and maybe he becomes a sixth man for them um the one thing I I don’t I guess we kind of didn’t talk about this but when we

Talk about that that need for that playmaker behind um Jaylen there are guys that that tibs trust with the ball in their hands uh we saw Dante last night we saw we’ve seen Grimes do it at times and we’ve seen uh Josh Hart is essentially you know a point guard uh

With that second unit sometimes uh he grabs a rebound he brings it up he orchestrates the offense so I I I don’t know that that we’re that desperate that they’re going to go all in and and give a huge package of picks that they want

To hold on to for a star for Jon Murray I’m not sure that he’s the guy want to do that for yeah I’m I’m a big fan of Deontay Murray’s game but not as much as I am a fan of the backourt of Dante diven chenzo and Jaylen Brunson I I’ve

I’ve said some jokingly you know uh Twitter memes with the with the ey glasses and then changing it to the Splash Brothers of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson but they’ve looked Splash Brothers esque since uh ad Dante has joined that starting lineup uh and even last night when the game was getting out

Of hand and there was a very very real chance of a scary collapse against the Memphis Grizzlies without Jaylen Bron on the court the New York Knicks Turn to Dante D chenzo and he delivered and man he gave one of the best quotes uh I’ve ever heard a Knicks player Gib in the

Past several uh years when someone asked him if um his his usage rate if he was getting the sort of usage in the past career would be able to pill up these sort of numbers and you know I’m just paraphrasing here but he said he doesn’t care he only cares about winning games

He only cares about uh getting dubs and in almost every level Jaylen Brunson and Dante Devan chenzo has been a winning pair I’m willing to see what they’re doing in the New York Knicks I’m willing to see how they do on the NBA level together so uh if you’re gonna go make

That big trade for that other player I don’t necessarily think you need it at shooting guard you got Dante de venzo at an incredible deal just like you got Jaylen Brunson at an incredible deal and they play incredibly well together I wouldn’t break that up for anything the

Villanova connection is strong the power of friendship is strong and even more importantly than that they’re probably the best shooting backourt in the Eastern Conference right now Jaylen Brunson and Dante demenzo from three-point land have been lights out together and that’s without Julius Randle ogan anobi and uh the rest of the

Guys that they’ve lost over this injury played the last couple of weeks so I like deonce but not that much yeah it’s a great point about Dante dienzo I think early on just cursory talks Atlanta you know Dante dienzo they hope would be on the table in a deal so that that aligns

With what you’re saying C
