Tom Thibodeau on Knicks acquiring Alec Burks and Bojan Bogdanovic, update on OG Anunoby | SNY
Yeah, you know we were excited to have those guys, you know appreciated, you know, Evan Quentin Malachi what they did for us, but were you know, we’re looking forward in Arch, of course and we’re looking forward to the Alec and bojan coming coming in. So
Alec were familiar with because she’s been here we know what a great fit e is for us. Jean we we’ve gone against him for quite a bit. If I think gives us added depth. The shooting piece is really important for us. We think they complement our players extremely well, so
We’re looking forward to them joining our team, you know, we’re always looking at ways that we feel we can improve our team. So whenever we have opportunities we want to take advantage whether that’s you know, the internal part obviously that’s something we work at. We Day in
And then when the trade opportunities come if there’s something that makes sense Leon and his staff I thought they did a great job of looking at all the opportunities yet. I thought oh gee was a great fit the thing that’s hard are the guys that go out because of
The commitment that they make but in order to get good players you have to give up good players so and then our approach can’t change we have to put the work in each and every day The challenge will be when the new guys come in getting them
Acclimated as quickly as possible because games keep coming. Yeah, I think the you know, the statement really said it all we try to approach it with rest first and then you know, you trust the medical you trust him and this was the best course of action. So
And you know where we’re optimistic that it’s with it rolls into the All-Star break. So it seemed to make the most sense to all of us. And so, you know that’s part of it you deal with it next guy get in there get the job done.

According to WOJ: OG underwent surgery to remove a loose fragment; out at least 3 weeks. What Leon Rose has pulled off by getting Burks and Bogie? Unbelievable š¹
Let's go knicks keep building the knicks the right way get players that fits our team. GO KNICKS
Two veterans for now due to injuries. The future wasn't gambled.
Very Exciting moves. No big stars but Bojan can run the floor with Donte and Hart and hit threes and outside shots. Burks can score and make shots without being set up. Both of them can improve both units. Both can greatly improve the team.
Feel bad for Grimes ending up in Detroit, but mad excited for this runā¦
The Knicks kept their 1st round picks…..and these guys can be kicked to the curb with little to no cost if they do not pan out……Good trade overall….Go Knicks!
Knicks are winning a chip soon. Look at how theyāre talking. They have an identity and they know who they are. Organization is completely back to legitimacy.
This guy Leon š¹ deserves a raiseā¦ LGK !!!
TOM THIBODEU PISSED AWAY RJ BARRET, IMMANUEL QUICKLY, AND THE FIRST DRAFT PICK OF THE SECOND ROUND FOR AN INJURY RIDDEN ROLE PLAYER IN NEED OF SURGERY.
This front office is patient and aggressive at the same time. As a Knicks fan for 40+ years I am beyond excited. The question now is, who will be the superstar they're positioning for?
š
When everyone is healthy, NY will be a beast!
Enter 40+ min Bogdanovic š š
A couple years All those commentators wanted Leon Rose out š
You know the Knicks are ballin when a subtle trade like this has the whole fan base pumped, donāt get me wrong I am rediculously happy, bogdanovic looks like he can barely miss, the perfect piece, he can hold down the fort until og and Julius get back and burks already played for the Knicks and Knick fans remember he was one of the few that showed up in the round 1 loss to the hawks, glad to see him back, heāll be hitting big playoff shots again.
ITS ABOUT TIME U GET RID OF EVAN
Grimes Is gone
That's what happened when you want Playing time
Whos ready for a deep run?
I know AB is happier than Gilligan getting rescued from that deserted island. š
In Leon š¹ Rose We trust!
The Knicks brass continues to do a marvelous job! Let's Go Knicks!
I've said before defense will be this teams calling card and now they've added 2 more shooters off the bench that will be a big help going forward. I know Alec Burks from being here before but I'm very interested in Bogdonivic because I saw him hit a couple buzzer beaters to win a game for Detroit so that tells me a he can make a big shot down the stretch in a close playoff game whereas Julius Randle falters in that situation. You need people to hit clutch shots in the playoffs and I think in Bogdonivic we have one.
Love Tibs. One thing though: the make-up person needs to powder his shiny forehead a bit.
This is a good move. Best kNicks team since 96-97. Gonna be fun to watch.
the question is did they weaken themselves defensively? or are they back to the fournier formula which fails every time. fans love trades but fans are many times stupid. we will find out playoff time when you have to get stops vs great offensive players.
Itās very rare to see that coach and FO working together towards common goal and that is to win championships. Thibs coaching great and Leon and FO find him the pieces to complement what NYKs trying to accomplished. As we all can see this is a great working relationship coming together not going against each other and destroying the goal. Kudos to these 2 components. Now we need the pieces to fit and play together to win it all.
Knicks are looking tough.
God is good
going to miss Quentin Grimes for us and i wish that things could've been different for him but what Leon Rose managed to pulled off by getting Alec Burks back and Bojan? damn we FLEECED the pistons
When this team get's healthy,we will be very dangerous come play off time.
