Knicks Draft Plans Have OFFICIALLY CHANGED… | New York Knicks News
Multiple reports and NBA insiders already acknowledge the fact that the New York Knicks are likely going to make a star or Superstar trade this off season if that star that they like becomes available but a question mark that we have moving forward for the Knicks is what are they going to do on
Draft night better than that how many picks are they going to have on draft night well now we’re in the part of the Season where it’s virtually official how many picks the New York Knicks are going to have and what they’re basically going to do come draft night we’re going to
Break down this latest report and we’re also going to look at a key stat that the New York Knicks are leading the NBA in and honestly guys it’s not a stat that you want to be leading the league in we’re going to be breaking down this

Changed for this year and here’s the main reason why coming into this season the Knicks realistically had two draft picks that were likely going to convey their own and Dallas but did you know that they were walking into the season with the potential of four draft picks conveying let’s break down those picks
And see why it’s virtually official now that they’re only going to have two picks according to the New York Post Steph Bondi he States the following it’s virtually a certainty now that two of the Knicks possible first round picks won’t convey this year they have four of
Them going into this season two of them come from the Pistons and the Wizards one of them is top 18 protected from the Pistons and the other is top 12 protected from the Wizards those are the two worst teams in the league the two worst teams in the league what does that
Mean likelihood of of those picks conveying 0% we’re not going to get them we’re going to have to wait till next year to see what happens so that means the New York Nicks do not have to worry about adding two more potential rookies to their roster but that also then begs
The question how many draft picks do they have currently for this year and how many players are they going to draft Bondi continues by stating both picks the Detroit pick and the Washington Wizards pick will also be protected next year they eventually become second round picks if they don’t convey in a few
Years that’s why it’s very important if you’re the Knicks front office that you either use those picks as a trade asset now to get a player that you want or you hope and pray they convey at some point in time by these teams eventually getting good coming into the season that
Washington pick was the only pick that had question mark on it you were wondering that maybe potentially they could be a dark horse and maybe the pick could convey you had a shot maybe a hope but the Detroit pick I think we knew very early on given the team they had
The age of the team the new coach they were not going to do anything this year and then you look at Detroit now one of the worst records in the league and it’s not by accident they have played extremely poor basketball this year and I think they’re going to continue to
Play extremely poor basketball for years to come that Detroit pick is the only pick I’m worried about in terms of never conveying but you never know maybe they have a good season and that year it does convey but the Knicks just have to sell that to another team if they’re looking
To get off of that pick to get that player that they want and this is all the Knicks have to do understand their assets what they have this year in terms of draft picks players that they’re going to have to add to this roster but also players that they’re going to have
To add to this roster via trade and the way you do that is via picks that you have and own your own picks and also picks that you have from other teams and also players that you can add to Matt salary the Knicks have all of that
Moving forward and going back to the draft picks again Bondi again mentions here that the Knicks will likely get the Mavericks pick top 10 protected along with their own first rounder that means headed into this year this draft night the Knicks will likely get the Mavericks pick top 10 protected along with their
Own first rounder that means walking into draft night the Knicks are likely going to have two first round picks and if that’s the case you have to ask yourself what are the New York Knicks going to do are they going to draft the player are they going to draft two
Players are they going to trade back are they going to package those picks and try to trade forward to get a better player that they can get in this year’s draft it’s going to be very interesting to see what Leon Rose does but let’s be straight here the Knicks have made
Crucial trades this season they’ve traded for boan who’s likely gonna stay they added pre atua who’s been the steel of this trade season he’s likely gonna stay and then you factor in the OG an anobi effect they now have him they’re gonna pay him so the Knicks have a lot
Of roster spots and a lot of playing time to go around the players already on the roster if they don’t make a significant move this off season to get that Superstar player on this roster and they go into next season with this team then how many rookies are actually going
To get playing time under Tom thibo with this team and that’s the question you’re going to have to ask yourself if you’re the Nicks front office I’m not saying don’t draft players I don’t think that’s the right way to go about it I still think no matter matter what no matter
How much playing time you can promise a player drafting young Talent is the way to go because you never know what these young players are going to turn into and maybe another team sees that Talent a different way than you do and if you sell it that way you might be able to
Trade that young asset a couple of other players and of course other draft picks in order to get that player that you’ve always wanted on the roster but drafting players helps that it doesn’t hurt it even if you can’t find consist consistent minutes for that player if
That player is young enough and you can play him some minutes here or there each and every game you’ll still keep their value up enough where other teams might want to trade for them especially early on in their career now of course if you continue to do that year after year
After year Allah Obby toppen no matter where that player is no matter where they get drafted and no matter how good they look in flashes if you treat a player like that then that player is going to be seen that way by other teams and you’re going to have a harder time
Trying to sell that player so if you’re the Nicks front office you got to ask yourself if you draft a couple of rookies how much time are they going to get on this team how much time are they actually going to play so in my opinion
Especially if you use the pass as a factor here under Leon rose with this Knicks team I think it’s extremely clear the New York Knicks are likely either going to trade back to get more assets for these pick so they can continue this process of continuing to have a lot of
Assets that they can trade for that star or Superstar player once they become available or if they don’t do that they’ll likely package those picks and move up to get a player that they value they covet and they can add to this team for the long haul a young asset a young
Player maybe a wing maybe a power forward or maybe a center with some more offensive game than Mitchell Robinson has or that Isaiah hartenstein has who can help stretch the floor better maybe if you get a center like that and develop him maybe this Knicks team in a
Few years is even more Unstoppable because of that type of player that you drafted it’s going to be very interesting to see what the New York Knicks do I’m going to be locked in and watching closely but it’s pretty clear the New York Knicks are walking into
Draft night with Dallas’s pick and their own pick are they walking out with two draft picks no draft picks or one that’s going to be the main question it’s going to be very interesting to see but Leon Rose has not disappointed me at all this season and honestly if you’ve been
Watching what he’s been doing with this Knicks team even though for a couple of seasons I didn’t like it after all of this time looking at what this Knicks team has finally been doing I can say under Leon Rose he has rided the ship and he’s guiding this Knicks team the
Right way so I’m going to be patient rock with him and wait and see what he does the Knicks are one of the slowest paced teams in the entire league that’s right folks this New York Knicks team leads the league in a stat you honestly
Do not want to lead the NBA in and that’s Pace according to New York basketball and of course nba.com they State the following the Knicks have the slowest Pace in the NBA they’ve played four of the NBA’s slowest seven games this season Saturday’s game against Boston was the slowest NBA game in seven
Years seven years yikes if you look at the Knicks roster though and you look at who we’ve had on this Rost roster over the last few games it’s really easy to understand why we’re slow in Pace you have ban playing 30 minutes sometimes Isaiah hardenstein coming off of an injury so
He can’t play that many minutes a couple of our players are out and if they were in like an OG an anobi or a Julius Randall they would help Quicken up that pace they would push the ball down the floor and they would help the Knicks get easier transition baskets right now
We’re not getting that because we just don’t have the Personnel to get it so am I surprised given all the injuries that we had as of late the losing that we’ve been doing as of late that we are one of the slowest paced teams in the league
I’m not surprised but I can also say that the Knicks are not going to stay this way we are not going to remain one of the slowest teams in the NBA once we get our players back once we get OG back hopefully a healthy Julius Randle back a
Mitchell Robinson back all of these guys playing their regular minutes playing healthy and doing exactly what we need them to do for this Knicks team playing their role we’re going to be back to play playing fast-paced basketball again we’re going to be up there in Pace again
And let me remind you guys when we had that win streak and we were dominating teams we were one of the league leaders in Pace there was a reason for that because we had the Personnel on the floor to do it once we get healthy again
That’s going to happen again so I’m not worried about this pace thing right now but if it continues to be an issue once we get healthy yeah then I’ll be concerned as of right now I’m just waiting for this Knicks team to get healthy and sooner rather than later and
I’m looking at you march this Knicks team is going to be fully healthy and whole once again and once that happens NBA league watch out because you’re going to be creating different tweets and different stats about this Knicks team you’re going to be creating stats about how this niick team is dominating
The NBA but what about you guys what do you think about the New York Knicks basically having two draft picks walking into draft night this season and what about this pace issue with the New York Knicks are you concerned about that stat at this point in time 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 I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans

We are finally at the point in the season where we can viturally gurantee how many picks the New York Knicks will walk into draft night with. Mutitple reports already indicate what the Knicks will do during this offseason, but there is a large questionmark on their future draft prospects. Understanding the number of picks + assets the Knicks have can help us understand what they’ll likely do come draft night. We also take a look at a stat the Knicks lead the league in… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

You're looking at this all wrong. The Knicks' management already have a good idea of the direction they're taking. The only thing they don't know is who or what disgruntled super star would come. Barring that they have 29 milli, coming off the Books.
They know what to do.
The biggest sleeper in the draft is Zack Edey. That center has great potential and can definitely help the Knicks.
Detroit is on the comeup. I think those trades they made at the deadline gave their team some heart.Ref.. Fonteccio and Grimes hive. Stand up. #waitforit
I AGREE WITH YOU WHOLEHEARTEDLY. SOMETHING IS JUST NOT RITE WITH THE WHOLE THING. JESUS FIX IT 🙏🙏🙏
Leading the league in hmm injury minutes? lay ups allowed?
This is why i was saying we should trade for Dejounte Murray
They wanted 2 picks for him
The Mavs and Bucks picks will be late and the Wizards and Pistons picks wont convey, if they do it wont be for years
Murray is on a great contract
I know Atlanta wanted Grimes but we still had DiVincenzo, Achiuwa, Sims and McBride to offer
If there isnt a star available, which i don't think there will be, we should try to get Murray
🔥🔥i am not concern with the pace.. As our key players are not there.. Also, if we don't use those draft picks to either move up and get a key young player.. Or draft dept where its needed.. I say use them to get a Superstar that we need & want out of their current situation 🌞🔥🔥
that’s why i said trade them thibs don’t play rookies so if we got Murray and griffin or Bey it would of worked out better
Dejonte Murray,Demar DeRozan or Mikael brides any of these 3 would make me happy ☺️
After reading all the comments 😢😢😢 the idea of Donovan sounds a little bleak since Thibs. Only plays the veterans and Cleveland has to do something with him or lose him ?
Ulrich Chomche. He’s going to start moving up the boards once he starts working out for NBA teams. 6’11” 238lb, PF/C that’s only 18 years old, extremely athletic, defensively strong and can finish, has shown some ball skills, shooting and passing upside. They may be able to keep him overseas to season.
As far as pace, that’s why I said their biggest need is a shot creator, even if it’s someone off the bench. Someone that can play at a fast pace, create shots attacking the basket and ability to pass when defenses collapse
Im sad the knicks keep loosing we need Randal n Og a healty hartinstein mitch Brunson
idc who we draft. get us bronny james just so we can get lebron and win some chips
The NY Knicks 🧡 need to draft a Power Forward, Shooting Forward, and a really good Point Guard to give Jalen Brunson some rest. The NY Knicks 🧡 already have good Centers in their team.
Slowest pace does not suprise me about the Knicks. This goes back all the way to the 1990s era with Patrick Ewing, Charles Oakley, "Mase in Your Face" and the rest. Tom T. loves that kind of team. It's nostalgic.
If da pace iz slow datz fine; w/our offensive rebz, datz akin 2 runnin tha ball n football (it takez time off tha clock & extendz our time of possession). It helpz when we have tha lead.
Baba miller Bronny Ivisic all names to draft
We need to develop players, in order to have players ready in the pipeline… Randle is turning 30,next year. Mitch is always injured. Our bench is weak since we’ve traded Quickly and Grimes.. Trades aren’t always a solution… Continuity is important as well… Outside of Booker and to a very lesser extent, maybe Bridges are the only two players who seem like hood fits for this team and from all indications those players aren’t going anywhere…. So it would make sense for the Knicks to draft a, preferably big point guard and a center to develop
Get rid of the Neanderthal!!
You know that won't happen with this horrible coach!!!
as far as pace is concerned, nobody was really thinking about that until you brought it up.
we've traded our young players so the knicks should at least use one or both of their 1st rd picks this year. forget about conditional picks. if we can't use them what makes you think they would be of much value to a team in a big trade for a star.
Tibbs runs his players too many mins. For them to be a speed team each and every game so yeah when u say in seven years they are the slowest team in certain games even wh n there here major plays return it wouldn't matter I takes 5 to start 5 to end that's 10 players he doesn't do it he dont know how to be a decent minded coach u don't wanna coach and have young players and u still dont wanna throw the flag on replays even his players know that they will be mentally and physically tired bc he dont have what it takes in the his time and era ,,,he has the team not the skills he has a GENERAL MANAGER ROSE THAT MAKES BEAUTIFUL MOVES THEN HE MESSES THAT UP THEY ALL GONNA BE HURT B4 ITS ALL SAID AND DONE 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The only thing you know about the pistons is that its ok to tackle there players at the end of games
A good analysis. Since Tibs don’t play rookies, drafting two new players does not appear to be a viable option. Packaging the picks to move up appear to be the best option.
We are slow in pace because that's how Thibs wants it.
Man we only have 2 picks Washington and Detroit picks won't convey
Do you think a team of IQ, Quentin, Portis, Reddish and Porzingis could beat our team now???
You have no idea, so you’re like everyone else! Wait! Waste of time!
