Shake Milton SPEAKS OUT On Why He Joined The Knicks… | New York Knicks News

Shake Milton recently cleared waivers on Tuesday and officially joined the New York Knicks and recently he spoke out on why he chose the Knicks over other contending teams and he mentioned one particular person in the Knicks front office William worldwide Wesley as a main person that influenced him joining

The New York Knicks we’re going to break down exactly what he said and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and

Now let’s get started Shake Milton recently spoke out on why he joined the New York Knicks over other contenders that wanted to add him and if you look at the Knicks roster Jaylen Brunson Dante de venzo miles McBride Alec Burks you could make the argument why did he choose the Knicks

Because playing time is going to be hard to come by even if you want to say right right now they’re injured sooner or later they’re going to get healthy and once they’re healthy it’s going to be a fight to try to get minutes with all of those guards playing however I think

Shake chose the Knicks for other reasons not only just playing time and being part of a contender but also part of a relationship that he shares with the front office for the New York Knicks specifically worldwide West according to NBA Insider Ian Bagley with SNY he states that shake Milton has known

Nick’s execu VP William Wesley for a long time according to shake he’s there anytime I need him whether it’s to talk do whatever he’s always there Milton said Wesley facted into his decision to sign with the Knicks after agreeing to a buyout with the Detroit Pistons Shake also mentioned the

Following regarding the New York Knicks and why he joined them it’s crazy it was always my favorite place to play getting to be in New York is crazy honestly shout out out to newest Nick Shake Milton for being honest on why he chose the New York Knicks over other teams he

Understands the playing situation he clearly loves New York and MSG and wants to be here so that’s another Factor but obviously his relationship with Worldwide West factored into him joining the New York Knicks and that’s something to say because we never really hear about worldwide West influencing anybody

To join the Knicks we obviously hoped that we wanted to hear that for years but we really haven’t heard that except now with Shake Milton and now Shake isn’t really a bigname free agent I’m not saying that he is however he could have joined any other team he can help a

Multitude of teams but he chose to join the Knicks a team that he already knows has a guard situation that is more or less set because when the Knicks are fully healthy he’s going to have to fight miles McBride and Alec Burks for minutes off the bench whatever you feel

About Alec Burks at this point in time we all know they made a trade for for boan bakd donovic and Alec Burks they did that not because they want to play them off the bench situationally they did that so those two can play Heavy minutes but Burks right now is playing

In a way that’s such a massive disappointment that potentially Shake could outplay him for minutes and if that happens maybe it never switches back maybe it never switches back till the playoffs or maybe it doesn’t even switch back then because once you get chemistry and things start working Tom

Thibo may not want to adjust that so you never know what happens but all I got to say is playing time is definitely up for grabs right now due to injury but once the Knicks get healthy if Burks does not do what he needs to do Shake is going to

Steal his spot I absolutely believe that I think that shake Milton was added to this roster in small part to light a fire back under Alec Burks to let him know Hey listen I know you were traded here I know you’re Tom Fido’s favorite but let me tell you something if you

Don’t play in a way that’s impactful for for this Knicks team that’s going to help us win Shake Milton is here to take your spot take your minutes and if he’s just as impactful or more impactful than you are he’s going to be the one that’s

On the floor for Tom thibo not you this is sending a statement to the roster and especially the guards letting them know you need to step up and prove your worth and prove to make sure that you can stay on this roster during the stretches that matter the most especially when we head

Into the playoffs if you want that type of time you need to show up right now miles McBride he’s answering the call is Alec Burks some nights maybe often nights no shake if he does what he needs to do bye-bye Burks because that’s exactly what’s going to happen however

We definitely know where Shake stands in the rotation right now because even though the Knicks are injured and we have so many different positions that we need assistance in it’s clear Tom thibo made a statement about shake and where he stands in the rotation and this helps us understand exactly where he’s going

To factor in once the Knicks get healthy according to Ian Bley he noted that shake Milton was active against the Hawks however diido mentioned that Milton will be situational right now as opposed to having a regular spot in the New York Knicks rotation situational Tom thibo in that word situational we all

Know what it means unless he has to play him he’s not going to play him if it’s garbage time maybe he’ll see some minutes but unless that’s the case he’s likely not going to see any minutes and he’s going to continue to ride the bench and I think he understands that he

Mentioned as much when he was talking to the media about his role and joining the New York Knicks so I don’t think that’s a surprise to him however I will say this Alec Burks and his massive disappointing performance that we’ve been seeing for these last few games I

Think it’s something to look at because I don’t think Tom tho can continue justifying giving Burke so many minutes and him underperforming or we not performing at the level that Tom Tibido expects that’s why I think a path exists for shake Milton to get more minutes

Over Alec Burks it’s just going to take that situation to arise but all of the things are active and in place for that situation to exist the only person that can stop it is Alec Burks and honestly I want Burks to do well I’m not hoping for

Burk’s downfall I want to make sure something is clear I want every single player who touches that Court for the New York Knicks to have a positive impact and do what they need to do however if I’m looking at the players on the floor and I see they’re not doing

What they need to do or have a negative impact then yeah I want to switch them out with somebody else I’m looking at Alec Burks miles McBride has clearly earned more minutes than Alec Burks in the rotation that’s clear but right now we have to understand how many minutes

Has Alec Burks earned in the New York Knicks rotation right now cuz I would argue he hasn’t really earned that much and if that’s the case experiment then switch him out with Shake Milton and see how the lineup Works see how the team Works see how the chemistry looks and if

It looks better maybe you go that way and keep on experimenting until you find the rotation and the sets that work and once you do continue rolling that out while you’re injured this is the best time to do it because you’re going to see who’s going to step up when the

Pressure is on and who’s going to step aside I think it’s very clear some players have stepped up and other players have stepped aside Alec Burks I don’t know where he is right now it’s looking like he’s stepping aside but then I see him each and every game and

He’s looking like he wants to be part of the Knicks wants to play the right way so it’s up and down with him he needs to find consistency that’s the only thing that’s going to save him if he finds consistency with his game learns how to play with this Nicks team learns that

He’s not in Detroit but he’s part of a contender and plays like that nobody’s gonna have any issues with Burks he keeps trying to play herob ball and he fails to be the hero and when you fail to be the hero you’re going to be treated like that it’s unfortunate but

You’re playing for New York this is not your first time you know how it is but honestly if Burks doesn’t change his style understand who he’s playing with and understand how he’s supposed to be impactful for this Knicks team he is not going to have consistent playing time

Under Tom thibo he is going to get robbed of those minutes from somebody else maybe sh Milton and he’s going to ride the bench it’s going to be crazy to say that because Burks is a Tom thibo favorite but if that happens it’s going to Showcase that thibs is not a favorite

To players he’s a favorite to winning and if anybody else is going to give him a better chance to win he’s going to put that player out there in rotation so if Shake does that that’s what’s going to happen it’s going to be crazy if it does

Happen but I’m not ruling it off the table we already saw in a few games earlier this week that if Alec Burks doesn’t do what he needs to do Tom tho is comfortable benching him if he’s comfortable benching him that means that other players can take his spot Burks

I’ve said it in a number of videos Tick Tock step up and do what you need to do or other players are going to take your position the newly acquired Shake Milton is one of those players especially when he has such a strong relationship with one of our executive VPS in William

Westley Shake has everything going his way to make the case to get minutes on the New York Knicks all he needs is an opportunity Burks you might be that opportunity but what about you guys what do you think about these comments by Shake Milton on why he joined the New

York Knicks even though the Knicks have so many guards already 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

Recently added New York Knick via the buyout Market Shake Milton spoke to the media regarding why he chose to join the New York Knicks. He mentioned a lot of different factors including loving to play in Madison Square Garden and a contender in NY. But one thing in particular that he mentioned was a little surprising. Shake mentioned that one of the Knicks front office Executives influenced his decision to join New York over other contenders that wanted to add him. Also, head coach Tom Thibodeau also shed some light on how Shake Milton will be used moving forward. Current Guard Alec Burks, who NY traded for earlier this season, has been a massive disappointment. This creates an opportunity though, that potentially Shake can cash in on… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
