LIVE: NY Knicks Rumors, News: Free Agency Targets + Latest Trade Rumors
[Music] [Music] yo what’s going on everybody you’re watching Nick Now by chat sports I’m your host Marshall green and welcome to another edition of an offseason live show here on Nicks now appreciate everybody for stopping by as we just get you caught up and talk All Things New York Knicks the NBA draft is less than a month away at this point I haven’t done much draft coverage if any at all at this point just for the simple fact that even though the Knicks have two first round picks I’m going to be shocked if they make those picks but starting next week starting next week I’m going to do my first mock draft we’ll also do a Nicks draft targets video and we’ll start to do some Nicks rumor stuff as well through the draft but this week wanted to focus mainly on trade stuff and free agency stuff is that’s what everybody wants to hear about um I don’t want to bore you guys to death with 24th and 25th overall picks in the NBA draft of players that you’ve probably never heard of which they could be good players but at this point um I just haven’t felt a need to talk about it just yet but next week Scouts Honor even though I wasn’t a scout um we will do a mock draft and we will start doing um some NBA Draft coverage as Patrick Sean has had the luxury for about two months now to talk about the draft what think about it man uh it’s a pretty pretty underwhelming draft but there are good players like in terms of role guys and I think that’s good for the Knicks because they’re not looking at the draft to bring in a star so but but then again not a not a lot of good options and as I saw your video earlier talking about bronny James I think that would be my number one Nicks draft Target is brony James we can’t add LeBron James for the veteran minimum it will mess up the team chemistry that would be the best contract in NBA history Le a minimum I don’t like LeBron I don’t but for the amount of people in the comment section on today’s video crying about adding LeBron James for a veteran minimum contract concerns me with the overall mental heads space of this this fan base right now no feeling I mean get the feelings out of it first you didn’t want KD and I understand he’s old and you had to pay a lot but now you get LeBron for the veteran minimum and you don’t want him what do you want do you not want come on John th John th and John petett are anti- LeBron guys I just I I think you guys are being too emotional here I think you’re being too emotional um guys LeBron James is still a top 10 player in the league what do you mean he would destroy this team how does LeBron James on a veteran minimum destroy this team you know who destroyed this team injuries put LeBron James on the Knicks this season they’re going to the finals they’re going to the finals next year if you put LeBron on this team come on guys Antonio comparing John petett or John thy comparing LeBron and Antonio Brown is not not even remotely the same um Kenya thank you yes you take LeBron James for the veteran minimum all right let me ask you guys this if it guaranteed you LeBron on a vet minimum would you take Brony at 24 I would trade up for Brony I would take 24 and 25 move up to like seven probably won’t get it D but like move up to 10 or 11 and draft bronny I I just don’t get it man uh I I I really don’t understand it I would like for you guys to inform me why you feel that way except saying team chemistry because I promise you team chemistry would be off the charts with LeBron James Jaylen Brunson Josh Hart Dante Dean chenzo and Isaiah Hart and sign OG and and no you know what those guys do they play the game the right way they want to win games we’ll do whatever it takes LeBron would be a perfect teammate to those players and almost LeBron to a fault plays the game almost too much of the right way you know throughout his career I I I think it would be a perfect fit and plus he’s turned out to be a good shooter in the second half of his uh career here in the league I really I I I just I just don’t understand it and I haven’t had one person convince me otherwise with with a non-emotional answer because if you’re going to talk about chemistry how what team has he destroyed he’s kept the Lakers afloat by himself he want a championship to every team he’s gone to also like I’m sure LeBron that’s also in the back of his head where it’s like if I go win a championship for the Knicks my my goat argument skyrockets I just pioneered foul baiting and load management John thy it’s 2024 bro it’s 2024 man that’s everybody uh your point guard Jaylen Brunson he’s known as a foul V I love you guys but if we’re going to act like we’re too good of a franchise and we’re in too good of a spot to draft Brony which means we get LeBron James on the veteran minimum I think we just got to pause take a deep breath and say what are we doing the goal is to win championships and if you can add a top 10 player in the league for the veteran minimum you do it every day of the week and I like bronnie as a prospect the more I look into him I think too much too much stocks been put into his college stats how do you know he’s he’s anti- tips how do you know that has he said that he’s played on Team USA a couple of times and tibs has been an assistant coach there I I I don’t I don’t agree with that I don’t agree with that I still love y’all he does play the right LeBron plays the game of basketball almost perfectly it’s very disappointing my guy the the John Brothers the John Pettit and the John thy and okay if the one argument is defense I understand that he has not played defense over the last couple of Seasons but you know who else doesn’t play defense Julius Randall and also LeBron still no else doesn’t play defense Jaylen Brunson yeah do we not want them on our team anymore you don’t think LeBron’s ding up in the playoffs I got got another thing for you yeah we need a guy that’s been there and done that in the playoffs we’ve lost in the semifinals two times with home court advantage that’s disappointing that’s disappointing you lost to an eight seed last year you lost to a six seed this year in your home building on game seven I don’t care who was hurt get people in here that are get you past that point LeBron James on a freaking veteran minimum would do so that would be a we got to wake up and smell the gel we got to wake up I understand not wanting KD but if you’re at put yourself on a lie detector you had KD to this team they’re Championship level Squad you had LeBron James to this team you’re a championship level Squad I don’t give a I don’t give a damn about anything else except hoiston a Larry O’Brien trophy there’s a lot of [ __ ] in here older than me that have never seen one would you not enjoy it if LeBron was there you’re lying if your answer is no you’re lying if your answer is no exactly julan exactly yeah um I I I I just can’t get with that wavelength I can’t I can’t LeBron James is gonna go down as a top five basketball player ever he was a top 10 basketball player last year he averaged 278 and8 in the playoffs um that’s crazy that’s that’s crazy ah I just I just disagree I disagree I just disagree but we already did the LeBron video um I think you guys are extremely wrong so my question John pen and John th before we move on if you trade for Le if you get to sign Le exact same team next year exact same team you sign LeBron James to the veteran minimum do the Knicks go to the Conference Finals yes or no do are you saying they don’t I have the embiid mentality LeBron’s a four time champ man embiid ain’t never got out of the second round that’s not fair it’s hell yes they do Jason B they put another Banner in The Afters at the Garden that’s what they do if your starting lineup is Jaylen Brunson LeBron James ogan and Obi Julius Randall Isaiah hartenstein with dvo Hart Mitch Deuce all coming off the bench you might be the best team ever yeah you legitimately might be the best team of all time thank you Jason B thank you love to seeing you in the chat brother love seeing you in the chat that team if they wanted to could win 75 games yeah the IQ that you would have between Brunson and LeBron are we going to say LeBron’s not a high AQ player at this point are we going to say that too well cuz if you’re just saying that then you’re just barking out of emotion possibly the highest IQ player of all time just uh just just just take the emotions out of it and just go watch what LeBron did this last year he’s he’s so very good man I just I don’t know I I just I don’t get it I really don’t get it um I really don’t get it we’re going to close Today’s Show with a mailbag that’ll be in about an hour or so if you want to get your questions up on the show # Nick in the comment section with a comment with a question with a thought with an opinion or you could Super Chat all super chats get up on show and we’ll talk about it my guy Kenya says that lineup is a killer Championship level team that would be one of the most talented starting lineups in NBA history LeBron might be the third best player in that starting lineup you got size you got IQ you got defense you got Championship pedigree and also the easy shots dvo would get I mean LeBron my God jayen Brunson going back to a spot up shooter I think hey LeBron if you want to come win a ship I mean can’t believe we’re saying no for LeBron James to come play for free for the Knicks we paid TSH Gibson the veteran veteran minimum you don’t want to give that to LeBron what and you get to keep everybody and all your picks oh my goodness I don’t know I don’t know I actually think this would be a good move too if it’s like cuz you’re not going going all in on a guy and you’re not like yeah you would use one of your first this year to get bronny but it’s not like you would give up any future what are you giving up assets it’s giving like a the scenario is you draft bronnie to get LeBron so technically you’re trading pick 24 for LeBron James no y’all wouldn’t trade the 24th pick for LeBron James on a minimum contract on a minimum contract come on dog come come on come on the same people who were crying about Obie same people who were crying about cam reddish RJ we can’t be afraid to change I don’t know about that but I mean I would give up I would give up 24 25 I would give up every pick you have this year ex Jason B perfect Point Nicks have eight tradable first round picks in the ne next seven years the Knicks have 11 first round picks in the next seven years the Knicks have six first round picks in the next two years where are six rookies playing they’re not where are six rookies playing on this team where are two rookies playing I think we all as Nicks fans need to understand a consolidation trade is once again coming and it’s almost needed now I don’t know saying no to LeBron James for the 24th pick is crazy that that’s like actually insane and and if you want to laugh and I don’t mean to pick on the people because we all have different opinions and not everybody’s right sometimes it’s only me just kidding um but if you want to laugh go look at some of those comments on that video the stand up puff my chest out tough guy I don’t want LeBron um if you ask Jaylen Brunson and the guys on the team right now would you want him they would all be like yeah I would love it it’s crazy Miami didn’t let him walk bro he left Miami Miami cried when he walked you got you got that a little bit wrong has I’m still crying about it Miami wanted LeBron back every team that LeBron has played for they have wanted him yeah tibs ain’t playing no rookies khed oh yeah that’s also oh man all righty coming up on today’s show we’re going to run through five affordable free agent targets and to close the show Brian wior has linked the New York Knicks to jannis anant TMO again so we’re going to have to talk about it again and I can’t wait to see the people who say no to this Giannis trade idea let me guess we don’t want Giannis either do we not want Giannis either who do we want nobody if we don’t want Giannis and we don’t want KD and we don’t want LeBron who do we want I I I don’t agree with that on my Square I I don’t agree with that he’s not going to make him play I think I think LeBron wants bronnie to go to a spot that he can actually develop back and you know who could develop uh bronny James Tom Tibido yeah you know who would be a perfect head coach for Le bronny James Thomas Theodore Tibido yeah so we don’t want Giannis we don’t want KD we don’t want LeBron we don’t want Mel Bridges who do we want Ryan Archie diako Jimmer fet Ron Baker cleanthony early Chris Duan who do we want I want to win a [ __ ] Championship that’s what I want they could play together and practice Jason and also there will be some regular season games where he’ll just naturally and let’s be honest you throw you throw him he’s baby dece McBride that’s who bronnie James is he’s a rookie Duce McBride better at like better physical traits probably too it’s just crazy to me like I don’t know who y’all want you didn’t want Brunson I remember that you didn’t want Hart you didn’t want Dante you didn’t want OG Zack Edy yes that’s who we want Johnson U that’s who we want Johnson U’s got it Zack Edy Coach Sierra says 617 I want bridges are you are you going to trade Randall for him would you trade Randall for him because if you’re not going to trade Randle for him you don’t want him because you’re not getting him if you don’t Thomas no I wouldn’t trade Randle for him and that’s an okay opinion to have I get one big move John th if I could have any player in the NBA join this team it’s Giannis it’s Giannis who’s actually like somewhat feasible Yannis I know they’re all they’re all in their feelings that’s my guy that’s my guy and we’re going to talk about it in today’s show and I promise you you’re all going to say no to the trade offer and the Knicks would make that deal in a heart heartbeat um where’s that guy didn’t answer my question my man KB GBF YULA in the building what’s up man I I don’t know where that guy went I asked him a question he didn’t answer and then his his thing just left bill’s coming in saying Marsh has had a Bill’s in the chat what’s up Bill Bill thank you for the Super Chat first Super Chat of the day shout out to Bill he says Marsh has had enough of the foolishness I love it bill you know what you don’t you will say you don’t know round ball and I’ll take you for your word even though I know that you know round ball that would you know what would be similar to this bill if you could have saquan Barkley back for the veteran minimum I would take him back in a heartbeat every Giants fan should if you don’t you’re just being emotional I just this team is so close the opport Unity to win is now the East is open the Celtics just cak walked their way to the finals and the Knicks can beat them they can beat them khed Pasha says y’all just look at names and don’t actually look at basketball you’re right is that why we were wrong about Brunson dvo Hart and OG is that why we were all wrong about that is that why why the day before RJ Barrett got traded I put out a video saying the Nicks must trade RJ Barrett and then it happened is that because I just watched names huh that’s crazy CU I’ve watched almost 175 Nicks games in the last two years 175 you must be new to the channel you must be new to the channel welcome you might learn something 194 people in the build and I’m glad they’re here because I got [ __ ] to talk about I got [ __ ] to talk about first we don’t want LeBron on the veteran minimum we don’t want to trade for KD who do you want who do you want okay khed all right all right Jackie Moon I’ll take Jackie Moon Steven Spalding it’s good that’s good point corn dogs Jackie corn dogs what up Rashad my man sh what’s up bro oh man dadpool on YouTube I love you so much I can’t believe you just said that I can’t believe you just said that do you know what I would kill a man to a prime Carmel Anthony to this team I’d kill a man I a dog I might kill that dog to add a prime Carmelo Anthony this team so braon and Melo couldn’t be further apart from play Styles and I will never agree with anyone that said the trading for Carmel Anthony was the wrong decision I will never agree with that never you know it was the wrong decision trading a first round pick for Andrea barani you know it was the wrong decision not including Iman Shumpert and a Kyle Lowry trade you know it was the wrong decision giving Tyson Chandler that contract instead of waiting another summer to sign Chris Paul the problem with the Carmel Anthony trade was that the moves you made after were made with your brain turned off if you don’t think trading Wilson Chandler Danilo galinari Tim mozgov and Raymond Felton was worth carel Anthony you will never ever get it you will never ever get it anyone that says Carmel Anthony was a bad trade we will never ever agree on anything because that was one of the best trades the Nicks ever made brought him back to relevance thing is you didn’t make a any good moves after you wouldn’t trade Iman chumper for Kyle Lowry you traded a first round pick for Andrea barani you you gave Tyson Chandler the money that Chris Paul wanted to come play with and Omari it was the moves after the Carmelo Anthony trade that did you in after if you would not trade today Wilson Chandler denillo what did Wilson chanler do after the Knicks what the what did the Nuggets do and what were the nuggets before joic nothing you do that trade every day of the week thank you John petett thank you the Mellow trade the Knicks won that Y how many first round picks did the Knicks give up in that mellow trade yall make it seem like they gave up 50 I I I’ll never get it I I’ll never get it man the name of the game is to add really good players and I promise you the Knicks would have never been better than they were with Carmel Anthony when they were the two seed and he was second in MVP if you held on to Wilson Chandler danello galinari Tim mozgov and Raymond Felton you got Raymond Felton back come on dog too many smart people on this channel fired up today I’m sick of all the nonsense sick of the nonsense Kenya what up man coming in with a $5 Super Chat thank you Brody says do we pay OG close to or 30 million with his injury history for me Kenya at this point um there’s not a number that’s too high for OG and and the reason is this is the bed you have chosen to lie in you already traded RJ you already traded quickly you can’t just let that dude walk out of the door because you were being scared to spend a little money yeah you know what I’m saying like you’ve already like by making that trade you pretty much already signed your name on the dotted line that you’re going to do whatever it takes to keep him yeah I would like to pay him as cheap as possible I think it’s going to be more than 30 million I think 4 years 160 Maybe um like yeah they they had Jason kid Mr realistic says unsub from this guy he’s not a nck fan unsub what team am I or Mr realistic what’s my team then if I’m not a Nicks fan what team am I a fan of would love to get your input um um no Nicks fans want LeBron no what you meant to say is no emotionally scarred people want LeBron yeah I’m a winner I’m a winner and that’s why we do what we do and you add LeBron James for the veteran minimum you’ll be a champion in the NBA for the first time in your life um you did say that cpj you said that last week it was like buckle up for this off season there’s going to be a be a lot of Bon heads in the chat poar says will OG be the highest paid Nick yeah absolutely he absolutely will and I don’t have a problem with that um like see you what are we going to do not pay him the money he wants that another team’s willing to pay him and then we lose him for nothing and then we’re back to who’s our starting small forward again and we need another three and D Wing no you’ve chosen to lay in the B of OG and Obi now you got to pay him what he wants to stay it it’s that it’s that easy oh man what Strong Island brother what team chemistry is LeBron James [ __ ] up because he’s won a team with every team he’s been on he’s won a championship with every team he’s been on yeah Rashad like what what would you guys have not signed Michael Jordan in the 9s for the veteran minimum cuz he played for your arch rival too yes is that what we’re saying are we just being weird is that what we’re doing today on a fine Thursday we’re being weirdly in our feelings is that what we’re doing Jason B thank you brother for being just just love that guy I love that guy we’d all take MJ I don’t care how many times he dunked on Patrick Ying if your reasons for not wanting LeBron are because of off thec court stuff then I’ll never convince you because you’ve already had your mind made up on who he is and you are entitled to that you are entitled to that but if you are going to tell me that the Knicks would not be a better team with LeBron James on a veteran minimum put the drink and put the gas down and maybe pass me the gas cuz that shit’s got to be strong Carl who you shaking your head at who you shaking your head at Carl exactly Rah we don’t want Michael Jordan you never want anywhere else besides the Chicago polls I think y’all are just trying to get under my skin now what’s up Bronx boy how you doing the Bronx boy I just want to ring what did what did what did Justin Tuck say before Super Bowl 46 he said I got a ring you don’t know what it feels like I don’t know what it feels like I want one I’ll do some nasty [ __ ] for a ring yes Carl thank you I thought you would be one of those old heads that were pissed off about that idea but I knew you knew ball brother I knew you knew ball it took Braun 25 years to get four rings I don’t want him on the Knicks period from Christy lamu how many rings do the Knicks got they’ve got two they haven’t won one in 50 years so are you not a nck fan anymore you don’t want to be a ncks fan because they haven’t won in 50 years I just don’t understand the rationale sometimes and I try to put myself on the opposite side of the screen in your guys’ shoes because I can’t get smarter if I don’t listen it’s always been a problem mine I’m trying to listen but you’re feeding me [ __ ] sell my soul to sign LeBron is that how deep you guys think this is is that how deep you think this is it’s LeBron James the chemistry that couldn’t get us past the Indiana Pacers that got swept the next round the chemistry that made us lose for the second time in the in the semifinals with homecourt advantage against an eightc in the six seed team chemistry don’t win your rings brother Talent does an Elite Talent Patrick Seaman who’s the last NBA champion that doesn’t feature a top 25 player of all time 04 Pistons okay what year is it it’s 2024 so there’s been 19 Champions crowned since the 204 Pistons yep like Tim Duncan Braun Curry ktie Giannis joic coob so you’re telling me that the past 19 NBA champions all have top 25 players of all time on their team yep then we got to get one of those then we got to get one of those cuz team chemistry doesn’t hang bangers team chemistry doesn’t put banners up in MSG Hall of Fame Talent does that’s what we got to get that’s what we got to get Al for the running back crew like I still think you would give Boston problems but I mean it would not it would still be a coin flip going up against Boston milwauke is gonna run it back Philly is gonna be back he’s close kawai’s close three time champ two time MV Finals MVP he’s damn near top 25 too and then also that team had kakum Lowry like Mark gou was still great I’d say kawai’s top his Peak his Peak he’s a top 20 player of all time best defender two time Finals MVP three time M three time MBA two time three time three time champ two three time champ two time MVP finals MVP yeah I’d say he’s really close top 25 and they got lucky they got to run into a Warriors team that was hurt OG salute brother salute brother I’m getting pissed off by the chat getting pissed off kawhai was hurt when he won the finals MVP Christy are you just yelling things into the universe for attention all right let’s talk about it cuz cuz we don’t want Giannis we don’t want LeBron we don’t want KD we want the nasis exact we want the nasis exactly want than asses OG the word is we don’t want LeBron James on the veteran minimum we don’t want to trade for Kevin Durant and we don’t want to give up enough for Giannis so I’m trying to figure out who are we wanting who are we wanting Nick devto in the building tuning in for a weekly live show not at a game Deo can can everybody drop an eyeball Emoji in the chat for Nick Deo I don’t know I’ve ever seen Devo in a live chat uh for a non-game day he’s normally only a game player but he’s like Josh Hart he doesn’t practice but he shows up for game day and he’s ready to play he’s and he’s ready to play he’s a game guy eyeballs in the chat shout out to yeah you’re right will let’s just resign Obie and get RJ Barrett back oh man I love you guys I love you I love all of y’all oh man shout out to all 210 people in the building if you haven’t yet please hit that thumbs up icon and um we’re going to talk affordable free agents for the Knicks and then we’re going to talk Giannis and then we’re going to talk Giannis we’re going to talk Giannis um all right all right Nick devido says OG might go to Philly yeah we’ve heard that we’ve heard that but we can offer more we can offer more and uh his his son or his his agent is the son of Leon Rose you don’t trade for OG without knowing from the agent that he wants to be here long term I also don’t think OG and Obi would have played and risked his injured hamstring getting worse unless he knew that there was already a deal on the table but it is true he might go to Philly he also might never play again he’s going to resign with the Knicks though I I I’m going to put a lot of money on that a lot of money on that what’s up Darren gaale hey I’m I’m cool with that I’m cool with that but I don’t think you’re getting Mel Bridges unless you’re including Julius Randall you think we’re getting bridges for Mitchell Robinson and dece McBride I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know I don’t know let’s talk about it affordable free agents let’s go [Music] you’re watching Nicks Now by chat sports I am your host Marshall Green appreciate everybody for stopping by as we’re going to talk some NBA free agency for the New York Knicks right now the Knicks they do not have any cap space and it would take some major moves to make that happen but they are not quite yet a tax team they are $24.8 million away from the first apron and they are 35 $5.6 million away from the second apron which means that they can offer the mid-level exception as long as they stay below the first apron which is a $1.9 million contract if you are going to plan on uh spending that full mle you’re going to have to make a decision on Buon bogdanovich bogie has a $2 million guaranteed he has $2 million guaranteed out of his 19 million salary for this upcoming season so the Knicks will have to make a decision on that they could it’s pretty much a team option you pick up the team option he’s on the books for1 19 million you decline it and you just take a $2 million hit and he is a free agent also if you want to spend that mid mle that uh $12.9 million deal on a free agent you’re going to have to sign the mle player before Isaiah hartenstein and OG and an Obi or send it into the league office and make it official to where you sign the mle and then you go over the luxury tax to resign iHeart and OG if you’re going to resign iHeart and OG you’re already going to be a tax team so there’s going to be a way for Leon roseen crew to make it happen you can also break up the mid-level exception into multiple deals for instance the max mle is a 4-year deal worth about 55 million so you could in theory offer a two-year deal for $22 million to1 person and two years and $22 million for another or you could break it up in multiple ways but we’re going to talk about players that would most likely command this type of money whether it’s a one year two year three year or maybe one free agent at the end of the show that you would use to break it up but before I give you five players that are going to be free agents that fit in my opinion as mle players maybe they go for a little bit more maybe they are uh just more expensive than that to be quite honest with you but I want to answer uh from you guys what is the Knicks biggest need this summer the biggest need for the New York Knicks is what I want to hear from all the real ones in the comment section right now my first midlevel exception fore agent Target for the Knicks is the defending small forward Patrick Williams from the Chicago Bulls and when Patrick seatman built these Graphics he was very very upset with me that I put his sweet prince PE pdub pclaw pdub I will not call him p du if he is a member next maybe I will maybe I won’t um but my opinion a type of player that the Knicks need very clearly aligns with Patrick Williams 6’7 215 lbs and just 22 years old one of the best perimeter defenders in the NBA he can guard twos he can guard threes he can guard fours and his offensive game is underrated in my opinion the only thing I’m a little bit concerned about with Patrick Williams is that he’s had two seasons where he barely played played in half the games this year and only 17 games in 2021 but what I love about him is the defense defensive ability that he provides he gives the Knicks another guy off the bench that if OG is hurt he can slide into that spot he could also make it to where the workload on OG throughout the season is not nearly as high and he gives you another sniper from downtown one of the best off to catch players in the league he continues to work on his off the bounce game he’s got a little crafty mid-range game as well um I’d be a big fan of this move he is a restricted free agent meaning the Chicago Bulls could match that offer um who knows if they’re willing to go to four years and $55 million I’m sure that they would but if not I would give him that type of bag and the Knicks get to add another versatile Defender that can shoot it and create for himself a little bit another player that I’m interested as a midlevel exception free agent is Kelly UB we saw Kelly UB up close and personal in round won against the pH Philadelphia 76ers he was able to guard Jaylen Brunson at least made it tough on him Brunson still got his but it definitely was not easy and kind of the same thought that I have with Williams is what I have with UB another 6′ s Wing to come off the bench Can guard some players at different positions but UB is a much more polished scorer than Patrick Williams compared to Patrick Williams being a I would say a level above UB if not two levels above him as a Defender UB was on the veteran minimum this year for the Philadelphia 76ers it would be quite a pay raise to see him go up to$ 122.9 million per year and I think he’s right in our sweet spot he would bring a little bit of grit a little bit of grind a little bit of nastiness we saw him do that with the Philadelphia 76ers my biggest concern with him though is his inconsistent three-point shot and I don’t love adding players to this team that can’t really knock it down at a high clip cuz that’s kind of what you need cuz brunson’s going to have the ball in his hands a lot randle’s going to have the ball in his hands a lot those guys are going to get doubled they’re going to kick it out to open Shooters and I don’t love that UB hasn’t shot over 32% from three since 2021 but we know he can slash he can get out and run and transition and he’s going to give you 15 points a night he’s done that for four straight Seasons another Philadelphia 76er that I may get killed for a him on this video but man if you could add Tobias Harris to come off the bench and play 25 minutes and not ask him to be a star not ask him to do anything except score the basketball I think Tobias Harris makes a lot of sense and a reason I included him outside of being a New York native is that Tom Tibido loves to buy his hairs if you’ve watched this channel for a couple of years now we’ve put quotes up on screen where tibs would praise haris and it was a rumor before the 2022 2023 season that Tom Tibido signed off on a trade that would have sent Randall ailan Tobias Harris to the Knicks never went down but tibs really really likes him and I honestly think Toby gets a bad rap a bad rap from time to time is he a number one option hell no is he a two no is he a three no can he be a four or can he be a six-man I think so the guy averages 17 points per game on 48% from the deck and 35% from three if you’re telling me we can add another player that can score 15 shoot 38% from three grab boards and give you a six 9 610 Wing that could play the four and play the three yeah I I would be cool with that has he underwhelmed in Philadelphia yes did he sometimes shrink in the playoffs no doubt about it that’s why we’re talking about affordable free agent that’s why I think he would cost about $13 million per year I’ll sign up for a 610 guy that can shoot it that could score it and one guy that your coach absolutely loves we’ve got two more free agents that we’re going to talk about for the midlevel exception but first I got to give a huge shout out to

clns promo code clns pick more pick less win big money withdraw your winnings kind of a theme here I’m going with a forward that’s what I think the Knicks need um and I thought that rang true when we had to see Josh Hart guard Pascal seaka when ogn and Obi went down and you could consider this type of signing any of these four signings we’re going to talk about uh as kind of insurance for OG and Obi I’m looking at sadique Bay more Nova more wins even though he’s not quite quite like uh the other villain NOA cats but I think he would also be um a great addition 6’7 215 PBS still just 25 years old and he could scored at a high clip for some reason though he has not been able to knock down the three-o point shot at the high level that he once did in 2020 and 2021 he knocked it down at 38% from three and then since then it’s gone down pretty much every year 34 and 21 up to 36 in 2022 if he comes here and average is 13.8 4.7 rebound shoot 36% from three I would love that Off the Bench I don’t know what happened this year shooting 31% I’m going to blame that on just the fact that the Atlanta Hawks are not a good basketball team and he is not in that really trying to play for a bad team trying to make excuses for him one thing that I’m also a little bit worried about is he tore his ACL in March so may take him a little while to get back I think he’d be ready to go probably in November or December and that’s maybe why you’re able to get him as a mid-level exception Target maybe the price is down a little bit always a little bit concerned about signing players off that injury but I think because of the torn ACL he would be able to be a little bit more affordable and maybe you can get him for the long term on a deal like that it’s risky no doubt about it but if he can return to form I think that he would be a really good fit for the New York Knicks I want to talk about a guard as well and that’s going to be the last free agent Target that we talk about on today’s show I still think that the Knicks need a true point guard off Off the Bench and maybe a true point guard is the wrong way to phrase it they need an offense of engine and Reggie Jackson was that exactly for the Denver Nuggets last year he made $5 million for the Nuggets he has a team opt a player option he’s probably going to decline that enter free agency and get some more money but I’m tired of when Brunson comes out of the floor the offense doesn’t have anyone else that can take the ball run a pick and roll get downhill create for himself and create for others and Reggie Jackson does that four straight years in a row averaging 10 plus points per game he was really good this year for Denver man played 81 games and he got that three-point percentage up to 36% if you’re telling me we can add another point guard Off the Bench that’s averaging 10 plus points and giving you 43% from the field and 36% from three I’d be all over that he is 34 years old so it would be a shorter contract but I truly do believe the Knicks need a scoring guard Off the Bench they need a guy that can keep the offense afloat while Brunson sits down a lot of people be like Marshall that’s Duce McBride I don’t believe Duce McBride is a point guard I believe he is an undersized two guard and I think him and Reggie Jackson would actually be a pretty decent backcourt pairing but um I think I think Jackson would make a lot of sense and I don’t think he would even cost close to that 122.9 million salary we’ve talked about five players on today’s show five players on today’s show if you had to pick one of them to sign who would it be is it Patrick Williams is it Kelly UB Tobias Harris sadique Bay or Reggie Jackson I want to hear from all of you in the comment section make sure you are following me on social media I’m on Twitter I’m on IG Marshall greencore if you want to yell at me over there do it and let’s go Nicks um you want Kyle Anderson I do not Kyle Anderson shoots 20% from three I don’t want to add anyone really that can’t shoot monk at 13 would be awesome Malik monk is going to be making close to $25 million per year yeah I’d go Patrick Williams to the Knicks um I I mean the fact he’s 22 years old still even shocks me it’s already has four years of NBA experience sadique Bay did tear his ACL in March back by January yeah back by January and we’re ready to rock Patrick you probably get him for a veteran minimum yeah Lonnie Walker I me and seeps are actually talking about Lonnie Walker I like him he’s not going to command anything close to $ 122.9 million uh Jonathan Isaac is not a free agent Demar D rozan I want him to put him on this list I don’t think he signed him for $13 million he reportedly turned down $40 million from the Bulls um like like a guy like Lonnie Walker could be on like a different list that we do yeah super affordable yeah this is this was double digigit million dooll salary players Drew holiday just sign a four-year extension Strong Island bomber now kind of Talent on yourselves bam out of Bio come on guys come on um who’s a good bench scoring PG that’s affordable the best one was Reggie Jackson that’s why I included him I looked at a list of every free agent kozma’s going for more and you need to trade for him yeah he’s he’s he also is not a free agent yeah kozz might get 25 Drummond like Drummond and Lonnie Walker could be on the like another Super fourble list that we do I mean Kyle kman signed a fouryear $90 million deal this past summer he’s he’s going for more than 20 25 Bruce Brown um the Raptors will have to make a decision on his team option um so TBD on if he’s going to be a free agent but if he is a free agent he would have been on this video because I know the Knicks do want him we don’t we we’re too good for Tobias Harris we’re too good for Tobias Harris Off the Bench bro we just had to watch Alec Burke save this team in game six and game seven and we’re too good for Tobias Harris that’s crazy I do like Chris Paul if he’s bought out yeah no we yeah me and seeps have talked about that we would love to sign Chris Paul if he’s bought out he won’t listen come on guys come on John petett didn’t Kelly o lenck just signed a big deal with the Raptors wait or yeah he signed a uh twoyear 265 million extension not a free agent see keep that in mind Kelly oen was getting 13 and a half like when we’re talking about numbers with these guys like these guys are getting paid a lot of money now what’s up Tomar bsar I don’t want miles bridges on my team John th I I can’t I can’t do that and he’s not a winning player I can’t do that yeah it went under the radar went under the radar where are we picking in the first round we have picks 24 and 25 24 and 25 Devin Carter out of Providence I I’m still skeptical on that guy being a first round pick tibs guy though I don’t see the Knicks drafting 24th and 25th I bet the Knicks want to package those picks and move up John pen I know that Tobias Harris gets a lot of heat I I add Tobias Harris to the bench to back up Randall and OG that would be awesome that would be awesome get your better on the margins Rah says let’s talk about the Five Guys you picked that’s why you’re watching the show so we could talk about it feel free to talk about it would love to hear from you man that’s why the comment section is open you don’t have to tell me let’s talk about it just just talk about it my man Devo Nick deito in the building what’s up Nick Deo thank you thank you why don’t I like miles Bridges uh because he’s a scumbag and he beats women so I don’t want him on my team that’s that that’s that on that you guys could look that up on your own yeah that’s that’s that on that um but I’m I’m ready to get the chat fired up um with this Giannis trade idea I almost want to show it right now but you’re good John thti you’re good oh oh you didn’t know about that yeah yeah not not good not good um yeah he’s not a good guy um Quinton Gilliam I’m just respectfully not going to talk about that on the show and I and I and I hope that you could respect that I hope that you could respect that you guys are talking about ruining chemistry I mean um everyone’s allowed to have an opinion on it mine is I I just don’t want them on my team and I don’t want to talk about him on this show we’ve already spent too much time doing so um all right let’s talk about yanis I am ready for the chat to be mad on me um all right it’s it’s not a jokeing well yeah we’ll change all right all right keep it with Nick’s Hoops guys come on qg come on let’s talk some Yannis let’s talk Giannis um I can’t wait for you guys to tell me no I can’t wait for you guys to tell me no let’s do it [Music] you’re watching Nick Now by chat sports I am your host Marshall green and it is time to talk about a potential blockbuster trade Brian wior of ESPN said this the whole league is obviously watching what happens with Yannis certainly the Knicks are one of them he didn’t mention any other team he didn’t mention any other team and we told you guys last off seon Knicks were watching and once again Brian windhorse one of the most connected NBA people says the Knicks are watching the Giannis anmo sweep Stakes now we’re talking now we’re cooking with gas you want to win an NBA title you got to have a top 30 player ever go all the way back to the 200 four Pistons much I love Brunson that’s going to be really tough for him to be there but if he gets a sidekick partner like Giannis they could be the best duo in modern NBA history before we dive into this and I tell you why the Knicks should do whatever it takes I got a trade idea for you on Giannis I know you guys are not going to like the question is this should the Knicks go all in for Yannis an TMO type y for yes Type n for no can’t wait to read the comments yes you go all in for Giannis are we crazy we don’t want to go all in for Giannis is that what we’re telling me now first we didn’t want to sign LeBron James for the veteran minimum second we didn’t want to give up anything for Kevin Durant and now we don’t want a 29-year-old Giannis who just finished fourth in MVP and he’s going to go down as one of the top 30 players of all time you tell me we don’t want to do that the guy that at 29 years old averaged 30 points 11 and a half rebounds 6 and a half assists on 6 1% from the field this year we don’t want that guy is that what we’re telling me you do whatever it takes to make a Giannis trade you do whatever it takes you guys always tell me Marshall we can’t trade the farm your farm begins and ends with Jaylen Brunson and OG and an Obi that’s it that is it everybody else is on the table for Giannis have you ever seen a graphic like this on screen where the stats were this high 30 points 30 points 30 points 28 points 11 boards 11 boards 11 boards 11 boards six assists five assists six assists six assists guy’s special and he’s also really good in the playoffs already an NBA champion scored 50 points in a game seven game six game six in the NBA Finals averaging 26.6 points per game 12 rebounds five assists one block 1.3 Steals and 52.7% from the field in the playoffs and we’ve already seen him be the best player on the planet on the biggest stage the dude in the finals averaged 35135 two blocks and 62% from the field and closed them out with 50 points I know people are going be like Marshall we’re and I already see a comment in the chat you’re going to have to gut the team to get him I don’t know if I want to do that again one the Knicks didn’t got the team for carelo Anthony they did not I will never agree with anybody that said that they traded Wilson Chandler P mozgov Danilo galinari and Raymond Felton you did not get the team you didn’t have a team gutting the team would have been mean you traded Amari STM different cono different day but what I’m saying applies to this you can’t overpay for Giannis you will no one will ever make a trade for Giannis and it’s like whoa you gave up way too much for the second best player in the world that will never be said you’ll never be said and if there is any team in the league that is equipped to overpay for Giannis you’re going to have to give up a lot of these picks you got two in 2024 four in 2025 eight tradable first round picks in 11 first rounders in the next seven years you can afford to overpay on the draft picks if you even want to call it that your 2025 draft Capital looks as so you own Milwaukee’s pick it’s top four protected you own Detroit’s pick which is top 13 protected did Washington’s top 10 pick and then your own third and then your own first round pick a lot of people have said Marshall you’ve brought up trading Randall a couple of times and I have and I said I would trade him for Mel Bridges I said I would trade him for Kevin Durant Giannis joins that list Giannis is one of the few players I trade Julius Randall for he is because simply he is better and I hope I have made myself clear this off season that the only way I trade Julius Randall is if I’m getting a better player I’m getting a player that’s just as good or I am getting a player that fits this team better because I hope through two seasons of watching this show the people that do watch this show have learned sometimes fit is more important than talent and I’m doing that deal every day of the week and I love Julius Randall but I’m moving him in a heartbeat foran coming up next I got a trade idea for you that involves Julius r going to the bucks with the Knicks getting

beginning of the video you cannot overpay for Giannis but I know how you guys are going to say we overpaid so I’m just going to let you know for your standards the Knicks will have to overpay for Giannis that’s what you have to do when you are trying to trade for the second best player arguably in the world the only negative thing to what I think Brian wior said is I’m not so sure the Bucks will trade him this offseason the Bucks lose in the first round again next year and that’s three years in a row they lose in the first round they’re done because because Dame pis Lopez and Middleton father time is tugging on the back of their shirt they know they had this year and they’ve got next year but maybe they’re a forward or thinking organization and they say why don’t we just max out on the value now and start to rebuild and tearing it up and building it back up now they could but they all also could say we’ve gone this far we’re that close let’s give it one more run I think next year is more likely but let’s talk as if what Brian wior said is true teams are monitoring it because it might just happen all right now you guys hate me right you hate me cuz I’m willing to trade Julius Randle Mitchell Robinson Duce McBride and seven first round picks for Giannis do you hate me Randall Robinson Deuce four unprotected all that you can offer and seven uh three protected so seven first round picks Robinson deuce and Randall for Giannis I don’t even think that’s enough I don’t even think that’s enough but let’s say it is let’s say it is let’s say that’s the deal that Milwaukee says we will do and this is your starting lineup Brunson St chenzo or Hart one of them come off the bench with OG Giannis and hartenstein Brunson if your top six is Brunson Dante Hart OG Giannis and hartenstein you’re not winning the championship you’re not you might just be a dynasty you might win multiple championships that roster I just showed you this is a ship Contender for five plus Seasons that is a championship contender in most likely the championship favorite for the next five seasons you would would have one of the best scoring guards in the league you would have maybe the best big man in the league and Giannis at the power forward position one of the best Rim prot are one of the best defensive centers in hartenstein one of the best Wing defenders in OG and two of the better role players in the league in Hart and Divan chenzo but you might say Marshall who else do we got don’t worry I’ll tell you in a second would you do the deal would you do the deal Quinton Gilliam says hell no told you a for accept D for decline Randall Robinson Deuce four unprotected first three protected first that’s why you got all these first round picks to do the deal you got to pay to play this this one might be high to P play but so will that Banner that they’re going to raise in Madison Square Garden it’s accepted it’s not even close I would get if I could give more first round picks I would I’ve got eight tradeable Nicks could trade eight you want eight I’ll give you eight I would it’s TMO with Brunson in OG in Hart in hartenstein and Dante yes you do that are you kidding me we’re saying no to that so we don’t want to trade for Giannis we don’t want LeBron James for free and we don’t want KD do we want to win do we want to win do we want to compete and I’ll say it it would suck to see Julius and Mitch and Duce go it absolutely would it absolutely would and you might say Marshall if the Bucks are trading Giannis why would they want Randall it could be a very similar situation as to what we saw with Drew holiday going to the Portland Trailblazers last year even though they didn’t want him and they rerouted him to the Boston Celtics and they got picks and players back the uh bucks could do that with Julius Rand if they want to it might say well Marshall how are we going to fill out our bench how we going to fill out our bench Marshall remember the Miami Heat when they saw LeBron and dwade and Chris Bosch the ring hunting veterans they’ll come play for you you already have an elite top six we know tibs only goes eight deep you only need two or three more vets yes you do this deal ring hunting vets will come play for you and remember I said seven first round picks seven first round picks you have 11 in the next seven years that means you’d still have four more you’d still have four more yes you do the trade and once they say accept you hang up and you pop champagne cuz you just paired Jaylen Brunson with Giannis an TMO I’ll make this eight first round picks you still got three in your back pocket over the next seven years and a boatload of second round picks yes you do it if you said no put it down just put it down make sure you are following me on social media I’m on Twitter I’m on Instagram @ Marshall greenore you do the deal and you celebrate once you get it done and you get ready to start a a dynasty as the New York Knicks Al I’ll be honest there were more accepts than I thought I think my pep talk at the start of the show dialed them in but there was still far too many notes I was I honestly felt like a proud dad right there watching the chat coming with A’s cpj saying where do I push the button for this trade it would hurt no doubt but I would it hurt no actually I don’t it wouldn’t it’s Randall it’s Randle a hurt Robinson and and we all love Deuce I love deuce deuce would stink to see him watch him leave but you’re getting you’re getting Giannis yeah I mean I think you have to this is more likely next summer though which you said [Music] um could make it a little more interesting but it’s also like that deal for the bucks if you do reroute random that that could legit be 10 first round picks what better way to restart than just every pick you can imagine cuz they’re staring they’re staring death in the face right now they are Middleton’s close yeah Brooks close poris is close Nick davidov there’s no perfect player out there but I’m willing to mortgage my future for Giannis I am if they want the nases yeah we got if we got to take the nasus we’ll take him he’s already been a Nick once that’s fine we will take the nasus cpj I’m glad we always think alike my man I’m glad um going to the second round was really fun two years ago that would be the going to the second round again this year was cool I’m tired of losing in the second round with home court advantage I’m tired of that like the second round would like if you make that trade the second round is a disappointment like that’s what the standard would be I’m tired of losing on our home floor to the e seed and the six seed with homecourt Advantage can’t play in New York I’m pretty sure Giannis has a gamewinner in New York like one of his first ever could be wrong dto that guy could play anywhere he put up 50 in a closeout game in the finals 50 in a closeout game in the finals deav he has the dog mentality yes he does for a guy who struggled at the free throw line his whole career you have 17 and 19 in that game that kind of speaks to his mental fortitude I think Julius Randle played in New York City and I don’t mean to throw shade at Julius Alec Burks played well in the playoffs for the Knicks Giannis can too come on dog come on dog and also you’re not playing like you have the garden faithful behind you it’s not like you’re playing on the road yeah they’re rooting for you it ain’t hard what’s he not gonna do dunk the ball cuz cuz he’s scared of the crowd sound like he’s a jump shooting Guy where like nerves can play a factor but I think that would be the perfect pairing with uh Giannis and Brunson I really do cuz jannis Yannis is not a closer like that’s his one negative but he also does all the little things perfect at an A+ level could you imagine a defense with hartenstein OG Giannis you’re winning a lot of games you’re winning a lot of games we’re going to close Today’s Show with the mailbag if you want to be featured on our mailbag comment down below use the hash Nick or Super Chat go always going to respect Randall always going to respect Randall always going to respect Randall always but at the end of the day we’re the New York Knicks we’re the New York Knicks you can make a move to get better you do it Ash nixor Super Chat to get on the show comment down below include number sign Nicks as it appears on your screen no space that way producer Patrick seatman can pop your question up on screen now Demitri in the chat what’s up man let’s save uh Nile’s question for the mailbag shout out the Nile oh Yannis oh yanis also I don’t know if it was this I think it was the last video said what’s the next biggest need it’s finding that other star yep it’s like it’s finding a player better than Jaylen Brunson yeah which is hard there is a salary cap in the NBA bill it’s a little bit more tricky though so even if you’re over the salary cap as long as you’re not a taxpaying team so there’s a salary cap here taxes up here if you’re below the tax you still get about $1.9 million every year to sign a player you can also unlike in the NFL Bill if the player has been on your team for more than two seasons in most situations you can go over the salary cap to sign your own players for instance the Knicks are over the salary cap right now bill but they can sign and Obi and they can sign Isaiah hartenstein so it’s a little bit more nuanced than the NFL salary cap a little bit more nuanced and it allows the teams to to to to um to spend money even when they’re not Anderson Simpson says Dynasty that alone reasons to do it that’s a dynasty that’s a d that is that is a five-year window where you are hoping to get three or four run and Giannis on the same team cuz like that’s like Giannis is one negative he’s not a closer you would have a closer and Brunson like it would work out great man it would Brunson Yannis playing four on three very Giannis KY or Lebron KY viibes yeah would be except with a way better Supporting Cast yeah and way better point guard all righty make sure you are getting some questions in I don’t know how they’re looking on your end but I feel like we’re a little low ‘s a couple more fellas you guys could help us out help us out drop a question include hash Nicks and if somebody could throw out like I think we all know like the typical trade targets like the bridges like those types of guys let’s get a little deep let’s get a little bit more deeper with it we’ve talked all the surface level guys and I’ll I’ll hunt those out you will for sure get on the show like let’s see who can get creative here as a trade Target for a nick I want to hear from OG I want to hear from cpj I want to hear from John thy I want to hear from John petett I want to hear what you guys think the niick should do also what I love now you can reply the super chats in the chat I love that that’s pretty sweet I do like that as well like when cpj sent that in there you had people replying to him in the chat I loved it um if y’all just want to ask me about a player what what they should do it could be quite literally anything Kenya get a question in there big dog my dog Kenya knows hoop Kenya’s been locked in today Kenya’s locked in he’s always locked in Kenya tell me who you want and I’m going to react to that Kenya just include hashtag Nick in there hash Nick in there appreciate it guys appreciate it P it will my man will a thrill from Brazil get your question in my homie get your question in all right let’s do it it’s mailbag time here on Nick Now by chat sports one of my favorite shows to do of the week I just get to chop it up with all the real ones that consistently support this Channel and I get to answer your questions we do only take questions from subscribers so if we didn’t get to your question means it’s your fault change it subscribe right now and help Nix now get to 50,000 Subs we’re about a thousand away my go my guy Joel Santos what’s up homie sweet sweet lid bro says Klay Thompson or Demar DE rozan after the Knicks make a major trade so you’re saying they’re if they make a big trade who would I rather have Klay Thompson or Demar D rozan I’d probably say clay because he can shoot better and I don’t know if he can defend anymore but he kind of fits more as as a complimentary piece but if you make a big trade you’re not getting Klay Thompson or DeMar rzan because Klay Thompson is going for more than the midlevel exception as is DeMar D rozan now if the question is Joel Santos who would I rather have Klay Thompson or Demar D rozan with no like that’s the big move I’m going toar D rozan I am I think another guy that can create his own shot control the flow of the offense and get you clutch time buckets in the fourth quarter clutch Player of the Year Demar D rozan finished second and clut Player of the Year first last year second and clutch player of the year was DeMar D rozan this year if the Knicks do not make any big moves and they can go get Demar D rozan I would love that I was begging for them to trade for Demar D rozan at the trade deadline you need another guy that can control the offense and create for themselves and others while Brunson sits down D rozan is one of the most underrated Playmakers in the league consistently averages four plus assists I think it’s up to like six at this point with the Chicago Bulls he almost runs point guard at times for them another guy that can score in the half court when brunson’s Off the Bench I would go with d rozan over clay I just think both those guys are probably a little unrealistic it have to be a sign in trade for both them because I think they’re going to command more than the potential mid-level exception the Knicks might have Julian what’s up man would you do the bronny signing to get LBJ and a vet minimum and then sign CP3 Off the Bench yeah yeah if I can add Chris Paul and LeBron James to this team for two veteran minimum contracts absolutely any person in the world that’s a Knicks fan that says they don’t want LeBron James for the veteran minimum they’re lying they are lying and they’re letting their emotions get in the way Ty dubs what’s up man appreciate the $5 Super Chat homie he says I say let’s go with Bridges de under no circumstances go for lpj you wouldn’t Taj Gibson played on the vet minimum for us you wouldn’t give him Taj gibon and money come on dog I love you though I love you you’re just wrong on this one my mother said that I’d tell her she was wrong um yeah Mel Bridgets remains a top trade Target for me this off season he will I think he brings a lot where the Knicks need another versatile Defender Wing defending Wing that knocks it down at a high rate in spot ups and he attacks Closeouts better than almost anybody in this league and he’s a Nova boy always in on that oh what’s up bro says I’m down with the Giannis trade I also like the cheap options like Williams Harris or Bay yeah I think that if the Knicks are find a way to make it to where they can get that mid-level exception then I think a wing is probably what I was looking at and that’s based kind of off the market I went and um I ranked every single free agent that’s out there and I was looking for guys in that midlevel area and I think someone off the bench a wing spot that could supplement OG OG uh makes a lot of sense this was the trade idea we brought up on a show earlier this week OG was referencing this one let me know would you make this trade for Giannis Randall Robinson Deuce four unprotected three protected seven total first round picks would you do the deal a for accept D for decline re 88 what’s up man Malcolm Brogden and Herb Jones as trade targets because I’m pretty sure let me just double check here Malcolm Brogden if I remember right he has two years left on his deal dating back to when we were trying to trade for him at the trade deadline yeah he signed a two-year deal for $45 million and he is on the books for 22 A5 this upcoming year so it’ have to be a trade for him I wouldn’t mind trading for Brogden I would have liked for the Knicks to trade for him at the trade deadline he fits what I think that they need another Creator Off the Bench for themselves and others when it comes to Herb Jones um New Orleans ain’t letting him go he’s a really good player and he’s really young and he signed a four-year contract with the Pelicans worth $53 Million last off seon um what a steal of a deal they aren’t trading him they aren’t trading him I wish they would because I would love him on this team but probably not trading him Carter trade for Jimmy Butler Trey young we haven’t talked about Jimmy Butler we have not talked about Jimmy Butler I wouldn’t mind adding Jimmy Butler but he said he doesn’t want to play for tibs anymore said he wants to beat tibs and I think it would be pretty old school Nicks to give Jimmy Butler a max deal and what I mean by that is he has past his prime he is the injuries are stacking up um is he still good yeah is he still a star absolutely can he still get it done in the playoffs yeah but we’re almost two years removed now from him doing that and you pay players for what they can do not what they have done what they have done and paying those players for that is what the Knicks used to

information will be clickable down in the comments and description of today’s video Strong Island bomber what’s up bro says what is going to happen with Sims Jericho Sims has a team option for the 2425 season I expect for the Knicks to pick that team option up it’s for like two or2 and A5 million dollars or something around that um I would pick that up toppen Milton and Jeff are all free agents and I would expect the Knicks to try to bring all of them back maybe not milon toppen and Jeff once again on a g-league deal or on one of those two-way deals as well um he says they got to be replaced with some better bench players yeah um the Knicks those guys weren’t your bench players those were your g-league players your bench players got hurt so they were then rusted into your bench players you can’t be good from 1 to 15 just not possible in the NBA but I understand what you’re saying um those were your g- Leaguers I think the Knicks bench is fine I think they could use another score another Wing but um I’m not too worried about replacing toppen and Milton and Jeff right now Liam Tor torella torella I think I got it right there last time Liam torella how about jiren Jackson Jr if he ever becomes available yes I love jiren Jackson Jr uh I actually think he’d be the perfect power forward for the New York Knicks he defends at a high level he can stretch the floor on offense elite elite shop Walker um yeah Willam I would love to trade for jiren Jackson but if you’re the Grizzlies why are you doing that he’s a part of your team with Bane and John Moran for the foreseeable future Raymond what’s up man says what do what you think about Booker Paul George Devin Booker I I would I would pay the price Paul George if you can get Paul George without trading Randall you do it um I’m not so sure I would trade Randall for Paul George at this point but if you could somehow finesse Robinson Bogey and Duce and picks for Paul George yeah you do that and then your starting lineup is Brunson George OG Randall hartstein with your bench being Dante D venzo and Josh Hart that’s a really really good team um I’d love to get both those guys uh I would pay pretty much whatever it takes to get Devon Booker and for Paul George I would only do it if I could keep Julius Randle that’s how I feel on that John th what’s up John thy I don’t want Zion at all but surprised there hasn’t been much talk there given all the history of the Knicks rumors with him thoughts yeah I’m surprised we haven’t heard a little bit more of that this off season good picking up on that I’m with you though man I’m tired of doing injury update videos I’m tired of talking about injured players but man he was good in that playing game before he got hurt I can’t trade for Zion I can’t too injury prone too injury prone I can’t do it I can’t do it Thomas Lori marinan I think Lori is a really really good player I struggle with saying I would trade Randall for Markin in and I’ve come a long way from that um I feel like Nick’s fans at times have overrated Randall because we haven’t seen him so long but man that team was so good in January like they were so good 11 and one number one defense number one offense number one rebounding team eight plus beating teams by 18 points a night the only way I would go in for marinin is if Randall is off the team and I think I would keep Randall over marinin I think I would um it’s close but I think if you’re trading Rand for Markin they’re going to want you to add a lot of first round picks to that and I’m not doing that not doing that um if you trade Randall and a package for a guy like let’s say you trade Randall and Bri U Randall Robinson and McBride for Bridges right for Bridges and then you can go get Lori sure but I don’t I don’t think that you got a spot for Lori if randle’s on the team because then is Lori playing the three and then OG’s playing the two so you’re pretty much saying you got to trade ran for Lori I don’t think I’d do it let me know would y’all trade Julius Randall for Lori marketing let me know in the chat make sure you’re follow me over on social media I’m on Twitter I’m on Instagram hit me up over there and let’s go next good questions fellas appreciate you those were good oh y’all stepped up to the plate we appreciate y’all oh thank you guys thank thank you guys that was those were great questions those were great questions thank you so much LeBron ruins every team he leaves LeBron also wins a championship for every team he plays on you know what I would do normally when great players leave teams they normally become worse just that’s kind of crazy crazy to think about um I would take my team being destroyed if it meant winning a finals as well yeah 100% if I was guaranteed a Knicks finals I would take five years of of of basement level NBA play from them for five years if it guaranteed a ring um but that that’s just how I fan you can fan how yall want I ain’t ever going to tell none of y’all how a fan because I don’t like what people tell me how to fan you’re a fan you are quite literally running off emotion um Liam thank you I don’t usually pronounce prounce people’s name right so thank you [Applause] tooi massive salutes and respects to Big Boss Martian Lil seeps and all the Die Hard Giants Nicks and Rangers fans across the pond greeting from Princeton joisy joisy Jersey are you in Jersey it’s a game five tonight for the Rangers game five tonight for the Rangers do do what’s the date for the stream again think it’s June 5th June 5th tuto on peacock was it June 5th on peacock tuto oh appreciate you man bill says Grant answers Marsh what you think of Cole Anthony love Cole Anthony that dude competes yeah he’s plays hard he competes he plays hard he could score he could dish a little undersized so he’s limited as a Defender but he competes on that side of the ball I didn’t see him as a free agent though actually think he just inced a deal yeah he signed a threeyear deal for $39 million um he’s not a free agent until potentially 2026 2027 I love Cole Anthony if they’re talking about trading him I would call I would call John th says likelihood of running a back versus a big trade I think it’s more likely the Knicks run it back versus a big trade this summer to buy a TV a TV’s got to be on sale I can’t make a team trade me a star they got to be for sale do I think Burks or precious comes back I would say no I think Burks is more likely than precious but if I had to put my money on it I would say both are probably not back with the Knicks I’d take them though I’d take them back alrighty we’re going to sign off on today’s show I got a three-day weekend coming up going back to Houston to see my niece and nephew get baptized so got to start packing tonight um shout out to all the people that tuned in man no I felt it was a great stream you guys uh you guys brought it you brought it um just too much slander for the second greatest player of all time that’s all I’m going to say but I get it listen I’m a bulls fan I hate LeBron more than anybody as well you know but he’s also a hell of a basketball player yeah to act like you wouldn’t add LeBron James for a veteran minimum I think is just a wee bit crazy just a wee just a wee just a wee bit crazy to say you don’t want LeBron James for free like for free they it’s a wee bit crazy um tuto says marshy July 20th I got here home on Tuesday and I’ll be here for a week before traveling to Dublin Ireland joint training and practice with with gingerhead loses the Dublin iron oh now I get it now I get it funny funny funny um trading up for Williams would include what Cody Williams That’s who he was talking about in the chat um I think it’d take pick 24 pick 25 and probably pick 38 yeah definitely and I don’t does that even get you in the top 10 yeah you he’s a top 10 top 12 guy yeah he’s right around there yeah I don’t know I don’t know I don’t think so I do not want Josh giddy either Josh I not want Josh K Nick fans realize who you are now like I think like realize the team you root for now is not the Knicks you were rooting for four years ago you are the big dogs like it’s like it is it’s one of three teams to get to the second round of the playoffs two years in a row it’s you it’s the nuggets and the Celtics there are three teams in the NBA that have been in the second round of the playoffs the last two years the Knicks the Celtics and the Nuggets you’re not a margin team anymore like it’s exactly you’re not you are a championship contest you need to make Championship Contender moves Championship mindset from the fans you know what the Celtics did after losing in the Conference Finals they traded their blood and sweat of the team yeah and Marcus Smart they they were one game from the finals and they made Moves one game from the finals and also why did the Nuggets probably lose this year they didn’t make any moves try to run it back run it back’s never the right answer unless it’s like you got like the Knicks I think are a different example because you have guys coming back and they didn’t even really run it back they lost BR Bruce Brown they actually got worse yeah they expected guys like Christian Brown and other guys to take more of a step uh they didn’t that Championship window also it’s always a whole lot smaller than you think guys it is you didn’t is the last thing I will say let’s go back to the 2021 NBA draft Nicks were on the clock at pick number 11 do you remember what they did they traded out of the draft they got three future protected first round picks let’s stop stop overreacting to the number of first round picks in the trade because 99% of Nicks fans were upset that the Knicks traded one first round pick for three protected first round picks meaning your three first round picks that you have that are protected really only equal one first round pick yeah you can’t have it both ways you can’t say oh we can’t give up that many picks and then on this side say well we why did we trade one good pick for three bad picks that’s the end of my TED talk we’ll see you later peace

Ian Begley (SNY) on the Knicks Offseason Plans:
They have enough draft capital to make an aggressive offer for a top player. If there is a player who they believe fits their team, they will make a strong push for that player. You saw it in the 2022 offseason with Donovan Mitchell. I don’t think their stance on pursuing a star is any different today than it was then. If I had to guess about this offseason, I’d say that the Knicks re-sign Isaiah Hartenstein and OG Anunoby and dangle at least one of their 2024 first-round draft picks in trade packages for a star player as the draft approaches.

No LeBron
I’d pick kd before James
We don’t want LBJ he is a organization killer
Are you smoking drugs? You don’t care who was hurt? You sound crazy bro
Jalen Brunson plays defense. He’s just not great at it 😂 Lebron doesn’t even move on defense lately. That being said, Lebron for a Vet minimum is an absolute YES.
Do the Giannis deal=🏆
No lebron man.. low views for talking about bringing him over.. he ain’t want us before why should the Knicks want him?
If we add lebron…will it be LeBron or Jalen team…
Getting bron on the vet minimum would be amazing. He is supposedly known for getting coaches fired but we need that extra edge to get us to thr finals to get that championship. Whoever we get better come in and give us 20 to 25+ daily.
Some of our fans who would not want BRONNY and his pops in Blue/Orange!
“ Cocaine is a helluva drug”
– Rick James
LeBron would make the knicks a championship team… but I hate to see LeBron trying to take credit for the knicks winning a championship. But they would be the best team in the NBA on paper with championship or bust expectations.
Jackson….
NO Lebron would make it all about him….Durant already told us how he feels about NY and NY fans so no absolutely not…
and they still lost…
LeBum James.
Don't need lebron or k d lebron do as the Knicks for miami and k d continues to d is Knicks ….but snoop is who we need
A
just got a good coach fired…
giannis contract too big. also not gonna age well
Julius Randle does play defense you dummy!
Rj
I actually know KD, I would love it if he was a New York Knick. He would be a great addition.
Lebum will suck the life out of the team and kill the coach in the process! Great job ruining a great thing we had going
Marsh get off lebums nuts please
I'll switch to being a Boston fan he joins our squad
Aint not lie lol F lebum. He can go down as the baby goat for all i care lol dont want him. You chasing a championship harder than the knicks right now bro 😂
You do that Giannis deal every time
Jamal Murray was the pick swap we gave up in the Melo trade.
