the New York Knicks we’re going to break down these latest reports and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and now let’s get started the Knicks are interested in Utah Jazz Allstar lri marinan it may not be the offseason just yet but we’re getting that offseason reporting the Knicks being interested in lri Markin feels like something inevitable each and every off season it seems like the Knicks go all the way back to the well of Danny a and the Utah Jazz trying to get some type of player from there to add to their roster at one point it was Donovan Mitchell another point it was another player and now it seems like all eyes are locked in and focused on lri marinan and his situation with the Utah Jazz now I don’t know if he’s going to be available for trade that’s going to be up to Danny a but if he does become available for trade he is going to have a number of suitors waiting to trade for him one of those teams according to an NBA executive is the New York Knicks let’s break down these latest reports about marinan and the teams interested in trading for him according to the heavy.com they reported that Lori marinin could fill a key role for the Knicks so much so that one executive tabed him as a dream Target for New York according to that executive there are a few teams that when you look at it he is going to be their dream Target the Lakers you get a guy like him with Anthony Davis and that’s perfect for both guys the Knicks would love to get a hold of him the heat again put him with bam out of bio and that is the paer you want to build around you can send Jimmy Butler wherever he wants just the floor spacing aspect of it it’s so valuable he could make things easier on your stars it’s very easy to understand why the Knicks May hold Lori marking as one of their dream targets because of his fit his size his ability to space the floor but also his ability to break down the defense he can score in the mid-range he can score from the three and because of his size Defenders that try to guard him are going to have a very tough time they’re not going to be able to do so very easily and even when they do he has a very high basketball IQ where he can pass out of it and make sure somebody else gets open gets the ball and they can make a shot we we’ve seen it in his time with Utah his game has gotten better and better each and every year and if the Knicks were going to Target an Allstar to go out and get to make sure they fit this team and fit what we’re trying to build in the future he would be a key piece a key player to add to this team the only reason I really don’t mention him a lot is because he plays for the Utah Jazz and that means the Knicks are likely going to have to deal with Danny a and we know how that story goes no matter who the player is that’s a aable if the Knicks call for that player and try to trade for that player Danny a will ask for the farm from the Knicks if it’s another team he might treat them fairly but for whatever the reason may be Leon Rose and the Knicks Danny AES and the Utah Jazz whenever they do business together it just doesn’t work one side asks for way too much and talks just fall apart and they break down that’s exactly what happened with Donovan Mitchell and I would think that if the Knicks went after lri marinin the exact same thing would happen as well because let’s say that the Utah Jazz did make lri Markin available for a trade the next thing you got to consider is the cost what would be the cost for the Knicks to trade for lri marinin if you were thinking it was going to cost a lot of picks you would be absolutely right but it’s also going to cost you something else a piece of the core Julius Randall according to the heavy.com the Knicks could not go into the 2024 2025 season with both Randall and marinin on the roster the Knicks would love to get lri in there with OG and Brunson he is a better fit for them than Randall is because of the shooting that’s according to the NBA executive if they could swap Randall for marinan then cough up a lot of first rounders five or six you’d have to think you might get Danny a on board but they don’t want Randall in Utah so it has to be picks and this is why the lry marketing trade is considered a dream because that cost is absolutely insane not only do you have to give up Julius Randall who’s already a three-time Allstar already a player that gives you Superstar like numbers and if you compare his numbers to lri marinin it’s actually comparable they both have comparable numbers but even though that’s the case the Nick even though they want lii would have to give up several first round picks likely unprotected they would not want any of our protected picks that we have from other teams they would want our picks in any type of lari Markin in trade because if you know Danny a that’s the type of guy he is and that’s the type of picks that he wants and there’s no in between and that’s why deals fall apart because a asks for this and then the Knicks want to negotiate say well we can’t do this we can do this or this or that and a shuts it all down and he continues to ask for only what he wants regardless of anything else regardless of negociation or anything like that he doesn’t care he just wants to get the most out of any deal he makes with any team regardless of who that is but sometimes I feel if that team on the other end of the line is the Knicks he just has a little bit more pleasure in asking for more asking for the farm and hoping that the Knicks say yes and he can get a hall a steal for any player the Knicks want lri marinan is a great player amazing fit I would love the Knicks to Target him to go after him and to trade for him but if they did that they would have to give up Randall now I wouldn’t be against the trade if it was a Randall fi Markin and swap because if that was the case I think the Knicks would come out ahead and eventually they would be the better team because Lori would get chemistry with this team and once he gains that this Nick would be even more dangerous but that’s not what we’re talking about here we’re not talking about a swap in fact we just heard Utah doesn’t even want Randall so if they took on Randall it would just be because they want to help facilitate the trade to get lri to New York but if they did that they want to be compensated and the way they want to be compensated is with first round picks and according to this NBA executive it might take five or six to get Danny AES in the room to listen who who knows if that’s what it’s going to take to complete the trade he might ask for Duce McBride he might ask for a couple of these other players we don’t know exactly but Danny a he is very sneaky he wants to take as many assets as possible in any trade that he makes with any team so you have to be careful when you make a move with him because it’s Danny a because of the potential cost in order to get marting on your roster I don’t think the Knicks are going to be making this deal now clearly they’re interested and clearly they’re looking at Utah to see what’s going on with Lori marinin and his situation there but even though they’re showing a level of interest in marketing it doesn’t mean they’re going to be trading for him they’re likely doing their due diligence to understand the value of stars all star and Superstars around the league that way come this off season Once they understand the full list of disgruntled Stars around the league they understand what their values are going to be and potentially what they’re going to have to give up to get that player on this team but this off season is going to be different from any other offseason that Knicks have experienced and it’s for a number of reasons one reason is because the Knicks went all the way to the Eastern Conference semifinals game seven in their house with a hobble team they got to the second seat of the Eastern Conference and their roster was dealing with a number of injuries you saw Jaylen Brunson turn into a superstar and the Knicks have all the assets needed to pull off a major trade this off season that’s why it’s something to watch and the Knicks don’t have to go after each and every Star that becomes available they have the luxury of going after the right star that fits the star that fits what we’re looking to build now and in the future and because we’re in that position the Knicks hold a lot of Leverage and a lot of power because fully healthy right now this Knicks team probably can make a case to go all the way to the NBA finals without adding anybody if they make the right additions this off season you’re talking about locking in that status of being an NBA Finals contending team each and every year for many many years if you make the right upgrades Leon Rose in this Nicks front office I believe in them I trust them I know they’re going to make the right upgrades I hope and pray that upgrade could be lri marinan but unfortunately just because of the cost I can’t see the Knicks in Utah doing business together but I couldn’t see the Knicks and Toronto doing business together either and Leon Rose worked magic and he got a deal done maybe he can do the same thing with the Utah Jazz this off season but I won’t be holding my breath for that lri makes sense he’s an incredible player and an amazing fit for this team but I just don’t see it happening because we have to deal with Danny a and dealing with Danny a means any deal you want to do will die there because he’s not doing any of those deals only the deals that benefit him and the Utah Jazz and those deals just aren’t fear for anybody but what about you guys what do you think about these latest reports about Lori marinan and the Nicks potentially being interested in trying to get him on the roster 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

We may be a few weeks away from the offseason, but that isn’t stopping the offseason reports from coming in. An NBA Executive confirms that several teams are watching the Utah Jazz and his situation with Utah. He named several teams including the New York Knicks. NY being interested is an All-Star the caliber of Markkanen is no surprise. In terms of skill set, fit, age timeline and more, he would be a great fit on this team. Unfortunately, when dealing with Danny Ainge in Utah, the cost of making such a trade will be astronomical. And reports on the situation do confirm that the Knicks would have to trade THE FARM to get the Jazz All-Star on this team… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!
