NBA Insider WARNS Knicks Not To Overpay For OG Anunoby… (TKR Live) | Knicks News

just going into really the next topic here uh is just going to be about ogn and Obi because you sent out a tweet so you mentioned the Tweet here saying uh resigning OG was likely because Leon’s son is one of his CA agents OG Miss stretch of 27 of 30 regular season games due to injury then almost all of the second round is he in good enough shape availability and uh durability skill set wise and then you hashtagged it as how you so I just wanted to know um what is the how you movement that you’ve been doing because I’ve seen it and uh and also just your thoughts about OG and anobi if he’s going to resign because again the the thought about it is that he’s likely going to resign for about 35 to 40 million annually and uh that would be a lot of money to give to a player as you mentioned a couple of times has missed a lot of Chunk in time when the games matter so I do want to get a little bit more information from you just regarding your thoughts on OG and Obi will you think he’s going to resign with the Knicks and uh what do you think that price Point’s going to be right so everything about OG is durability in my opinion he’s a fine fit obviously their record was outstanding with him he doesn’t need the ball when he gets the ball he hits the open three obviously he’s a great team Defender help Defender he’s got that position that they’ve been missing they traded for cam reddish thinking that could be that fit that uh combo forward small forward power forward uh but it’s about durability he hasn’t played 70 games since his rookie year uh with with the Raptors and I think messiri finally decided it’s time to move on the guy has been injured a lot and then he comes to New York and sure enough elbow injury and then the hamstring and that tweet about is he in good enough shape that’s something I heard uh I heard that maybe he hasn’t been in the best shape wow uh during his career and that’s possibly why he’s been injury prone Steph Bondi my successor at the New York Post had a a nice piece uh during late in the season he doesn’t like to play hurt he came out for that game seven against Indiana he had a couple of shots but he wasn’t he was so tentative Tibido just could not play him he played four or five minutes and that was it he he wasn’t willing to test his hamstring I think he was afraid of seriously injuring the hamstring again but it was game seven uh so they couldn’t play well listen if it wasn’t for Leon’s son I think the Knicks would have a very tough decision on how much to give this guy when he’s been so injury prone he’s a very good fit but is he a third best player on a NBA Finals team I mean durability wise I’d say he’s not the third best player because he if he’s not available then what good is he but he happens to be a great fit and with Leon Rose and CIA and they run the Knicks I think he’ll get his 35 million I don’t think he’s worth it I think it’s a big risk and I do believe and I think maybe Fred reported it and I was thinking it for sure that that contract better have a lot of incentives regarding games played right I mean that has to be I feel that to get his full 30 million a year it’s got to be 70 games and listen he’s never had a full season with Tibido who will play you major minutes and that’s why I feel that if you sign OG and even with Josh Hart finally breaking down you have to talk to Tibido and set up a new plan on minutes management my biggest pet peeve when I covered Tibido was why is he having these guys in the game when they’re up 20 points with five minutes left give them a break February in Detroit if you blow the lead with your bench in Detroit in February right well it’s a loss and you deserve to lose he’s got to manage these guys minutes better it’s a marathon not a Sprint ogi will get his money I think that sixer story was a plant by CAA to show James Dolan hey you’re not bidding against yourselves there is another team out there with cap space that would give OG at least 30 million you know the thing with OG and OB and I agree I’ve always had a difficult time pegging his value just because of the availability because I always think that’s such a crucial Factor because I can say the same thing about Joel embi Superstar MVP level player but then when the chips are down and you need them the most what level of player are you going to get and that’s the concern I think anytime you pay somebody like that I did hear uh Fred Katz uh Bondi and also Bagley all of the guys basically report on the fact that they’re looking to put some type of incentive into the contract to hopefully prevent from the injuries but again when you have to include those type of incentives into a contract that also determines the worth and value of the contract so I am very interested to see what he’s going to get but the fact that Sam Rose is his agent I think he’s going to get very well paid maybe not overpaid but definitely a little bit more than maybe other teams may have thought about paying him the Knicks right now they used to be the team that had to go out to get every Star but given the fact what they’re building when healthy I think they’re being more selective with the star that they want to add they want to add the right piece the right fit to your point somebody who is durable that can last a lot that’s why for me pit wise Mikel Bridges is the target I want the Knicks to look at he’s also not realistic because you have a GM in Shawn marks in uh in um what do you call in Brooklyn who really doesn’t know what he’s doing over there the Nets owner says that he wants to basically start a new he wants to slowly rebuild have a contender for the future and then you have reports coming out saying Shawn Marx wants to build around Mel Bridges which I think is a huge mistake he’s not this the player you build around and then have a start to attract to Brooklyn to play with them so I understand that the Mel Bridges trade is probably as least likely as the KD trade is right now but if they both were available do you think that Mikel Bridges offers the better fit and long-term option or would it still be KD for you in that situation to win one Championship it’s KD but getting to Macau Jos Sai is not handing bridges over to the next right it it’s franchise suicide I know they’ve made a lot of bad Maneuvers but I mean I just cannot imagine the Nets giving the Knicks Bridges and it would be a great chemistry fit I think because of the three Nova guys and I listen the three Nova guys is a terrific Trio uh but I think you need a little more upside to go to a championship than Macau brings he he’s he’s a great Nova guy and he’s going to fit in very well but does he make you a champion and I’m not sure he makes you a champion uh but the the bigger point is I can’t imagine Sai giving him to the Micks and Jaylen and there was a funny social media post obviously by Bridges the other day why don’t you come to the Nets right and Josh had resp Josh responds are they holding you hostage yeah um yeah listen listen I want the Knicks to build around those three Nova guys just don’t think that a fourth is gonna is GNA happen but I’ll tell you Josh Hart and Jaylen and Dante it was a joy to watch them the chemistry the back cuts and they know where each other is on the floor I mean it was a watching that some of that run when they were playing at their best it it was really a joy I’ll tell you the chemistry and the grit and I hope I mean those three will be back right but to win a championship you need more if you

  1. I disagree that bridges won’t make us a championship team I think he certainly puts us in a situation to fully challenge the celtics

  2. The Nets will not do business with the Knicks. That's why the Knicks need to go after guy like Murry or Brendon Ingram strong possibility

  3. These guys are full of it… rant about og getting a massive deal and then says Knicks not overpay… so he walks … and we get burned on that trade

  4. OG 'not in shape' seems crazy to anyone that has seen his strength, speed, athleticism on display much less his actual physique… but maybe he does need to make some amendments to his exercise, flexibility, recovery, and/or nutrition regimen… Like Giancarlo Stanton.

  5. Here we go again! What is wrong with this organization? They will never learn. With all the money that this organization wastes, they are supposed to overpay for OG. The Knicks are major players now. You spend to win now! You conserve money/don't overpay when you're not in contention. The Knicks are in contention. They must do everything they can to stay in contention and win a championship. This dumb organization listened to insiders and let Jeremy Lin sign with Houston. That was a major setback. The Knicks let Xavier McDaniel leave the Knicks in favor of non-intimidating Charles Smith. What did that get them? Winning the first two games against the Bulls followed by losing 4 straight. What is wrong with this organization! You overpay to keep OG!!!!!

  6. OG trade was great because IQ was not coming back and RJ is not that good, So the Knicks as money to spend, can't may this guy James Dolan as to involve right now

  7. I would overpay for OG any day. I expect OG to cut the Knicks a break given his injury history. He is a team player and a professional. He plays with heart like Josh hart.

  8. Minutes management comment is right on . Use the bench during the season . OG, Randle, and Robinson should see about 24 minutes a game and never back to back .
