Jericho Sims Trade Incoming? Knicks Have NO CONFIDENCE In Sims As Backup… | Knicks News
The New York Knicks continue their diligent search for a backup center to Mitchell Robinson. They have been searching for weeks on the trade market but have been unsuccessful in getting a deal done. However, after reports on Jericho Sims were released, it’s clear that NY will continue their search for a backup as they have no confidence in Sims for that role. Reports indicate that NY only views Sims as an emergency backup player, which could mean he could be included in a trade for an impactful backup… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Jericho Sims needs to cut his hair. Discipline starts with self esteem. He’s been with Knicks the last 3-4 years and there has been no translation of improvements or an asset deem untouchable. He has sat at end of bench to only become cheerleader not important piece to championship. Rebounding, rim protection, shot blocking, defense, close range jumpers, FTs, etc has to improve so he can be that reliable back up C nite in nite out. At almost 26 yrs old, he should be at his best in prime years not laid back. Surprised coaching staff and FO did not waive him. If he became that reliable back up C, Knicks would not have to look in market to trade for one. Should play Skapintsev and Hukaporti ahead more to pressure Sims to improve his game or trade/waive him. Emergency back up C and not a legitimate backup C is pretty pathetic if your in the league for 3-4 years at 25 years old turning 26 in few more months
EMERGENCY SITUATIONS……………"SEE" TAJ GIBSON !!! Taj played before Jericho!!!! But you sure as hell cannot develop if you can't get court time……..We see what Deuce did after Quick was traded. On THIS TEAM, Jericho does not need to do anything but rebound and defend. Let the kid play and see what he can do!!!! You cannot have a star everywhere……damn!!!!!
He’s not a legitimate back up at all. We cannot depend on him. He plays too inconsistent. Sure he’s been working on his game, which is great, but how much has it really improved? Do you know?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Every fukkin day, another trade scenario. At this rate, you would have traded the whole team away.
No one seems to be listening. SIMS DOES NOT HAVE TO BE THE BACK UP CENTER FOR MITCH BECAUSE SIMS CAN ALSO PLAY THE 4. PLAY HIM AT THE 4 SPOT. Sims is fast, and strong, and he can put the ball on the floor and create his own shot. What the Knicks should do is get an all star back up center from overseas. That way they would not have to get rid of anyone on the roster, and not have to spend or overspend a ton of money to get him. No one on this team should be traded. I said that and Alan Hahn repeated the same thing that he wouldn't trade anyone. The Knicks NEED to develope their players AND let them use their new skills in actual games. Randle does this to himself and STAT did this to himself and both men have and have had phenomenal success as a result and are all stars. Why doesn't this organization seem not to want to develope their players? Making trades is not always the answer and it is not the answer now. These men have chemistry as a result of the success of the season that just ended. They blew out really good teams such as the nuggets, and were in deep for some of those games and in most of those games they came out victorious. Guys stepped up when others were injured and contributed nicely. That bonds players together, combined with the contagious NEVER-SAY-QUIT attitude and all star play style of Brunson and Randle, which I believe helped to elevate other players' game, and you want to break up the team by trading some of these guys? That is not the answer. You need someone in the front office who can see the potential in players rather than simply looking at the obvious. That is something that is a gift. The front office and coaching staff seem not to have it.
Precious Achiuwa needs a jump shot from 15 feet out. Help him develope that.
Mitch has the strength and the speed. All he needs is post moves such as backing down his defender coupled with spinning (watch film on Stoudemire after he trained with Olajuwon FOR ONLY 2 WEEKS) and have him practice those moves. Help him develope that.
Bring in a retired all star point guard and have him train McBride to further his skills. You know why Raymond Felton was big time and clutch for a good part of the 2013 season? It was because he had Jason Kidd in his ear directing him in actual games. REPEAT THOSE SUCCESSES FOR THESE PLAYERS AND DEVELOPE THEM NOW INSTEAD OF DOING NOTHING AND TRADING THEM. The players have a responsibility, but the organization and the front office also have a responsibility to the players and to the fans. That is how they fulfill that responsibility. FULFILL IT.
Jerico Simms needs to be traded. All of analysts recommended to take vacation until September, 1. Everybody is already tired of these useless conversations regarding Knicks center backup.
Sims has always been a 3rd string Center or only used in emergency situations. This is nothing new 😂😂
To the person who said that they let Ihart go does not know anything about the game of basketball. The knicks can only give him so much money by the rules of the NBA so they did not let iHeart go. He decided that he wanted to get more money than the Knicks could offer him so know your facts before you make a comment.
Simms reminds me Kevin Knock low motor no self motivation
They just got Bryant as a coach for ths bigs. Maybe its for Sims and those 2 good G league centers we have.
Dmitro Skapintsev is much better than Jerico Simms.
Why they didn't let Sims learn in the G League
OMG…….LET THE YOUNG MAN AT LEAST START THE SEASON…..HE EILL EIRHER GET IT OR HE WONT……you still have trade deadlines where you can make moves…..Let Master Chef Leon Cook….If The Knicks have to "Depend" on Sims right away…..then They are nowhere near contending 4 a Title !!!!…..Stop Trading everyone……This includes Randle…..We have a great Team….Let them play !!!!!!……Knick Fan since '69 '70
Hi Troy, nice update! Let’s Go Knicks!🏀
He's going turn into a Duran who I want on the squad. He's bouncy and strong. Why isn't he better yet??
We need 2 bags who can play full court fast and half court back down. They need both of them. Trade simms ans mitch and picks for 2 bags in separate moves. Stupid all the picks for bridges
Sims has zero trade value. Why would a team want Precious in a sign and trade when they can just sign him themselves. Why didn't the front office try to move up in the draft where there were some decent center prospects instead of giving away picks. All these trade scenarios are ridiculous.
So sign precious, what are they waiting for, somebody else to sign him for money the knicks don't want to spend ! Smh
What depth will knicks have if they trade achuiwa and Jehrico sims?knicks has 2 other developing centers no need to trade sims snd achuiwa for one that might not work out or fit
Here it is we are scrambling to find a Center and its Fact that THIBS didn't know what he had in IHART until he was Forced to play him. Had he known by playing him earlier in the Season they Could have Extended and IHART was promised a chance to Expand his skills and Role. THIBS is so Stubborn he can't get out of his own way
I got no problem with Sims being Traded but we saw last year in several times Sims was not going to Work out but Even Stevie Wonder could see that but THIBS being so stubborn thinking something great was going materialize out of Sims while there was excellent centers out there
Ok, Troy. You talked about a major trade involving JS, but you didn't mention who the Knicks were getting
You made it sound as if they were making a trade when all you did was state the obvious. Not one of the statements you made were new news to anyone.
Every time I get ready to give one of you no frills NY Knicks channels a shot to see if I want to subscribe, you fail miserably
🧢
Let the boy play see what he can do he know he got step up
Keep that same energy for when they bring back Ryan Arcidiacono
If the Knicks don't value SIms, why would any other team want him. Maybe as a salary filler?
What's the since in hiring a big man coach when u trading them away from his is only click bait and dog ur wack it only takes 3mins to say what your 🦜 ng wack 😂
Trade him n watch that comes back to hurt us h cuz he gonna be a treat later
We're gonna risk being outsized again if we don't get someone who is at least like 7'1, and we need Precious to back up whoever THAT is, and Mitchell Robinson. Knicks looking really scramble-y right now in their rush to get a center post Ihart.
Salute Troy! Great report! I still say bring up da 7’1” Ukrainian n resign Precious! Call it a day! IJS
We have two rookie bigs one 6’11” the other 7’1” that we just need to develop. I hope we keep what we have. We had Duren and we traded him.
Sims is hot garbage i been saying that i definitely won't miss him.
I'm hoping they trade Mitchell Robinson I'm not trying to find a backup for him we need an upgrade at his position!
Must question his sources about Sims because nobody's knows what Thibs or the front office is thinking, so if it's not coming from them, don't even acknowledge what's being said by those talking heads who's just making shit up.😮
I clicked for "…and so much more todaaaay!" 😂😂
Don't get rid of Jericho sims give him chance .Knicks lose a lot of good players when it comes to trading
He needs to work out with someone like Hakeem olajawon , but he's gonna come back and burn us like so many others. . Who were knicks but no more…
