heard Ainge wants Mitch plus Deuce and 4 second round picks for kessler
Been hearing about this for a long time Ainge isn't gonna give him up so that we can be better than his former Celtics
Mike Conley is in Minnesota
We need to trade for Walker Kesler right now
Ainge will fleece the knicks…we need to move on. At this point, we better off by keeping our depth.
Enough of this Walker Kessler rumor, Ainge needs to poop or get off the pot
The trade package ainge wanted for DM eventually resulted in the awesome team we have now. The knicks now have 7 above average NBA players vs just one (DM). We won the trade we never made. Mind you OG and Bridges are part of these 7 players—they are not just average!!!
Kessler is a perfect fit for our current and future needs.
They are loaded with C’s, so could something like this work for a trade?
Dadiet(essentially an already picked 1st rounder), Bates-Diop, a 1st pick, and a couple 2nd round picks.
For Kessler??
Honestly, I’d even do McBride and a few 2nds for Kessler.
I’d hate to part with McBride but he is kinda buried on the depth chart at both the PG and SG.
Considering our needs, I’d def still make that move
I love McBride, but right now and the next season or two…
Kessler is more valuable to this roster..
Honestly I'll take Kessler over Mitch due to his health issues I like Mitch the only advantage he has is defensively but with Thibbs can help him work on that . Truthfully Thibbs is the center whisper.
The Knicks do not have a "hole" at backup center. While Achiuwa and Sims might not be ideal, they proved that they were at least servicable last year. If Robinson is healthy, the Knicks will be fine. There is no need to panic and overpay for someone like Kessler.
Total fan , but I'll tell you the Knicks look damn good this season ✌️
1) Utah likes Kessler. The issue is that Hardy prefers bigs that can stretch. Hence the Collins trade (which caused the friction btwn WK and Utah in the first place), and the Filipowski pick. Collins isn’t a fit, however, bc he has minimal defensive ability as a 5. And Filipowski is a rookie. So Utah will not trade WK, unless they get what they want. They will just let him be the defensive force and finisher, that he thrives at being. And maybe he learns a thing or two from Eubanks.
2) Utah is tanking. Ainge will have no interest in Deuce, unless it ends up being a 3 team deal, where the 3rd team wants Deuce.
3) The Knicks likely offered their two protected 1sts (Wash and Det), which, understandably, didn’t move the needle for Utah.
4) Since Utah is tanking, I would think that Dadiet, Kolek, and picks have the most value to them.
if we trade deuce we could add dsmith jr for defense and put kolek in gleague
Ainge wants deuce, but the money has to work
You don’t know ball for shit. Kolek is out backup PG deuce is an undersized sg…deuce can’t create a shot for others, we have Donte and j hart as backup shooting guards, also deuces contract is gonna expire and we will have to give him a real contract or he’s gone. TRADE DEUCE. It’s not a hard decision at all
DHayes does not want to trade Kessler
They want Deuce and we not gonna give him up fk DH let’s go Knicks and JS may surprise us and ball out
Vet minimum melo trade Randell & pick the best fit center
I’m with you I rather give the picks and Kolek but remember we need to send out more money than we take in
Utah jazz using the Knicks to get more out of Pelicans
Rose moves quick if this were true would have happened already
Stop wasting time Leon get this guy he's a winner
Cam Payne is TRASH 🗑️🗑️🗑️
We don’t have 2 first round picks. We have 2 protected picks that are almost 100% going to convert to 2nd Rd picks. Anything Danny Ainge wanted from us, we traded to Brooklyn for Bridges. Maybe if we got control of his mind, we could get him to trade with us.
That's all I hear oh the knicks are in the radar for Kessler yo make the deal already is eigther we get him or not trade Jericho Sims and first pick and second round that's it the set the deal if that's not much we'll put in Mcbride in the deal or cam Payton
lol 😂 ain’t happening
