Deandre Ayton To NY Reports CONTINUE HEATING UP… | Knicks News
The New York Knicks at this point have been linked to nearly every center in the league or at least it feels that way. From Utah’s Walker Kessler, to Washington’s Jonas Valanciunas, Detroit’s Jalen Duren, NY has been linked to all of these players and more heading into the trade deadline. The main reason is their lack of depth at the center position and reports indicating that the Knicks are still actively seeking a backup center. Now we can add another name to the Knicks trade targets per NBA Insider Steph Bondy, Deandre Ayton. Bondy helps to explain why Ayton could be available and why NY could be interested… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

I want him what they want
Please let this happen. Im a Knick fan in the offseason because i love to laugh. Probably a planted rumor to gain leverage on a good big trade… Still kinda funny.
I don't see the NY Knicks trading for DeAndre Ayton. Time will tell though.
Ayton is not going to work. Robert Williams III fits better.
Am not to high on Aton he is very inconsistent and his contract hell no
Kessler or the center from Charlotte
Kessler or the center from Charlotte
Do a video on why Thibs and coaching staff let Dmytro Skapnitsev go and drop the ball on him and why he was not wanted or fit with NYKs??????? Now they are scrambling for a C when Skapnitsev was right in front of their eyes where they did not need to leave a big void at the back up 5
Nahhhhh we ain’t gutting nothing they can keep him
Like I said before, the only backup centers I'm interested in are Walker Kessler,Jalen Duren, Bismack Biyombo, Davis Bertans, or Orlando Robinson those names in that order…
🔶️ 🔷️ 🏀 🗽
STOP MENTIONING JULIUS !!!!! These rumors are stupid!!!
Now this makes sense
Salaries don’t match.
Btw, Joel Embiid's career avg in games ag Walker Kessler is 44.5 pts, 9.0 rebs and 5.0 assists per game …
Kessler is a pipe dream. The cost is too high. The Knicks will go after Jonas Valanciunas with the Wizard’s pick.
Ayton is like a cherry ‘67 Mustang without a motor! He makes Joe Barry Carroll look like a coffee achiever!
These Rumors killing my vibe 😣😣😣
Keep them coming. I enjoy the possibilities. Doing a good job.
Kessler or goga bitadize best option.
I'd rather work with what we have, and train up our pick Hakporti, with an eye on Lassort in Europe if we need him.
Just leave Ju alone please 🙏 is going to be so easy for him this year !! The only player in history with a 20/10/5 and still not enough !! He will shut some big mouths for sure this year !!
I also heard the knicks reached out to Patrick Ewing for a one year deal how cool would that be for Pat to suit up again😎
Not happening, and he also makes too much $. You are becoming the king of Knicks clickbait
Couldnt Mitchell and some maneuvers open things up. Like a third team
Kessler for Duce
Insanity… Ayton is absolutely trash!!! Soft as tissue, NO. HARD NO.
I think a more interesting video would be of a center being made available for trade who would NOT be on the Knicks radar.
Rumors Rumors Rumors when are the Knicks are going to get a center…this being going on for ever..cum on son
Ayton doesn't fit the rebuilding Trailblazers they have young Centers already robert Williams fitsca bit more but he's injury prone but they have backup Centers that can start right away and Ayton fits with the Knicks right now and he can play both Defense and Offence
Sims and precious for DeAndre Ayton
But yes Walker K is better younger hopefully cheaper is a center we can develop to be as good or better than hearteinstein definitely younger
NO
NO
NOOOOO
The issue is the contract. How does the Knicks come up with $33 million to match the contract?
Mid level exception at $5.5 million
$6 million of Precious
$15 million of Robinson and Deuce? And fillers? Can this do the job?
Might as well get Robin Williams as well for back up center
