Knicks trade reports ESCALATING… – Knicks LINKED to MULTIPLE Jazz Players

The New York Knicks plans for the trade deadline may have been revealed as there have been reports from Michael a scato that the Knicks really want to acquire both Jordan Clarkson and Kelly oin and they have had discussions with the Utah Jazz surrounding this so what’s up guys

Welcome back to Nick’s digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to jump right into the video as we always do because we got more trade talks considering the deadline is now officially this week it is Sunday the week has begun welcome a deadline week everybody I know we’ve

Done a lot of trade talks and now we hit the finale so let’s break this whole thing down most trade rumors surrounding the Utah Jazz continue to be centered around Kelly o linck and Jordan Clarkson according to Michael Scot of USA Today sports claiming the Jazz claiming the

Pair of jazz veterans are garnering interest from the New York Knicks as Scot said the Knicks are the Knicks also register trade interest in Utah’s Jordan Clarkson and Kelly Ock earlier in January League sources told Hoops hype now this happens a lot the teams will inquire about players and then wait a

Little bit then go back once they decide it’s time to strike while the iron’s hot the iron is boiling hot for the Knicks yes they did lose and the nine game winning streak is over as LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers came in and beat Jaylen Brunson Dante D venzo Isaiah

Hardenstein and the and the Westchester Knicks is what it is it’s okay it’s one loss the Knicks have been great who cares you win some you lose some when you’re the Knicks you’re winning most of them but obviously there is a problem at hand and that is that the Knicks bench

Surely is not perfect is it good yes is it way better than I’ve given it credit for totally but there’s still a lack of shot creation within the New York Knicks is an entire team not just the not just the bench Jaylen brunson’s one of the best shot creators in the NBA Julius

Randle can create for himself Brunson and Randle can both also create for others Dante d venzo as far as a three-point shooter goes he can really create for himself too but outside of that there’s not that much shot creation on the Knicks roster and they’re going

To need to change that because we saw Brunson get constantly double teamed against the Los Angeles Lakers and guess what teams are going to keep doing that especially when randle’s not here and even when Randle comes back come the playoffs Brunson is going to get double

Teamed a lot the Knicks are going to need other guys to be able to create their own shots for when Brunson is forced to give the ball up I’m going to let you guys in on a horribly kept secret that every team that the Knicks face in the playoffs depending on how

Far they go they could lose in the first round though that would be a massive disappointment or they could go as far as the Conference Finals or maybe even the NBA Finals the Knicks have been remarkable can’t count them out every team is basically going to have the same defensive game plan which

Is going to be centered around Jaylen Brunson and making him give the ball up do not let Brun and beat you let the rest of the Knicks beat you that is what they’re going to do I don’t know what teams it’s going to be it’s going to be

More effective with some teams that have the Personnel to do that and then other teams there might be a little bit of a struggle but that is going to be the game plan so acquiring someone for instance like a Jordan Clarkson could be very helpful for the Knicks as it gives

Them more shy creation and it gives them a shy Creator Off the Bench who can give Brunson a much needed break during the regular season I mean last night I understand that game had a playoff feel had an NBA Finals field that was an electric game last night obviously the

Knicks did not come out on top but the garden was so loud the Nicks fans were going crazy it was Knicks Lakers LeBron on the Lakers the Knicks have a superstar in Brunson that was one hell of a game last night and very clearly Brunson can handle himself in the big

Moments as he had 36 points 10 assists and seven rebounds so obviously he bowled out as he always does he is a superstar after all it’s what superstars do but he played 45 minutes man and I understand that that’s an exception nationally televised Nicks Lakers LeBron versus Jaylen Brunson really really big

Implications for that game but at the end of the day on a regular Tuesday night if Jaylen Bronson is playing some random NBA for instance the Portland Trailblazers who are right there at the bottom of your screen he shouldn’t be playing near 40 minutes at all he should

Probably maxing out around 35 minutes it just doesn’t make sense to overplay Brunson in the regular season and burn him out and we know that tibs has a history of doing that to players now Scotto talked about Jordan Clarkson and then also what an NBA Scout told Hoops

Hype is that whatever team can get Clarkson will be a game changer I think he’s one of the best or the best volume scorer available on the trade market Clarkson the 2020 to 216 man of the year begin the season as a starter for 19 games and has since come off the bench

And also Kelly o linck has drawn interest from various teams across the league sources say and is considered Utah’s top trade candidate ahead of the deadline by rival Executives as he prepares to enter unrestricted free agency this summer so look Clarkson is not my first pick my first pick would be

Malcolm brogon I like the idea of Jordan Clarkson Because it gives the Knicks a real shot Creator Off the Bench there’s sort of a J.R Smith Essence to Jordan Clarkson and I say that with all the positivity in the world J.R Smith is beloved by New York and I don’t know how

Active you guys are on Nick’s Twitter I I’m going to guess it varies because I’m talking to u a lot of you um and if you guys follow Nick’s memes on Nick’s Twitter first of all if you don’t follow them but um Tommy’s great but like make

Sure or you look at his Twitter because there’s a great post that talks about if you could add one former Nick in their best season to this team but here’s the catch they cannot have been an Allstar that year here who are you picking and so many of the comments said the same

Thing 2012 2013 J.R Smith that’s the guy he would fit perfectly on this team I got to say I could not agree more I could not agree more that 2012 2013 JR Smith would be the perfect role player to add to this Knick’s team now look is

Clarkson playing like Jared Smith no the three-point shooting is not as good the defense is not as good the shot creation pretty similar the playmaking Clarkson’s a lot better of a playmaker they’re not the same player but they have a similar Aura and J.R Smith had an

Aura that was very much needed for a contender he brought it to the Cavs and then the Cavs went to four straight NBA finales and you know that LeBron James trusted J.R Smith so much or J.R would not have been in as much as he was in

The man is so respected I mean LeBron respects the hell of him as he said when giving like his press conference after the 2016 finals just talking about how much Shumpert and Jr meant to the team and how they got them in the Knicks he was from the Knicks he was saying like

Yeah the trade was to get Shumpert and then they said they’re going to throw in JR Smith like you’re going to throw in J.R Smith okay that’s cool with us we’ll take that because people understand how valuable that aura is now the Knicks can kind of get a similarity to that in

Jordan Clarkson also in case you’re wondering and you don’t know Jordan Clarkson one of his vets J.R Smith on the Cleveland Cavaliers so I do think that that could help but also Kelly o linck is an interesting piece also because he gives the Knicks a stretch

Bck like a real stretch big who can play the four but he’s mainly a five it would be interesting it would give the Knicks a little more depth at the big man position which I don’t hate especially because I do believe Kelly o lenck can

Be a backup four yeah he’s tall yeah he kind of Moves Like A Center he’s not the most athletic I don’t really care Al Horford’s playing backup power forward a lot he’s not exactly athletic anymore more because he’s 38 or 37 so I I’d be fine with grabbing c o

Linck getting a big man who could pick and pop who could work in that situation especially if he’s coming with Jordan Clarkson that would be cool to watch gives precious or Jericho Sims whoever we want to roll with as our backup center gives him a little more

Opportunities to cook and get get down low be a Bruiser down there my only concern is the price the price for those two is going to be pretty hefty I don’t think that one first round pick in Quinton Grimes and salary filler AKA Evan forier I don’t think that’s going

To cut it guys I just don’t I don’t think that Danny a is going to give that up I don’t think he he’s willing to take Quinton Grimes Evan forier and one probably protected first round pick for Jordan Clarks and Kelly oen I just don’t

Think he’s GNA do that the Jazz are a good team and Danny a doesn’t like the Knicks there’s the Danny a tax for the New York Knicks we have to be aware of that I think it would cost probably two first rounders and then I’m kind of out

I don’t really want to do that if I’m being honest so it’s kind of conflicting would it work for the Knicks yes but also at the same time do we want to give that much for Kelly o l who is probably going to walk in the off season and

Jordan Clarkson who were really going to use his trade bait in the off season do we really want to do that that’s the question that we got to ask and if we’re willing to do that if you’re on the side of yeah let’s go out let’s do that then

That’s fine I just don’t know if it’s the right move for the Nicks I I just I don’t know I mean let’s just take a look right here according to Scot Nicks Wing Quinton Grimes came up in separate discussions for Clarkson and O linck as Ian Begley has said before Utah is one

Of the teams with interest in Grimes so that helps that the Jazz want Grimes they’ve wanted Grimes since the Donovan Mitchell talks if you guys remember so there’s that but at the same time I don’t exactly know if Quinton Grimes is going to cut it because that

New York Knicks Danny a tax so I think the Knicks have to be very wary now if you can give up Grimes Evan for B one first and even like two second rounders I’d say go for it do that trade I don’t care I’ll take the rental on Calo lck

For a little bit help the Knicks compete now make them look even better use Jordan Clarkson’s contract flip it for a star player using that money along with the seven first round picks that you’re going to have to your name I don’t think it’s such a bad idea personally now if

You take a look at Jordan Clarkson stats Zing 17 and a half points per game will also getting five assists shooting numbers are not good like I’m not I’m not going to sugarcoat it they’re not not good 42% from the field n under 30% from three GH not great not great at all

But the free thr percentage is up so that shows some hope some promise he’s not the best he’s not the best scorer in the world when it comes to efficiency but he is a good player we all know that we know he’s super helpful towards winning teams I could be persuaded I

Just think that Malcolm Brockton is a better fit maybe even an Alec Burks could be a better fit but Burks is not the greatest shot Creator in the world in my mind he’s a spot up shooter and I think there’s a lot more teams other than the Knicks that should value Alec

Burks higher than they do and Kelly o linck shooting almost 43% from three getting a points five rebounds I’m telling you guys also four assists I would love the idea of Kelly oen I think he’d be an awesome fit there’s definitely an obsession that people have

With big men who can shoot threes and I think that it’s a little overblown but also at the same time I do really really like the idea of Kelly oin on the New York Knicks I think it works I think it makes sense I do I think it just gives

The Knicks more depth at the four you play Kelly o Lin’s power forward you can get away with it 17 minutes off the bench great shooting Nick’s bench gets more shooting they get a guy who could score the ball I mean when Kelly o l was

Kind of a first scoring option on the Rockets he averaged 19 points per game shot over 40% from three shot over 50% from the field short was a small volume I believe it was only 20 to 30 Games somewhere around that he got traded at the deadline but look it is something

Very interesting that could be taken a chance on but here is the thing with Kelly oen over the last five games precious Chua has average 10 and a half points nine rebounds and one and a half blocks per game he’s been having a really really good stretch it feels like

The Knicks have unlocked precious aoua so do they want to potentially hinder his development in the process when we’re pretty sure Mitchell Robinson’s coming back that’s the question you got to ask yourself and I don’t think there’s a right answer I don’t I think you could kind of sign either way I

Think this trade it’s depends on the price for me and the price dictates the answer of the question and that’s just really the only way that you could look at this comment down below if you disagree comment down below if you just like no do this trade if it costs two

Second two first round picks screw it I’m in I’m SE in two first rounders Grimes forier I’m in let me know if you’re like absolutely not nope no I want a guard who shoots better let me know that or if you just are like yeah price kind of dictates it I I’d be
