Knicks Decline INSANE Trade Proposal | Knicks News

The New York Knicks recently declined to trade for Grant Williams in a trade that would have sent Quinton Grimes to the Dallas Mavericks and obviously we have to talk about this abomination of a trade idea from the Mavericks so let’s jump right into it as we always do

What’s up guys welcome back to Nick’s digest it’s Chris here and I am not wearing any Nick scare right now but who cares we’re going to jump right into the video today because per Stefon Bondi the New York Knicks rejected a tradeoff offer from the Dallas Mavericks that was

Centered around Quinton Grimes and Grant Williams yes I have a hat on now now also for Mavs fan for life Nation they tweeted out per Bondi again that the Mavericks showed interest but their package was quickly turned down by the Knicks a source said now I don’t know what that means

But that certainly means the Mavericks almost certainly offered a deal for Quinton Grimes that would have given the Grant Williams in like a second round pick and Leon Rose probably didn’t even say no he probably just hung up the phone and then laughed and then was just like all right well

The Mavericks have officially lost their minds look it’s not the Nick’s fault that the Mavericks have built their team poorly but I also don’t just want to go out and insult the Dallas Mavericks even though their fans are really hateful towards the New York Knicks because their own franchise didn’t recognize how

Good Jaylen Bronson is and I don’t see how that’s our fault but look basically they’ve had Grant Williams be their starting power forward for most of this season and he’s only 6’6 which gives me worries and he’s also just not good enough it came out not that long that

Knicks are not going to trade Quinton Grimes for someone unless they are a clear upgrade they don’t want to replace someone at the end of the bench and that is exactly what they would be doing if they got Grant Williams Grant Williams would not play Heavy minutes with the niick

Even with Randall out Grant Williams would not start over Josh Hart at the four that’s just not happening guys I don’t see the point in this trade obviously Leon Rose did not either and the Knicks turned it down look Grant Williams is a fine NBA role player he

Doesn’t suck and who am I to say that Grant Williams would be bad at basketball when I’m in here with NBA 2K on in the background and that’s the only form of competitive basketball that I play outside of a wck league where I average Four Points a game so clearly I

Can’t really say someone’s bad at basketball but I will say this Quinton Grimes is better at basketball than Grant Williams and if the Knicks are going to trade Quinton Grimes I don’t see why they would trade him for a player like this who’s going to be at

The back of the Knicks rotation he’d be in it Williams would be in the Knicks rotation but he would be in the back end getting 10 minutes a night the Knicks have already shown they don’t want to do that and it would make no sense to do

That they have Grimes who’s a young player a three and D guy who has value because whatever team trades from can determine the contract extension they want to give him and have those rights over him that basically Grimes can’t go anywhere he would only become a restricted free agent if the team that

Trades for him does not sign an extension and so even if he does sign a deal the team can just match it it feels like he’s not going to play out his contract with the next very few rookies ever do the only one who really ever has in recent years has been Mitchell

Robinson who is stuck around for a while and RJ Barrett who got traded in the first year if his contract extension and now RJ’s balling out shout out RJ Barrett we love RJ Barrett forever but now talking about the Knicks I don’t see why they would do this as I

Said I don’t see why the Mavericks would offer this and think they would get anywhere with it but it is clear that Grimes has some value as we saw on January 18th the Knicks per sources are aware of grimes’s frustration and are trying to move him before the trade

Deadline there’s also a willingness to take on multi-year deals that could be packed packaged in a later Blockbuster a source said the Mavericks have expressed interest in Quinton Grimes so we’ve known the maps had interest form him but clearly they’re not trying to pay too

High of a price for him I would assume if they really wanted to get Quinton Grimes if they really wanted to go out there and be like we want Grimes we want to start him we have Luca who’s a big point guard so we can kind of start

Grimes at the three and get away with it even though he’s just 65 and have him next to Luca and Kyrie and be a really good defender on the wing even though they also have Josh green and Jaden Hardy so they do have or Jaylen Hardy so

They do have a lot of guys grimes’s size anyway who are solid Defenders but Grimes would be the best on ball defender on that lineup the second he would get there they would have had to give up one of Hardy and that could have sort of been some swap but I don’t know

How the Knicks feel interested in him Josh Green who’s a similar player but a better shooter and a worse defender or give the Knicks Tim Hardaway Jr and the Knicks also give you Evan forier and then maybe second rounder or just Grimes and forier for Tim Hardway Jr in general

I think that could have been a realistic trade also but Grant Williams isn’t going to get it done we’ve already seen the Nicks AR do that as I’ve said a few times now and let’s just take a look these are Grant williams’ stats on the season he’s averaging eight points three

And a half rebounds and two assists while shooting 41% from the field and 38% from three his PR is in the dumpster look he’s not a bad player but he’s mainly a spot up shooter and he’s not a good enough spot up shooter to be a

Starter on a champion ship team and the Dallas Mavericks very much know that which is why they’re trying to move him the Mavs don’t have a lot of big men outside of Derek Lively who’s actually currently dealing with an injury nothing major but he is out for a little bit of

Time the Mavericks are in a weird spot because they have Luca donic who’s one of the best players in the planet you could kind of go either way with it I would say he’s the best point guard in the NBA second to Shay and as of right now as of today brunson’s third

With the way that they’re all playing right now but that that all meaning all point guards in the NBA um but outside of that and outside of Kyrie who’s having a good season with them they don’t have much they got some decent role players but

All of them are wings all of them are guards they need some sort of a forward so I don’t see why they would even do this I don’t see what the point to that would have been unless you’re going real small and playing Green at Josh green at

The power forward which seems like a terrible idea to me so clearly the Mavericks are in some trouble and they’re trying to make their team better in any ways possible but this is not the way for them to get it done it’s just not going to work and if you look at

Quinton grimes’s stats Grimes and stats are not unsimilar to the stats of Grant Williams but there is a difference because yeah Grimes is averaging seven points two rebounds one assist shooting 40% from the field and 36% from three he’s actually shooting worse from three and his PR is only slightly better than

Grant Williams’s but grimes’s defense is far better and on top of that Quinton Grimes does do in fact have contract rights that Grant William does that Grant Williams doesn’t when Grant williams’ contract runs out what happens is that Williams becomes an unrestricted free agent and as I’ve already said

About Grimes he becomes a restricted free agent so you get a lot of power over Quinton grimes’s next contract Whoever has him on their team now I’m going to go out on a limb and say that I do expect the New York Knicks to keep Quinton Grimes over the trade deadline

And maybe I’ll be wrong maybe he’ll get traded before I finish filming this video which would be real funny um but I do think they’re going to keep him and I think we’re going to see him get moved over the off season W just said multiple times that the Knicks are going

To trade for a star this off season and he is part of CA so he would know a good deal about that we did a video on that with Bruce Brown in the thumbnail if you do want to find that it is a good video

And we talk about W being CIA and why he might know this and why it could definitely be true so I think they should keep him and use him as another piece in a trade look it’s not there’s not going to be too many packages back better than offering

A team Quinton Grimes Evan for’s contract how you opt into the team option make them an expiring that team that gets them instantly buys them out um and then you also get five six first round picks on top of it depending on protections and swaps and all that

That’s a good trade for a star player now it also depends on who the star is because it’s going to dictate the market value and how much you actually have to pay for them depending on how good they really are but I think the Knicks are better off using Grimes as a young

Player to give to a team that is trading a star teams like to get back at least some sort of young player the process and Grimes is a decent one I mean the Utah Jets really wanted him in the Donovan Mitchell trade talk so clearly teams value Quinton Grimes a lot and the

Knicks should definitely not make any moves like this hopefully Grim sticks around for the rest of the season and then after that they could focus on moving him I don’t think the Nicks should do much at the deadline it seems like Malcolm brogen’s not getting moved the Knicks could do something for

Clarkson and in that case Quinton GRS would get traded or the Knicks to do something for Alec Burks and I don’t think gr will get moved in that so we’ll definitely see and make sure you’re tuned in to the those videos were going off because it is deadline week I’m

Filming this on Tuesday February 6th I think this is going to come out tomorrow for me on Wednesday so it is probably a day almost 24 hours exactly before the deadline and we’re probably filming a ton of videos Darielle and I are going to go live right after the deadline ends

And basically talk about what the Knicks did what they didn’t do what they should have done and how other moves will affect the other teams and you don’t want to miss that make sure you subscribe to ni digest like this video get us in that algorithm turn on post

  1. Yeah nahhh I'm good on Williams 😂 Cuban delusional if he thinks he can pull a fast one on the Knicks again

  2. Definitely reject the grant williams for grimes trade. Dallas mavericks owe NYKs! Dallas to give up the first round they protect in 2023. If and when they give up that pick then we can discuss a grimes trade but not for grant williams

  3. I hope stories like these make Knicks fans realize why the Knicks haven't gotten another trade done recently. Y'all be talking about getting a Donovan Mitchell, or Dejounte Murray, Mikal Bridges, Malcolm Brogdon, or even someone minor like Jordan Kelly Clarkson + Olynyk, but don't realize that they're asking a King's ransom, even for bench players on expiring contracts. If teams weren't lowballing the Knicks for these types of players, we woulda made the trade by now.

  4. Super unpopular opinion: I like him. Grant Williams is the kind of guy to eat up forward minutes. Precious can't shoot. OG is brittle. Randle might not come back.

  5. Jazz fan here. I see this as a fair trade. What has Grimes done that he cost you guys Mitchell and others? Grimes is a low first round pick who has potential but clearly hasnt proven nothing.

  6. GRIMES WHEN GIVEN SOME BURN WILL BE EQUAL TO MURRAY IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE HE A BIT QUICKER AND STRONGER AND I BELIEVE YOUNGER, PLUS MITCHELL IS OFFENSIVELY BETTER THAN BOTH AND THEY DID NOT WANT TO TRADE HIM ,I WOULD KEEP HIM HE HAS A LOT OF UPSIDE.

  7. I’ve never seen anyone fall so madly in love with a guy who shoots under 40% from the field. 1.14 points per shot 😮……THAT IS HISTORICALLY BAD.
    To be fair they were 14-2 in January with him contributing 20 min a game.
    6-7 in December contributing 17 minutes so I assume the less he plays the worse they are. 9-7 in all other games so perhaps he’s improving. So why would they consider moving him given his all nba defensive skills? Because they ain’t keeping him around for his offense. In truth the Knicks really don’t need him and because he is apparently “disgruntled” good luck getting anything for him.

  8. Grimes shoots lot of 3s and has .530 eFG% which isn't too shabby for a bench. Dejounte Murray has a .531 eFG% and look how much hype he gets. I don't want to hear anything about Jordan Clarkson's poor .470 eFG%. Grimes also plays solid defense. If someone just looks at Grimes FG% and sees 40%, they will automatically assume he is horrible but like 5 of his 6 shot attempts are three pointers. I do wish he drives more often because he is definitely capable. I guess the lane is clogged up though with iHart, Randle, Precious and OG. Knicks could have absolutely used Grimes outside shooting vs the Lakers when Davis was protecting the rim.

  9. KNicks should not do any trades with the mavs after what they pull last year.. with our pick. They need to pay up.

  10. Your side comments are hilarious!!!😂😂😂😂😂 I appreciate all you do on here bro👍

  11. Mavs fan here. Man i miss brunson. Went to the playoff game when we played the jazz an luka was hurt. He scored 42 or 40 came thru clutch. I started a mvp chant lol for him to only leave l😂. I still root for em i think mavs fans know we got fleeced. Dads agent was ya gm so they had a inside knowledge an they played us. It sucks so i see the hate but i still root for brunson burner. We should of restricted. We screwed dirk so many years should of had more chips.
