NFT: Knicks chat: Week ahead and trade deadline next week

and have to watch his fucking face on TV multiple times for a week

I'm probably gonna boycott for a minimum of 5 games.

I doubt it happens. Nothing ever happens.

fuck that guy


I still can't quite figure how inconsistent this team is, but that's a lot of star power coming through the Garden. Should be fun.

I dont think its necassarily inconsistent, its just that some games the lack of a true star shines through..I think Brunson and Randle are 100% should be all stars, but they arent stars, Brunson can close games sometimes but Randle hasnt shown that abilith..

I also think the fit between Brunson, Rj and Randle is still a little clumsy and thats ehy the iso game comes into play to much

I will not follow the Knicks at all if they acquire that sack of shit. Won't watch them, won't discuss them, nothing. He's a disgrace to the game of basketball and his presence will be an insult.

hahaha i dont think they get Allen, i think their main target is OG and Reddish will go out for Ibaka and George Hill..

Weird NBA record thing:

The New York Knicks are one of five teams to have a losing record at home this season.

The other four teams:

Charlotte Hornets
Detroit Pistons
Houston Rockets
San Antonio Spurs

Otherwise known as the worst four teams in the NBA so far this season.

Crowder to Bucks seems to be heating up, But Suns and Milwaukee are looking for a 3rd team wonder if this is where Knicks come into play with Reddish..

Suns have given permission to Crowder to speak to Milwaukee, i would assume about role and contract..

Knicks and Suns are both interested in OG, Kniicks have shown a willingness to offer multiple first round picks..It comes down to if Toronto is willing to trade him

they will make a decision on being buyers or sellers closer to the deadline

and has been out. Luckily it wasn't fractured - he landed on it awkwardly.

would be my offer for OG

Rj is very difficult to trade right now

talk about.

I'm sure Fred VanVleet would be on their radar. Love to punt him to the Western Conference, if not the moon.

That would be a huge get for the Knicks.

help but he doesn't move the needle enough to start giving up our future unprotected picks IMO. Certainly would be willing to discuss the other picks we have coming. What's interesting to me is what the Knicks' interest in OG signals about how they feel about RJ.

I doubt they could trade him this season

I don't see us overpaying for OG. I don't see any other great players available that work. I don't think they would trade Randle or RJ midseason when we are in the hunt for the playoffs. I expect Reddish for a 2nd, maybe 2. More of the same.

I can’t tell if you’re serious or just trolling Greg, lol

you have to make sure Thibs would be willing to take advantage of his versatility and play him at the 4 or will he stick with 2 bigs..

You could close with randle, OG, Rj, Quivk or grimes and Brunson against most teams and the spacing and perimiter defense would be fantastic..

They need to save their picks for s real difference maker and if not that keep building through the draft.

I think they have plenty of picks to be able to trade for OG and then in the offseason make a trade for a star..

and i only think they need 1

Oh I'm dead serious, but the reason I want him so bad is mostly because of Greg. His irrational hatred of college players and continuing that for their careers is one of the most annoying things on bbi for me. Then there are people that follow his lead. Therefore, I want it!

They need a mega star. Brunson and Randle are stars, but neither is a batman, they are robins and Randle is a flawed Robin. I think the Knicks would be much better off trading RJ and Randle in the offseason if they can get assets(as opposed to a salary dump). I'd trade Ranle now, but the Knicks would never.

is going to pants the Knicks here isn't he?

Has there ever been a season with so few trades? Unless I’m missing something there has barely been any trades this year and doesn’t seem to have any major trades in the works.

for Donovan Mitchell, a borderline mega star, I don't think they'll get abused for OG.

What is a fair trade ceiling for OG? What is the most you'd be willing to give up?

For me, I'd trade Obi, McBride, and up to 1 lightly protected draft pick(maybe top 10)and 1 of the traded firsts we have. If none of our own, up to 3 of the traded picks.

I think a part of that is that more teams are playoff contenders now because of the play in.

I personally think Rose and co are a bit too conservative and afraid to take bigger swings/risks but in this case it does work in their favor. Hard to see them get fleeced, I think they just won't wind up sealing the deal instead.

The teams that are selling or on the brink have set high prices for their role players..

They will go down as you get closer..I also think certain teams are afraid to blow it up, like the Bulls and Raptors..

My college roommate and I flew to Indy without a ticket.
Wisconsin,my alma mater,was in the final against Coach K and Duke.
We were all set to finally win a NATTYYYYY,when some Freshman came off the bench and took over the game.
That Kid's name was Grayson Allen.
So forgive me if I am biased in this conversation.

He needs to move before deadline or we get nothing in return for him

OG is probably a precursor move to trading RJ and landing a superstar...he is an excellent complimentary piece to a championship team potentially. He is the young Draymond Green of the NBA. Many of the championship teams have that kind of player on the roster.

Draymond and OG may have some similarities as defenders, but that's where the comparison ends. They're quite different offensively.

Sure but both while elite top 5 NBA defenders in their prime that can gaurd mutliple positions both also have an offensive game and are not Frank Nkitilinas out there either.

Green is going to the HOF and has averaged 5.5 assists for his career, 7.2 since turning 25 (Anunoby's age now) OG has averaged 1.5 for his career. OG is a very solid NBA player, he's nowhere, nowhere near Draymond Green.

Point taken the offensive game is not Draymonds . But he came intot je NBA very raw and has improved every year offensively. He may never be Green offensively but he is already a decent offensive player and could still improve a bit more. That said in no way should he command a Superstar haul but Obi and 2 picks or 3 picks with 2 protected I would do.

I was just coming to post this, i havnt watched enough of Denver but i thought he was having a good year...How is his defense?

fans "open" to trading him all trash his defense. Said it's hard having him out there late in games.

like his defense, "fit with" Jokic and the emergence of Christian Braun are the reasons they are giving for being open to moving him. A lot of people trashing his defense though.

interesting than yeah

"8. Bones Hyland can't be a sinkhole on defense The Denver Nuggets are second in offensive efficiency and 28th in defense, and face some stark lineup choices in trying to fix the latter without chipping away at the former. Some of those choices probably aren't as black and white as they seemed a few months ago.

Two defense-first types -- Aaron Gordon and Bruce Brown -- are thriving on offense orbiting Nikola Jokic. Michael Porter Jr. will always skew offense, but he's made strides on the other end.

Next up: Hyland, their brash sixth man, shooting 44% on 3s and building bob-and-weave pick-and-roll chemistry with Jokic. Denver needs Hyland's offense in its endless quest to tread water when Jokic rests. When great defenses take away the easy stuff, the Nuggets will be tempted to shove Hyland into crunch-time lineups alongside Jokic, Jamal Murray, and perhaps Porter.

The Nuggets don't need Hyland to be a good defender, or even an average one. Apex scorers will hunt him, and the Nuggets know how to rotate and cover for that. What they can't absorb is Hyland igniting fires all over the floor, against every rote action.

(Missing embedded video here of Hyland going under a screen and getting completely caught to give up an open 3)

Hyland flubs the most basic pindown imaginable for Shaedon Sharpe. Screen navigation on and off the ball is a constant issue. If Hyland wants to play major postseason minutes, he has to clean this stuff up. He ranks dead last among all players in defensive estimated plus-minus and 445th in ESPN's adjusted defensive plus-minus."

seems like there is smoke and an offer on the table if Toronto decides to sell off some pieces. I guess if you want OG, root for Toronto lose on this road trip that ends Feb 5th

believed the Knicks and Suns have been the most aggressive on OG with "other teams" also involved.

Three firsts - two protected and one unprotected. If someone tops it, or Toronto demands more - oh well.

Salaries don't match unless you an expiring contract like Rose and Cam

I'd vomit if we end up with Grayson Allen.

A team like the Bulls should blow it up. Chicago is treading water @ this point. They blew it with that Vooch trade for Wendall Carter & the pick that became Franz Wagner.

Did the Knicks actually offer this, or this speculation?

That seems steep for OG IMO

I agree w/ Steve. That seems like a steep price for OG. Then again...after what Gobert fetched...what the hell do I know?

our unprotected first in the upcoming draft for a guy like OG and then throwing in a protected first or perhaps two. But I'm not including unprotected picks down the road. They're too valuable in the current market to be trading them for a non all star - who you likely have to pay big money to after next season. If that's not good enough, you walk away.

But doesn't move the needle very much and you are going to need to pay him next year or lose him.
I can't see giving up too much for him .

I think the plan is to get him and then frees uo some other llahers on the team to go get a star..

be an upgrade on defense and improve our outside shooting. I'm not sure who or what picks would be the +, but that's the framework I'd like.

That's speculation on your part that has never been mentioned in any reports.
At 22 years old RJs upside is higher than OG while OG defense is definitely better, his shooting splits are not leaps ahead of RJ especially with the age difference.
I think the Knicks are looking add OG to this current lineup to improve over Grimes lack of scoring as a 4th option and wing defender.

with the point that Rj could move to the bench and become a dynamic duo off the bench with Quick...Rj has his contract, so he may be ok with it..He come in and just worry about scoring

How are the Raptors so bad? They are 23-29.

I think they have to many mouths to feed and guys arent willing to take a lesser role or effect the game in another way..

Barnes and Siakim are clearly their top 2 players at least according to the organization and everything runs through them. They also occupy the same space, even with Siakim able to step out and hit a 3..

FVV has struggled with his shot (except when he plays the Knicks) and he is not really a distributor so he is looking for his shot more. So now thats 3 guys who look for their shot..

Trent Jr i think is 1 of the guys who actually accepts a lesser role, he is a good defender, who can shoot the 3 and play off the ball..

OG i think can be an offf the ball player, his value is obviously his defense but again he is the 4th maybe 5th option on the team so is he really being used properly?

They have no size, their bench is lacking and Nurse is like Thibs, plays his starters big minutes and really doesnt adjust much

Apparently, there are major chemistry problems (including the fact a few guys feel underpaid by the Raptors, FVV for one) Barnes has also regressed and there is a "feeling" there is pretty major regret they didn't pull the trigger on the Nets/Durant ask.

I want to see lineups with Randle at the 5 next OG, Rj , Quick or Grimes and Brunson..

The backup PF position is basically 10 to 15 minutes a night, OG is big enough to play the backup 4 with the bench..

The thing with Toronto is they are the definition of positionless basketball, Siakim is their stsrting center..

in one of his recent mailbags, and Begley's not the type to just throw stuff out there as clickbait. I could see that happening for the final 30 games or so if Obi and/or Cam is traded. I don't love the idea, but they would need an extra body at least.

the players on the Raptors are not the only ones who may be on the move. There's some noise around Nurse as well. If and when they move on from Thibs, he's a guy they should look at.

I hope they move on from Ujiri and we hire him to replace Leon. Ah, wishful thinking.

Exoect Lebron to get 15 free throws tonight..I honestly dont see how the Knicks win tonight..

“There’s been some speculation from a few rival executives that the Memphis Grizzlies could make a run at O.G. Anunoby, given their surplus of draft picks in the years to come,” Michael Scotto reported for HoopsHype. “… There was also a report out there, I believe from the Toronto Star, that one mystery team previously offered three first-round picks for Anunoby. … I don’t see Toronto getting a better package than that for him.”

Toronto are now takong calls on OG, Seems like its between Suns and Knicks for him..

Their new owner reportedly has told their FO they have his full support if they choose to be ultra aggressive.

If the suns offer that, the Raptors should jump on it.

and i say that as a fan of OG. He just doesnt feel like a guy you give up 3 firsts and Obi for (and im just about done with this version of Obi as a 3 pt shooter). OG is an elite defender and solid shooter, but thats about it. Very little offensive game outside of that. He feels like the guy you hope to draft (Grimes...) who is a solid starter on a good team. Not the kind of guy you give up 3 firsts and a young player for.

ALthough trading firsts in the nba is starting to feel like the initial talk on an NFL contract. You hear these crazy NFL contracts and then the guaranteed money/structure isnt that bad. In the NBA you can get 3 firsts but with the protections these days that might not be shit. I mean do the knicks trade the Raptors the Bucks pick, another pick and one of their own with top 25 protections? Well thats not that bad, ha. ANd im not saying TOR does that, just saying we see these deals where a team gives up a first and its like "OVERPAY!" then you see its top 25 protected, then top 20 protected, then top 18 protected, then it turns into some second round pick, ha.

immediately if the ask for OG is multiple unprotected firsts. The only one I would give up is this year's.

does this mean they dont love Cam Johnson? If so would they mind trading him to the knicks!

In comment 16020751 Italianju said:

Rumor is that Cam would be in the deal

For the Knicks to get into a bidding war for OG. If multiple teams are in I don't expect them to be that agressive

is not the guy I want the Knicks to be unloading their clip on.

You never know in the NBA and things change quickly, but who is the next possible star to become available via trade?

Lillard, KAT...maybe Lamelo Ball or Trae Young? I really don't see a likely target for the Knicks unless maybe Anthony Davis is moved.

Trading for OG does not stop them from trading for a star

if they gave up a lot of unprotected picks. Definitely need those for a star.

according to Begely

Are we letting RJ come off the bench and be the focus of the second unit? Kicking Grimes to the second unit?

I guess it would free up RJ for a summertime trade? But it doesn't make the roster make a lot of sense now.

to carry the second unit with IQ (Who kinda does this now a lot as he is the first of our top 3 to hit the bench and the first to come bacK). He can still get 30 minutes a night off the bench. But odds are it would kick Grimes to the bench and McBride out of the rotation.

We're never running a small lineup out there. If you get OG, you're never going to see him and Randle on the floor as the 4 and 5 with Thibs as coach. I feel like that lack of creativity limits the benefit for trading for a player like Ananoby. I'm fully against it, mostly because I don't think it's a dramatic upgrade and would necessitate trading multiple 1sts.

He's the new Ntilikina, a player so unrelentingly useless on offense that no level of defense can offset it.

I like Mcbride but i think he is the main rotstion guy that needs to be upgraded..

His inability to hit the catch and shoot 3 has killed them in games, especially with how good Quickley is getting into the paint

Rising stars game

For a role player.
OG is not adding a win to this current team, I hope they walk away from this.
I can't see giving 2 unprotected for OG.

something but right now he's a liability. I'd rather they dust off Fournier or Rose when they need bench minutes.

Really can't shoot at this point, even free throws. Best thing you can say about him is that he lights up the G league and his college stats are solid. But yeah, he's maybe more of a detraction on offense as he is a plus on defense.

I wouldnt do it but hes going to go for 3 1sts, 1 unprotected, 1 lightly protected and than 1 lottery portected more than likely..

The position he plays is highly coveted

how I just want the Knicks to do something. Dangerous way to think luckily I don't run the team. Not sure why I can't just enjoy a nice little 46 win season and wait for the off-season. Maybe it's because the off-seasons have yielded so little around here.

It sure seems like superstar players moved around a lot more often when the Knicks had no cap space/tradable assets and flexibility.

Where is that top 15 player who is growing angrier and angrier with his current digs and wants MSG. Where you at.

To quote Joe Schoen, don't shop hungry. Hopefully they don't force something big at the deadline just because we're all hungry for a big improvement.

something but right now he's a liability. I'd rather they dust off Fournier or Rose when they need bench minutes.

Sure. He's still very young. Right now, though, he doesn't belong in the NBA.

His biggest problem i think is he has no idea how to play off the ball, in college and even when he goes down to the G league, he is the best player on the court, he always had the ball and cna be agressive scoring..

With the Knicks he is off the ball player, gets a couple of shots and thats it and he struggles doing that

The Toronto Raptors would like to get off of OG Anunoby’s contract before they have to pay him after next season, per @Gambo987

I remember Ball saying a couple of months back that he couldn't even walk up stairs without feeling pain. Good God.
