REPORT: Knicks WANT Dejounte Murray Trade + Knicks vs. Bucks Reaction After Win On Christmas Day
The New York Knicks just beat the Milwaukee Bucks on Christmas day we’re going to break that game down a lot of the Knicks big players they showed up big game from Jaylen Brunson Emanuel quickly RJ Barrett was really good and Julius Randall we’ll react to that
Around the corner but I really want to share my thoughts on the reports that came out this weekend from a lot of Nicks insiders Ian Begley that the Knicks are interested in dejonte Murray and prominent people in the front office believe that Murray is the perfect Nicks
Trade Target we’ll talk about that but let’s just let’s give the flowers to Jaylen Bruns look it’s always fun when the Knicks play on Christmas Day and he lit it up in the garden 38 points six assists zero turnovers though that’s what I like to see from Brunson he came
Out right out of the gate and started attacking he had six of the Knicks first eight points I believe and at one point it was only Jaylen Brunson and RJ Barrett that had scored through like the first five minutes of the game a lot of talk about how Jaylen just can’t be that
Go-to guy right too small he’s 6’2 huie Brown let us know about 75 times on the broadcast but when you play like this and you outplay Damen Lillard and you outplay Giannis on the biggest stage in the NBA’s regular season I don’t know the dude’s pretty good and I’ll take him
On my basketball team any day hats off to Brunson played his butt off I’m just happy he’s a New York Nick so good though to see also Julius Randall in a big moment in a big stage heightened intensity play good basketball cuz Christmas Day against the Bucks that’s
The closest thing outside of the inseason tournament you’re probably going to get to playoff action and a playoff type atmosphere and we know Randall is struggling their situations but he played good today and what I liked was we’ve seen so many times in the past Randle become disengaged at
Times because he’s not getting a lot of offensive touches he’s not getting a lot of looks and to start this game it was the Brunson and Barrett show Randle stayed the course played good defense especially good defense on Giannis in that first half I thought he met physicality with physicality and he
Played good Giannis had a great third quarter but if you really watch that game in the first half he was a non-factor in large part because of what Randall did on the defensive end look he’s a great player he’s going to get his with the Knicks I thought contained
Him made him make some bad decisions and have some costly turnovers played well but he was outplayed by Jaylen Brunson Damen Lillard also a really good game the stats like when you just think about it through the game you didn’t it didn’t feel like you were playing at a Bucks
Team that had Damen Lord get 32 and Yannis almost get 40 you look back and they did and when you’re able to beat that team when those two guys go off like that that’s good for the confidence and just the overall morale of this team who struggled against top teams so far
This year but I like the way they played and I was very proud of the way RJ Barrett played he has struggled mightily throughout the past months uh past month at this point a lot of people know that we can we can all can agree did not play
Well against the bucks on Friday but he came out he got downhill he made a three kept on attack ATT in he was relentless time after time getting to the cup I thought RJ Barrett played well and this Knicks team needs him to play well CU
More than likely and you can go back and look and check it when he plays well Nicks are going to win and that’s why I always think he’s the biggest X Factor Isaiah hardenstein stepping up in the absence of Mitchell Robinson what does what Isaiah hardenstein does 11 points
Eight rebounds four assists efficiency defense heart intensity and just grit he gave you that and his brother his guy Josh Hart he did the same exact thing how many times have seen Josh Hart play like this I know there’s a lot of talk about how Josh is overpaid at this point
Not playing good basketball he does all the little things he makes all the winning teams for winning plays excuse me for this team did that tonight I like how he got active in the Fast Break there was one sequence where he pushed the ball he swung it to an open emanu
Quickly and he knocked it down and the very next possession he went Coast to Coast got to that right hand and laid it up love the way he played and in a match up against the Bucks where he’s got to play a bigger guy like Bobby poris he
Met that he uh he answered that Bell today I was proud of the way he played huge win for the Knicks always fun on prime time especially on ESPN since uh all they do is uh talk about negative stuff for the Knicks it’s pretty crazy just want to say I appreciate you guys

Begley Fred cat Stephan Bondi they all reported as well as Michael Scot of hoop type that the Knicks are one of a couple of teams that have shown interest so far in the Atlanta Hawks to guard Deonte Murray the quote for me and Begley was prominent members of the Knicks front
Office see dejonte Murray as an ideal fit on this Knicks roster and when you just think about it it makes a lot of sense right 6’5 guard he can handle he can create and he shown that he’s gotten better as a three-point shooter every year and he’s also a guy that can lock
Up on that other end this year so far for the Hawks 20 points per game just over four rebounds going to get you almost six assists per night and he’s been really efficient 46 plus perc from the field and almost 39% from downtown I think Murray is an absolute great player
And I think he would be a good fit next to a guy like Jaylen Brunson question is of course what are you going to give up in a deal for him I’m assuming that the Atlanta Hawks would probably want RJ Barrett Emanuel quickly and a couple of
First round picks and I wouldn’t be against a trade like that because the games like today and I don’t want to just be totally duped by a game in December by the Knicks where they beat the bucks after they just lost at home two days before we had four players go
For 20 points tonight Brunson Randall Barrett and quickley and when the Knicks have those four guys play their best game they’re going to be a really hard tough to team to beat and that’s that’s been shown Murray’s a great player though and I think he would fit really
Well in an ex starting lineup but if I am trading for Murray I don’t think that solves the New York Knicks complete problem they still need that multifaceted Wing they still need that 6’8 6’9 small forward that could shoot above League average from three and defend multiple positions Murray helps
You there because I think that he is a guy that can guard one through three but you’re still a little bit small and you’re giving up RJ Barrett who’s really your only true wing on this roster if they did make a if the Knicks did make a
Trade with the Hawks I would be interested in a guy like Sadiq Bay former Villanova Wildcat if you could find a way to maybe trade saw it on the internet just a thought maybe RJ quickly couple of first throw in forier get sadique Bay and de jonte Murray I would
Love that if I had to say though should the Nick trade for Deonte Murray I’m GNA say trade I’m gonna say I think you should do it do I think he’s the perfect fit no can you continue to chase that perfect fit I don’t know because it
Hasn’t been found you haven’t found that guy yet I want to hear from you though type t for trade type P for pass I think it makes the knck better I still think that there’s another move that would have to come for them to be finals contenders but it absolutely makes them
Better let me know what you think as always just want to say thank you and I appreciate you guys for tuning in hope you’re enjoying the holidays you’re with your family enjoy it a lot of people don’t get to see their family this time of the year so enjoy it we’ll see you

Who was the Knicks MVP vs. the Bucks?
Why would the hawks trade him to the knicks,a bitter east rival?
T
T. I would trade for Dejounte Murray. In fact, I thought the Knicks should have tried to get him when he was on San Antonio. He's a great defender which would make it more difficult for opposing teams to drive from the perimeter into the paint. His defense would create turnovers, fast breaks, second chance points and more for the Knicks. Remember that he played under a strong defensive coach in Greg Popovich so he should easily adapt to Thibs' tough defensive style. Dejounte Murray is also a great passer. This would make it easier for Julius Randle and Jalen Brunson to score as well as shooters like Quentin Grimes, Josh Hart, Donte DiVincenzo and others. In addition, he would average around 10 assists as well.
The Knicks could try to get Myles Turner, Buddy Hield, Lauri Markannen or Kyle Kuzma. They have a lot of first round picks so the team could make more than one more.
Get rid of RJ he’s to inconsistent
Marshall I totally agree with you. A Murray and Bey combo trade would be in the Knicks best interest.
No trade involving quickley
Not giving up RJ for Murray… stop it. It ain’t happening.
P
I wouldn't trade barrett and quick for him both of these dudes can and had career nights what if murray get injured we out of a starter and a efficien six man dont do it
Instead of Murray just resign quickley and start him but they don’t because that’s not what they need
YOU A DAM FOOL TALKING ABOUT YOU WOULD TRADE RJ,IQ AND PICKS FOR THIS DUDE WHO SAN ANTONIO WANTED 3 PICKS FOR HIM AND WE BLUFFED . YOU MUST BE CRAZY WITH YOUR DELUSIONAL SCENERIOS.
His defense is overrated
I really like Murray but not giving up RJ and Quickley. I’ll give them Fournier and Grimes.
Brunson
Murray
RJ
JR
Hart (w/ Robinson hurt)
Hart
Quickley
Divon
Coming off the bench
Yes trade for Murray but we need another player from the hawks that can match RJ & Quickley talent.. I would give up them both for just Murry. Fit in another player with Donte that matches there talent
T for trade for Murray. Also, you hit it right on the head, Trade for both Murray and Bey. Yes you have to include RJ, but it’s been 5 years and the only thing Barrett has really improved on is his free-throw shooting. So we need to move him while he has some value. We’re going to lose Quick because he wants to be a starter. That won’t happen as long as we have Brunson. So, I say move RJ, Quick, Grimes and a #1 for Murray & Bey. While you’re at it, send McBride to OKC for Tre Mann to back up Brunson and have him in the Second unit with DiVincenzo
Proud of my Knicks on CHRISTMAS day!!! When RJ rocks out we definitely win easily. We need a coach who has offensive schemes rather than iso plays.
**RUN YOUR IDEAS THRU THE TRADE MACHINE***
I want to refer back to my superchat – i paid a few bucks to highlight that the real money doesnt work with Fornier, and the roster construction doesnt work without moving RJ.
Fornier is a whole other trade – or possibly he goes to a third team willing to send us a backup center, and Atlanta draft capital sweetener
P – The package would not make sense, given to much..
I like MURRAY and I think personally in my opinion he would be a great fit!!!! lengthy guy and a elite defender. maybe not the best three-point shooter but I like his mid range!!!! 🙌
If we could get Clint Capella too that would solve the Mitch problem….
As a Hawks fan … please take both Murray and Hunter. TIME TO RETOOL IN ATL. i would trade Trae too
mmm we need more guards wow dude doesnt play the 2 not his true position so unless we cleaning roster for a bigger move i dont see it making any sense
