The SHOCKING REASON The Knicks Traded for O.G. Anunoby…

There is a shocking truth to the reason why the Knicks just did this OG on and Obi trade that we have to discuss because nobody is talking about it so what’s up guys welcome back to nck digest obviously we’re on the OG on anobi Toronto Raptors trade kick right

Now and we are not slowing down yet it’s Chris here and we’re going to jump right into the video so let’s do this the real truth behind this OG an anobi trade goes deeper than just the Knicks getting a better fit for their team they are not done when it comes to

Making trades I said stay tuned because there is going to be some trade talks going on still and Ian Begley has said I don’t think they’re done on the Knicks potentially making more moves now who Could That Be we’re not exactly sure but as you saw in the thumbnail very likely

We are talking about Donovan Mitchell now I know before you say anything I know the Knicks just traded Emanuel quickly an RJ Barrett to the Raptors and that means that one of the two potential headliner players for a trade both of them are now gone what can the Knicks do

To make a trade and that’s when these draft picks come into play guys because the Knicks didn’t give a single first rounder when trying to acquire OG on anobi when initially a year ago the Raptors were looking for a hole similar to the one that the Jazz got for Donovan

Mitchell but nope not going to happen the Knicks Gave Barrett and quickly and now they still have all eight of their first round draft picks that they can still trade away to other teams to try to get Donovan Mitchell or a different other star to the New York Knicks to

Fill out a monster great Squad and let’s dive a little deeper if you look here this is an article from from Kristen Winfield that came out today and here’s what he’s saying they moved on from a player in quickly that they weren’t interested in overpaying they upgraded

At the end n Ba’s Premier position if you ask Kevin Durant which is the small fer position they added depth at the five with Mitchell Robinson out for an extended period and they only surrendered one second round pick allbe at their best one likely the 31st

Overall pick in the 2024 NBA draft which you know isn’t crazy valuable or anything and in a perfect world anobi should be this team’s fourth option at best the Knicks are primed for another deal maybe even two as Winfield highlights the going price for a first round pick is either matching salary or

Matching salary plus a young player along with F four first round draft picks and the Knicks have eight to trade or nine actually to trade and if they wanted to acquire Deonte Murray for example the Nicks could send the Hawks Evan for’s expiring contract plus any three first round picks and a single

First round pick swap a comparable trade to what the Hawks gave the Spurs to acquire Murray in the first place now look I don’t think de jonte Murray is the exact same value that he did when he got traded off the San Antonio Spurs because Murray was averaging nearly a

Triple double That season and was an Allstar he has not been an All-Star with the Atlanta Hawks Al be it he’s only been there for one year where there’s been an All-Star Game and obviously we’re not sure yet but it does not look like Deon Murray will be an Allstar in

Atlanta and Atlanta looks to be interested in moving on from Murray he could go to the Knicks he’s a name and when you look at deante Murray if you go to his Instagram he just changed it he deleted all of his Hawks photos and including he changed his profile picture

To a black screen something’s up and I’m not saying he’s getting traded to the Knicks but there’s probably a dejon Murray trade coming in the near future he’s someone the Knicks could Target we’ve talked about that a little bit but also you know the main event of the

Evening Donovan Mitchell look the Nicks just freed up around $35 million in cap space in total now that they’re not going to be paying him manual quickly and that RJ Barrett’s contract is off the books we just came out with a video that was disputing all of you in the

Comments who were saying ah Chris you’re a lunatic you think that anobi is going to get paid less than RJ Barrett yeah I do actually I said that and now it came out that that’s true and we made a video on it so I don’t know argue with someone

About that I don’t really care but as I mentioned OG anobi is willing to take a P up with the New York Knicks which I always said was going to happen because he wanted to play for the Knicks and play for CAA boss Leon Rose and William

Wesley of course and now that both of those things have happened anobi understands that he is not going to be the niick Superstar but that he is one of the Premier pieces that they want on a contending team they have Jaylen Brunson who’s an Allstar who should be

All NBA they have Julius Randall who’s an Allstar who should be all NBA they are one piece away Donovan Mitchell does not seem thrilled to be in Cleveland the Knicks could wait and sign in free agency they’re going to have more c cap flexibility than they’ve had in a long time and then

Also they could trade for him because the Cavs are not going to get back what they got for Donovan Mitchell that’s not gonna or what they gave up for Donovan Mitchell that’s not going to happen people know that he doesn’t want to be in Cleveland thus so they’re not going

To pay him the same amount it’s one of the similar reasons why I think the Hawks won’t get back the same value is because well everyone knows it’s not working out already that’s not a secret so the price goes down the Knicks have enough first round draft picks to make a trade based

Off those picks and I understand that it is a little bit more difficult now considering Barrett and quickley are up in the six however it does not mean it is over New York this is according to W in an article that he wrote after the trade happened New York who’s 17 and 14

And seventh in the Eastern Conference maintained significant draft at assets to make more impactful trades in the coming weeks and months everyone knows that this trade is very clearly not the end game this is a move that sets up another move Lon is moving he’s always playing that 4D chess

And something else is coming this is the move to set up for a star this isn’t the Knicks taking a gamble on cam reddish this is not the Knicks taking that gamble that worked out on Josh Hart this is a move for a player who the New York

Knicks think is going to help land that star and fill out the roster very nicely what the Knicks might be hoping for is that they can land CA client and overall New Yorker Donovan Mitchell and pair him with Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randle while having one of the best Don ball

Defenders in the NBA and Oobi and also having one of the best low poost defenders in Mitchell Robinson stack that bench up with Dante D venzo Josh Hart Isaiah hardenstein if he sticks around or precious Hua if Isaiah hardenstein doesn’t stick around and then it just seems like a

Pretty filled out roster to me am I saying it’s the favorites to win the NBA Finals no is that a team talented talented enough to win the NBA Finals absolutely so we’re now in a position where the New York Knicks might really be one move away from being a

True NBA Finals Contender and if they can do it off draft picks it means they’re not thinning out that roster anymore think the bulk of the roster that the Knicks want to try to contend with is here they’re waiting on one more guy I don’t think it’s going to be de

Murray I think they’re going to look at how the Hawks paired him with Trey young and decide no obviously Murray’s more of a playmaker than Jaylen Brunson is so you kind of move Brunson a little bit off Ball but do you really want to do that I don’t really think so and

Obviously that would have to happen with Donovan too but Donovan just is better than Deon Murray and I think the Knicks are going to look for dejon or for Donovan for that reason and this could happen in free agency and the Knicks could just keep all their assets who knows that’s perfectly viable

As an option but this is a crazy moment right now obviously today’s been wild the Knicks acquired on anobi around five hours ago and I am on my third video of the day about this but look this is now about getting Donovan Mitchell or another star I’m way more

Open to the idea of Donovan now that you have a guy like OG who doesn’t need the ball in his hands the way that RJ did now you don’t have to play a game where where everyone needs the basketball Brunson can play off the ball a little

Bit Donovan seems like he’d be happy to play off the ball a little bit more Julius can play honor off the ball though he plays way too much on the ball however he’s great he’s having a tremendous season the best season of his career not counting that start because

His ankle was pretty messed up still the Knicks are in great position right now they’ve moved themselves into position to actually land a star and do this correctly I think this is for the best and I do not think the Knicks are done I agree wholeheartedly with WJ and here is

Just not a trade that I’m saying the Nick should make I just found this on Sir Charles in Charge from fansided essentially what I’m showing you is the fact the New York Knicks if they wanted to could make a move and get Donovan Mitchell to the Knicks that does not

Involve IQ or RJ because everyone’s reaction is how are the Knicks going to trade for a star now that they don’t have IQ or RJ well it’s going to be based off draft picks it’s why the Knicks have been stockpiling draft picks for the past few years so it can one day

Pay off they didn’t need to pay it off with OG they paid it off with current players and guys who didn’t really fit with the Knicks and now they are in perfect position to land a star and I cannot wait guys leave a comment down below if you

Think the Nick should now go for Donan Mitchell or Deonte Murray or someone completely different I’m open to suggestions I’m reading the comments I’m very active on YouTube today I’m going to see what all you guys are suggesting can’t wait to have some discussions some debates in the comments below obviously
