Could The New York Knicks Make ANOTHER BIG TRADE Soon!?
Huge win by the Knicks but also kind of expected to Chicago Bulls Chicago Bulls are now 15 and 21 I got to be real with you was really expecting the Knicks to win this game regardless yes the Knicks managed to find a way to make it a
Little bit more difficult than it needed to be but expected nonetheless OG anobi having astronomical plus minus in this game I think he’s plus 56 to start off in his two games as a New York Nick hell demard de R rozan had the game of his life until OG anobi threw him
Immediately into prison Julius Randall having another phenomenal game I think it’s time we start talking about maybe Julius MVP Randall y’all not ready for that y’all not ready for that Jaylen Brunson doing something I’ve been asking and praying for since after his first year being a New York Nick backto back
20 and 10 plus games he had his career high 14 assist on Monday everything looked good Isaiah hartenstein balling out the way that he’s been balling a block machine rebound machine he had seven offensive rebounds in this game which was more than literally every other other player on the Chicago Bulls
Not named Andre Drummond so the Knicks did what they were supposed to do handled business we got a big game on Friday against Philly but what I want to talk about is something that I feel like is on everybody’s mind we just made a very rare December trade I mean it was
At the very end but it’s a December trade nonetheless and it brought us the defensive anchor and and already in his first two games the New York Knicks went from having other teams scoring like this on us to now in these two games scoring like this on us the defensive
Side is figuring itself out with this new accusation but we do need offense but who’s the move going to be somebody big like a Carl Anthony towns or Donovan Mitchell lot to talk about I know this intro is long but we going to get into it right now run the Intro what’s good CK Cru boy ck2k welcome back to another video if you haven’t already subscribe to the channel hit the notification B not forget to like this video people people people big trade just happened o and anobi already off to a great start doing what we’ve
Expected from him in his first two games big test coming up Friday against a very hot Philadelphia Sunny Sixers but for the most part OG’s instant impact has already played its part but now the main thing with OG an anobi is even though the defense is there we’re also seeing
That our scoring is not quite there I mentioned it in the last video I’m waiting to see who’s ultimately going to be that guy that’s going to step up and even if we do have somebody on our team Step Up is it somebody that you can trust consistently I mean do you expect
Quin and Grimes to consistently bring his points up per game in his third season in a lesser role I don’t know Dante dant chenzo has shown signs but then he fizzed out a little bit last night in that game so do you have anybody that you ultimately can trust
That is going to give you those 15 points a game off the bench or give you that other 20 point per game score in the starting unit and I feel like this is the reason why a lot of people are going back to the whole conversation of
The Knicks can’t be done here and that’s the fact the Knicks can’t be done here I mean we know that there is a world where the Knicks most likely might be done here because we’ve seen it in the past where we expect the Knicks have to make
That move before the deadline and then the deadline comes and we’re watching everybody else get moved but nobody going to the Knicks so there is that little bit of fear just a little bit but I don’t think it’s going to be that case I think the New York Knicks have done a
Good job positioning themselves to get somebody but now the question is the magnitude of that somebody because either way we need somebody that’s going to come in here and provide offense while ALS so continuing to allow this team to rise how they have been in the last few games defensively and also
Understand the totem pole of Julius Randall Jaylen Brunson and then everyone else I mean let’s start at the top there’s a lot of names that the Knicks have circled on their notebook as far as starters that they would want to bring on this team I mean we’ve had a love
Affair with New York’s own Donovan Mitchell for a few years now Donovan Mitchell is over there doing his thing in Cleveland but the rider’s on the wall that he does not have a plan to stay with Cleveland going forward so knowing that Donnie wants to be out and more so
Than that you know he wants to be a Nick I mean the dude’s literally at Mets games every summer but that’s neither here nor there there is a lot that could be done between the Knicks and the Cleveland Cavaliers making a move but the problem now is the assets yes we do
Have a good amount of first round picks that can get you Donovan but you’re going to need more than that to get an Allstar level player like Donovan Mitchell I mean hell ever since he’s come into the league he’s been an Allstar scoring beast in the league
Regardless of how you feel about him his height the lack of Defense whatever Donovan Mitchell has been a key component in the league since he been here so to just give up a bunch of draft picks and possibly Evan forier is not going to land you Donovan Mitchell you
Needed a piece like Emanuel quickley or RJ Barrett or both of them to do that and now we flip those for ogan and noi and it makes it seem like it’s a little bit harder to get Donnie it’s not impossible but it’s going to be a lot harder because the Cavaliers are going
To want something in return for him because they don’t want want to completely leave any thoughts or chances they think they have at taking a shot at getting a championship again that’s any thoughts they have and I feel like that conversation also goes to Carl Anthony
Times I want to connect that also want to say this no thank you I would much rather what I have right now with Julius Randall julus Randle I feel like is for whatever reason continues to get disrespected look I was one of the many I’m I’m I’ve never been the craziest
Julius Randle fan but the minute that Julius Randle stopped settling for dumb jump shots stopped settling for threes and started attack back in the paint shooting more efficiently looking to pass a lot more frequently all my worries about Julius Randle have literally been gone yeah he has a few
Knuckleheaded moves but by this time last year D Rand had at least 10 mental breakdowns at this point and coming into this season I can really only remember about two or three of them this year and we’ve had a worse start right now than we did last year so Julius Randle in my
Opinion has done above and beyond where he’s been in the past to be the player that he is right now and I joked in the beginning but his stats and the team’s play and what he’s done don’t lie where we could have a conversation about him at least being in the conversation for
MVP again say that for another video but I’m saying all to say this Cary towns I know it’s a thought out there I know the Knicks are looking into it but I truthfully don’t believe anybody in that front office would be willing to swap Julius Randall for Cary towns just
Because of where Cary towns is from this front office seems to Pride the themselves on the fact that they handpicked Julius Randle from free agency paid him and he’s panning out the way he’s panning out don’t think that they just get rid of that in hopes that
Cary towns all of a sudden remembers how to just consistently be a star each and every night including the playoffs julus Randle to me is literally just one good playoff run from being that guy um that we need to start taking serious as a star as a superstar level player in New
York he just needs to have that playoff run and then that’s about it cuz we know what he does in the regular season but so I’m saying all that to say Cony towns I’m not thinking about him I’m thinking about two stars and that is Donovan
Mitchell I mentioned and I feel like we cannot get with without having to include someone like Julius which I don’t want to do but there’s someone else that I feel like there’s a bigger chance on and that’s Deonte Murray now I’ve wanted Deonte Murray before there was even a Jaylen Brunson in the
Conversation I wanted Deonte Murray before his hair was cut now he’s in Atlanta and it seems like that love affair between dejonte and the Knicks has not gone away the hints are all around about dejonte Murray and the Atlanta Hawks with the combination of him and Trey young I don’t know why
People thought that that was magically going to work it just has not worked for that team and we’ve heard Landry Fields we’ve heard a lot in the front office over in Atlanta talk about wanting to shift things up and I think that the thought process would be to just let
That be Trey Young’s team and whatever that means to them and swapping out Deon Murray for some draft picks and some smaller pieces we can give them more scoring in forier we can give them some more um big depth in Jericho Sims hell we could even give them a guy like
Quenton Grimes who on this team is having a hard time figuring out his role and can go over there and E easily be that two-way that they give up in Kevin herder and on top of that draft picks the dejonte Murray swap is something that is more realistic to me than a
Donovan Mitchell at this set time for people who are just trying to figure out why Knicks fans and the Knicks are so intrigued and Deonte Murray it’s the simple fact that dejonte Murray just adds that extra element that we need right now more playmaking he does not
Drop off at all for us defensively I mean at one point in San Antonio he was one of the better defensive point guards in the league dropped off a little bit since in Atlanta but I’m sure that player is still there when he’s actually playing for something and he’s only
Improved offensively from the field so Deonte Murray definitely would be somebody that fits really well you start him and you also can stagger the minutes between him Dante and Jaylen Brunson at that guard position as the time the night goes on and it makes it a little
Bit easier for Tom Tibido to move around minutes and stuff like that so it just makes sense to go for deante dejonte for me is the big key move for us to go and get and I don’t think it’s as impossible as a move like for Carl Anthony towns
For those who want that or Donovan Mitchell but those are the conversations for any real starters I don’t think that there’s a Zack LaVine conversation anymore I don’t think that’s a realistic thing he’s in and out of the depth charts he’s injured he’s not injured he’s injured he’s not injured and we
Already know about the whole situation doing clutch and I just don’t think that that’s happening there might be still a fire for deardo rosan I mean we saw how deardo rosan played against us he played really well so I know that that fire is probably still there don’t know if the
Knicks really go after that especially since he’s also going to be a free agent a lot like OG anobi so how much do you want to put stock in guys that not might not be here the year after next so I’m not looking at those guys anymore and
There’s no other real names I think that the Knicks can go make a move for but anything is possible I mean we’ve thrown around names like Lori marinin not sure how much realness there is there but those are the starters those are the stars that the Knicks could possibly
Come in and bring to this team that would give us some more offense but also not mess up what we’ve what we’re getting ready to build on our final push into the playoffs this year and for the long term but what if we went towards
Depth to me I feel like if we get some good depth pieces or a good depth score that can also add with OG and and noou in the starting unit with what we got with Jaylen Brunson and Julius Randle I think that that might also be a good
Option I’m talking about other names that can come off the bench that have a history of coming off the bench but also being scorers I know a lot of people are really hooked on to Jordan Clarkson which I think would be a great name especially with how poorly Utah is
Played there might be a world where we can throw them picks cuz they want to stay young to rebuild and you could throw them picks in a forer to get a Jordan Clarkson but also we remember that Jordan Clarkson’s defense is not typically consistent could be definitely
Good especially if he’s going to go out there and give us about 15 16 17 uh on average a night off the bench we should be able to play play around it and be okay but he’s a good option but the names that I’m have circled around um
And I’m a little bit more intrigued in are names like Terry roier I’m looking at Malcolm Brogden and my real Dark Horse Anthony Simons how possible is that Anthony Simons in my opinion I feel like got a raw deal in Portland I think once they drafted scoot Henderson it was
Ultimately written in stone that any possibility of Anthony Simons being the next up with Damen Lillard on his way out was out the window cuz now you instantly draft that guard that’s supposed to be their potential corner piece and ay Simons once again stays in the Wayside and now it gets even worse
Because now Shaden sharp is also appearing to be a potential future star for this team and now that puts amrey Simons even deeper in the depth chart so I feel like there’s a world where you can give this Portland Trail baser team that’s already committed to the rebuild
You give them draft picks give them another shooting vet and forer and you’re able to pry away Anthony Simons who’s getting ready to finish out his deal over there and he can come to this team and instantly be that extra point guard that we need that can help out
Julan Brunson Off the Bench and also provide consistent scoring for this team anony Simons is my Dark Horse where I have my eye on there’s been nothing mentioned about it but I’m keeping my eye on it malcol brogen 2 just does not fit the the landscape of what’s going on
In Portland anymore he’s a vet that’s looking to try and win or be a part of a winning culture when Portland is still rebuilding and figuring themselves out my only beef for malcol brogon I don’t like the contract not a fan of that contract I feel like we can get the same
Thing from the guy that’s across from him in Anthony Simons or even someone like Terry roier I know because he’s on the Charlotte Hornets we don’t tend to think about Terry roier anymore like that Terry roier is just on a organization scoring points that’s about it but I feel like Terry roier is
Somebody that if there’s any type of way to replace what emanu quickly provided for us as a spark as a score ter roer is somebody that I’m interested in still a little skeptical cuz he’s another one of those injury-prone guys he’s another one of those guys that could be a black hole
Defensively but he does give you Knights where he get plays a little aggressive and maybe he buys in mat terroir though too lands in that same spot as Malcolm Brogden in finances but he definitely provides that scoring aspect so those are the depth guys that I’m keeping my
Eye on but I’m telling you guys looking at Anthony Simons I’m keeping my eye on you Mr Anthony Simons a lot of trade pieces a lot of trade possibilities but what says you do you think the New York Knicks set their eyes on getting that other Allstar type player to go into the
Starting lineup to pair up with Brunson in the front court or do you think that the Knicks do look at these disgruntled depth pieces that can give you points off of the bench like the names I mentioned or names that you might have in the chat what says you but ultimately
If the Knicks can want to make this tra But ultimately if the Knicks want to make this OG trade truthfully mean something and make it work where we want to keep him long term and also still be uh Next Step Up from a first maybe second round exit to a possible
Contender in the East the Knicks need to make that move and I do believe we have the assets to do it we either use the assets to get go get us to Dante Murray or we hope and pray that we have enough finances to convince Donovan Mitchell
When he’s a free agent if he doesn’t get traded to a team or he really likes can come and be with the Knicks lot of possibilities but let me know your thoughts about everything in the comments below big win against Chicago but expected talked about trades let me
Know your thoughts about all that if you haven’t already subscribe to channel hit the notification do not forget to like this video I’m out of here I’ll see you guys tomorrow for another play byplay Nicks versus Sixers can’t wait to hear you guys’ thoughts to0 2024 let’s get It I got food up in the FR y’all keep looking for that new way I think I like it how it is
The Knicks beat the Chicago Bulls, but now people are wondering if there is still a move to be made by the team. Could The New York Knicks Make A BIG TRADE Soon!? #CK2K #Knicks #TradeRumors

I would love Simons on this team. But if you think he's coming off the bench that's not gonna happen. He's Portlands #1 option and has averaged 20+ his last 2 seasons his trajectory is going upward. He still has the keys to that team even with Scoot and Ayton. Shaedon Sharpe might be more obtainable then Simons in my opinion. but other than that great video bro always look forward to your content.
this the second video i've seen talking about another knicks trade. if they're able to pull off another trade right after this one, it would be bananas
can't remember any other time when the knicks made so many big time moves 👍
We still Need a legit starting 2 ..between DD, DM or DJM..Move DD to the bench and let him be our new IQ
Hey Ck, because I know my front office, with all the big names and hype around the names that you mentioned, I wouldnt be surprised if they bought back Alec Burks. This front office loves familiarity!!!! I mean they bought back Taj Gibson for crying out loud!!!!!
I agree with not trading Julius for KAT, in fact, I would only consider trading Ju!ius if 76ers underachieve in the playoffs again and Embiid requests a trade (that would be a summertime move though). As far as before the deadline is concerned, Dejounte should be the target, Brogdon should be the pivot.
I really like a Terry Rozier and i believe the hornets would be willing to move off him with our assets that we can offer
Yes to Murray (big yes for what he provides more than Donovan).
If Mitchell is available, he can come as a free agent.
I like what Jordan Clarkson can also add to the bench if we got him for cheap. That helps BIG TIME
They start drafting some players can’t sign everyone
I know that the thinking is to acquire a big man that can bring scoring, but a player of Dejounte Murray ilk is what fits the current crew like a glove! OG and Murray deflecting balls all over the court, getting TO’s and offensive resets are what get you moving towards an Eastern Conference champion. There’s just so much upside to the acquisition. And if you were able to also sweeten the deal to include Saddiq Bey that would be soooo smooove!!! I do like a player like Kevin Huerter for more scoring off the bench.
I've been thinking and Id love Jordan Clarkson to come play with his former teammate honestly… Not a D. Mitch fan dude been out of the first round once right?… And small back courts only go so far CJ and Dame… I love J. Randle wont give up on him regardless of the hate he gets.
Anfernee Simmons would be another bench player or starter would be absolutely ideal, similar to D. Murray! Ppl think that IQ was such an important bench scorer should go look at this kid and beg for him to be gotten! He would be a nuclear scorer for us!
Ricky Rubio just reached a buy out with the cavs do you think we should give him a look as a bench option?
I like that Afrenee Simons scenario. Very interesting 👌🏾
I would love to see Anferny Simon on the Brooklyn nets
So if you can get murray for grimes, fournier, and 2 picks and a 2nd or something I say do that. But don't throw all of our chips in right now. Donte playing great ball and Grimes can get time off the bench. If murray costs too much go get Malcom, terry rozier, or another bench guard to give Brunson time to rest. Under no circumstances do you sacrifice it all for mitchell. He ain't it. Instead……
Guys there's a CAA mafia member on a really suspect team. They were supposed to compete this year but they aren't great. All three stars are making max money, one of them is older and injury prone, one of them doesn't fit and can't stay healthy, and the team doesn't have enough other pieces. They don't have many picks. If they fail this year, it might be over and that player will demand a trade. Can you guess who it is?
Hint: Best sg in the league and a perfect fit on this team.
New sub
Like your Murray take a ton cause im a big fan of his good two way player at the guard slot.
Great vid. Simple we need a bench scorer possibly a wing like Bey with the Murray deal
I never listened to you before but you make a lot of sense D Murray makes the most sense for us because he would take so much pressure off J B and give that fake ass coach Thibs a true legit ball handler and another 20 point scorer
You can always trade OG in the place of IQ. You are not stuck by any means.
6:22 this front office did not sign randle from free agency, that was mills and perry. this front office did extend him tho
Sadiq bey
What about Bones Hyland and Tre mann
Ck we on the same wavelength.. i thought Simon's as well and was wondering why he was not being mentioned anywhere 🤔
I like Spida more than any of the other names. A phrenetic scorer who makes it look easy is what we’ve needed even before the OG trade. Dejounte doesn’t shoot good enough.
The Knicks are going down the path of a mediocre playoff team.
Love Spyda but Hope we get Murray he's better fit and our defence would be lethal with all that length at the 2 and 3 spot
Simmons sounds like a good move.
In feel like Simons would start
You have no idea what you’re talking about 🤣 Portland has handed Anfernee the keys lmao. Ant is our most solid building block and I can guarantee he won’t be traded and if he IS traded, it won’t just be for a few FRP. Why would we trade an up and coming star for a few picks that might not even pan out? lol.
Remember Thibbs was voted the coach players least want to play for, we have that against us.
Julius Randle is raising his stock, he will not be a Knick for long due to politics
I think we should go after Devin Booker or a Zion
No need to trade for anyone unless they’re willing to take Fournier and draft picks let’s just go get Dwight Howard and lance Stephenson they fit perfectly with the roster and we wouldn’t have to trade any players or picks
I’m with it. KAT is a BAN. Don’t want him. Just ask Jimmy Butler.
Randell will shine this coming playoffs
We gotta trade Evan Fournier and multiple first round picks for Mikal Bridges or DeMar DeRozan 🔶️🔷️🏀🗽
We need a Colin Sexton or Terry Rozier
I don’t really see the Murray fit but guess I’m wrong everyone wants him. The only way I’m ok with this trade we just did is if we make another huge move aka Mitchell.
I would love Simons however he would definitely be a starter, he’s averaging 26 this season and 20+ last season
CK, I was unfamiliar with your game. Love the modern editing and fitting it in with Knicks content. Good commentary as well. Subbed. Especially after these fucking WILD Gilbert Arenas takes.
Oh I had to comment again. I was thinking about Simons too yesterday. I'm interested in that move as well. Haven't seen enough of his defense though which gives me pause
MSG would go crazy for Anfernee Simons. That is a good one homie!!
We should go after brogdon and bones Hyland… bones is quickley lite
