MASSIVE Report Reveals Knicks Trading for ELITE Backup Guard… | Knicks News

After the Knicks traded for OJ on anobi the Knicks are still in the train market and I’m here to break it all down all that and much more on the Knicks digest what’s up guys it’s your boy Dario from Nick digress and I want to get right

Into today’s video so earlier today we actually had a tweet from a Nick beat riter Chris Pearson in that says the Knicks have explored the option of trading for guard Malcolm brogon at least one other East Conference playoff team has been in contact with Portland about the veteran guard brogon is

Represented by clutch Sports now that’s very interesting to me because Chris and I in one of our most recent videos this was actually a topic of conversation we were talking about one of the glaring holes that are that is on this roster and that is the backup point guard of

Course the other glaring hole is the backup big man Mitchell Robinson being out for the rest of the season Isaiah hardstein is not going to be the main uh big man Jericho Sims just came back from from his rolled ankle but other than the big man problem that we have the backup

Point guard is is one of if not the worst problems that the Nicks have Duce McBride right now is the point guard coming off the bench and Chris and I were basically saying that like we don’t really feel confident with that and we said that the Knicks should be in the

Trading Market looking for a veteran point guard to help Jaylen Brunson whenever he needs rest no offense to Deuce obviously they just signed him to that contract extension I believe it was three years for 16 million congratulations to Deuce salute but as a Nick fan Duce doesn’t have the playoff

Experience we don’t know How duce is going to play with with those minutes and responsibility of those minutes it’s a different type of level whenever you get different responsibilities right now Duce McBride is looked at to play in spot minutes and sometimes in garbage minutes but when he’s when he’s going to

Be put into the game when coach tibs really needs him or when Jaylen Brunson needs a breather and it’s I don’t know six minutes left in the second quarter those aren’t garbage minutes those are’t spot minutes those are B those are minutes with responsibility you need to

Be able to weather the storm you need to be able to help the other players out put the other players in the right position and that’s a lot of responsibility and as far as right now Nick fans we don’t know if Duce McBride has that capability no offense to Deuce

Once again we love you we love how you how hard you play and how hard you work but with this report with Malcolm brogon being interest well the Knicks being interested in Malcolm Brogden it does it does sound very very intriguing and as far as Malcolm Brogden this season take

A look into his numbers 15.7 points three and a half rebounds 5 and a half assists 43 3.8 field goal percentage and shooting 41% from three now those numbers are I don’t want to say fudged if you will but Malcolm brownon right now is playing for the Portland

Trailblazers and he was traded to Portland from Boston it was him and Robert Williams being traded for Drew holiday those stats right now Malcolm bram’s kind of playing empty empty games Portland Trail beers they’re not going anywhere any anytime soon they have amazing pieces Anthony Simons sco Henderson amazing pieces shanon sharp as

Well got out throw him in there but Malcolm Bron right now at this point he’s looked at as more of a I guess a leader and just trying to show the young guys how to go about your day in the NBA how to go about your day as a

Professional basketball player and he’s just showing he’s just showing the he’s he’s a teacher try Bops is definitely looking him as a teacher and right now in Malcolm brockton’s you know career I’m assuming that he wants to be on a winning team I’m not saying that he’s

That he’s like he’s hating Portland and he doesn’t want to play for try but I’m I’m pretty sure that he would rather be on a winning team so with this uh with this link to the New York Knicks it’s definitely very is very very interesting

Now as a Nick fan the only thing that I might have some reservation about is if there’s one thing that’s been sticking to Malcolm brogon for the last few seasons is the injury-prone tag whenever you have an injury-prone tag that’s always going to scare fans that’s always

Going to scare teams now if we take a look into the last few seasons last season playing with the Boston Celtics he played 67 games 67 games great High number out of the 82 games the season before that he’s looking at 36 games with the with the Indiana Pacers the

Season before that again with the Indiana Pacers 56 games and the season before that 54 games and if we go all the way back to the 2017 2018 season he only played 40 games now I also I was also doing some research as far as his injury history and in that season it

Looked like he had a torn left quadricep tendon which I think was the worst injury he had or the most severe if you will a lot of his injuries are sore right calf sore left ankle uh left hamstring soreness uh concussion a hip soreness um Achilles soreness so he

Hasn’t torn his Achilles he hasn’t torn torn his his ACL so I think the torn left quadrip tendon is the most severe injury he has so he has that going for him but it’s just the amount of injuries that he has and the amount of times that

He has not been available is something to definitely keep your eye on and if you’re a Nick fan is something to be to be hesitant about so prior to last season he was ranging in between the 35 to 55 games um being out for uh different types of injuries calf

Injuries uh I believe he had a shoulder injury as as well so last season playing 67 games with the Bost and Celtics was definitely something to look forward to but of course when the playoffs came around he wasn’t playing coach moula wasn’t playing Malcolm Brogden and it

Was because of an injury I believe and as the Boston Celtics went deeper into the playoff run malcol brogon wasn’t playing now some of it could be due to rotations but I’m pretty sure I heard a report that malm Brock was injured I believe it was an ankle or something

With his foot so that kind of does scare Nick fans and we don’t know if we’re going to be able to depend on this guy now the one good thing is that he would be a backup point guard so we’re not going to be depending we’re not going to

Be relying on him so much and if we do get him and then he’s not able to go then Duce McBride is gonna have to pick up the slack but I could also say that that’s kind of what Boston Celtics were I I’m pretty sure that’s what they were

Thinking they had the injury the injury prone tag in their mind they were saying like we’re not going to depend on him for a starting point guard he’s going to be coming off the bench but when the playoffs came they actually did need him because Boston Celtics Jason Tatum

Jaylen Brown they they looked like they were losing they were winded towards the end of the games and balcon Bren wasn’t there so what if he comes to the Knicks and the same thing happens and we I don’t know the exact pieces that we

Would be we would give it away I mean I know we have dra draft picks in the stash that we could give give away I’m not sure if I would give up any a first round draft pick for Malcolm brocken I’m not sure I would do that but depending

On the picks like and depending on the players or player that we give up I’m not sure that I would say I’ll would be confident in trading for Malcolm Brockton now later on tonight the Knicks are playing Philadelphia 76ers and then playing the Behemoth of Joel embiid I’m

Very interested to see how Isaiah hardenstein plays against Joelle but with this report coming out earlier today now I’m going to keep my eye on Duce McBride I’m going to see how coach tips implements him in the game what quarter he comes in how many minutes

Left in the quarter I want to see how he’s gonna start using um Duce McBride and I’m also gonna see how du McBride plays with these amount of minutes with the new responsibility that dece McBride has I’m gonna I’m basically going to be grading him and um I know it’s not fair

To grade him on one game but I’m going to have Malcolm Bram in my mind to see where he would be better at than Duce McBride there might be a certain situation in tonight’s game where Malcolm brownon we could look at and be like you know what we could definitely

Use a veteran point guard here he would actually know how to use the clock he would actually know how to set up this player so tonight’s game is definitely going to be interesting with this report coming out so that’s it for today’s video guys I want to say thank you so

Much for checking out the video leave it in the comments let me know what you guys think as far as this report and the next being linked to Malcolm Brockton are you for it are you against it are you a little hesitant let me know and

I’ll check you out in the next video guys peace
