MASSIVE Dejounte Murray TRADE Update – Knicks Blockbuster Trade Coming? | New York Knicks News

Jeante Murray’s story has been developing as of yesterday he was able to be traded so we have to break this all down what’s up guys welcome back to ni digest it’s Chris here and we are going to jump right into the video but very quickly make sure you’re subscribe

To the channel 86% of viewers are currently not subscribed and we want to get those numbers up or both the subscription numbers up close to 4K we got to do it but let’s just jump right into the video because the New York Knicks are very much looking at De

Murray is a realistic option to trade for and we have to sort of break this all down because we know that this has been a thing now that Deon Murray is officially trade eligible it is important to discuss everything about the dejon Murray topic so if we just look right

Here according to wo who is pretty active on Instagram threads he said the Hawks are absolutely open for business on trades and the general manager Landry Fields former seems to be determined to make changes to that roster and also if you look here Jake fiser said that the Knicks aren’t

Done they still saved all their first rounders they have Evan forier in stock because they could use basically expiring deal to get someone good or at least use it for money purposes they could get back an old friend like Alec Burks they’re going to be involved into deante Murray talks there’s plenty of

Point guards out there if they want to open up some not even a Point are just someone to handle the ball because we know that the Knicks sort of have a weakness there however Duce McBride did just go off against the Philadelphia 76ers hit four threes that was electric

So maybe Duce is finding his rhythm in the Knicks won’t need another ball handler but clearly they’re looking for some more depth and someone who definitely can be a consistent offensive option Off the Bench with the departure of Emanuel quickly so they’re they’re going to need to go out there and find

That and it’s unclear exactly who that’s going to be we know they’re interested in to jonay Murray it’s pretty unclear if they’re interested in a guy like a Jordan Clarkson or someone like that who maybe it would cost the first rounder to get to get but it does really beef up

Your bench option personally I don’t love that idea I really don’t want to give any first round picks up unless they’re gunning for a star at this point now without RJ without IQ the best way that they can get a real huge blockbuster trade done is to use all

Their firsts so I really really hope that they do not just like start giving a few away for bench PE for bench pieces I don’t think that makes sense I’d rather just go and use forer’s contract in some second rounders maybe get a lower end guy but at the end of the day

We need to see what the Knicks need and we’re not going to know that until they get into the playoffs really but they’ve been great with anobi so far I don’t think they need to give a major shake up to this roster so that should all just

Be kept in mind and if you look here when it comes to Jean Murray who is the topic of this video Chris Haynes said that he does believe that deante Murray will likely be traded by the deadline that’s his belief I’m sort of inclined to agree clearly the Hawks want to make

Some moves whatever’s happening right now is not working for the Atlanta Hawks and they need to continue or they need to stop continuing on this path because right now it feels like they believe that Trey young can be the best player on a championship team and whether he

Can or he can’t he cannot with this roster it doesn’t work the Murray experiment failed it was either going to succeed or it was going to fail because they two pass not pass first point guards but two point guards who want to be making the plays with the ball in

Their hands which is sort of my fear about getting to Jon Murray I know a ton of Knicks fans are super in on it but I don’t know if I want brunson’s touches being given up to a starter like deante Murray where instead you could just kind

Of give him a few less minutes in the regular season I don’t think tibs will do that but I do think that’s the right move for the Knicks put the ball in the hands of guys like Josh Hart like Quinton Grimes like de McBride bring him

Off the bench and I think it’ll be fine for the short term but we know that that’s not something that tibs does he doesn’t really use the bench that much to begin with and brunson’s probably going to continue to play Heavy minutes so it would be good

To get someone who could just handle the ball because that’s definitely been a problem so if you take a look here the Knicks and the Lakers are two teams that are very much interested for Deon Murray they are consistently mentioned and obviously we’re not going to talk about

The Lakers Lakers digest can do that but basically according to a Bleacher Report article there’s an issue for the Knicks as tis’ Squad doesn’t have many players who can initiate the team’s offense besides Brunson and Randall which we were sort of just talking about in two games since the Elby trayed this was

Before the game against 76ers obviously the bench is averaging just 18 points per game which is the worst Mark in the league if New York is attempting to chase a Big M big name one option could be the Atlanta Hawks point guard de jante Murray he’s widely available for

Opposing teams looking for back cour help ahead of the deadline according to Jake fiser and if you just keep going with this article you’ll also see the fit along side Brunson should would be a challenge since both players prefer to have the ball in their hands tibs could potentially stagger the minutes between

The two of them in order to improve the bench’s efficiency I don’t like that why would we give up four first round picks forier is expiring and really that like we’re going to give up four we’re going to give up three first rounders a pick Swap and four knes expiring deal for

Deonte Murray just for his minutes to get staggered with the rest of the starting lineup that doesn’t make sense he is a starting level point guard he is not a starting shooting guard he is a starting point guard the Knicks should not do this this does not make sense if

You want someone who can initiate offense use some second rounders you still have 11 or 12 second round picks left they also still have for deal they can acquire some lower level guy to come off the bench if they really want to beef up their offensive ability coming

Off that bench unit which I think they should but it shouldn’t be through getting to jante Murray and then staggering his minutes with the rest of starters I don’t personally think that makes any sense in in the world Deonte is clearly a great player who deserves

To be making the plays on a team I think he makes more sense for the Lakers even though I don’t think that makes sense also I think there’s plenty of teams that could trade for Deonte Murray I honestly sort of believe that he’s not going to get traded to neither the

Knicks nor the Lakers despite the fact that the Lakers are a minus 115 favorite and the Knicks are plus 105 easily the teams with the two highest likelihoods to get him according to the odds but if you look at it I could really see some random team

Swooping in and getting to jonay Murray I think the Lakers are going to be more focused on shot creating and I think the Knicks will too because that’s what both of those teams need and so I really don’t think that they’re going to say okay we need shot creation let’s go out

And get a defensive playmaker no that doesn’t make any sense especially for the Knicks when they have a plethora of picks I don’t think the move is let’s get to jeon Murray let’s cash in on those let’s cash in on a guy who might not make sense who we just saw play with

An offensive-minded point guard and we watched that experiment fail miserably after the Hawks were an Eastern Conference Finals team two and a half years ago no they regressed the Hawks didn’t like it they traded for Murray and now it has failed I don’t think the Knicks should look at a failed

Experiment be like okay well maybe it’ll work for us no I don’t think it will work and I honestly don’t think the Knicks are going to do it part of the reason why Leon Rose and clutch sports are sort of at odds right now I think or

And they’re trying to mend this I do think is because of dejon I think the Knicks are interested in him I think they’re gaing his value but I don’t think the Knicks are going to go out and basically make a trade that is going to hinder the ability to get any other star

Player to the team right now they would probably rather make two Blockbuster moves which they definitely can do using their picks and some guys on the roster right now such as maybe Josh Hart who I love Josh but maybe it doesn’t make the most sense in the world to still have

Hart now that you have oan and Obi it seems like someone who theoretically could be traded but he’s not trade eligible until next summmer so in June or July once free agency hits they could trade Josh hard also for contract purposes once for’s contract goes the Nicks should totally do that instead of

Say to themselves let’s just Bank on dejon Murray working for us in a way that it didn’t work for the Hawks who also H play through their point guard that makes no sense do not do that I don’t get it if you look here obviously de jante maray remains a player the

Knicks are interested in acquiring League sources set according to Michael Scot so clearly there is a world where a lot of people are in the Knicks organization are interested in Deonte Murray I’m not within the Knicks organization but within the digest media organization or the Nicks digest organization specifically guess what I’m

Not interested and it’s nothing to do with d jante as a player obviously he hasn’t been as good with the Hawks he’s only averaging around 20 and five compared to the 219 and8 that he averaged in his final season with the Spurs but that’s what happens when you

Take the ball out of a playmaking point guard’s hands who likes to attack the rim the Knicks just fixed their Court spacing and it looks great there’s a reason why they’re three and 0 since the OG trade let’s not screw up that Court spacing I know that Deonte Murray shoots

38.6% from three that is not fallen on De ears for me but I don’t know if that is a sustainable amount with the Knicks the Knicks would ruin their course facing instantly I love this starting lineup I’m I I don’t think they’re an NBA Finals Contender believe me but

Right now Brunson D venzo on anobi Julius Randle Isaiah hartenstein is one of the most fluid and and like well-fitting starting fives in basketball you have everything you have a star player in Jaylen Brunson you have a secondary star in Julius Randall both of whom can go for 30 on any given night

And often do go for 30 Brunson is an elite elite NBA shooter Dante D venzo is an elite spot up shooter for the Knicks who can also create his own shot to a bit of a degree and is a solid Defender ogan and Obi should sh 37% from three

And is an elite Defender he challenged embiid at the rim and won on defense embiid went to try to dunk on him and OG just put his body on the line and forced embiid to miss a dunk he’s a small forward doing that that is insane don’t screw with this lineup don’t instantly

Try to make more changes see how this works go into the playoffs see what happens if you lose early because of a glaring issue then you know what to fix don’t go and make a second move that you’re not sure how it’s going to work and if it’s going to poorly affect the

Knicks and then also ruin our chances at another star player I think that would be idiotic by the front office to do I am not a fan of the Knicks making another major shake up in season they did it once right now and I’m good I’ll

Pass I do think they should make a trade in valin forier heal just to get Evan forier some minutes if nothing else but really to bring some sort of shot creation to your bench it doesn’t have to be a highle guy doesn’t even have to

To be a Jordan Clarkson it needs to be someone that for 10 minutes a night can sort of create their own shot and create open looks for other guys that’s it that’s all you need it’s not that much they can do that and they should do that

And that’s the only other inseason trade that they should make wait until the off season W just said the Knicks are going to go for basically any star who becomes available go for a star then don’t don’t wait or don’t don’t rush rushing would be the worst move for the Knicks right

Now and I really hope that don’t do that thank you for tuning in guys make sure to like And subscribe to the Channel all that good stuff turn those post notifications on once again I’m going to show it subscribe to Nick digest have a great day and go Nix
