New Knicks TRADE Targets REVEALED…



New Knicks TRADE Targets REVEALED…

With the trade deadline coming up fast the Knicks are rumored to be linked to another Utah Jazz player and I’m here to break it all down all that and much more on the Nick digest what’s up guys it’s your boy Dario from Nick digest and let’s get right into today’s video

Yesterday’s Sports Illustrated reporter Jared Kos came out with an article talking about a Utah Jazz player that’s going to be linked to the New York Knicks and yeah we’re talking about Kelly oen so if we dive into the article itself he proposed a trade that would

Send Kelly Al linck and T Horton Tucker to the Knicks and the Knicks would have to give up Evan Fier and the 2024 first round pick to the Utah Jazz now at first glance looking at this Mack tray the first thing that jumps out to me is that

First round pick am I sure I want to give up a first round pick for Kelly OIC and tan Horton Tucker I’m not too sure if it was just Evan Fier and if it was just one of the two players Tay Horton Tucker or Kell olenic I might be a

Little bit more so into it but with that first round draft pick man I’m not sure if I’m willing to give it up for the caliber of player of Kelly oen and tellen horen Tucker Kelly oen right now looked at as a veteran player who can definitely provide that uh veteran

Leadership to players and to young players but at this point of his career he’s absolutely looking for an opportunity to win I’m not saying that if he comes to the Knicks he’ll be okay with the trade because we have an opportunity to win a championship because even though we’re at a good even

Though we’re at a good stage right now we still have significant pieces that we need to add to the roster but as far as Kelly oen if I was him I would definitely be ecstatic um right now the Utah Jazz they’re in a rebuilding retooling mode uh the leader of the team

Is Lori marinin but there’s been rumors that he’s been linked to Oklahoma City Thunder and if they’re able to land lauel marinin with that with that young up and cominging roster that’s going to be crazy but as far as Kelly oen and the and the Knicks Kelly oen would

Definitely be more happier with the Knicks than the Utah Jazz um the knck I feel like they’re in a better position especially being in the east in the East there’s really only maybe like two maybe three teams you got Philly you got Milwaukee and you definitely got Boston adding Kelly o to

The team would definitely be it would definitely be a plus from the standpoint of just adding bodies and adding rotational players you know people that you can definitely depend on for giving you NBA minutes and being a professional basketball player cuz right now even though the reports about richell

Robinson coming back towards the end of the season are very optimistic if you add Kaleo lenck to the team that’s another the big body he can definitely substitute for mitell Robinson at the five and give it Isaiah hardenstein definitely a break and now that I’m thinking about it in real time

Kelly o lenck when he’s able to provide we know that if you’re a basketball head if you’re a hoop head you know that he can spread the floor he could definitely step behind the line and hit the three but I was watching the highlights uh last night of the Lakers and the Utah

Jazz game where Utah beat the Lakers LeBron wasn’t playing but they still had ad D’Angelo Russell cam reddish vanderbel Christian Wood Austin Reeves and the Lakers still lost that’s another story that’s the Lakers are nightmare right now but as far as the highlights when I was watching Kelly oen he I saw a

Lot of highlights where he grabbed the rebound he brought the ball up the floor and there were numerous times where he was setting up the plays for other players there was one particular highlight where he threw a alyu from the three-point line and I forgot the player’s name but with seeing that

Highlight the next thought that I had was Isaiah hardenstein and Kelly oen if we have those two bigs rotational bigs and Isaiah harinstein has been able to to show off his offensive prowess as far as creating plays for others in addition to having that little floater in the in

The paint wherever somebody else is setting him up that’s where Mitchell Robinson again doesn’t have that capability the only thing that Mitchell Robinson is able to do as of as of right now is he’s he’s one of if not the best rebounder in the game offensively and

Defensively and you can do definitely do Aly oops he’s more of a defensive anchor Kelly oen and Isaiah harinstein they’re not really defensive anchors maybe you can make the argument for Isaiah harinstein but Isaiah harinstein and Kelly oen what they’re able to do that Mitchell Robinson isn’t is they have a

Little bit more to their offensive game which of course in the playoffs which the Nicks right now the Knicks the only the only goal that we have right now is to try and see how we could further ourselves to go deeper into the playoffs but in the playoffs the more players

That you have on the court that can create for others or create for themselves that’s always going to be a plus and if we dive into Kelly o Linux numbers right now for the Utah Jazz she’s averaging eight points uh 5.2 rebounds 4.5 assists uh converting 55%

From the field and 42.9 which we can Round Up to 43% from three point now anytime a player is averaging from 39 to 45% of threep Point that’s definitely looked at as a plus and seeing how Kelly oen is averaging 43% that’s definitely a plus the only thing with Kelly oen that

I’m not a huge fan of is like I get I understand what he’s able to provide but I just I just I don’t know man something about him and maybe it’s just that he’s he’s just not as athletic and then when you go into the playoffs and

You go deeper into the playoffs the caliber of players that you’re playing it just increases the intensity increases like let’s say the Knicks go up against Philadelphia and you got Isaiah horenstein starting at the five right but then Kelly olenick is obviously going to be the Big Man Behind

Um Isaiah hardstein if Mitchell Robinson doesn’t come back then you got Kelly o matching up with Joel embiid Joel embiid is going to absolutely cook him Isaiah hardenstein might do a better of a job on embiid but I don’t know man that’s just one of my that’s just one of my G

Lenck he’s just not as athletic and I just feel like he he would definitely get taken advantage of and just be abused by the other bigs in the NBA the other player that’s included in this mock trade is ton hor and Tucker and if you take a look at the numbers here for

T horn and Tucker we got 11 points two 2.5 rebounds 4.2 assists shooting 41% from the field and 33.3% from three-point converting 78% of his free throws now if you remember ton H and Tucker he was actually a part of that Laker team that won the championship in the bubble and again

Just a little a little tidbit about the Lakers in my personal opinion I don’t know what the hell they’re doing ever since they won that championship in the bubble or the bubble Championship I don’t know what they’re doing man they had an amazing team with Caruso

Obviously ad Ron J.R Smith was on that team Rondo was the start was the starting point guard I believe they just had a lot of players and pieces that fit what ends up happening LeBron wants a particular play on his team and at this point he wants Russell Westbrook and

They end up trading they end up trading a lot of pieces in order to get Russell Westbrook now the Russell Westbrook experience obviously didn’t work out and the Lakers ever since they’ve been they’ve been a mess honestly what I like about tlor hor and Tucker if you take a

Look into the graphic uh the positions that he plays he’s a shooting guard but he’s also playing point guard and right now one of the biggest questions that we have is Jaylen Brunson starting point guard but who’s going to be that point guard coming off the bench to give

Brunson a breather right now in this moment is Duce MC McBride and even though Duce has been playing well as of late you can tell that the Knicks are giving him more responsibility and they’re actually wanting to see what he can provide to the team but what’s going

To happen when the playoffs come around are Nick fans is the Nick’s organization are they going to be comfortable with giving Deuce those type of minutes or if we if we if we actually entertain this mock trade and we do get Kelly Ock and we do get Telly horn Tucker now we have

Somebody that’s a little bit more uh proven in his NBA career to back up a Brunson ton horn Tucker he’s a bigger body um I do want to say that he’s a little bit more athletic there there have been instances and he’s shown highlights of him being able to explode

And and attack the rim um he does have a nice ball handling skill um he could shoot the three even though in the graphic it does say that he’s shooting 33% from the field he has the ability to shoot that three but right now one of my

Main one of my main concerns is just who’s going to be backing up Brunson now if this mock trade doesn’t end up happening I’m very interested to see who Leon Rose is going to be targeting at the trade deadline there’s been a lot of rumors with the Utah Jazz different

Players in this video I’m talking about Kelly lck and Taylor horen Tucker but one of my previous videos I was actually talking about there’s another mock trade between Jordan Clarkson and Colin Sexton now e these four players being linked to the Knicks I don’t know man whatever there’s whatever there’s fire there’s

Smoke or whatever they’re smoked as fire I’m not sure what that saying is I think I messed it up but you guys catch my drift but that’s going to be it for today’s video guys leave it in the comments let me know what you guys think

About this mock draft Kelly oen and T horen Tucker for Evan fornier and and a first round draft pick are you guys for it or not leave it in the comments and we’ll check you out on the next video peace

  1. KO won’t get any minutes under Thibs playing traffic cone defense. He’ll just be a taller version of Fournier sitting on the bench waiting for a salary dump trade

  2. Make the kids play.Duce and Grimes more touches and more games they will get better offensively. Need to give Flynn a chance played good last night good ball handler and passer. Had the team moving good

  3. NO!! PERIOD!!!!! So we are just adding bodies???? That makes no sense!!! Even Fornier is not playing because he cannot defend. Kelly Olynyck CAN????? Since when????? We can do better for Fornier's contract…….

  4. PLEASE NO THT!! We have good chemistry and team play right now. THT is allergic to passing the ball. We don't need that on our team
