MASSIVE Knicks Trade Update – Another Trade With Raptors Incoming? | Knicks News

Many within the New York Knicks organization are interested in trading for Bruce Brown so we have to talk about it so what’s up guys welcome back to Nicks digest it’s Chris here and we’re going to jump right into the video but real quick make sure you’re subscribe to

The channel 85% of viewers are not subscribed and you do not want to miss anything we were posting here we’re posting news rumors Darielle and I are hopping on having fun conversations about the Knicks and just sometimes basketball in general honestly you don’t want to miss it so make sure you’re

Subscribed but let’s just jump right in the Knicks reportedly have internal interest and yet another trade with the r this time for Bruce Brown the combo guard forward who up the Denver Nuggets win the 2023 NBA championship according to Ian Begley of SNY now here’s the deal

Bruce Brown kind of similar to a guy like Josh Hart Who the Knicks already have under contract for a while also while Bruce Brown has a team option at the end of this season I said I didn’t really know what option he had which is true sometimes you just forget things

I’m sorry but look he has a team option at the end of the day the Knicks can opt in and then use him after the season for a trade along with multiple first round picks to net them a star player we just saw Bruce Brown be the Marquee player

Traded for a star we could see that happen again with the Knicks after he spends around six months with the team just trying to help him get as far in the playoffs as possible but again kind of similar to Josh har to where I think there’s other options that could be

Better perhaps like a ter roier maybe even a Tim Hardaway Jr which we’ll get into a little bit right now if you look right here the Knicks are dangling Quinton Grimes Evan for and draft compensation for a potential upgrade the money work out pretty much perfectly that that’s exactly what the Knicks

Would trade for Bruce Brown it would probably be either a few second rounders or one protected first if I had to guess maybe the Mavericks first I think that’s the most likely first rounder for the Knicks to trade but we don’t really know what’s going to happen and I’m not

Exactly sure if Bruce Brown is the best option because the Josh hard thing I mean if you look at Brown stats they’re good I mean he’s putting up 12 points nearly five rebounds gets three assists shoots 47 a half% from the field but he’s only shooting 33% from three is

That bad no by no means is that bad but I don’t know I I think there’s kind of a redundancy with that type of player with the Knicks right now where they could go for someone else who makes a little more sense with the team and if you look here

From Toronto’s perspective it seemed to indicate a shift into rebuilding mode when they traded SE yakum Brown has that $23 million team option and would hit free agency if his team doesn’t exercise it so it’s hard to imagine that he’s with the next contending Raptors team which does make sense the Raptors are

Definitely going to build around Scotty Barnes Emanuel quickly RJ Barrett two of our favorites here at Nick dig just they spent a lot of good years with the Knicks and I’ll always be a fan of them along with yaka purle and a few other pieces and draft compens and the draft

Picks that they’re pulling in now also Raptors are doing this well and the Knicks could help him out give him another first for Bruce Brown I just don’t think Bruce Brown is the guy for the Knicks I feel like I keep denying guys it’s more just I want someone who

Can create their own shot Off the Bench if we’re going to make a trade which I think we should just land a guy who could shoot off the bench bench create shots for himself hopefully for others too that highlights guys like Malcolm Brogden tyry roier I think they’d both

Be perfect for the Knicks and could definitely be a good move for them now if we just take a look here what Ian bangley had to say is that there is some internal interest in going after Bruce Brown the Nicks for is first meeting in free agency now with brown going to

Toronto he might be available and Begley knows there are some people with the Knicks that would love to bring him in ahead of the deadline and by I am going to take a guess that he means one Thomas Tibido because tibs just loves those type of Swiss army knife

Players he loves Josh Hart Bruce Brown and Josh Hart would probably just get all the Nicks bench minutes and the Nicks would go seven deep no I’m kidding but also not fully kidding if I’m being real like let think about it think about it how tibs works there’s not a clear

Backup center option he’s already said Josh Hart can play center in some rotations if Mitch doesn’t come back cuz Mitch will come off the bench Haren Stein’s playing too well and Mitch is going to come off the injury if hartenstein is off the court there is a

Chance that Josh Hart would be the backup center am I kind of kidding yeah I think Mitch is gonna come back and if he does and the Nicks do trade for Bruce Brown I promise you I promise you that once Playoffs begin the Nicks will go

Eight deep and coming off the bench will both be Bruce Brown and Josh hartt along with Mitchell Robinson is that a bad bench shoo no that’s a great bench shooting but the redundancy is crazy that there’s not that much shooting right there so I honestly I think it

Would be kind of funny but I also do not think that’s going to happen in all seriousness I think the Knicks really should Target a Terry roier or Malcolm brogon or even a guy like Tim Hardway Jr if he becomes available cuz the the Mavericks just have a lot of

Similarities between their best players their three best players this season have been Kyrie Luca and Timmy they’re all kind of similar in their own ways they want to score the ball they don’t really play the most defense in the world I could see them making a move now

If we do look right here sorry wrong thing if we look at Quinton grimes’s stats someone who the Mavericks do have interest in he’s averaging seven points two rebounds a game he shoots 39% from the field he’s playing limited minutes he should be playing more he deserves to be

Playing more but you know tibs it’s really just this is a tips thing um I guess Grimes sort of fell out of favor with him Grimes gets the least amount of minutes of anyone who actually plays off the Nick right now he’s frustrated about that and the Knicks are going to move

Him they’re dangling forier they’re dangling Grimes for him as you can see right here according to Michael aado they are dangling those two and draft compensation for a potential upgrade I just don’t think you should go for Bruce Brown because you got Josh Hart there’s enough similarity there go for a guy who

Can really shoot like nearly 40% from three or something go for Malcolm bton like please please go for Malcolm bryton with those with those assets just I’m begging you Nicks please just just please put um put Grimes next to Anthony Simons and Scoot Henderson gives you defense gives you shooting he meshes

Really well with those two he actually could play small forward in a smaller lineup that they use but that that could be fun I think that works they buy out forier forier probably ends up signing with like some one of the teams in LA or something and and then the Trailblazers

Get some draft compensation for it probably in the form of second rounders but you know they get something and they also get Quinton Grimes so kind of a win for them I think that’s what the Knicks should do but if you look right here with the unlikelihood of a blockbuster

Deal materializing until the summer the Knicks according to teams negotiating with New York are focused on acquiring a ball handler and a big man because among other reason among other reasons Mitch’s future remains in flux as they say it’s just just unclear if he’s coming back this season and then you never know

What’s going to happen after that there’s also a willingness to take on multi-year Deals they could be packaged in a later Blockbuster a source said the Mavericks have interest in Grimes the Hawks are positioned to be active before the trade deadline it would be a strong

Fit for if they trade to jante Murray because Grimes could really just replace Murray in that starting lineup right there and there’s no shortage of teams looking for Plug and Play Three and D Wings all of that pretty accurate I would say and I do think that if the

Knicks were to make a trade with the Mavericks who have interest in Grimes you could move forier there I know he’s not as good as Tim Hardway junr but you could sort of replace him with Hardaway in a few lineups you can start Kyrie Grimes and Luca together I mean

Technically Lucas decides for small forward even though he plays more of a point forward Luca donic I run the show because I’m Luca roll which is fine when you’re that good that’s what you do I mean LeBron is a small forward technically but he is constantly playing point guard also so obviously that’s

Fine I think that lineup could work it adds much needed defense perimeter defense to the Mavericks they’ve kind of been lacking in the perimeter defensive area ever since they traded Darian finny Smith and Spencer Den witty to the Nets in exchange for Kyrie so that could be

An interesting move I think the Knicks could definitely go that way it gives you Tim hard Jr Off the Bench you once again get Elite bench scoring through Timmy you get an elite shooter he can create his own shot he’s not the worst passer ever also for a guy who kind of

Plays to his style it would be third didn’t in New York I don’t know how he would feel about that but it is a new regime it’s a new team fully I don’t think there’s anyone on the roster Mitch there’s Mitch like he’s the only one who’s currently on the Knicks roster

Who’s ever been teammates with Tim owa Jr and it was Mitch’s first season when he was a rookie and not really playing much until like he eventually got in the game and we kind of realized that in the 20189 season our 36th overall draft picked the year before was our best

Player but we’ve come a long way since then Julius is a baller and Jaylen Brunson is the greatest thing to ever happened in human history so we got that going for us and make sure to subscribe to the channel or I’ll be sad and that’s really it have a great day go next
