The Knicks have two final roster spots remaining and with Taj Gibson’s 10day contract set to expire soon the Knicks are likely going to add another big man to the roster and according to one NBA Insider Michael Scot he reports that the New York Knicks may be looking to bring
Back a former Nick player in nerland Noel we’re going to break down this report and so much more today if you’re not already subscribed to the channel go ahead and hit that subscribe button now and make sure you have notifications turned on so you don’t miss a second of the new content and
Now let’s get started the New York Knicks are showing interest in former Nick Center nerlands Noel what is the interest from the New York Knicks and former players they sign Taj Gibson then they release him then they sign him again to a 10-day contract then another 10-day contract now they’re
Showing interest in former Nick nerland Noel before I give my opinion on the matter let’s go ahead and break down this report from NBA Insider Michael Scot according to him he notes that nerland Noel is currently drawing interest from a number of teams free agent center nerland Noel has drawn
Exploratory interest from the New York Knicks Houston Rockets and Charlotte Hornets before signing Veteran Center Taj Gibson to a second 10day contract the Knicks checked in on Noel who was liked by coach Tom th and block the career best 2.2 shots per game during the 2020 2021 season Gibson is nearing
The end of his second 10-day contract and would have to be signed for the rest of the season if he’s going to remain with the Knicks shout out to Michael Scot an NBA Insider and of course a friend of the show for giving us this update about the New York Knicks and
Their plans for the rest of the season it’s very clear the New York Knicks have checked in on Newland Noel and as soon as Taj Gibson’s 10day contract expires and they can add another player to the roster I expect them to add nland Noel to this team now hopefully they don’t
Add him for the rest of the season and they just add him on a 10-day contract if they do that I won’t have any problem with it I won’t like it because honestly I’m not a big fan of nerland Noel I don’t like him at all and I don’t like
The fact that his nickname is Butterfingers Noel and there’s a reason for that when he catches the ball in the paint drop drop when he catches the ball in the Baseline drop when he catches the ball nearly anywhere in the court drop turnover or fumble there’s a problem
When he’s on the court and the ball is near him I do not want him near the ball I do not want him catching the ball and honestly if I could help it I do not want him on this team but I understand the assignment I understand the
Situation right now the New York Knicks are down a lot of players we are especially down a lot of players in the front Court we are about to lose Taj Gibson if that’s the case you’re likely going to need another big man who works with Tom tibo and understands his
Coaching and understands his setup New Orleans Noel fits the bill and fits what Tom thibo likely would be looking for and if the Knicks had exploratory interest in adding him to the roster that likely means Tom tho went to Leon Rose in the front office and said Hey
Listen I’m down a couple of players and I know we don’t want to add a lot of players to the roster cuz we’re very deep but we need to add somebody right now because of the injuries it would not surprise me at all if he said that and
Voiced his opinion to try to add one of his favorite players in nland Noel back to the roster and I think it’s only a matter of time before we hear that announcement that Taj Gibson has been gone from the New York Knicks because they’re not going to add him to another
Contract because they don’t want to sign him for the rest of the year and they’ve signed Center nerland Noel for a 10-day contract they’re going to repeat this process likely until they get healthier and once they get healthier and they can add a number of players back they’re
Likely not going to add any more players from the buyout Market they’re going to rock with what they have and as soon as they get fully healthy and get everybody back they’re going to be deep they’re going to be dangerous and no team in the
NBA is going to want to deal with this Nicks team in a seven game series I bet everything on that honestly speaking the major issue here for the New York Knicks is Isaiah hartenstein and his health because if they feel hartenstein and his health is going to be good and not going
To be a problem moving forward they’re likely not going to add Noel they’re likely not going to add anybody because after the All-Star break they’re going to get back Dante de vinchenzo they’re gon to get back Isaiah hartenstein so I think because of that I think it’s going
To alter who they add to this roster it’s all going to be about his health if hartenstein cannot go or they’re fearful about his health or that Achilles injury then they’re likely going to bring him back slowly and they’re going to need more front Court depth they’re going to
Need more help there and that’s why nland Noel may make sense in that regard so that’s the concern there it’s all about Isaiah if he’s good to go nland will not be part of this team if he’s not the exploratory interest and the fact that the Knicks checked in on him
Makes a lot of sense and means that the New York Knicks are likely going to add him given the situation and the circumstances as they move forward the Knicks are probably going to play it on a day-to-day basis because you’re not going to know really an update for the
New York Knicks right away you’re going to have to wait hear from the doctors hear from the medical staff and then wait to get a recommendation an opinion on what you should do next go to the buyout market and add another player or wait because you’re going to have enough
Depth coming that you’re not going to need to do that it’s going to be very interesting to see what the New York Knicks do but if we’re looking at history and we’re looking at these reports and we’re looking at the fact that neans Noel is a free agent he’s
Likely going to be a lowcost addition and Tom Fido definitely favors him likes him and the Knicks have checked in on him it’s seeming more and more likely that the New York Knicks are going to add nland Noel just in temporary fashion to help this Knicks team float to the
Next game the next day until they get more healthy once that happens players are not going to be playing that many minutes they’re going to get more rest we’re going to have more depth and then that’s when you’re going to see this Knicks team in full force full force
Focus and that’s when you’re going to be able to judge this team that’s when you’re going to be able to say wow this is what this Knicks team can do because on paper we have fixed the shooting we have fixed the spacing we have more size
We have more depth and right now this Nicks team is the most dangerous team and the most dangerous it’s been in maybe a decade and this team can likely be consistently deadly over the next few seasons that’s what makes this Knicks team so so good I am so happy to be a
Fan right now what a time to be alive the Knicks are fourth in the Eastern Conference they’re only a few games behind Cleveland for that second seed in the East everything is looking up for the New York Knicks we have all the assets that we could possibly need to
Make a superstar trade this off season what could you possibly need as a Nick fan now to not be happy to not be encouraged to not be excited going in to basically the second half of the season after Allstar break I am so pumped I am
So hyped and I am so excited and the more healthy the Knicks get the more excited I’m G to be but if the Nick sign nland Noel even if it’s for a 10-day contract it’s going to hurt my excitement just a little bit Butterfingers Noel is not somebody I
Want to see on the Knicks on the Knicks bench or anywhere near this team or on this roster but because he’s a Tom tho favorite because Taj Gibson’s 10-day contract is again coming to an end and they’re not going to sign him for the rest of the season nerland Noel is real
He’s a real option and the Knicks checked in on him if the Knicks are checking in on people that means it’s serious and it potentially means that Noel may be a Nick sooner rather than later but what about you guys what do you think about this report that nerland
Noel could eventually be a New York Nick again this season let me know in the com comments Below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode I hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead

He was good the last time; it just was was hurt All the time.
Cwc- what's up with all these old f*** vet! I'm tired of this stupid sh*t and u see why the media clowns us.
Omg. They need to stop bringing back these former Knicks. Knicks need to go give boogie cousins a shot to resurrect his career or Dwight Howard
He not as bad as people think he is in receiving the basketball and he did a good job filling in for Mitch the first time he was a NY Knick.
😂
He has a reputation obviously for having bad hands.
Hell yea bring him back
It's not his hands it's his knees 😮
I love Nerlens Noel one top Center/Power Forward in New York Knicks 😊
This gotta be a joke
Lord I guess they haven’t learned from the ALEC Bricks Trade 🤦🏾 Now they going after another one , this team is getting worse and worse by the minute , with all the players that were out there they get Burks , now they want Noel , we’re going back to the nightmare years , this is the dumbest front office I’ve seen in years , everybody they have signed are all hurt , is anybody gonna hold Thibs accountable for all the injuries ? What was Randle doing on the floor in a blow out game , why they didn’t check on OG to make sure he was healthy , why is the coach playing our main guys so many minutes when we’re about to go into playoff mode ? 🤦🏾🤦🏾
While they at it they should bring back Frank Shittykina and Emmanuel Bootiay!!!
No way I’m all set with him. It’s gonna be a huge mistake and nobody sees that the one person I already signed with Philly anyway.
Hey i will take him to help until fully healthy he may drop the ball but the one thing he has is blocking and thats what was missing the most last 4 games
Taj Gibson was a good player once upon a time, but he’s passed his prime and he can’t keep up anymore and that’s not to take away from anything he’s done we should be looking at someone like Dwight Howard who still has gas left in the tank
That’s exactly what they’re gonna do even though it’s a stupidest move they could ever do they need somebody who can actually play not Butterfingers
Hands of stone… no thanks
Idgaf what any Knicks’ fans said, Nerlens would deff help us and he would be a better option than Taj Gibson who’s literally 60 years old in basketball years.
Bring back Elfrid Payton too lol 😂
Why so he can play 10 minutes and get hurt , there other options out there , Lopez is much better and sure takes up space and rebounds
Would you rather have Lopez or noel
Salute Knicks recap Nolan's Noel he's going to play defense and he's going to rebound I don't like the nickname Butterfingers respect one
Don't we have to have a certain number of players on the roster by end of year
King knick has spoken 🏀🏀🏀🏀🏀🔥
I don’t care for him either, but there aren’t a lot of choices out there. Glad to see that you finally replaced Grimes image with Randall.
Use Taj Gibson on the bench as a future assistant coach and pick up Noel and Kyle Lowry for playoff insurance.
Mo Hands Noel is what I remember him by. But a 10 day contract is fine because most of our front court will be back by then.
I wouldn't mind. It's not like we need offense from him. Just need him to defend, rebound and protect the paint as much as he can. The real issue is we need a legit backup pg.
I mean Taj Gibson is getting older, and he’s been looking gassed in his minutes, respect to him, but if the Knicks get Noel, he’s still younger, and is slightly younger then Taj, so if he’s healthy, which I assume he is, and he helps for a time being til the main centers come back, wouldn’t mind Nerlens Noel coming back to the Knicks for a couple of days at all.
Noel is great but his knees are shot!😢
I wonder where Pablo Pajoni is
I wanted Lowry as backup pg
We should've traded for Drummond
why isnt boogie cousins being talked about at all……..
if you think about it that would be a decent move. we dont need him for offense and the last time he played for us between him and mitch they were giving out block parties. we have our offense with him he can protect the paint for the average centers and grab rebounds thats all we need from him and that would work and still make us a dangerous team while we wait for Mitchy and Iheart to return. I'm wit it
Don't need Noel stop bringing old washer out players Noel isn't good he was not good when we lost the series against Atlanta he's too fragile. There are better options ot
Out there
Taj Gibson didn't help a bit
Nerlens Noel is only 29 years old plus he knows Thibs system and can easily get acclimated without any dependencies to learn the playbook. At 6’11 he can definitely help out at the 5 position and allow Pachiuwa to play the 4 and Sims to backup at 5 and not run players to ground. That said this will also allow Jacob Toppin to get more playing time so team is not tired out during games. NYKs FO the sooner they work Noel’s out quickly sign the better so after break he is ready to go
Stop bringing back these players we didn't want to pay or keep in the first place. Gibson needs to retire and stay there. He was good for us during those years tho.
Man you really need to chill. "What a time to be alive?" Really? You're that amped up over a damn basketball team? Go find you a girl bro. Because it really ain't that serious!! 🤦🏾♂️😏🤦🏾♂️
Noel plays hard mang. Just don't burn him to the ground. 🤷
