Insider Wants Knicks To Make MEGA TRADE For Kevin Durant… (TKR Live) | Knicks News

ESPN did release a list I saw you comment on it and you know I have to bring it up uh KD was on that list and I remember at the time you uh You released a tweet at the time and a lot of people Mark they miss the first half of it like they always do they look at the the thing that always elicits the most clicks and they forget to look at the part that creates that right so you started off the Tweet by stating Scott Perry once told you that the Knicks it’s about winning one title to snap a drought not a dynasty so you trade draft capital and Julius Randle for Kevin Durant Nicks have two first round is obvious this year 24 and 25 next month KD can lift them to a title if thibs doesn’t run him to the ground and then you follow that up by saying your timeline suggests KD does not do that um but he says KD played 75 games OG never played 75 games he averaged 27.1 points 52.3% shooting you gave a lot of stats here you said he lost the potential Titleist in mini has two rings and has two final MVP so safe to say if Kevin Durant was available I think You’ want the Nicks to go after him uh could you explain a little bit that about that regarding Randall and KD and why’ you want to make that move yeah I was very surprised how anti- Durant mix fans are and it’s more personal than basketball right I mean this most of my mentions or responses were I don’t want to win a title with Kevin Durant I was like wow um listen he did chicken out in New York back then I I really believe that he didn’t want the enormous pressure of being the Nick savior but I think right now as you know his Handler is Rich kimman who desperately wants him to be a New York Nick he didn’t want him to be a Brooklyn Net and I’m sure now more than ever because the sun situation just seems a little clunky uh the chemistry was not there I don’t think they really love playing with each other those guys Bradley Beal to me is the most o overpaid player in the NBA agreed uh and for Kevin to be the missing final piece to a championship I mean what a wonderful end for his legacy but Nick’s fans don’t want Kevin Duran to be part of the Knicks because he he wants spurn them it’s like the girlfriend that wants spurn you and then she comes back to you it’s like no no thanks but I mean it’s G to be 52 years I mean like are we going to be that choosy on which Superstar he’s not in his prime but he’s still solid enough to be a piece that lifts you with the same most of the same cast to lift you past you know definitely Indiana obviously right and maybe Boston you know harford’s gonna be a year old the next year I just think that that’s a move that moves the needle and you know other guys listen they have two first round picks 24 and 25 and I’m hearing that yeah they want to take them just to get depth pieces that’s not moving the needle to the NBA finals I’m looking at a championship Scott Perry thought his job was to win one Championship break that drought and Kevin Durant can do that and you have to put you know bygones be bygones it listen the Brooklyn Nets just team up with it was Kyrie honestly that was the facilitator of let’s go to the Nets and Kevin followed along uh it was a terrible mistake uh Harden it might not have been as tragic mistake if they didn’t add hard and after but I just think you got to forgive Kevin he was following his friend Kyrie it was obviously the wrong move he should have came to the next uh but I think if they could get him with Julius and adding some of their picks that they have that they really don’t want they just want to trade that they have these picks not to use they have these picks to trade and if Kevin’s available I think you gotta go right after it Devin Booker is probably uh you know a better long-term fit yes as he’s much younger but I think Kevin could make even a bigger impact in one season see that that for me it’s not even about KD anymore it’s more about the Suns and their ownership it sounds like they’re doubling down on the fact they want to keep all of the the core three for them and I guess I understand it because they don’t really have moves but if you look at the moves they have with them they’re even more limited you can’t really build around them like you said Beal in terms of his value like I said availability to your point he doesn’t play that often when he does play he doesn’t push the needle or push it as far as he should and I feel like that’s the main issue that we have he doesn’t take it as far as um he can do it with that team they’re just not built the right way for KD KD needs other pieces around him and I think and other pieces on the bench that can allow him to thrive he doesn’t Thrive with that and I think sometimes he juggles between one two and three with all three of them and he can’t do that he needs to have a defined role and I think with the Suns he just doesn’t if he comes to the Nicks the only concern is how long does he hold up for because we don’t know how many games he’s going to go through Tom thibo system if he’s going to have any issue running through games um if he’s going to need to miss games those are always the concerns and then he’s aging and if he doesn’t like what’s going on and then he request another trade you just gave up asset for somebody that potentially doesn’t want to stay so I think all of those are potential factors there right Mark yeah well I mean I think you could get two very very good years out of Kevin and but I’m thinking what’s the alternative the philadel Philadelphia 76ers aren’t handing over Joel embiid to the Knicks their division rival uh these Superstars are tough to find and tough to get in a trade so if the Suns decide or if Kevin tells Phoenix listen I really don’t want to be here I don’t see a a vision I mean then the Knicks have to explore and they have all these draft picks that they don’t want to use Tibido doesn’t like playing rookies anyway and I I imagine on draft night they package the two if they can’t put it in a blockbuster they package the two to move up you know I think they just need one guy right uh but I I just think if Kevin’s available you got to go after it in a big way and uh listen Carl Anthony towns is now in a good situation with Minnesota and getting back to their sons they did lose to an excellent ball Club in Minnesota that went to the conference final so um yeah I just think that you got to uh go after Kevin if he’s available it would be it would be malpractice for Leon Rose not to I think he’s goingon to pick up phone to talk to basically everybody’s available but I get the Kevin Durant situation I understand it that’s not as realistic but I said it before in a in a different video at the different stream the Knicks right now they used to be the team that had to go out to get every Star but given the fact what they’re building when healthy I think they’re being more selective with the star that they want to add they want to add the right piece the right fit to your point somebody who is durable that can last a lot but my last question was the draft situation but you kind of answered it by saying that they’re likely going to use their picks to either trade up or or classic Nick Fashion use one and then trade another one to move back get more assets for the future and then continue doing that either it’s either going to be one of the other that’s the Brock Aller Method Keep adding more draft picks that you never could trade until you lock that on a superstar but then it goes back to the point where you’re Prime now to get that Superstar
