Pistons OPEN To Trading Jalen Duren… (TKR Live) | Knicks News

the Knicks have been busy over the past few weeks who we thought were the Knicks trade targets they have changed a little bit last week we talked about Walker Kesler and of course we talked about the guy in Charlotte Nick Richards but now today those trade targets have changed just a little bit because now according to reports the Knicks are looking at Alfre sangon from Houston and of course Jaylen Duran from the Detroit Pistons if these guys are on the table and they are made available for a trade the Nicks are going to do whatever it takes to get one of those guys on the roster for a number of reasons but for one main one if they were on the Knicks they would be the starting center number one but they would be able to thrive Under head coach Tom tho the only question is will the Knicks be able to actually get a move done and get that trade happening we’re going to break down all of those reports 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 Knicks are interested in a jayen Durant trade you got to remember the Knicks had the opportunity another guy the Mel Bridges story all over again right another guy the Nicks could have drafted but they didn’t well they did draft him but they traded him away but get this if they held on to him they probably would have had a starting center in him besides Mitchell Robinson he is athletic he can move without the ball with the ball his defense it’s okay I’m not saying it’s the best defense but under head coach Tom thibo his defense would get better not only that we got to remember pick and roll with Jaylen Brunson a lot of people want to pretend it doesn’t exist but not to my eyes I remember him running that with Isaiah hartenstein and to an extent I remember him running a pick and roll with precious aoua if he could do it with those guys he can also do it with Duran and if he does it with him he’s big he’s athletic he can move across the court in lightning speed and if he’s rolling to the rim he’s near unstoppable that’s the type of Center I would want on this Knicks team he’s young as well too so he can still develop even though he’s not great defensively right now he’s still good on the boards and he can get better and according to these reports According to some NBA insiders they’re suggesting that the Knicks have the ran on their roster let’s go ahead and break down some of these reports for you guys today according to Mark Burman he states that Leon Rose is in the first row of the pressor yesterday with Mel’s mother didn’t talk but he’s still cooking wants to make a big Center move after Philly’s two additions heard Houston senon has been on the radar even Detroit’s jayen Duran and that was before the Pistons signed Paul Reed so again that’s the first part of this now that’s one Insider stating this but we also had Fred Katz from the athletic also stating this on his podcast according to Fred Katz he States Detroit claims Paul Reed they are definitely taking calls on Isaiah Stewart but here’s the biggest part here and I think they’re more open to moving jayen Durant than you’d expect according to Steve heard from the Knicks that people at the time 2022 draft really like Duran Catz is wondering if that’s why Detroit is going after another big man so as you can clearly see here Detroit is making certain moves that making everybody in the NBA in including NBA insiders here NB Nick NBA insiders basically assuming and suggesting that potentially Duran or Isaiah Stewart could be available for a trade with Detroit which senon I want to mention this clearly among all the people we’re going to talk about today in terms of centers there is no one in my opinion that has better Talent on the table than sangon senon is a beast if he came here he would be even better under head coach Tom thibo but the reason we can just stop right there is because I don’t think the Houston Rockets are just going to give him away number one and number two even if they wanted to trade him I don’t think the Knicks have the assets NE necessary to make that trade happen we got to remember as well even if the Knicks pulled off that trade he needs to get paid if he doesn’t get paid this year he needs to get paid next year he’s likely going to look for a Max contract do the Knicks have enough money on the table to afford him at a max deal let me answer that for you guys no they don’t but they also understand that their starting center position is weak and they need to upgrade it that’s why they’re looking at different centers so if senon is not on the table realis Al for Detroit jayen Duran in my opinion he is available and he is a realistic Target for the Knicks but you got to understand the cost even though he’s realistic nobody’s blind here Detroit’s not blind you guys are not blind I’m certainly not blind that kid has talent whatever you want to say about his defense whatever you want to say about what he can do on the offensive end sometime he’s sloppy but still most of the time for Detroit I still think he does a pretty good job he still needs polishing in some areas but of course if you go under a head coach like Tom Tibido and you’re playing for a contender in the Knicks you are going to get better you’re going to get better because of the team you’re playing around that’s the team he needs to be around the Nicks if they’re able to get him he would likely be the starting center I don’t even think there’s a question between him and Mitchell Robinson you could talk about his defense but everything he would do on offense would likely be the person that Tom thibo goes with for that starting center role because he could learn the defense he’s still young and if he can give you good defense with the offense he already gives you the kid is just going to be Sensational I would hope that the Knicks can get this done but if we’re looking at Steph Bondi with the New York Post and what he recently reported he gave us the following information about Detroit and their feelings on trading Duran according to the New York Post they’ve stated a sign in trade with a third team could be the Nick’s only potential option for bringing Durant into the fold however according to the New York Post Detroit’s GM he has his hands on considering the Pistons lack of depth at the position of Center so if you’re the Detroit Pistons GM and you’re looking at the entire roster you’re not going to likely trade Duran because if you trade Duran you’re going to have a lack of depth at that position them knowing this they’re not going to want to trade him away but if they’re going to trade him they’re going to want a lot of assets back they don’t have a lot of assets left at this point to give up in any deal remember we made that Mel Bridges deal we gave up a lot of Assets in that process it was a worth it deal in my opinion you needed to make that deal we are Championship contenders because of that deal but we also have to admit we’re now limited we can’t go out and make those really glamorous trades like for a jayen Duran maybe like for senon so the reason I think these names are on the table if you’re asking me is a smoke screen for who Danny a maybe also for the Charlotte Hornets because the Knicks have interest in Walker Kesler and Nick Richards that doesn’t stop just because they show interest in senon and Jaylen Duran all that means is just because you don’t want to deal your centers it doesn’t mean I can’t look elsewhere to get another Center to fill up that position for myself and I think that’s the message the Knicks are sending out right now especially to Utah because everybody knows I think clear at this point the Knicks want Walker Kessler they want Kesler on this team that’s the preferred Center they want and if they can get him they would have gotten him already but Danny a according to reports wants at least one first round pick but did you hear the phrasing there at least one first round pick right the reason it sounds like that is because that’s the starting price at least one and that one first round pick likely needs to be an early lottery pick a very quality pick if you don’t have those picks then you’re going to have to include multiple bad picks or late lottery picks and if you don’t have those and you’re only stuck with protected picks like the Knicks the ability to get Kesler is extremely Limited at this point in time am I still hoping for it of course do I still think it can happen of course I do because Leon Rose has pulled off magic before that’s why any player we’ve talked about whether it’s Duran whether it’s senon whether it’s going to be um Walker Kesler or Nick Richards whoever we’re talking about here I think that Leon Rose can get that deal done because he’s already showcased he can get anything done even if you think he can’t the only problem here is he is limited in what he can deal and that’s going to limit his options but the smoke screen here is definitely sangon and Duran not saying that the Knicks wouldn’t trade for Duran if he was available but like the New York Post just stated the GM of Detroit is not looking around to go ahead and trade him cuz if they did they would have lack at that they would have lack of depth at that position they’re not just going to go ahead and trade that away they rather probably trade Isaiah Stewart he’s going to start a contract very soon I think making around 15 million they would probably rather trade him try to get some assets back and let another team deal with him now if you’re the Knicks and he’s available and Isaiah Stewart you go after him as well too because the Nicks needs somebody else right now and the options are limited we don’t have that many left if if you enjoy these clips from the live show be sure to
