We defiintely need scoring from a BIG and from the bench, but if Mitch is healthy we need those offensive rebounds and rip protection in the playoffs
Kessler is a beast. Bro i knoa your not high on Clarkson. Did u see him at MSG yesterday.? U wouldn't trade Mitchell Robinson Dadiet and a 1 for Clarkson and Kessler. I wouldn't include Kolek or Deuce no way
Bro i know your not high on Clarkson
Rim protection he does not fit we need a elite shot blocker
I wouldn't trade any of our core or youth or great bench players for him but you wouldn't give up Mitchell Robinson and a 2 for him
I would
If Robinson was healthy if course no way u trade him.
Would u trade Mitchell Robinson Dadiet and a 2 for Jalen Duren and Tim Hardaway off the bench
Or How Bout these 2 Trades
Hukuporti Mitchell Robinson and a 1 For KD. KD is injury prone so i think Phoenix will give him up for not that much.
Sims Dadiet and a 2 to Portland for Kumara and Justin Minaya
They could use a defensive/rebounding big (could be Mitch) and a high end scorer off the bench (they are near dead last in the NBA in bench offense).
There’s no way in hell we trade precious
What about J Duren and Tim Hardaway for Dadiet Robinson and a 1 plus a 2. I think its a fair trade for both teams
Mitch is good. But..a constant " hurt box". He must be related to " Paul George and LAmello and Livine". But.." they..steady at..the spots with I.G. gold diggers" baddie chics though.😂lol
Knicks fans have a problem learning to let go. Knicks fans are like a possessive woman. Mitchell Robinson good defender but can not shoot, and can't shoot free throws. Precious is a good player but undersized.SMFH I WANT TO WIN DONT HAVE TIME HANG ON TO PLAYERS.
If I was in knicks owner ship I would trade og anunoby for Jimmy butler! Jimmy he can beat Boston
Would giving Wash the pick back + two 2nd rounders do it?
Trade precious and sims for val we still keep mitch and val can come of the bench
I just feel bad for Hukporti!! Why isn’t he given the opportunity, is anyone’s guess. Smfh @Tibbs 🤨😡
Im not making that move too
Trade idea: Sims, Hukporti, Shamet plus Wiz 1st round pick and two second round picks for Jonas and M Brogdon!! 😁👍🏾
Isaiah Stewart that’s who the Knicks need, you need an enforcer…!
Jonas is a slow footed big who plays zero defense. Definitelya Thibs desire.
I think Knicks should trade Mich,because he's always going to be hurt & when we need him in the playoffs he's gonna get hurt again,it's just the reality with him,go Knicks
Precious still has untapped potential, imagine if his handles gets better and he can consistently hit a middy or corner 3.
Knicks have everything they need to make a run for the chip this year in 2024-2025! If they trade Mitchell Robinson they'll be making a huge mistake! Mitchell Robinson is younger and his contract is less than Valenciounas who is slow as hell and older! Bad move idea Knicks!
Unless they're trading Jericho Simms I'm all for it!
Jonas valanciunas is healthy but question is..Defensive as mitchell… precious achiuwa not Goin anywhere.. knicks need to develop him
Achuwa should not be traded at all
So who cares what he says? He ain’t coming here unless Mitch is out for the year.
We have that with Huk n precious just trade Sims n Ryan
We have a good bench thibs just don't play them we have Huk n Jacob toppin n Huk plays better than Sims n precious. Why is they holding on to Sims…
We all know rose isn't dumb enough to trade for this stiff. Let's see what Mitchell Robinson has and take advantage of the buy out market
Matisse thybulle . At this point teams are always going to put KAT on pick n roll – we need a defensive playmaker who’s elite at guarding pick n roll. That puts Mikal as an iso defender instead of screen navigator – and prevents KAT from being over exploited in pick n roll. Matisse thybulle on 11m with a player option next year – that’s the guy.
We! DONT NEED THAT OLD VIKING! Cut it out
Knicks need Lebron.
My dude u stay coming up with these wild trade rumors and none of that stuff be facts that's why no one subscribes to ur channel
When mitch back n all stay healthy I say they run it the rest of the year
We’re a top 3 offense in the nba so we don’t need another offensive punch center. The trades the Knicks make are always trades we never see coming. I’m sure Leon and co are gonna do the perfect trade before the deadline
If I’m in the FO I’m telling every team that Precious is untouchable. He’s a game changer for us. We didn’t acquire him in the trade for OG for no reason. Knicks saw him as part of their future and he needs to stay.
