REAL REASON Knicks Signed PJ Tucker… | Knicks News
The New York Knicks just made a MAJOR ROSTER move! The Knicks had one final roster spot to fill and even though they needed more size on the team, NY pivoted to a completely different player type. According to reports, NY has signed 14 Year NBA veteran and former NBA champion PJ Tucker to the team. The move comes as NY loses Jalen Brunson for an indefinite amount of time but multiple NBA insiders help explain why NY targeted Tucker in the first place and what their plans for him are… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

Stop with these fake and cringey reactions
I thought we wanted to play Towns at the 4 and have a true center. That's MRob but he's minutes restricted and Precious really isnt a center but a decent back up for OG. The injury to Huckporti should have dictated that we get another center asap, instead we sign washed up Tucker??? WFT?? Please tell me we are dumping Delon Wright so we can sign one more. Still not sure why we didn't get 6'8" TJ Warren to back us up at the wing too. This signing defies logic!
Greeting Troy, i prefer Moses Brown over PJ Tucker. But, at least PJ was signed for only 10 days. I wonder though, what is wrong with Leon? I dont understand the PJ signing. Please bring up Moses! Going with PJ must be an early April fools joke. 😅
I like the signing.. not for what he can do on the court cause im not convinced he can do anything on the court at this point, but im hoping he could bring some veteran leadership and toughen these guys up a bit, bridges and kat are soft as baby shit smh. Probably wont happen in 10 days though 🤷♂️
Why y'all doubting Leon 🌹 very rarely misses I'm sure there's a reason for this signing.
Listen to your shows every day and love it… your one of my faves! Not loving the screaming as much though… starting to sound too much like Steve A Smith who i can't stand and won't listen to any longer! Love your passion but please don't do the Steven A!!
Great move
Your meltdown was relatable asf! I feel like a little bit of that went down in my mind and a lot of confusion this is such a weird move by NY so ima just shut up and see how it plays out with no expectations
I'm so confused…
WHAT⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️ NO MO BROWN⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️THE KNICKS WILL NEVER A CHIP‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
We are going to loose Kat. At the 5, he has to rebound and play tough defense. He will not finish this season if that does not change. Kat has to start playing more time at the 4 to save his legs. He will give you better offense if he has to play less 5 position. Leon Rose has called a bad shot, in my opinion.
Wow haven't seen Troy lose it like this.. I feel you bro. Can't believe that we got Tucker outta nowhere
I’ll care when we get a dub against the Cavs Celtics & Thunder
Did they sign 7ft2 Moses Brown??
Moses Brown?
For all that sign melo f it
Lmao this is one of the best videos I've seen by you. Sir you just earned my loyalty
For me the shine was starting to dull for Leon Rose starting last summer when he extended Thibs, for some reason, and traded 5 first round picks, plus a pick swap for a non-superstar in Bridges. Then he trades for a hell of an offensive weaponin KAT, who doesn't defend at all. And now they're signing an "enforcer"? Does Rose think he's signing Tucker for the New York Rangers? Enforcers are usually hockey players
This sounds to me like Thibs going to Rose and asking him to sign Tucker. Thibs is still trying to coach the Knicks like it's 1994. It's time to get a modern day NBA head aochc in here
Stop Yelling smh
Whoever told you yelling on your videos was a good idea? Lied to you smh. Your channel will definitely fail.
KNICKS nor gonna win anything
I don’t care what the reason is they should’ve brought up Moses Brown, and that’s it. End of story.
Now with the 10 day contract, what if you really do like him can you make him eligible for the playoffs?
I knew Leon lost his mind with the insane trade for Bridges giving up all our draft capital. This is not a championship team by any means. See the 90's Knicks with Ewing, Mason, Johnson, Oakley,Starks, Harper & company. Mental & physical tough team. Bridges & Towns as tissue.
Tucker is sorry and slow this bs
Hey He’s Better Than Taj Gibson 🤷🏾♂️ Lol
We dont need size, we need a NEW COACH.
I think if they want to keep Tucker they will waive delon wright or maybe shamet and bring in a big. Also Moses brown is a dog shit defender, he doesn’t help us as much as the fan base thinks he would.
It's only a 10 day bro
I CAN'T BELIEVE THE KNICKS SIGNED PJ TUCKER OVER GETTING 7FOOT 2 MOSES BROWN , HE ÌS A WALKING DOUBLE DOUBLE ,WOW I STILL
Do you think a young, tall, fast Boston or Cleveland team will let PJ stand in the corner and shoot. They should clear the bench for Moses, TJ, & Chuma. That’s the only way they match up with those 2 teams. Boston & Cleveland get scoring, rebounds, & defense from every position in their rotation. They don’t have players with visible deficiencies on the floor. That’s why, the best move would be the 3 G-League players. All 3 have all been I over achieving this season in all of the areas that the Knicks are deficient in.
Major roster move 🤣💀
I'm watching the nuggets vs okc and both teams have some dogs on their teams as far as the Knicks the only players I think about like that on our team is Jb,Hart, OG,Duece, hukporti, kolek, Mitch, CP,and Kat and Achuwa sometimes
Knicks needs a player who plays had like Charles they had a good player in donte .
I’m hype about this move. PJ is a dog. Let’s hope we get the Rockets or Bucks version of him.
Tucker is washed rinsed and Hang to dry
Horrible Coaching horrible signings But hey it's yhe Knicks Right 🤔?
Crazy how they could give pj a 10 day contract but not melo before he retired
Well he his still mobile enough to guard the 4 . I can see him possibly in late game situations where Josh is on the Bench and Mikal and OG is playing SG/SF . This helps OG out with getting banged up all game in the paint
Team defense
Salute Troy! Great report! I don’t like it at all! This is not da time 4experimenting if Dey wan2 experiment bring up Brown 4 cryin out loud! Salute 2ya!
I'm baffled did they bring up this 40 year old dude instead of bringing up Moses Brown incredible
No more fooling around in the bench and locker room there’s a guy who will be in there with decorum and shut down the noise
I feel bad for TJ Warren, Moses brown, and Chuma Okeke
