Knicks Planning HUGE TRADE! NY Targeting Jose Alvarado For Backup Point Guard Role?! | Knicks News
The Knicks are planning another huge move! According to reports, the Knicks still have a level of desire to acquire a backup point guard. With Tyler Kolek not playing and seemingly out of the rotation, a trade could be on the horizon for the young guard. And the player the Knicks are targeting? An NBA insider listed Jose Alvarado as a name to watch at the deadline for the Knicks to target. Alvarado, under Mike Brown, would compliment this team perfectly too. But if NY does make this move, the days of the young Knicks on this team will be over… Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

u riding kolek hard
Walker Kesler is hurt shoulder injury
Hard Pass on Alvarado
Try to work with Kolek instead of bringing somebody else. He needs to be given more time.
Lmao so we gonna trade a good young talent for another vet, 53 years, all this time of going after vets & we still ain't win a chip, I swear this organization will never win a ring, they never adapt, Kolek has improved, stop trading away chemistry for win now moves that don't even result in a title. We need a big, Mitch is always hurt, Huk needs to start, we have to play Jemison as much as I don't want to. I agree if we actually play them consistently like you said we wouldn't need vets. Organization makes no sense, we already have a backup PG & a backup Center, there's a reason why we haven't won shit in forever 🤦🏿♂️🥱 so sick of these clowns, like if your doing something that hasn't worked in all these years, change it up. No rental for a year is worth that.
See this is why you don't open your mouth & say it's championship or bust cause you go out & make stupid moves & keep your 53 winless streak getting worse💀
Who cares what Vegas think, also who cares if we win 60 games or not, the goal is to be the champs. Plenty of teams have won a chip that didn't win 60 games.
First the Ben Simmons bs, then Brogdon, now this. I wouldn't trade Kolek. Pacôme yea, cause we got plenty of wings, he shouldn't even get playing time over Kevin or Diawara. Mike Brown sure isn't adapting, playing Yabusele instead of Huk & now Kolek & Huk not even getting minutes.
Lol I thought he was never the backup PG but the 3rd string PG. The backup is Duece.
KOLEK…LOL
TROY MOONLIGHTING AS BACKUP PG…LOL
but can he shoot?
Mitchell robinson and Tyler kolek for jose Alvarado and yves missi
Let's wait if Yabu turns things around, if not, then we need another backup big. Huckporti is good for the regular season, but playoffs are a different animal.
He's a bum!
Jose is a good player and can back up Jalen. He may be hard to get. He is a native New Yorker.
Jose will be as popular as J.Hart.
Kolek is 24 not really improved much I'm okay trading him
Tyler can run the NY Knicks offense and distribute the basketball. But he have trouble shooting from the perimeter.
I can see us trading for Jose sooner rather than later
I’ve made this trade for the past 3 2k video games lol
🇵🇷🫡🇵🇷!!!
Jose
Jordan clarkson
Josh hart
Yabu
Hukporti/Another trade for C?
I like Jose please do the trade, plus he's from New York
I like this one recap
I think thatcwill be a bad move. The kid know how tobget everyone in the game. I promise you he will come back and kill the Knicks.
Alvarado would be dope , with Josh Hart….unstoppable nobody call score on us .
I dont understand. We got PLENTY of guard depth. We need more wing depth and we definitely need another center. This way we dont overplay mitch and dont use kat at the 5 too much.
I love the kids, I love the approach of developing Knicks players. We did not take that pathway, or else the team would be made up of Quickley, RJ, Grimes, and Obi, all players drafted and developed and better than anyone on our bench. We didn’t go down that path, we are in win now mode. So we have to do everything it takes to achieve that goal. Contender windows don’t stay open for long.
Why would they get rid of him, would love to know your thoughts man. Hes a great player
Mark williams, nick Richard’s
WE NEED A BACK UP CENTER!!! …. LOL, sorry for the yelling but we don't win unless we have a center. Guards are not important right now. Honestly, I would trade brunson and bridges for a decent center and then let (spiderman) kolek and Clarkson and let them follow McBride. If they develop McBride dude would be a beast! We make the same mistakes every year focusing on the wrong positions and every year we never win. We came very close with Ewing because he was a monster but since then… Nothing. Doing the same thing is insanity when you expect a different outcome.
Go for it. Left over draft picks, the undrafted will always be available.
Jeremy Lin, just a suggestion , I'll think he'll play for 150k 😅
After 5-6 games. He is young give him time
Pull the trigger! I like this trade. Grand Theft Alvarado!
Name 1 time insider was right about any trades ? I don’t believe it at all !
Kolek leads Knicks in 2 point shot % 63% His 3s will fall , McBride took time shooting when not getting steady minutes
I think we need more insurace at the point of attack with size .
Kolek is mid.
In a heartbeat
At this point, we just need to trade Tyler because we keep bringing him back-and-forth to and from the G league. José Alvarado would be a good backup.
Alverado would love it a NY native & he's definitely built for his home team
The problem is Leon Rose he as to go , stop running down championship and you don't have team , build something all his draft picks are gone that why star player doesn't want to come here because they can move at any moment for a garbage player.
Stop talking about vet , vet is old.the Knicks is too desperate try and build something.
GTA, would be a good addition to the team as a back up PG. Besides, being from Brooklyn and coming home he would assuredly give 100%. As for our young guys, they are simply not that good unfortunately. Coach sees them in practice and if he thought they were good enough they would play. Considering the depth of the team, they would have to be good in order to crack the rotation. Not saying that they won’t be good, but they’re not there yet. Dante Exum is at the 30 age mark and is often injured and we don’t need that.
Bring back IQ he is the perfect backup for Brunson
Bull
Knicks are in a win now mode for the next few years. Knicks need players that can produce, I'm down to get Jose Alvarado he has playoff experience and he's scrappy
Now this is the trade I'll make in a heartbeat. Plus I believe kolek has more money remaining on his contract than Jose Alvarado. Maybe we get a draft pick back
We need more height and length in a backup pt guard. Also, he would never be #15.
The Knicks should trade Mitchell Robinson for kele ware it’s a fair trade so he dnt walk for nothing we need something back since the heat is benching him
How many little guards do we need???
I appreciate the content but these videos could be like 1-2 minutes long … says the same $h1+ over and over and drags every sentence out. Respect the hustle tho …. I guess 😂
