🚨 MUST-WATCH! Knicks Face Championship Destiny! πŸ†

You know watching that game and I felt like this before last week anyway and I thought the Knicks were going to lose that game they just don’t have enough right now it’s not their fault they’re better than the Lakers LeBron the king corny I mean I can’t stand him get get

Get out of here LeBron okay whatever flexing his muscle like the Lakers did something big wasn’t a big deal they beat the Knicks however for me not just that game overall we talked about this earlier in the week last week or whatever two weeks ago Nicks need to

Make a trade the Knicks are in a spot where they have the the path is there we said last week the path is there to get to an Easter Conference Finals to get to an NBA Finals to potentially win the whole damn thing they need to make a

Trade here ahead of the trade deadline coming up on Thursday 3 pm I’m not saying it’s got to be a blockbuster I mean Mari I take obviously just heard Boomer and Gio a little bit talking about muel bridges I don’t think that that’s going to happen but they need to

Make a trade to upgrade their two guard position they need one more scorer and then they could send Divan chenzo to the bench and put them in a better position all right I I think that everybody needs to understand just what what kind of you know power position the Knicks are in

Number one they’re really good number two they’ve got all the picks and they’ve got cap Integrity I disagree I disagree I I know the Splashy thing is you know we love talking about trades we do trades are fun Nicks don’t need a trade you know even go back to the

Mechanics of the game and now when Sal’s defense he was saying this even before the game yeah this is has like I think we’re in agreement just to clear this up cuz was some overreaction like oh the Knicks were exposed no no way that’s so stupid they lost that game yeah come on

They lost that game for one reason only well two reasons no anobi no Randall that’s it yeah I mean listen the chu has been more than we thought he would be but you don’t really need precious shua playing 42 minutes which he did and taking some shots during that six-minute

Run when the Knicks couldn’t score so you know go back to this the Knicks LED 8680 after three you know they led by two with s minutes to go then they can’t put the ball in the hole all right you know obviously they complicate jayen brunson’s world and without Randall

Without OG there’s no buckets to go around and they lose the game uh you know news flash to Nick fans they weren’t going to run the table the rest of the way I think the Knicks if if if they are if they are worried about you know not allowing

This to kind to Sag into the summer they’re missing the boat and that’s the beautiful thing about this Nicks organization now they see the big picture I think back in in you know previous um with previous regimes they’d say oh we’re knocking on the door oh we’re right there oh let’s do something

And they wouldn’t pay attention to the Future and that would obviously hurt them the play for the Knicks now is to and veral did Frank the Tank hurt OG can you help me with this you don’t fright the tank I do did did he hurt OG’s like

Elbow I don’t know that somebody sent me a video after uh I guess that would have been the game when they were down by 15 came back and won uh last week right at the Pacers game and OG’s walking off the court I think it was Frank the Tank he

Shook his hand then basically somebody said that’s where OG got hurt anyway got to get OG back got to get Randall back and then you go to battle with I think what is one through 10 the deepest roster in the NBA and then you make the power Flex

This summer yeah but why wait when the window is there now because the window’s going to be better over the summer how do you know that I know because better players are always available during the summer because teams pounce during the draft I’m talking about right now in

Season their chance to go win a championship BT it’s there and beat out Sixers are in disarray Doc Rivers in with the bucks bucks have a little bit of an issue here it’s basically one team in the East that you need to go beat and now I know the postseason is not going

To be easy and some you know Cleveland’s good you can’t over look them who knows Miami could be tough Pacers healthy they’re right they’re T but the Knicks are better they’re as good as anybody else and I think they’re better than those teams through a seven game series

Now they have to prove it of course and they have to get themselves healthy with Randall and anobi but we expect to get them back here sometime soon assuming those guys can come back you’re looking at a wide open Eastern conference for the first time in a while it’s there for

The taking now and I don’t think it has to be a superstar I need an upgrade yeah again I said this last week and that I think it gets even more amplifi when you watch the game Saturday night like they need another guy who can SC de chenzo

Can’t be your second option to score it’s all Brunson this winning streak it’s all jayen Brunson that’s not true Dante dant chenzo has been absolutely phenomenal okay he’s not I can’t be I’m not s I’m not saying inist you I’m not saying he’s this guy you know for

Forever uh Dante Devon CH dud he’s backing in 30 point games Dante Devon chenel has been phenomenal he can’t be that he’s not that guy I know and he’s not going to have to be when you got OG and Randle coming back I’m not doing something rushed I’m not doing something

Now it’s not rushed they’ve been planning this well yeah well they’ve been looking to get Murray for a year yeah yeah but yes but what I mean is like I don’t want them to feel the rush because Randall and OG are out certainly Randall is going to be long that to me

Has nothing to do with it no that has everything to do with it for me if Randall if we got news a week ago Randall rotator cuff surgery done for the year all right I might have a different opinion yeah well so would I I would agree with you don’t do anything

Oh no that’s when I would do something at that point cuz then you you’ve got to at least give yourself a chance to to dance in a very open Eastern Conference the Nicks and I listen I know the Bucks have Championship pedigree I’m sure Daniel Lillard even with the doc River

Stuff that you mentioned is going to knock down you know a buzzer beater at some point then mayor Jude and point to what time is it it’s it’s not Ben Simmons time it’s going to eventually be Daniel Lillard time understood I know the Celtics are awesome I am not

Touching this team randle’s coming back OG’s coming back brunson’s a superstar let’s go I don’t need to make see to me they’re not enough with that now again Brunson legit Superstar you and I did we agree on that I believe they can win with Randall being their second best

Player I know we maybe disagree with that but I still think they’re a championship team with Randall as their second best player however I need I want two things a veteran backup point guard I love Duce McBride they need a veteran backup point guard to give them quality

Minutes to give Bruns and arrest in the postseason I’m trying to put together a championship by the way that’s not the move that I’m going to push back on I’m talking about something the next one they’re going to make a little tiny move know the next one to me is two guard I

Want D venzo to the bench he get Grimes and I like Grimes too like his potential Grimes get rid of Grimes what he do going to keep saying Grimes is going to be really good it’s got potential you don’t want to give up on players however

Right now if you could give up on Grimes you know a d and three guy whatever he can’t knock down a three of those Line Drive shots driv me nuts but if you can move divon chenzo to the bench and and Elevate the two guard and have a

Legitimate two guard scoring option that to me makes this team a championship team especially with the East being wild why would you wait I’ll tell you why because if you get the wrong guy it all goes up in Flames I know it sounds good de jante Murray you know I might have to

Eat these words they might make the trade it might be amazing the Knicks might win it all then I would be like man I’ve never been so happy to be wrong or suddenly the ball’s not in brunson’s hands suddenly the ball be in his but then the Jon Murray is not quite as

Impactful all of a sudden the offense looks a little less cohesive and then when Randle comes back it takes more time to figure that out if there was a perfect move to make I would make it I don’t think there is you see I think

That is the move to make and by the way before we get back to the calls here 877 337 6666 did you see the Knicks over the weekend paired up their issues with CAA of course I saw thata what do you think that that is that’s laying the

Groundwork right there yeah now is the groundwork now or during the summer I don’t know but that’s smart business and that was very very not surprising very refreshing and reassuring to see that the Knicks have Knicks have dotted every single eye said you know a week ago

They’re the best franchise in the city the Knicks is so well-run right now that even though you know I said what I said s said what he said don’t you just in terms of how they should attack the next couple of days before the trade deadline

On Thursday isn’t it amazing to be able to say that there’s actually a level of inherent trust no matter what they do it’s GNA be the right move well no tell be honestly yes to a certain extent I think though this is the time like they’ve aligned everything and you got

To sit there and say okay is this are we going to fire our final bullet here yeah I think this is the time to do it because I think the East is wide open now the reason why I would say I wouldn’t go the other way if Randall

Were hurt yeah then they can’t win a championship to me anyway so why go out there and fire that bullet that’s why we because you still have Randall next year with the guy that you bring in unless it’s an expiring deal which it probably won’t be but then I might I might as

Well wait till the off season and see if there’s a better option out BT and on the fan let’s get to the calls Dale is in Manville what’s up Dale hey what’s up I’m uh what’s up buddy I’m with I’m with BT on this one

You know like why why why mess up like the fluid play of like what’s going on right now after a win streak like that and then possibly you know mess up what’s going on I think even Cheno is a winner you know seing that in in college you know he’s a bench player

He’s a bench player I don’t know I just I wouldn’t mess things up oh you know maybe a how are you messing things up what do you mean mess things up I don’t know they’re just playing really good right now I don’t think we need anybody to make any changes you

Know especially embiid he’s I I mean he never did anything in the playoffs anywhere that makes me scared so I would just stick what it is and thanks for the call D we appreciate checking in you got to go for it the Knicks need more to be

A championship team you can’t I get they’re going to be different obviously they are different with anobi back and Randle back to me BT they still need one more scoring option Divan chenzo isn’t that guy to me I like him nice player I think he’s a bench player I think he’s

Inconsistent I you can’t rely too heavily on him you saw it in the game the other night know he ended up playing well but in the begin I mean dude he was 6 for 16 from downtown like come on I mean that’s volume right there you need a little bit more efficiency especially

When you only have Brunson so I’d rather have an upgraded two guard divon chenzo to the bench Grimes out of the equation veteran backup point guard that could be a championship team okay so this is early February here right it’s early February deadlines Thursday Nick’s coming off a a marquee high-profile game

A loss that I know bothers us because we wanted to beat LeBron we wanted to keep this going here and they had it just couldn’t put the ball in the ho final six seven minutes okay but I want everybody to understand I this is why I

Really disagree with S I mean again that little tiny spare piece I don’t mean that I mean the trade you’ve got let’s see in five weeks maybe six you will have and before that for random just try to prove a greater point you will have an all NBA player coming back

In Randall you will have one of the top three in D guys in the NBA coming back certainly way before that in OG and oh yeah by the way you will have a 7 foot one Beast of a Defender now in a different role because hen Stein’s going

To start and the Knicks at that point even without a trade are ready to compete for Champion I actually worry about Robinson coming back and a negative impact he could have caller brought this up last week and I agree with him he’s not he he It’s seems to me

At times he could be a little bit of an issue like off the court Social Media stuff I’m not saying he’s a bad guy but like maybe a little selfish would be the way to term it where he’s not going to be happy losing his starting job and not

Being a more intrical part I worry about that I’m not saying it’s going to happen but I would have concerns about Mitch I don’t want him coming back and messing things up I think a trade is necessary and I would take my chances with the chemistry issues and I don’t think it’s

Going to be that big of a deal you bring in a good player move divon chenzo to the bench and away we go yeah I worry about the the chemistry with Mitch I don’t I don’t matter of fact I’ve got three quick quick reasons why uh Mitch

Is the easiest guy to plug back in number one he got paid so generally the first issue is when when you come back and your role is lessened and you’re on the precipice of being paid that’s a problem he got 60 mil so they broke it off he earned it and he’s fine

Financially boom number two unless he has zero self-awareness and I don’t think he’s that guy I think he’s a a good-hearted team guy even with some of the dopy or imature tweet imature imature imature and selfish that’s it but I think when you’ve got some awareness and a little maturity when

You’re out when you’re away from something and you see what you’re away from flourish both from a team perspective and the guy who’s playing for you unless you are an idiot you’re not causing a problem because everybody knows that Haren Stein’s been twice as good as Mitcham because he’s more divers

Of a player and number three it’s a seamless you know plug back in because he doesn’t need the basketball now if you’ve got a guy like yeah it’s going to be a little tougher with Randall who’s used to having the ball you know I don’t want to say monopolizing it like he once

Did but Randall needs the ball to be in a flow to do his thing whereas Mitch hey Clogg the middle here a lob get a rebound block a shot take a seat that’s easy Dino is calling from South planfield what’s up Dino Dino hey guys what are you guys doing man how’s

Everything how are you Dino so the Knicks need another superst for the simple fact this is what I’m gonna say this for because generally we know in the playoffs role players do not play well on the road I mean sorry role players yeah they don’t play that well on the

Road the season but it comes to the road playoff games are not that good Miami has a ton of experience no matter what they’ve done in the season they show up in the playoffs Boston is a great team Randall hasn’t proven nothing in the playoffs even Tom tib though has not

Proven that he’s a good coach in the playoffs his team the Bulls they had one of the best teams that year and they couldn’t get past Miami in that first year if they don’t get a superstar Jaylen Brunson is not Michael Jordan and LeBron James he’s not gonna carry the

Team during the playoffs no no he think that they can go to the championship without another Superstar no D that’s not what we’re talking about here they do have a superstar jayen Bronson no that another Superstar you Cann with just one no jul Julius Randle is an All-Star three of the last four

Years forget Michael Jordan forget Michael I love this oh he’s not Michael Jordan yeah okay get lost will chaml yeah exactly where’s Bill Russell I mean he’s not Michael Jordan oh okay he’s not Michael Jordan oh oh well might as well pack it in might as well quit as a Nick

Fan he’s not Michael Jordan not LeBron James I mean GE come on dude get get real get real boy that set you off it did set me off I’m tired of it’s so dismissive watch the games he’s a superstar okay but hold on a second now need another Superstar yeah go get Kevin

Durant go get LeBron James yeah but hold on S think about this and and you’re right but you know you’re screaming I’ve screamed that Gerald brunson’s a superstar then why are you telling us they need to make a trade rather than if it’s the right thing like you seem so

Hardpressed to make a deal why I don’t think they’re a championship team without an upgrade they need another scoring option now again when Randle comes back in anobi I get that those guys aren’t going to be able to play the entire game now T is going to find out

But at some point you’re going to need another option I don’t think Devan chenzo is that guy look at it right now they should be able to and I know that they have because of Brunson that’s why he’s a superstar they should be able to

Overcome the loss of a couple of guys on any given night right I watch this team without Randall and without anunobi and they’ve got nothing they’ve got a good team good chemistry good ball movement as I’m talking about scoring wise they have nothing I don’t I don’t like div

Chenzo as that type of guy I love him but he’s not that guy listen we just see him differently I think he’s an awesome play’s Ro player I I think he’s better than a role player but that aside I got you we we don’t see it the same way I

Think I think I love Dante Divan chenzo but I let’s let’s not be unfair to the Knicks go to any other good team all right and take off their two best players or two of their top three I get it we’re having the same conversation I

Know that I still think one more piece like why wouldn’t you upgrade to if you look at this team their weakness to me is what is you going to say scoring yeah statistically that doesn’t say that’s not true though I was going to say two guard okay but that’s kind of saying

Scoring well whatever another scoring option okay again you can’t have it I’m talking about building a championship team these things aren’t easy here like we’re asking a lot you have a superstar and Brunson you have a three out of four last year a three-time Allstar Julius

Randall you got anobi who fits like a glove you got some guys who play see Josh Hart I don’t want to say he’s the problem excuse me I don’t say Hart’s the problem cuz he’s not he’s a good facilitator problem is he can’t score no I I can’t have Josh Hart taking big

Shots he’s not a threat at all with the ball in his hands you need one more guy on the floor it’s it’s heighten now without Randall and adobi obviously but to me they need one more guy because it’s just all you watch this team I have no confidence in anybody outside of

Jaylen Brunson to do something and it’s just too much to ask of him to score 45 points aight I got a point on Rand I want to throw to you or at you coming up next year we get a little deeper into this Nick stuff

  1. I completely agree. Brunson/Murray/OG/Randle/Hartenstein with DV, Hart and Robinson off the bench would be an insane playoff rotation

  2. BT has become a joke without Tiki. Tiki had a good sense of humor but also spoke with a real perspective on things. BT looks for hot takes and is a pain in the ass.

  3. Im sure Brunson has something to do with this whole Villanova vibe. U cant rely on Murray either. Hes not that good of a shooter and will present the same problem u had with Barrett

  4. Dante n Brunson have won titles together.Those two are locked in moving him to the bench unless he goes on a prolonged slump is dumb talk

  5. The Knicks listen to Sal they end up not winning with depleted assets and at best go to 1 ECF. Then on a podcast causes he’s trash and gone from WFAN is saying that the knicks suck and are never patient. This dude takes are BEYOND horrible ALWAYS bad takes!

  6. Boston playoff match up with the Knicks is why we must make a trade. We need a wing who can score on all level. Mikal Bridges, Trey Murphy III, Brandon Ingram, or Jalen Williams will fit our needs. Sign Gordon Hayward if he is released.

  7. The Knicks don't need this years 1st round picks. Grimes value is dropping Fourniers contract is expiring. If you can get Murray who's on a great contract for those assets you do that in a heartbeat. You could always flip Murray in the offseason because he's a good young player with more picks to get a better player.

  8. Why do these media guys act like you need 5 all-stars in your starting lineup. DiVincenzo can hold down the 2 if needed.

  9. It doesn't all go up and flames if you get the wrong guy. Murray is a defensive player as well. A good fit. Maybe not as good as he was in San Antonio but he's on a great tradable contract and he's very young enticing for other teams in a trade this offseason. More enticing than Grimes. You don't want to waste Fourniers expiring contract

  10. I like Divi starting he's been on a tear with Randle out and ges right next to his best friend (brunson) id get a bench playmaker and roll out with what i got we have a really good team guys

  11. I love having Grimes and watching him develop, he needs more time to develop maybe on another team where he has the chance to roam the floor. Murray playing the two spots would cover Brunson's defense deficiency and be that second punch in the back court to take the pressure off Brunson. I would sign up for that at this point.

  12. Knicks Get Alex Caruso, bojan bogdanovic Alec Burks Bulls Get Mitch, Fournier and Killian Hayes Pistons Get Zach Lavine

  13. Mitch should start over Isiah. Isiah is great at starting the offense and that’s what we need off the bench. Plus Mitch was out rebounding entire teams. He was having a dpoy type season before he went down

  14. Team BT on this one

    For the life of me I don't understand why people want to mess with the chemistry of this starting lineup. When fully healthy, DDV's job is to hit open 3's, NOT be a 2nd option. He has been playing good defense. What else do you want???

    The move here is to get creator for the bench unit. It's cheap. It doesn't mess with the cohesion of this team. Brogdon is the guy in my opinion.

  15. You know pop been in tibbs ear about murry. Most pop guys are tibbs guys. The question is the price. Fournier and three picks 2 unprotected. And keep the rest of our stash? I might bite

  16. I think you're right we need another ball handler that can get this own points and can set up the other guys who can't get his shot. I disagree about mitch he and hairstein are best friends they will work it out

  17. In playoff you need closer,the Knicks don't have that the coach is going to take ball out of Jalen Bronson he hand

  18. LeBron and Anthony Davies were afraid to play the Celtics and be embarrased.. Knicks lost because both OG and Randle were absent. One in the game would have made the difference. Knicks were very competitive in that game.

  19. We don’t need to move anyone. Murry doesn’t fit with the Knicks. Why take Hawks problem and Make it a Knick problem. Knicks had three ball dominant players. Donte fits the first unit and he is playing great. What Knicks are waiting for is players to get healthy. Randle is our number 2. But what takes us to the chip is OG, Mitchell Robinson and Grimes. Defense wins championship. How quickly we forget that Michell Robinson was the defensive with Grimes. Mitchell on the second unit is deadly. Who is scoring on McBride, Grimes, OG , Achiuwa and Mitchell. If you watch the games Thibs has OG run with the second unit too. Mitchell has also said he has no problem coming off the bench. And his best friend is IHart. Enough with this we need a trade just because we have assets.

  20. Knicks need spacing for Brunson and Randle. Regular season stats: Murray's 3pt percentage 36.8 and Divo's 41.6! Still I believe getting Murray now is a very good move. The bench needs scoring power, so moving Divo to the bench makes sense. Both guards and easily play the point or two spot. I think this is where Divo falls short. They can make the trade and still have a mini war chest!

  21. Mitch, OG (who fills in as the backup PF), Hart, Grimes, and Deuce will be the best defensive unit (starter or bench) that the Knicks have put on the floor in 25+ years.

  22. DD to the bench? Maybe it isn't dumbest thing I ever heard given that he has spent time there but it's close. Right now you got the 1 and 2 guards as starters with three bench players and the knicks were on a nine game winning streak. And the 4,5 and 6 "bigs" can't shoot from outside three feet – proof was Saturday. How did they even win a game with 3 starters out was out and the solution is to send the 2 guard to the bench because you know that Murray with his 34% from 3 can jump in and play with Brunson and hog the ball enough to make a difference? You better be right if that is the plan

  23. The next need to make another trade another you absolutely, right? They need another bucket score somebody that could put the hole and the hoop brother because Grimes wasn't their random OG douche cannot do it. Douche, cannot make up for that next bucket go. He have good games with them. When you need them to hit a bucket, you can't hit a bucket.

  24. They need a bench piece but to replace divo is ridiculous… how quickly we forget how bad our offense was when we didn’t have grimes and rj stretching the floor.. as soon as we put divo in the offense changed
