Knicks Want Donte DiVincenzo BACK! Insider REVEALS NY’s Trade Plans For Former Knick | Knicks News
this is insane the Knicks could be seeking to reunite with former Nick Dante Devincenzo according to reports during the year the Knicks trade plans had them bringing back Dante Devincenzo this off season we’re going to break down all of these latest reports today but before we get started about 52% of you watching this video right now are not subscribed to the channel if you’re enjoying the

and now let’s get started the Knicks want Dante Deenzo to return to New York one player the fans never wanted to see leave the team was Dante Devenenzo i remember the trade to Minnesota like it was yesterday and oddly enough in that trade we lost Julius Randall who was with the Knicks for a much longer time but after that trade went down many Nick fans were more upset that Dante Devincenzo was included in that deal and to be honest the trade for Carl Anthony Towns does not happen if Dincenzo is not part of the deal however according to the latest reports New York had plans to always bring back Dante Danchenzo to this team let’s break down these latest reports from NBA insider Chris Persiani shout out to Chris Persiani on the app X for giving us this following information here according to him had heard around New Year’s that the Knicks had internal discussions about a potential reunion with Dante Devincenzo in this upcoming off season but aside from things changing as they tend to Jeremy makes a good case for why you can consider that unlikely but even though it’s unlikely it’s not impossible and remember the report is speaking about the Knicks bringing Dante Dvenenzo back this off season which technically has not started yet i want to remind everybody that Dante Dvenenzo still has two years left on his contract which will pay him about 24.4 million his current team the Minnesota Timberwolves could feel maxed out after another Western Conference Finals loss and could look to shake things up for next year minnesota has to figure out what to do with free agent Nquille Alexander Walker as well as Nas Reed and Mike Connley who will be free agents next summer perhaps the Timberwolves get overwhelmed and if they do maybe they ship Devincenzo back to New York for a mini reset this is a possibility not a guarantee chances are unlikely though for a ton of reasons specifically his contract at the moment i think a reunion doesn’t happen right now however if you’re asking me potentially in the future or if Devontenzo gets traded for let’s say Kevin Durant or another player at that point in time could I see the Knicks swooping in and trying to get Denzo back on the team absolutely but it’s going to have to be in that specific situation but even though it’s unlikely like the report stated unlikely does not mean impossible and to hear reports that New York had plans during New Year during January to bring Dante Devenenzo back to this team that tells you that Leon Rose and this Knicks front office they’re not only thinking about the moment they’re thinking about the future what this team needs in the future and don’t get me wrong or anything but Dante Dincenzo off the bench imagine we had a player like him during the Pacers series coming off the bench instant offense can defend can shoot the three ball and has chemistry built with the Nova Knicks what else did you want what else could you utilize during the postseason it’s not hard to understand why New York wants to bring back Dante Danchenzo his ties to the team his connections to the team his connection to our superstar Jaylen Brunson but also his fit it’s not like he can’t play basketball i want to remind everybody he had one of the best years of his entire career playing for the Knicks not only because of the chemistry but because we gave him a role we gave him time and he was appreciated by everybody fans coaching staffs and players alike getting Dante Devincenzo back during this off seasonason adding him to the bench that would be an incredible update and I want to mention that trade for Carl Anthony Towns does everybody remember initially what the trade package was because Dante Deenzo was not part of the initial trade package the only reason and I want to stress this again the only reason the Knicks included Dante Danchenzo is because if they didn’t Carl Anthony Towns right now would not be a New York Knick julius Randall would still be on this team but because the Knicks and Randall were so far off in terms of extension talks they needed to move him and the only way to move Randall and get an impactful player like Carl Anthony Towns was to include Dante Devincenzo but initially the Knicks wanted to move Mitchell Robinson and Julius Randall the plan always looked like they wanted to keep the Nova four together they didn’t want to break up that group because clearly they worked very hard trying to get them together not only because of the chemistry but they felt having that type of core would have helped them during the postseason and maybe it would have unfortunately we’re not going to know right now but who knows in a few weeks a few months maybe even a year we don’t know the exact time period but I think it’s only a matter of time before New York makes a move and brings Dante Deenzo back to the Knicks i mean look at the reports again again according to Chris Persiani the Knicks had internal discussions about a potential reunion with Dante Devincenzo this upcoming off season why would that change now what would make that change now it’s not like we don’t need more help off the bench we do it’s not like we don’t need more depth pieces we do and it’s not like the cap is preventing us from making those great upgrades because it is we have limited cap space we cannot go out in free agency and sign a number of players that type of route doesn’t exist for this Knicks team so how do we get better how do we make this roster better than it was last year the only way to do that the only real way to do that is to make a trade now you can make minor trades mid-level trades or blockbuster trades if we’re talking about blockbuster trades we’re talking about Giannis we’re talking about Kevin Durant we’re talking about superstars if we’re talking about star trades then you can pick among the lot of the number of star players around the league and then they’re the role players or the very good players not quite stars but right under the level and maybe that’s where Dante Deenzo is now why do I mention that because depending on what level you’re at star role player superstar that’s going to influence what cost and Leon Rose in this Knicks front office they’re averse to a cost that’s too high they’re never going to play like that if you want to do business with Leon Rose then you have to make sure you come to the table with not only a fair offer but an offer that makes sense logically because if it doesn’t Leon Rose has already shown in the past if something looks really good but at the last second it changes he’s going to walk away let me give you an example of that a few years ago the Knicks were this close to adding Paul George PG-13 and that deal fell through at the last second why pg-13 went like this oh yeah I want an extension leon got off that table walked out of that room and we never heard about it again that tells you that Leon if things even change a little bit he’s not going to make the same move however if he can get the right deal that he wants structured in the way that he likes he’ll make any deal that means it’s only a matter of time before they execute that deal and bring Devincenzo back and once that happens I am going to lose my mind that’s an addition that we need it’s a winning move and everybody in New York would welcome Deenzo back with open arms we never never wanted to trade him we never wanted to see him go so him coming back him coming back to the Knicks that reunion will be the most lit reunion in the city i promise you all New York needs to do is make it happen and in that front office we have Leon Rose trust me when I say if Dante Devincenzo was ever gonna come back to this team the person I want in charge making that deal is Leon Rose and thankfully we have everything in order now all it takes is a phone call a trade and a deal to happen but what about you guys what do you think about these reports suggesting that the Knicks had internal discussions to bring back Dante Devenenzo this off seasonason let me know how you feel about that in the comments section below guys because honestly I would love to hear from you but that’s going to do it for this episode i hope you enjoyed it and if you did go ahead and smash that like button leave a comment below and of course guys please subscribe to the channel until next time Nick fans take care of yourself your families and each other peace and

LETS MOVE ON‼️‼️‼️🤨🤨🤨🤨
Lakers want AD back, Mavericks want Luka back, bucks want Jrue holiday back, etc
The Timberwolves most likely gonna want Bridges.
Keep Mitch 🖐🏿
I would like to have donte back he's the fuel we missing
Still not enough
Our championship Roster should have been: Brunson, OG, Hartenstien, Mitch, Donte, Deuce and Precious!!!
● That's subjective! Thibs was aware of DiVincenzo's value. The issue was that he needed to be utilized wisely in terms of rotation, rather than being overused like Hart & Randle—no pun intended.
● Realistically, as we understand now, Hart's value is comparable to that of John Starks, a true '6-man/glue guy.' Thibs did him a favor, and we must also consider the potential mismatches that could have negatively impacted DiVincenzo's stock for the future.
● You can't simply employ an elite player on the court for the sake of it; their role must align with the team's objectives and ambitions. It's not rocket science!
● If it were, every NBA team, including those in smaller markets, would find themselves in the NBA Finals, rather than seeing matchups between mid market vs large market teams.
● Plus, there would be no narratives to create for "continuity".
Wish they never let him go in the 1st place. Specially knowing he dod not want to leave NY!!! It showed when got to Minnesota. He looked and played uncomfortable.I do understand to get Katt. We wouldn't have Katt if Dante was not part of the trade.
Go get him
While they’re at it, bring back Hartenstein and Obi Tobin.
We definitely needed a Shooter, Enforcer and another PG to take over when Brunson went out
I would take Divencenzo back in a heartbeat 💪
I hope out of all rumors this is true Donte plays great with all his former teammates and is a force off the bench this dude can go off from bench and can hit big shots and plays good d. I remember him going off for 35 off bench one game. He catches fire and starts flame throwing spot up, he moves great without ball, and has a ton of playoff experience. Imagine the knicks running a bench with Shamet Kennard if they can get him and Donte, with a pass first minded pg like Kolec developed if they can turn his attitude around. This would be an insane second unit, keep kat in work on his passing more once they double him you’d have 3 point snipers all over court. They’d be able to play slow paced bully ball in one lineup and switch up to a run and gun 3 point air raid. If dantoni wasn’t retired I’d say get him as assistant coach, the bench and play style would be so malleable to pace of game. This would what I’d shoot towards for team. People talk about kat like he’s a chump but how many big men you know that can shoot close to 90 from the stripe close to 40 from behind arc and has touch to go right or left and shoot floaters that are jump shots to other players. Bring in a veteran hire an outside source to work on his defense and develop it. Shit why not hire someone like a Charles Oakley Knicks legend to work one on one with kat. That kid has immense talent and people overlook it because of defensive flaws, but no reason to trade him, he can be fixed. Neither the wolves or Knicks have put in the work to help fix him, imagine he becomes even remotely competent as a defender, he would be a top 10 player easily.
Bring back Donte, let’s get going.
BRING BACK DANTE !!!!
What about Randle I feel like nobody has any respect for him he was the one who brought New York Knicks basketball back to life
Please do please do Thank you bring deebo back find a way 💙🧡💙🧡
They never replaced him although Shamet is capable, Donte was killing it… we still miss Donte and want him back!!
Bring him back!!! He should’ve never been traded!
You know they will move Mickal Bridges if he does not take lesss money @The Knicks Recap? Donte for Mickal Bridges wha yall say ?
Ant man is big on Donte. Might not be easy
id rather have hartenstein back but if that's not doable, then dante is a decent consolation prize. kennard would be interesting too.
Arriva again big ragu donte divincenso back again to reunite Villanova boys let's go Nova Knicks!!!!
why put out videos about things that will defenitely not happen?
That Villanova crap is over. It was cute in college but this is pros
Yes please bring Donte back, he's definitely missed
I would not come back to the Knicks .. without matching Brunsons' contract
Donte is a perfect fit for the Knicks. Leon Rose can do it.
Let's get him back home and get this RING already!!! Goshh…
Do it do it now😮😮😮😅
Like the most liked comment said, Jesus Christ is the only way we get Dante. I just don’t see them giving him up for anything we have that we don’t need.
Why the hell you ALWAYS yelling into the damn mic?!?!
Find a way to get involved in an impossible 3 team trade to steal him
No way is he coming back. His contract to big 24 mil there is only one gut to match. That is bridges , there is no way the knicks trading bridges straight up 4 Dante. The only way I can see it is if Minnesota gives the knicks some first rounders . If thats the case I would do this deal Dante and 3 first rounders
I don't want him back. He doesn't, in my opinion have the mindset of a new Yorker. Basically, he doesn't fit. Something is off. I sincerely, want to separate this nova click. If you notice.. it keeps players on the outside. A team needs to play as a whole. This isn't brunsons organization. It is the Knicks, the Knickerbockers, the nyk… Organization needs to understand that when you allow a premadonna, to influence decisions, you aren't looking out for the best of the team. This is my opinion anyhow. Get rid of the drama..
He didn’t have a role with the wolves .. if he wants to play you go to back to New York..
He ain't saving the fake star brunson Knicks need to stop the Villanova shit already
It’s never gonna happen they already said they have no interest in trading him at all or letting him go
The whole offseason played out the way it did because they couldn’t sign I-Hart back. I don’t blame him but these NBA free agent rules are over the top in a lot of cases. That made them have to get a center
Back to be Busted again 💯
Trade Mikal for him
