Wizards Gift Knicks 2026 First Round Pick?! | Knicks News
THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING! The Knicks are legit contenders to win the championship this season. But even more than that, they are developing the young players and they’re in line to get even more draft picks. But likely not the one they expected. NY owns Washington’s first round pick, with protections that allow Washington to keep it if it falls within the top 8. But recently, they have been winning and that actually changes everything for New York… in the best way possible! Troy Mahabir breaks all of this down!

IM A KNICKS FAN WERE NOT WINNING A CHIP WITH THIS TEAM WE NEED TO MAKE A MOVE WE NEED A BIG BEY OR MOVE KAT FOR GIANNIS AND WE NEED A BACKUP PG KOLEK IS NOT THE ANSWER CANT DEFEND
If the NY Knicks get the Washington Wizards draft pick that turns into the first round pick. They can draft a Top collegiate Center to replace Mitchell Robinson.
Knicks fans will see that.
.
Happy New Year Troy Peace and Love ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️
Blessed new year Troy n my Knicks fan, 🇯🇲🙏🔥🔥🔥
COMON WASHINGTON COMON GIVE US THAT PICK 🥳
Im confused?
Wizards have to be better then 10 teams. It ain't happening.
Wizards will trade or waive/buyout McCollum if they keep winning
I’m rooting for the Wizards!! Let’s go guys get these wins!!!
If wenby and jokic have serious injuries, OKC will have much easier path to finals.
This 1st round pick is going to be sooooooooooo important for the Knicks this year, especially if the Bucks want the pick in negotiations for trading Giannis here YASSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Great work again thank you for the content
Hi Troy, thank you for the update. Happy New Year 🎆
Happy new year s Let's go knicks time too finish the job!
How stupid are u it’s top 8 protected and they the 3rd worst team moron
This is content inflation. The Wizards have every incentive to protect the pick and will. This isn’t even a real discussion smh.
Yes Knicks are hot right now but if we don’t start chasing everyone off the 3 point line winning a championship will not happen
Troy, there is 3/4 of the season to go. This video was unnecessary.
🤣🤣
The pick is Top 8 protected. I doubt Washingotn is going to let it convey. I can almost guarantee the Wizards will release Middleton, and other vets to to make sure they keep the pick. Its actually not a bad thing if Washington gets a top two pick as the 2nd Round pick would be high for Knicks. High 2nd Rounders are more valuable due to salary cap, deep draft, and also the Clips may forfeit their 1st round pick so every pick moves up one. We have one first and 3 2nds as we stand.
Nice, thanks for the update, hopefully these Wiz can win 5 or more games.
Sidenote: I'm hoping if we go all the way(if we stay healthy I think it's pretty much a lock) that we see San Antonio in the finals, our experience would be too much for them, I see that being a 6 game series. We got a take the first two games, or at least one of the first two(if both are away) & then both at MSG to get a 3-1 lead. Better to win one at the opponents home sooner then later, the later it is, the harder it is. We need that chip!(I also rather see two teams that haven't been to the finals in awhile & like different matchups, this would be a first)
They won’t let that happen
Wont happen but the second round pics are strong though
chris boucher change of scenery and has resume and friends with og
Remember Miami chose losing over play in not to give us a pick
The Wizards are not a playoff team but they are not horrible
The season is only 1/4 over. More likely the Wizards revert to their old ways and end up bottom 8. In fact, if you're the Wizards GM you'll ensure that happens. But hey, the 2nd rounder they pass on to the Knicks will be high
You mad extra, just say the Pick is top 8 protected, wizards finish wit pick 9 or later it belongs to the knicks
Knicks getting the 9th pick in this deep draft class would be extremely exciting. We can even move up due to salary issues we could see especially with contracts of Mitch and McBride. Both deserve it.
Wizards fan here🙋🏾♂️I love your energy & it’s a smart take to get clicks 👍🏿 However, CJ is being shopped as you speak & Middleton will be bought out. The Go Go (Wiz D league team) will be starting for the Wizards by the end of the season but nice try 😅
A wing and a prayer is what the Knicks need. But there is always hope😇🙏🏽
This is a great selling point if we are still trying to acquire Gianns at the deadline!
If you think the Washington wizards I'm going to win games useless thinking the season is too early…
Too much wishful thinking
mot going to happen
This goof a certified troll
Too early to tell because anything can happen…
