Knicks Setting up MASSIVE Trade for Center... 

We drafted Duren and Traded him to Detroit for nothing. Stop reaching! We are good with what we have!! Boston didn't win because of the 5 out scheme, they won because they have phenomenal wings. We have the counter to that!

@@kaliefpurrier410 it would be nice to defend the rim against Jaylen Brown and Jason Taytum. They are monsters attacking the rim.

@@kaliefpurrier410 Yea Porzingas and Harford were irrelevant.

Except the chances of that pick going to the Knicks are very low, as I believe it is top 13 protected. So, the Pistons are going to be able to keep it anyways. And NO, that pick, and a player the Pistons will not have interest in, plus some more 2nds will not “do the job”. The rumor is the Pistons might use Duran as the key part of a Ingram trade. Why the Pistons would do this is beyond me.

I agree & right now it's taking so long for them to do something

Yesterdays front office IS NOT todays front office!

@@24nysedadon the same can be said for new Pistons GM- *he's NOT giving up DUREN just b/c the Knicks are interested....SMH!!!!!*

Kessler is not going to happen...

And Thibs and staff can get him to be an average defender at the rim. If they make a trade like this, they're contenders for 5 or 6 years instead of 3 or 4

Lol

What’s the package then, it’s a genuine question

@@yagottabelieve5116 due to contract most likely would be randle and maybe Mitch and picks for sengun and some other player to match salary

I mean their fans should be up in arms that they didn't draft Castle if that's what they wanted. You're starting McBride, Shepard and Jalen Green? You're assuming someone takes FVV? Think before you speak and you might have a better time in your everyday life.

I think he needs a good coach and he'll become a ruthless defender

who da fuq is *Jelan Durent* ? smh

Thanks man I appreciate it!

Bruh why are you sick of them it’s a good thing we need a center wether it’s a starter or backup it’s good to hear they aren’t doing nothing and running it with Jericho as the backup

I agree idc what anyone says Leon does not talk to anyone for anyone to know what the knicks plans are so ppl are just going click bate.. im just going to trust Leon and let him do what best for the team.

You don't put two and two together that they think they need a Center?

Its apart of the sport, I had to ignore it also! I feel you!

this rumor with Duren is by far the worse.... *Pistons ownership has pretty much viewed DUREN as the 2nd most unmovable part of Detroit's future, right behind Cade Cunningham* We stole Duren from your dumb GM in '22 (he gave him to us for practically nothing)....smh

The coaching staff might think that. They know Mitch can't play 30 mins a night. It's not biologically possible. If you bring in a Center to take more mins that isn't established, he will run to social media and be a distraction

Exactly my point

Didn't you just answer your own question ? It's Thibs job to make him better at those things .............

What are you attempting to say?

What are you having trouble understanding?

@@jbischmann what is an offensive counterweight? Muslim? Politics? You sound like a whack job

Duren does for Detroit, agreed on Sengun

@@knicksdigest by not making sense I actually mean it doesn’t make sense their teams want to trade them

@@knicksdigest stick to your day job!!!!! 🤣

@@knicksdigest please put down the CRACK pipe- thank you.

If Mitchell Robinson is included in that trade, then the Knicks will be back at square one requiring ANOTHER center to back-up Sengun. Right now the Knicks need an additional center either for the bench to back-up Mitchell Robinson, or as a starter with Michell Robinson coming off the bench.

@@fidel2xl the Knicks have back up centers. They don't have a starter. Mitch is a coin toss in terms of availability. Sengun is top 3 big man passer in the league

@@manueladasilva8492 - The narrative of Mitchell Robinson being injury prone is a false narrative. For context, Isiah Hartenstein and Mitchell Robinson entered the NBA in the same 2018 draft year, but Hartenstein has only played 2 more regular season games than Mitchell Robinson. IHart has played 322 regular season games while Mitchell Robinson has played 320 regular season games. Also, Mitchell Robinson’s injuries has been CONTACT injuries from actually playing defense and relentlessly fighting for rebounds, and landing awkwardly on someone’s foot…OR being purposely injured by dirty players like Joel Embiid who grabs his ankle as he (MRobinson) goes up for a dunk. Remember, Mitchell Robinson played in the 2023 playoffs series against the Cavs and totally manhandled both of the Cavs centers (Jarrett Allen and Mobley). And when he went down with injury on November 2023, most people thought that the Knicks was doomed because no one had faith in IHart at that time. Just reminding everyone.

@@fidel2xl that's his peak. 6.5 ppg. 39%free throw shooter, 0.8 assists a game. He's good as a rebounder and shot blocker. not very mobile on the peremiter, gets injured, can't pass, can't shoot. Solid back up. Not a starter whatsoever on a championship team

@@manueladasilva8492 - Well duh…but Mitchell Robinson was on pace to finish top 3 (or top 2) in the DPOY race. That was what he was there for…the paint protecter, which mostly forced opponents to take tougher shots from the perimeter. The Knicks did not need him to be a scoring center. Also, you’re factually incorrect: Mitchell Robinson’s peak PPG is 9.7 PPG (career is 8.0 PPG)…his peak FT % is .600 (career FT average is 0.52)…and his peak APG is 0.9 (career APG is .6). Btw, you were conflating his playoffs average (with limited playoff games) with his career numbers.

They need at least 1 more center. Even if Ariel Hukporti turns out to be better than most think, Robinson is very injury prone & Sims has been useless.

Never 5 on 4. Because his offensive rebounds at a high rate. Often getting double teamed to stop him from getting a rebound, that leaves wings open. You don't watch the Knicks. His rebounding is a legitimate threat. He contributes about 16 second chance points for his team and that's not counting the little 6 points he scores himself!! That production plus his defense, makes him very valuable.

Clown emoji not necessary. This channel is one of the best on YT for Knicks analysis. Why can’t Thibs and the coaches help Sengun learn how to defend more effectively?

Shengun???? They would be better off getting Steven Adam's as a back up. Yall fake analysts kill me lol!!! KAT is making 49 mil a year!!! There's no way the Knicks get him. We couldn't even keep Hartenstien.... how do you expect to get this man who makes 49 million per year?!?

@@kaliefpurrier410 I watch every game homie: it’s great but how many games has he played the last 6 years. He can’t score blessings a dunk. When he has the ball in the paint, he looks scared and passes the rock. I watch every game.
