There are no Answers for Victor Wembanyama
Through his first 53 games in the NBA, Victor Wembanyama has quickly shown that he is not only deserving of the Rookie of the Year award, but he very well could already be a superstar.
While the roster around Wemby isn't perfect and neither is he, the Spurs genuinely have a superstar on their hands that the league simply isn't ready to deal with.

The Knicks Just Became Contenders

After acquiring Bojan Bogdanovic and Alec Burks at the trade deadline, the Knicks have become one of, if not the deepest teams in the NBA. This comes in the midst of one of New York's best stretches in franchise history. Now, I firmly believe that once Jalen Brunson, Julius Randle, and OG Anunoby return from injury, the Knicks will have a real shot at contending for an NBA Championship for the ...
The Knicks Look UNSTOPPABLE

Ever since acquiring OG Anunoby in a trade with the Toronto Raptors back in December, the Knicks have looked like contenders.

The Problem With the Atlanta Hawks...

Despite coming just two games from a finals appearance three years ago, the Atlanta Hawks have turned into one of the most mediocre teams in the NBA after trading for Dejounte Murray. Now, with the team sitting at 16-23 and are the 11th seed out East. This is thanks in part due to the lack of fit between Trae Young and Dejounte Murray and why I think the two need to be split up sooner rather th...

It's not talk about enough... I don't want to rely on him... it was horrible watching games slip away because of him.. trade and move on... continue build around Brunson

IQ. Skills. Physicality. Mindset. The kid got the whole package ! Will belong to the greatest of all time 4 sure !🏀🇫🇷😲
To the Victor goes the spoils
This guy has multiple potential dpoy + mvp seasons at year 2 or 3... insane
originally gave you a thumbs up but had to change it to down. expand your vocabulary and stop dropping f-bombs.
Womp womp
It's HIS channel. If you don't like it then leave lmao
All the teams better hold onto them pass first pg's if they want to stop Wemby and spurs 😂
Why do you hate wemby
Remember: this will be his worst season in the NBA until he gets old enough to retire.
Insanely scary thought
Not guaranteed tho. Players peak in their 1st second or third season often
@@Goldgotgamewhat are you blabbing about goofy

Other teams keep 4 point guards in their roster to avoid the Spurs getting a good one. 😂😂😂
A true 👽
Wemby cooks everyone and every team, so lets get him a winning team and watch greatness !!!!
The league better pray he doesn't get his point guard cause lol
yesterday he did something that has NEVER been done before, he is insane
I feel like we say this everyday at this point. It’s insane.
What do y’all think Wemby’s ceiling is?
Victor's ceiling the sky.
the roof
His nickname should be Sky, because sky's the limit.
He the most underrated player in NBA
u aint the only 1 who was suffering my G.
so many teams that started the season as Eastern Conference contenders have run into problems, and the Knick's trades this season have looked really solid. Boston is still the logical favorite to take the east, but the number two spot is more up in the air. It feels like the Knick's are on the verge of overtaking Milwaukee because of how both organizations are trending and have performed relative to expectations. Dame is still a clutch offensive threat but without Jrue Milwaukee's D is atrocious so that move doesn't feel like a clear net positive for their playoff prospects, and now they've lost 4 of 6 games under Doc Rivers who is infamous for blowing playoff leads and being disliked by star players. It's still really early to be evaluating that coaching change but it seems like one that was made in desperation and could backfire in dramatic fashion. The 76ers can't be taken seriously without a healthy Embiid, the Heat have won less than half their games since the rozier trade, and the Pacers are too much of a glass cannon for a deep playoff run. The Knicks on the other hand have only overperformed and improved this season, but they have company in that department: The Cavs. The Cavs are super hot right now and play great D. I don't necessarily know if the level of success they're having at the moment is sustainable, or if it will translate into post-season success, but they've become a team I would also put over Milwaukee. So realistically I think the Knicks and Cavs are too close to call, but Boston will probably be ECF Champs regardless. It'll be interesting to see if the cavs and Knicks can keep the positive momentum through the post season and off-season and be in a more commanding position this time next year. Either way I hope the Cavs and Knicks both make deep playoff runs, the east needs a little bit of a shake-up to be competitive again and if they end up eliminating the Bucks or Celtics it's gonna light a fire under a lot of organizations.
Bogi doesn’t play defense, I don’t think he’ll be in the rotation much once we’re healthy. He’s a bigger version of Fournier…
How far do y'all think the Knicks can go in the playoffs?
Realistically the ECF especially if the team can get and remain healthy but i do think the knicks can make the Finals and maybe even win the finals if they are dealt the right cards
Good trades
My dream is trading for Mikal Bridges. How could the Nets say no to 5-6 firsts. I really believe it puts us over the edge and makes the Knicks into as big a contender as anybody in the league. Fit > star power, the way the Knicks have been building this whole time
I agree, although I don’t know if the Knicks should drop that many picks on Mikal. He’s a very good player but even if he returns to his all defensive level on that end 5-6 picks is a lot lol
@@SwiftHoops220 6 is for sure too many but I think 5 is alright. The Knicks have the mav’s 1st this year and buck’s next year. I believe the pistons 2027 will convey and be valuable, it’s top 9 protected so 10-14 is reasonable 3 years from now. Count those 3, then the Knicks pick this summer and in 2026 and you’ve got 5 picks with only 2 being the knicks own. Don’t even need to trade for a superstar I think the fit is so perfect it makes them real contenders right there
How does Mikal fit? Woudlnt Embiid be better
No doubt mikal would be a solid fit but in no world is he worth 5-6 firsts. There's very few guys in the league worth that many picks and mikal is not one of them. I can't see Brooklyn even asking for that much
@@DarkStout. yeah of course I’d rather them not spend that many picks but that’s how willing and confident I am that bridges would be the piece they need, if he’s available (stupid if he isn’t IMO) just make the best offer
KNICKS look good 👍
Let's go Knicks! I'd say the odd man out rn is Grimes, but it seems he's getting the space to figure things out
He about to be packaged for brogdon
What moves (if any) should the Knicks make before the deadline?
Brogdon. Fournier, 1st and a Second.
Damn good, just saw him come off the bench against Lakers and literally cooked them by himself. Keep him on the floor coach, you see what he’s doing..🏀💪🏼🦵🏽
I just want to see Trae traded to the spurs already
Trea Young is nothing more than a want to be . Look at John Collins it took a minute but John is doing well in utah .Trea's ego is the problem he thinks he's Jordan or Bryant .He is overrated.
John Collins problem wasn't Trae. They always worked well together. Coaching changes, and Front Office wanting to trade him.
You don’t know ball…
Trae Young, Dejounte Murray, Clint Capela and Jalen Johnson should NOT be included in any Atlanta Hawks trade. De'Andre Hunter, Bogdan Bogdanovic & Bruno Fernando should be grouped in a trade. Onyeka Okongwu is best asca back up at the 4, with AJ Griffin and Vit Krejci backing up Dejounte Murray at the 2, for the Atlanta Hawks. Saddiq Bey, Patty Mills and Wesley Matthews are all in their last year of their NBA contract. Current Detroit Pistons James Wiseman is in the final year of his contract and he would be perfect at the 4 for the Atlanta Hawks.
You seriously think that jazz are tank and can get this point? They are wrecking it.
There is no way that the jazz are trading him
I’d rather move Trae than Murray if I was the hawks lol
I’m interested to hear why you think that
Cause DJ isn’t a far fall off and can play d. It’s just hard to let Trae go cause he offensively top tier. Also we could get way more in return while still keeping a very solid pg in Murray if Trae is traded. But I like em both tbh. This sucks lol😂
the knicks will glady give 3 1st round pick for trey with randle.
DJM Bridges Johnson and Johnson is a solid core. Unless they can get their picks back from SAS Trae is the better candidate to be traded for Mikal and Cam and picks. Won’t happen though as Trae sells tickets and Resslers are more motivated by ticket sales than winning. Once World Cup comes and goes they will sell Hawks as a real estate play

@@garywarmeriiidk who “okyunwyu” is but Clint capela is closer to not being a top 20 center than he is top 6 lol
Centers better than Clint Capela Jokic Embiid Gobert Chet Jalen Duren Mitchell Robinson Jarett Allen Bam Adebayo Victor Wembanyama Nikola Vucevic Domantas Sabonis Anthony Davis Nic Claxton Brook Lopez Kristaps Porzingis Myles Turner Alperen Sengun
@@garywarmeriiyeah man you just don’t know what you’re talking about I’m not wasting my time with this lol. I’m not even trying to sound mean but you’re literally saying things that aren’t true or don’t make sense
Especially after the last two games.
Utah got a real nowitzki!!
This dude is going NOWHERE mark my words, Danny Ainge is not stupid or blind. Hardy has his attention and they’re creating a good relationship. I don’t think the jazz should do anything except try to get olnyk to resign and just keep playing with this intensity and believing in one another and they’re a legit contender IMO.
People keep saying that OKC has plenty of picks to dish out to acquire talent. Which is true, but the problem is everyone seems to forget that Utah has 14 first round picks up to 2029. It's the one team in the league that doesn't care about OKC's stash of picks. They would have to give up talent to get Markkanen, and they're not going to do that. Giddey plus a few firsts wouldn't get it done. Add Chet and Dort and remove the picks. OKC would obviously say no, but Ainge won't let Lauri go for less.
not just best 7 foot shooter but one of the best shooters overall
him and joel together would feed families
The knicks need to trade julius rands be for the off
Jazz looking to tank??? C'mon man...
For sure. If that’s what they’re doing, they’re doing a terrible job lol. 14-4 in the last 18 games is not tanking.
floor is shaq, ceiling is kareem
I watched a sga draft prospect video the other day. He improved on his strengths and turned his weaknesses into strengths as well. It’s remarkable to see the player he has become in contrast to the player he was. I say all that to say that if Chet improves in a similar manner. He will be something we have never seen at his size. Even more so than what we’ve seen in him now.
I subbed.
I'm generally in the boat that says leave the team as is and don't trade before the deadline. But then I remembered when the Bulls traded for Rodman - an elite rebounder - and it took them to that next level.If they do trade, they should get an elite rebounder. Heck even just someone who gets 10-13 a game. Hartenstein comes to mind right away. He's a great rebounder and shot blocker who doesn't need to score (they have plenty of scorers). For a big man, he passes good - which fits the bill with the Thunder. He's hot rn and you wouldn't have to trade a ton for him. Or also, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I agree with this narrative decently enough but as a Knicks fan I don’t think Hartenstein would be available unfortunately. At the very least I hope not because my heart can’t handle Precious Achiuwa starting center minutes
Chet(208lb frame this yr) is ROY. He could score more but he only cares about efficiency& not taking away from teammates game. He has been even better in 4th qtr of close games. Theres been about 6 or 7 games where he was the difference maker hitting huge shots in last min of game.
Really good content. I am subbed, especially if you make more Thunder content 😍
If they keep this up I’ll have to
Okc are giving Portland the business right now
