Bro tripping, this was a great move for the Knicks. They added another shooter, 20 point scorer and another defender. They also added Tyler kolek last night and still have more first rounders left.
@@Eastnewyork2106Bridge is definitely not a scorer from a technical standpoint. But he is capable of scoring 25 points any given night. He won’t need to score much with Brun and my guy No Handle Randle on the court.
The knicks were NEVER 1-2 games behind Boston. Where do yall get this stuff from? The closest they got the entire season was 5.5 games behind the Celtics. The funny part about that is, they didn’t touch the 2nd seed until the last game of the season. Nobody was close.
Having a bench is great. But on the starting 5, boston wins 4 out of 5 matchups. The matchup you do win, with Brunson over d white or Jrue, that's going to be less than you think with more talent around. The knicks are trying to incorporate over 55ppg into their starting lineup from a ball dominate PG with average distributing skills. Don't get me wrong, it's a good problem to have but it takes monumental sacrifices. Think about all the hate & criticism tatum took for sacrificing. Is Julius ready to sacrifice like that? Is brunson? Even if they are, how does it work? They have some figuring out to do.
@wannabegolfin24-72 OG and Bridges, defensively make it a challenge for Tatum and Brown KP is always hurt and Boston can't play the starters the whole game.
@@winstonellis1240maybe not but their bench players are underrated. Al is Al, hauser, Pritchard, then some of the other pieces continuing to develop. Also, OG is injured as much as KP is
@@Pats308 matchups bruh, if you have a feel for what your watching and not just a espn highlights expert you would know from watching both parties play in clutch situations brown and Tatum are woke!
Neither of those two are even close to as good as an offensive player as Brown, nevermind Tatum. Cool off big bro. Defense will be tough with that small lineup tho.
I've been a Knicks fan for over 35 years and unlike a lot of our fanbase I refuse to evaluate the Knicks through Blue & Orange lenses. Draymond unfortunately is right. All teams build an identity. The identity of this current Knicks roster is gritty & tough. The problem with that is that skill & talent are always going to win out the deeper you get into the postseason. It's a bit head scratching that this Front Office who is now going into Season 5 has NEVER added a dynamic shot creator with athleticism in their tenure. Based off what New Orleans just landed Dejounte Murray for, we could've saved 2 1st Round Draft picks & addressed a bigger need. Mikal is solid, OG is solid, Donte is solid, JHart is solid, McBride is solid...but all of these perimeter players are limited on the ball & are not capable of initiating an offense. Brunson is a great undersized ISO scorer, but a below average playmaker and he does not get easy baskets in the halfcourt being undersized & limited athletically. The Knicks halfcourt offense is still going to be mediocre again in the playoffs.
"You need guys who can get a bucket by any means necessary" I agree with that statement. But the Celtics don't have that guy. The Knicks do in Brunson. The Celtics even beat Luka who's the best ,"get a bucket"guy in the nba. The Celtics showed a great team can beat a great individual
I'm trying to listen to this guy, but damn it's hard. Dude is talking like he's a great player. Imagine him on another team. Would he still be in the league and have a podcast anyone would listen to? Why can't some of us just be happy and blessed without thinking we're beyond what we are? When the Warriors need a bucket, tight game, bruh you on the beach!!!😂
Dre you a Older Player Who I respect your opinion, But you remind me of a Propeller plane in the army saying a Arrow Fighter Jets are good but I don't see them get you over the hump. Dre, what are the Knicks supposed to do lie down and do nothing that's Crazy" What the Knick's did do is able to develop a franchise to compete With Boston and Leon Rose Has provided us knicks fans hope. Something we have not had For over 30 years. GO KNICKS!!!!!
Dray just talking. It's kinda his job. Knicks will contend as long as Brunson is healthy. If the Knicks don't win (or at least come close) in the next couple years, Thibs and/or Randle might be shown the door, but they are not going to blow the whole thing up.
So i’ll make it simple. The Knicks were , healthy and flat footed right on pace with Boston. They are now a super team. They are built right, balanced, committed and defensively gifted.
Draymond Green you need a life, you’re focusing too much on the Knicks. You’re a nobody as the NY Knicks fans are concerned. The Nova Knicks are the best things for our team. You’re jalous of their friendship, These men are winners and we love them. Don’t worry about the Knicks, they are going to be alright!
As a Knick fan can I say bridges is the same player as you not a big factor on other teams but for Knicks he be amazing same with you with warriors any other team I don’t see draymond 💁
I respect his honest assessment. It really comes down to playoff Julius. He has not been a bucket getter in the playoffs in the past. If playoff Julius can match regular season All NBA Julius, we might just get a ring
Dam Draymond as bad as you hate on my beloved NY Knicks you are 34 years old and you have more Grey hair then me and I'm 56 years old. Try to reverse that Grey because by time you get 44 you might be greyier then Poppa Smurf. 😅
No Dray you are wrong. Most of the players will stay here for 5 yrs. We building something here. Just like you guys did. We ain’t rebuilding in a few yrs. Watch us smoke Boston
impact of having the current roster: cant double brunson 27 ppg cant double randle 20 & 10 two of the best 2 way wings in the league to guard the best players bench depth strengthened(donte/hart) still will be a top 3 rebounding team in the nba 3pt shooting % increases based on current roster 3 high impact scoring options at the end of games(brunson,mikal,randle) chemistry off the charts with nova connection playoff experience! yet according to draymond they dont get over the hump.... see yall next season. 😃
Whaddup Draymond my homie used to work the parking lot at a big time parking lot in East Lansing, said he met you and your people’s bout 2 years ago, dope story bro. Respect.
With a healthy KP, Boston still better, but KP is rarely healthy. Without him, Knicks vs Boston becomes really interesting. Gotta wait n see what Philly does with their cap space to see if they’re in that mix.
Ahhh so I'm gonna stop you. The rudy trade had good players and a ton of picks. The knicks gave up a 34 year old who is getting worse, 4 picks that are the knicks(which wont be good because we'll be competing) and a bucks pick next year. We really didnt give up much .
Bridges is young and is on a upside, plus he's a good fit. The knicks still have picks as well. We still have a future and we have tradable pieces too.Og signing made the trade solidified. Don't worry they'll show you when they play yall next season.
Knicks will be a second apron team for 3 of 5 years by the time those later picks come around, with or without Mikal, and according to the CBA, that means those picks will be "set to the end of the round". No matter what, they'll be in the 26th-30th range, purely because of CBA rules, not wins/losses. But Draymond's job here is just to say stuff, not to actually know stuff.
This guy is such a Knicks hater. I wish he would just go away! Please do us all a favor retire and shut up. This was a great deal and like other players in the league their hate for the Knicks is so intense they can’t admit that the organization is actually having success and developing a winning culture
Inured u mean Randle out that's our second scorer philly had Maxey and Embiid we was injured our self we needed Randle in that series them guys folded brunson was kicking they ass
1) So ultimately you think they (The Knicks) should have kept the picks... for how long sir? When do you finally push your chips all in? 2) The Knicks are in a WAY better position to challenge for a title than your team (The Golden State Warriors) lol. 3) You keep speaking on how much people quit on things so fast yet you are not even letting the Knicks have a moment to prove what they can do. They made it to the 2nd round with 1/2 a team.... stop being a hypocrite sir.
You know what else won’t work ? You on the warriors still . We in much better position then yall . Stop talking about us for clicks and go worry bout ya team
Buddy, Mikal bridges trade has nothing to do with TJ gobert trade! Knicks got taxed because the nets knew their desperation to get the “nova Knicks” together….. Mikal is only worth that many picks to the Knicks! In an open market he is not getting traded for that much!
haters gonna hate lol.. knicks wil be better than yall. those picks will be late picks. we had so many that it didnt matter. the knicks were better than the warriors the last 2 seasons lol. stop hating
Not the biggest Draymond fan but I agree with him saying Knicks getting Mikal Bridges won’t get them back to the finals. The Knicks are just simply copycatting the Celtics, but that doesn’t necessarily means they’re going to the finals. I’m sure if they face the Celtics at some point in the playoffs the Celtics knowing they’re using some of their style of play and tactics they will have a counterattack as well. On top of that the Celtics still are the better team all the way around even with these new tweaks the Knicks created.
My only issue with Draymond is he truly believes he was at some point a superstar. He talks as if he was the main reason the Warriors won rings, so we should be so honored to hear what he has to say. He truly believes he was as good as Barkley as a player and as good as Charles on the mic now. The reality is he was part of the core that played the roll they needed from him at an elite level. But at the same time, they still were good enough to win rings without him. Maybe not as many, but still would have won without him. And that's something Draymond would never ever want to hear, yet he thinks we should hear all the nonsense he has to say
With the team we have we can bring the celtics to 7 games. But who takes the series will be conditional on which bigs are healthier. I think its going to come down to a number of scenarios If Porzingus is healthy and Robinson is not healthy: Celtics If Porzingus is not healthy and Robinson isnt either: Celtics If Porzingus is not healthy and Robinson is healthy: Knicks The ladder is the most unlikely scenario.
Knicks needed to keep Hartenstein so bad.. Dude was putting up incredible numbers.. smdh.. I would have kept IH and traded for Caruso. Robinson is still a very good C. The only problem is he's injured a lot. They should be looking for a strong alternative C. Randle could be a huge help to them this season. I'm not sure who would want Randle and for who.. if they were to consider trying to trade him anyways. Speaking of team's fkn up.. My Pacers fkd up royally when trading for Pascal. Pacers could have had OG, Hartenstein and another 3rd on a minimum. Kept their picks for this draft and 26' 1st.. Traded up to added Kel'el Ware.. then added Terrance Shannon Jr. Something like that. Jamal Shead, or Keshad Johnson. Or traded those into next season to improve that draft. I liked Klintman, or Jaylen Wells as projects. I think you guy's did solid adding Post.. Only a few team's are very smart with their 2nd round draft picks. Pacers have notoriously screwed up on those. Had Pacers not added OG, even though I think they would have if patient. There would have been DeMar DeRozan, or KCP and they could have swung Nembhard for a Caruso and most likely even gotten a 1st from CHI. Keeping themselves full of assets and control over their Cap space is key. Especially being a young developing team they should have been... Now all they did was fk up the team that could have been great in year's to come.. Because now, you've not only fkd yourself of signing like 3 player's to one Pascal.. But you also are losing out on Jarace your 7th overall pick.. Because now you have nowhere to play him... He could have developed into a pretty solid PF. I don't think he's a capable player for any other position at a consistent level. He's too heavy and feet are too slow to switch and guard SF/SG's.. smdh... like how the hell did they not see this.. Could have signed Bridges at PF. Dealt Jarace and gotten picks.. Pascal is an empty stats guy.. dude shoots like 45%fg and 30%3pt shots most often.. never having a consistent, or big game. Doesn't ever draw a double.. teams let him shoot.. Defensive Rating of 121. Despite the fact he can read defense and stay with his man. He fools you into thinking he's that good.. Because despite that, he's not stopping anyone. No blocks or steals and only single digit rebounds.. turns it over a couple time's a game. Never stretches the floor, when he does he's clanking 3's.. Or he will do frustrating bs like spin towards the basket. Shrink himself, fall to the ground and brick a layup. All because the defense only stayed with him. He plays with 0 tenacity at all.. and we already have Turner who doesn't play with tenacity most the time.. so that's a big problem.. I'm about fed up being a Pacers fan fr.. I'm gonna start watching other team's this year for the most part. Try and find a new team to rep.. Followed them my whole life. Getting tried of the cheap azz owner and bad decisions.
Knicks have a solid core that are all entering their prime. They have a far better roster than 4-5 years ago. There is no comparison to be made there. Worst case we have a ton of valuable pieces and a free agent destination.
The context under which the trade occurred was why the number of picks was high-The Nets hate TheKnicks and they would never do any business with them unless the offer was too good to pass up, it’s like you’re ex-girlfriend wants to buy your mattress…
Knicks didn’t mortgage their future. They had an abundance of picks. They still have first rounders and their entire team is mid 20s lol. Their future is great
With the Celtics supermax forwards entering their prime? Draymond is just using probability here. Nothing wrong with his take. I love the Knicks and he isnt a hater. He is part of the MEDIA. people dont get it.
Mikal gonna be so much better with the knicks also… a place he really wants to be… not miserable with the nets and on a shitty team…. Thibs makes players so much better also, especially players like Mikal… his defense will be sooooooooooo good…. There starting line up is insane and every player coming off the bench could start
1. knicks won't be rebuilding as long as brunson is with us. 2. philly and milwaukee can stay out of this conversation because are not going to beat us. it's going to be us vs boston, period. 3. it can be argued that boston's only advantage in their lineup over ours is porzingis; our 1-4 can EASILY match with their 1-4 and their bench is probably going to be worse than ours. 4. is brunson not a bucket getter? did donte/hart not make some insanely clutch shots throughout the playoffs? Overall, not quite a worse take than when he called us flukes during the pacers series, but still extremely short-sighted for thinking we have zero chance of beating boston.
They have a really good shot to beat Bos and I hope both teams remain fully healthy…unlikely. Though Bos advantage isn’t just KP. JT and JB are better than OG and MB period but NY has a better PG and more proven depth if they can keep them.
The knicks didnt trade all of their firsts though. They still have a ton of firsts and seconds left, and if youre saying you can see them finish first or second in the regular season then its not like you traded lottery picks away. Those have less value relative to a player who can add a ton to what you currently have; that with essentially just a starting lineup of players who started the year on the bench, almost made the ECF. Gotta respect the emotional swindle for engagement though lol
If we are honest. Good teams make adjustments. Indiana did. Now, they also benefited from us losing OG. If he was healthy, we sweep them. Or a Gentleman's sweep. We give them one home game. Looking back we should have rested most of the team on game 4. But, that's another story. Hindsite and all. But, we know teams have figured out at times how to deal with Brunson. He makes adjustments too but, they will double him up and play him as hard as possible. And the refs don't always call it when it crosses the line. So, there is that. Now, having said that. Julius wasn't playing either. If he was healthy, we would have had that second option that teams have to respect. They started to respect Hart. Cause he was burning them. And they know to respect D'v. But, lets face it. Everything ran through Brunson. Cause it had to at that point. So I think your mistaken to think we can't win a championship in the next 3 years. We certainly should make a finals. And if we are healthy we can win at least one. I think if we play the right team from the western conference. We definitely should win. Hopefully, its not another one from Texas.
This focus on draft picks is asinine when you’re built to be a competitor. Who gives a shit about these first rounders when you’re picking in the high 20s. The team is built to win, you go for it. Sitting on picks is ridiculous.
Idk if the Knicks will win but the Knicks haven’t done this before. They don’t usually give up a haul to try to win today. Even the Melo trade wasn’t going all in, it was to be relevant. They didn’t have the pieces. Now they feel they have the pieces and added another.
It seems to me that most these NBA talking heads are anti-Knicks. And I dont even think its the team they hate. Its moreso the fans, which in turn leads them to talk negative about the Knicks. We can't help that we're this passionate even tho we haven't won in over 50 yrs. Every team should only hope they had a fanbase such as ours
It’s always easy to shit on the Knicks for clicks
Now that I think about it I clicked instantly when i saw this 😭😭😭

The knicks were NEVER 1-2 games behind Boston. Where do yall get this stuff from? The closest they got the entire season was 5.5 games behind the Celtics. The funny part about that is, they didn’t touch the 2nd seed until the last game of the season. Nobody was close.
KNICKS HAVE MORE DEPTH THAN BOSTON NOW. BRIDGES START MAKES THE BENCH BETTER
Will not matter you have to put in the work. New York will find out this coming season. Boston will keep adding pieces.
Having a bench is great. But on the starting 5, boston wins 4 out of 5 matchups. The matchup you do win, with Brunson over d white or Jrue, that's going to be less than you think with more talent around.
The knicks are trying to incorporate over 55ppg into their starting lineup from a ball dominate PG with average distributing skills. Don't get me wrong, it's a good problem to have but it takes monumental sacrifices. Think about all the hate & criticism tatum took for sacrificing. Is Julius ready to sacrifice like that? Is brunson? Even if they are, how does it work? They have some figuring out to do.
@wannabegolfin24-72 OG and Bridges, defensively make it a challenge for Tatum and Brown KP is always hurt and Boston can't play the starters the whole game.
@@winstonellis1240maybe not but their bench players are underrated. Al is Al, hauser, Pritchard, then some of the other pieces continuing to develop. Also, OG is injured as much as KP is
@@winstonellis1240 I've never seen brown or tatum have issues with OG. I haven't seen enough of the match ups to call it on mikal
My dude! For one you acting like we the 2008 Knicks, we didn’t give any lottery picks up, two best wing duel in the League! Tatum and brown who?
I think you should look Brown and Tatum up. Pretty sure they just won the championship. Let’s make it to the eastern finals first before talking crazy
Knicks fans super excited to have the downgraded version of the Celtics 😂
@@Pats308 matchups bruh, if you have a feel for what your watching and not just a espn highlights expert you would know from watching both parties play in clutch situations brown and Tatum are woke!
@@emdeezy7529 the Knicks are not built like Boston, if you look at the team they are built to beat Boston..
Neither of those two are even close to as good as an offensive player as Brown, nevermind Tatum. Cool off big bro. Defense will be tough with that small lineup tho.

I've been a Knicks fan for over 35 years and unlike a lot of our fanbase I refuse to evaluate the Knicks through Blue & Orange lenses. Draymond unfortunately is right. All teams build an identity. The identity of this current Knicks roster is gritty & tough. The problem with that is that skill & talent are always going to win out the deeper you get into the postseason. It's a bit head scratching that this Front Office who is now going into Season 5 has NEVER added a dynamic shot creator with athleticism in their tenure. Based off what New Orleans just landed Dejounte Murray for, we could've saved 2 1st Round Draft picks & addressed a bigger need. Mikal is solid, OG is solid, Donte is solid, JHart is solid, McBride is solid...but all of these perimeter players are limited on the ball & are not capable of initiating an offense. Brunson is a great undersized ISO scorer, but a below average playmaker and he does not get easy baskets in the halfcourt being undersized & limited athletically. The Knicks halfcourt offense is still going to be mediocre again in the playoffs.
You weren't right. You said they'd lose to the Sixers.
Literally the entire NBA community is happy for the Knicks. And then there's draymond. 🤦🏽♂️
"You need guys who can get a bucket by any means necessary" I agree with that statement. But the Celtics don't have that guy. The Knicks do in Brunson. The Celtics even beat Luka who's the best ,"get a bucket"guy in the nba. The Celtics showed a great team can beat a great individual
Luka did great he didn’t have help with his team!
I'm trying to listen to this guy, but damn it's hard. Dude is talking like he's a great player. Imagine him on another team. Would he still be in the league and have a podcast anyone would listen to? Why can't some of us just be happy and blessed without thinking we're beyond what we are? When the Warriors need a bucket, tight game, bruh you on the beach!!!😂
Dre you a Older Player Who I respect your opinion, But you remind me of a Propeller plane in the army saying a Arrow Fighter Jets are good but I don't see them get you over the hump. Dre, what are the Knicks supposed to do lie down and do nothing that's Crazy" What the Knick's did do is able to develop a franchise to compete With Boston and Leon Rose Has provided us knicks fans hope. Something we have not had For over 30 years. GO KNICKS!!!!!
Dray just talking. It's kinda his job. Knicks will contend as long as Brunson is healthy. If the Knicks don't win (or at least come close) in the next couple years, Thibs and/or Randle might be shown the door, but they are not going to blow the whole thing up.
The deal is a dubb in 2 years if yall don't win
Those stupid fouls u commit won't get the warriors to the finals🤦🏿♂️
So i’ll make it simple. The Knicks were , healthy and flat footed right on pace with Boston. They are now a super team. They are built right, balanced, committed and defensively gifted.
Dumbest player in this league given a podcast 😂😂😂
Brotha please worry about your team currently falling apart, & be ready as you’ll be watching the Knicks from home….again
This will age well as with the Klay claim...
Draymond Green you need a life, you’re focusing too much on the Knicks. You’re a nobody as the NY Knicks fans are concerned. The Nova Knicks are the best things for our team. You’re jalous of their friendship, These men are winners and we love them. Don’t worry about the Knicks, they are going to be alright!
You sound ridiculous. So the guy who actually is in the mix of this needs a life, but you..? Don't? 😂
Damn tf the Knicks did to you dray this really starting to come off more then basketball analysis…. Dray your ass mite be trolling at this point
I bet money that the knicks have a better season then GSW
This Knicks team was a contender if healthy last season. They are going to be a problem for years to come.
Lmao what years to come yall window is 2 years with role players
Didn't Detroit win a championship with ROLE players 🤔..go Knicks
@@Eastnewyork2106 Nah lol Knicks are young. They were the real deal last year. Injuries did them in. Bridges will elevate this team.
As a Knick fan can I say bridges is the same player as you not a big factor on other teams but for Knicks he be amazing same with you with warriors any other team I don’t see draymond 💁
"My kale" 😂
I respect his honest assessment. It really comes down to playoff Julius. He has not been a bucket getter in the playoffs in the past. If playoff Julius can match regular season All NBA Julius, we might just get a ring
Dam Draymond as bad as you hate on my beloved NY Knicks you are 34 years old and you have more Grey hair then me and I'm 56 years old. Try to reverse that Grey because by time you get 44 you might be greyier then Poppa Smurf. 😅
No Dray you are wrong. Most of the players will stay here for 5 yrs. We building something here. Just like you guys did. We ain’t rebuilding in a few yrs. Watch us smoke Boston
How can anyone listen to an hour of this man talk lmaooo
This dude a broken record. Have a feeling even when the Knicks win a chip he would still hate.
What exactly did he even just say? He was just talking in circles the whole time.
impact of having the current roster:
cant double brunson 27 ppg
cant double randle 20 & 10
two of the best 2 way wings in the league to guard the best players
bench depth strengthened(donte/hart)
still will be a top 3 rebounding team in the nba
3pt shooting % increases based on current roster
3 high impact scoring options at the end of games(brunson,mikal,randle)
chemistry off the charts with nova connection
playoff experience!
yet according to draymond they dont get over the hump....
see yall next season.
😃
I agree ubtil i reread title. Hes not hating, jus not enough for celts
Whaddup Draymond my homie used to work the parking lot at a big time parking lot in East Lansing, said he met you and your people’s bout 2 years ago, dope story bro. Respect.
Draymond you are the next Charles Barkley stop acting smart . Plus your salty attitude toward the Knicks is obvious
Draymond is just a hater…how you hating on the Knicks and your team ain’t even make it to the playoffs
Of course it won’t work. It’s 4 small forwards + Jalen Brunson
It did pretty well this last round even with the way they run the team
With a healthy KP, Boston still better, but KP is rarely healthy. Without him, Knicks vs Boston becomes really interesting. Gotta wait n see what Philly does with their cap space to see if they’re in that mix.
Ahhh so I'm gonna stop you. The rudy trade had good players and a ton of picks. The knicks gave up a 34 year old who is getting worse, 4 picks that are the knicks(which wont be good because we'll be competing) and a bucks pick next year. We really didnt give up much .
Today this Knicks team beats the warriors by 20 easy by halftime with Steph and green on the floor
By 30 points easy
He’ll say “ this just a regular season win” 😂
Bridges is young and is on a upside, plus he's a good fit. The knicks still have picks as well. We still have a future and we have tradable pieces too.Og signing made the trade solidified. Don't worry they'll show you when they play yall next season.
Their biggest mistake wasn't trading for Bridges. It was not moving Robinson to allow them to keep Hartenstein first.
Knicks will be a second apron team for 3 of 5 years by the time those later picks come around, with or without Mikal, and according to the CBA, that means those picks will be "set to the end of the round". No matter what, they'll be in the 26th-30th range, purely because of CBA rules, not wins/losses. But Draymond's job here is just to say stuff, not to actually know stuff.
Donte like: "tf do you mean" 🤣
Remember “LOL Knicks”, it’s now LOL Draymond,
Draymond wanna be a villain in the NYK universe so bad 😂
This guy is such a Knicks hater. I wish he would just go away! Please do us all a favor retire and shut up. This was a great deal and like other players in the league their hate for the Knicks is so intense they can’t admit that the organization is actually having success and developing a winning culture
People be getting so tight that Draymond don’t take that injury filled 76ers series seriously
Who was more injured? New York or Philly?
@@flavorsofthecontinent7195exactly
What are you talking about who was injury filled ?
Inured u mean Randle out that's our second scorer philly had Maxey and Embiid we was injured our self we needed Randle in that series them guys folded brunson was kicking they ass
No Bridges, Randle, Mitch Robinson, no OG during Pacers series, a banged up Brunson... almost got us there... he's buggin
1) So ultimately you think they (The Knicks) should have kept the picks... for how long sir? When do you finally push your chips all in? 2) The Knicks are in a WAY better position to challenge for a title than your team (The Golden State Warriors) lol. 3) You keep speaking on how much people quit on things so fast yet you are not even letting the Knicks have a moment to prove what they can do. They made it to the 2nd round with 1/2 a team.... stop being a hypocrite sir.
Look. Knicks balled the majority of this season in a hurt lineup. Bench players and still had an amazing year. Cant see Mikal hurting that chemistry
You know what else won’t work ? You on the warriors still . We in much better position then yall . Stop talking about us for clicks and go worry bout ya team
I used to like this guy’s opinion…..now I see he’s biased…..and a Knicks hater
You’re a washed player on a lottery team talking trash.
Draymond is just mad the Knicks will be better than the dubs next season
Draymond is your team good enough to win it all this year and when do you predict they panic and trade you for a 2nd round pick?
Buddy, Mikal bridges trade has nothing to do with TJ gobert trade! Knicks got taxed because the nets knew their desperation to get the “nova Knicks” together….. Mikal is only worth that many picks to the Knicks! In an open market he is not getting traded for that much!
haters gonna hate lol.. knicks wil be better than yall. those picks will be late picks. we had so many that it didnt matter. the knicks were better than the warriors the last 2 seasons lol. stop hating
Not the biggest Draymond fan but I agree with him saying Knicks getting Mikal Bridges won’t get them back to the finals. The Knicks are just simply copycatting the Celtics, but that doesn’t necessarily means they’re going to the finals. I’m sure if they face the Celtics at some point in the playoffs the Celtics knowing they’re using some of their style of play and tactics they will have a counterattack as well. On top of that the Celtics still are the better team all the way around even with these new tweaks the Knicks created.
Celtics lose focus and they fall in love with the 3 they can be beat dont let this run fool you trike they the bulls in the 90s
@@moveezy5591they didn’t shoot well from 3 all finals yet won in 5. This is an over exaggerated take from ESPN about the 3pt deal
4-5 years away from being 4-5 away is crazy
My only issue with Draymond is he truly believes he was at some point a superstar. He talks as if he was the main reason the Warriors won rings, so we should be so honored to hear what he has to say. He truly believes he was as good as Barkley as a player and as good as Charles on the mic now. The reality is he was part of the core that played the roll they needed from him at an elite level. But at the same time, they still were good enough to win rings without him. Maybe not as many, but still would have won without him. And that's something Draymond would never ever want to hear, yet he thinks we should hear all the nonsense he has to say
With the team we have we can bring the celtics to 7 games. But who takes the series will be conditional on which bigs are healthier. I think its going to come down to a number of scenarios
If Porzingus is healthy and Robinson is not healthy: Celtics
If Porzingus is not healthy and Robinson isnt either: Celtics
If Porzingus is not healthy and Robinson is healthy: Knicks
The ladder is the most unlikely scenario.
Knicks needed to keep Hartenstein so bad.. Dude was putting up incredible numbers.. smdh.. I would have kept IH and traded for Caruso. Robinson is still a very good C. The only problem is he's injured a lot. They should be looking for a strong alternative C. Randle could be a huge help to them this season. I'm not sure who would want Randle and for who.. if they were to consider trying to trade him anyways.
Speaking of team's fkn up.. My Pacers fkd up royally when trading for Pascal. Pacers could have had OG, Hartenstein and another 3rd on a minimum. Kept their picks for this draft and 26' 1st.. Traded up to added Kel'el Ware.. then added Terrance Shannon Jr. Something like that. Jamal Shead, or Keshad Johnson. Or traded those into next season to improve that draft. I liked Klintman, or Jaylen Wells as projects. I think you guy's did solid adding Post.. Only a few team's are very smart with their 2nd round draft picks. Pacers have notoriously screwed up on those. Had Pacers not added OG, even though I think they would have if patient. There would have been DeMar DeRozan, or KCP and they could have swung Nembhard for a Caruso and most likely even gotten a 1st from CHI. Keeping themselves full of assets and control over their Cap space is key. Especially being a young developing team they should have been... Now all they did was fk up the team that could have been great in year's to come.. Because now, you've not only fkd yourself of signing like 3 player's to one Pascal.. But you also are losing out on Jarace your 7th overall pick.. Because now you have nowhere to play him... He could have developed into a pretty solid PF. I don't think he's a capable player for any other position at a consistent level. He's too heavy and feet are too slow to switch and guard SF/SG's.. smdh... like how the hell did they not see this.. Could have signed Bridges at PF. Dealt Jarace and gotten picks.. Pascal is an empty stats guy.. dude shoots like 45%fg and 30%3pt shots most often.. never having a consistent, or big game. Doesn't ever draw a double.. teams let him shoot.. Defensive Rating of 121. Despite the fact he can read defense and stay with his man. He fools you into thinking he's that good.. Because despite that, he's not stopping anyone. No blocks or steals and only single digit rebounds.. turns it over a couple time's a game. Never stretches the floor, when he does he's clanking 3's.. Or he will do frustrating bs like spin towards the basket. Shrink himself, fall to the ground and brick a layup. All because the defense only stayed with him. He plays with 0 tenacity at all.. and we already have Turner who doesn't play with tenacity most the time.. so that's a big problem.. I'm about fed up being a Pacers fan fr.. I'm gonna start watching other team's this year for the most part. Try and find a new team to rep.. Followed them my whole life. Getting tried of the cheap azz owner and bad decisions.
I still think this bridges trade is better player and better fit especially for playoffs the gobert trade
My favorite knick player is a toss between Marcus Camby or Oakley and Childs or Greg Anthony. I've always admired Cartwright and K.Martin
The Knicks are gonna kick your ass next year Draymond! No matter WHAT team you go to! 💯💪🏾✊🏾🤷🏾♂️
5 out of the 11 picks we had wtf we gone do with em?
Knicks have a solid core that are all entering their prime. They have a far better roster than 4-5 years ago. There is no comparison to be made there. Worst case we have a ton of valuable pieces and a free agent destination.
The context under which the trade occurred was why the number of picks was high-The Nets hate TheKnicks and they would never do any business with them unless the offer was too good to pass up, it’s like you’re ex-girlfriend wants to buy your mattress…
Knicks didn’t mortgage their future. They had an abundance of picks. They still have first rounders and their entire team is mid 20s lol. Their future is great
He’s right.. how many times have we seen teams like this fail horribly?! Celtics got chemistry and been together for a while. Knicks don’t!
Yes they do in Villanova
Don’t you miss the old days when the Knicks was winning 17 games a season 😂
Please shut up Draymond….using my Knicks to get more views Lmao….we’re not stupid
“My-kel “ who is this player. Dray gotta be trolling
With the Celtics supermax forwards entering their prime? Draymond is just using probability here. Nothing wrong with his take. I love the Knicks and he isnt a hater. He is part of the MEDIA. people dont get it.
Mikal gonna be so much better with the knicks also… a place he really wants to be… not miserable with the nets and on a shitty team…. Thibs makes players so much better also, especially players like Mikal… his defense will be sooooooooooo good…. There starting line up is insane and every player coming off the bench could start
1. knicks won't be rebuilding as long as brunson is with us.
2. philly and milwaukee can stay out of this conversation because are not going to beat us. it's going to be us vs boston, period.
3. it can be argued that boston's only advantage in their lineup over ours is porzingis; our 1-4 can EASILY match with their 1-4 and their bench is probably going to be worse than ours.
4. is brunson not a bucket getter? did donte/hart not make some insanely clutch shots throughout the playoffs?
Overall, not quite a worse take than when he called us flukes during the pacers series, but still extremely short-sighted for thinking we have zero chance of beating boston.
They have a really good shot to beat Bos and I hope both teams remain fully healthy…unlikely. Though Bos advantage isn’t just KP. JT and JB are better than OG and MB period but NY has a better PG and more proven depth if they can keep them.
The knicks didnt trade all of their firsts though. They still have a ton of firsts and seconds left, and if youre saying you can see them finish first or second in the regular season then its not like you traded lottery picks away. Those have less value relative to a player who can add a ton to what you currently have; that with essentially just a starting lineup of players who started the year on the bench, almost made the ECF. Gotta respect the emotional swindle for engagement though lol
If we are honest. Good teams make adjustments. Indiana did. Now, they also benefited from us losing OG. If he was healthy, we sweep them. Or a Gentleman's sweep. We give them one home game. Looking back we should have rested most of the team on game 4. But, that's another story. Hindsite and all.
But, we know teams have figured out at times how to deal with Brunson. He makes adjustments too but, they will double him up and play him as hard as possible. And the refs don't always call it when it crosses the line. So, there is that. Now, having said that. Julius wasn't playing either. If he was healthy, we would have had that second option that teams have to respect. They started to respect Hart. Cause he was burning them. And they know to respect D'v. But, lets face it. Everything ran through Brunson. Cause it had to at that point.
So I think your mistaken to think we can't win a championship in the next 3 years. We certainly should make a finals. And if we are healthy we can win at least one. I think if we play the right team from the western conference. We definitely should win. Hopefully, its not another one from Texas.
This focus on draft picks is asinine when you’re built to be a competitor. Who gives a shit about these first rounders when you’re picking in the high 20s. The team is built to win, you go for it. Sitting on picks is ridiculous.
Idk if the Knicks will win but the Knicks haven’t done this before. They don’t usually give up a haul to try to win today. Even the Melo trade wasn’t going all in, it was to be relevant. They didn’t have the pieces. Now they feel they have the pieces and added another.
Watch us work 🗽🗽
So Jalen Brunson can’t get a bucket on anybody?
The comments can say what they want. Draymond is right about this Knicks team.
It seems to me that most these NBA talking heads are anti-Knicks. And I dont even think its the team they hate. Its moreso the fans, which in turn leads them to talk negative about the Knicks. We can't help that we're this passionate even tho we haven't won in over 50 yrs. Every team should only hope they had a fanbase such as ours
